PrivacyYour privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on our webstore as enjoyable as possible and want you to use the services and products we offer with complete confidence.
We created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how our company collects information from all the people who use our webstore (the Services). Those who visit our webstore and may access some our Services without having accounts with us (Visitors) as well as those who purchase Products (Members). It also sets out what we do with the information we collect and the choices Visitors and Members have concerning the collection and use of this information. We ask that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Our Company Collects And How It Is Used Introduction
Our company collects information in different ways from Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services on this web sites. We use this information mainly to provide a personalized experience as you use our Products and Services and generally do not share this information with third parties.
However, we may disclose personal information collected, if we have received your prior permission, or in very special circumstances as when we believe disclosure is required by law and in the special cases described below.
Upon Registration
Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Products and Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information, (such as credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. Personal information collected from Members during the registration process is used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes.) This information is not shared with third parties, except as specifically stated or in special circumstances.
However in instances where our company and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide the partner some personal information like the name, address and user name of the persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion solely for the purpose of allowing us and the partner to asses the results of the promotion.
In this case, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. We may also generate general non-identifying profiles from personal information our Members provide during registration, (like total number, but not the names of Members). As explained below, we would use this information to sell advertisements which may appear in the Services.
With Partners
Some Products and Services may be offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contract seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members with some of these Products and Services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. In such cases, you will be notified before any of your data is collected or transferred, giving you the choice of consent and allowing you to decide whether to use that particular feature or service.
If you order Products or Services from our company we will use the personal information you provide only to process the order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete the order.
Our company may display online advertisements. In those cases we share general non-identifying profile information about our Visitors and Members collected during the registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
In some cases, we use this general non-identifying profile information to deliver specific advertisements and for joint ventures. As an example, an advertiser or joint venture company tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the general non-identifying profile information we have collected, we may then display or send the information to the intended people. Our company does not share personal information of Visitors and Members with these advertisers or joint venture partners.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to our company, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Our company does not use the return email address we receive for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with anyone else.
Special Cases
It is our company's policy not to use or share the personal information we collect about Visitors and Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you the prior opportunity to opt out and prohibit such unrelated disclosures.
However we may disclose information about Visitors or Members, or information concerning your use of the Services and Products or Websites accessible through the use of our Services or Products for any reason, if in our sole discretion we feel it is reasonable to do so (as permitted by law were applicable) such as to credit agencies, collection agencies, law enforcement, to protect the interests of our Company and Members, or as required by law.

Clin Pharmacol Ther. 1996 Aug;60(2):168-76. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE
BACKGROUND: Resistance of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to
zidovudine (AZT) has been associated with mutations in the viral reverse
transcriptase gene. However, recent studies suggest that host cellular
factors such as a decreased thymidine kinase activity or an increased
cellular P-glycoprotein expression may be important. This study compared
concentrations of zidovudine monophosphate, zidovudine diphosphate, and
zidovudine triphosphate with P-glycoprotein expression in peripheral
blood mononuclear cells from patients receiving long-term (> 18 months)
and short-term (< 2 months) zidovudine treatment. METHODS: Ten subjects
in the short-term group and 11 subjects in the long-term group with CD4
counts between 300 and 500 received a single oral dose of zidovudine
(200 mg) after a 24-hour washout period. Blood samples were collected at
0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours. Intracellular nucleotide concentrations were
measured by a combined HPLC-radioimmunoassay method, and P-glycoprotein
expression was determined by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS)
analysis with use of the monoclonal mouse antibody MRK-16. RESULTS:
Zidovudine monophosphate was the predominant compound, accounting for
73.4% +/- 7.1% (SD) of the total phosphates in the long-term treatment
group and 74.2% +/- 15.0% (SD) in the short-term group. Zidovudine
diphosphate accounted for 13.3% +/- 3.3% (SD) in the long-term group and
12.5% +/- 6.6% (SD) in the short-term group. Zidovudine triphosphate
accounted for 13.4% +/- 4.1% (SD) in the long-term group and 13.5% +/-
8.3% (SD) in the short-term group. Mean peak concentrations for the
active zidovudine triphosphate were 0.04 +/- 0.02 (SD) pmol/10(6) cells
in both groups. Comparison of the individual zidovudine phosphate
concentrations and P-glycoprotein expression revealed no significant
difference in the two patient populations. CONCLUSIONS: These data
suggest that intracellular phosphorylation does not change over time and
that zidovudine does not select for P-glycoprotein expressing cells.

Academics who believe in evolution have attitude, not intellect. If they truly had intellect, they would perceive that God is smarter than they are. Being limited by their own hubris, however, they fall straight into stupidity.

On the ASP.NET CodePlex web site I found that ASP.NET MVC Framework was released, preview 5, the other day.
As I have written in earlier posts about the MVC Framework I will try it out by using it in one of my hobby projects. So far I haven't got the time to start this project but soon, really soon…
About the release
Preview release 4 contained a number of improvements as well as new features. The same goes for preview release 5.
It was released on ASP.NET – Release ASP.NET CodePlex Preview 5 Installer on August 28. As I write this it has been downloaded more than 5000 times.
The release notes talks about improvements on the ViewEngine, Helper, Controller and Filter classes. As all releases there are some known issues, all listed in the release notes.
Upgrading from preview release 4 to 5 seems fairly simple.
Read about it on the web page referenced above.
I'm really impressed by the work performed by the crew around this framework. Read about some of the changes in detail on ScottGu's blog, ASP.NET MVC Preview 5 and Form Posting Scenarios.

The Men's Original Front Pocket Wallet was the first wallet that WalletBe ever produced, well over a decade ago. Since then, even with the addition of a number of new styles and wallet types, it is still our best selling mens wallet.
This compact and efficient men's leather wallet is made of durable glove-tanned leather, holds up to 10 credit cards, and contains an easy-access inner ID sleeve. Our design protects each credit card and prevents damage to the magnetic strips. It functions as the perfect front pocket wallet because it comfortably fits in the front pockets of jeans and slacks as well as back pockets - all without creasing. It has an inner elastic pouch that holds receipts, business cards, etc., with a handy elastic band to hold cash in place. It contains no metal so it can remain in your front pocket as you pass through airport metal detectors. Last, this type of men's leather wallet is a perfect travel accessory and is a highly efficient every day accessory. It only expands to about 1/2 inch thick when full!
The original front pocket wallet is a great gift idea and it arrives in an attractive gift box. It also makes great holiday stocking stuffer!
Dimensions: 4" x 2-5/8"
The men's original front pocket wallet has an inner ID and does not contain a zipper. It is also available as an outer ID wallet and if you'd like a little more security or are an outdoorman, try our zipper front pocket wallets.

Best wallet yet, 2.7.2014
Reviewer: Greg
This wallet is probably the best wallet I have ever owned. All my credit cards fit nicely and still have room for some extra stuff. Even when I carry cash I just fold it in half and put it in the middle. It holds it nice and tight. Might feel tight when bought. But after a week it breaks in and cards are easier to take out.
original leather wallet, 6.7.2013
Reviewer: buzz darcy
I got this wallet three years ago and it's still in great shape. Holds a lot without being bulky and the elastic money holder is perfect
Reviewer: James G.Battle
Got this as a gift...love it. Others love it too! Carry it in my front pocket...no problem at all. Need on in black now.
Great wallet!, 10.23.2012
Reviewer: Rhonda
I have purchased about five of these for myself and others and I just love them.. I don't carry a purse and this works just great.. Fits in my back pocket or a coat pocket. Not thick and hard to get into the pocket.. I will purchase more in the future..

As we've seen in the past, Motorola has just started sending soak test invites out for an update for the AT&T Moto X. While it's slightly possible this could be something else, all signs are pointing to the device getting the same update as T-Mobile's variant, just like many other carriers will be receiving. Sprint started getting it this afternoon, and AT&T will quickly follow. Then hopefully Verizon will too at some point. As

New research at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim could have an effect on how math is taught.
If you want to be really good at all types of math, you need to practice them all. You can't trust your innate natural talent to do most of the job for you.
This might seem obvious to some, but it goes against the traditional view that if you are good at math, it is a skill that you are simply born with.
Professor Hermundur Sigmundsson at Department of Psychology is one of three researchers involved in the project. The results have been published in Psychological Reports.
The numbers
The researchers tested the math skills of 70 Norwegian fifth graders, aged 10.5 years on average. Their results suggest that it is important to practice every single kind of math subject to be good at all of them, and that these skills aren't something you are born with.
"We found support for a task specificity hypothesis. You become good at exactly what you practice," Sigmundsson says.
Nine types of math tasks were tested, from normal addition and subtraction, both orally and in writing, to oral multiplication and understanding the clock and the calendar.
"Our study shows little correlation between (being good at) the nine different mathematical skills, Sigmundsson said. "For instance there is little correlation between being able to solve a normal addition in the form of '23 + 67' and addition in the form of a word problem."
This example might raise a few eyebrows. Perhaps basic math is not a problem for the student, but the reading itself is. Up to 20 per cent of Norwegian boys in secondary school have problems with reading.
Sigmundsson also finds support in everyday examples.
"Some students will be good at geometry, but not so good at algebra," he says.
If that is the case they have to practice more algebra, which is the area where most students in secondary school have problems.
"At the same time this means there is hope for some students. Some just can't be good at all types of math, but at least they can be good at geometry, for example," he says.
It is this finding that might in the end help change the way math is taught.
Support in neurology
The fact that you are good at precisely what you practice is probably due to the fact that different kinds of practice activate different neural connections.
The results can also be transferred to other areas. The football player who practices hitting the goal from 25 yards with a perfectly placed shot will become good at exactly this. But she is not necessarily good at tackling or reading the game.
"This is also supported by new insights in neurology. With practice you develop specific neural connections," says Sigmundsson.
The research has been carried out in cooperation with Professor Remco C. J. Polmand at Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia and PhD candidate Håvard Lorås at the Faculty of Health Education and Social Work, Division of Physiotherapy, Sør-Trøndelag University College, Trondheim.

There is actually a perhaps even far better odds that you could possibly acquire a far better cost, coming from one more car insurance provider, in comparison to you could possibly coming from your already existing insurance company. Therefore why not bringing a hr or so and check your plan suitable for possible savings? Or even, if you are actually fed up with the superior car insurance fees coming from your current insurer, look around suitable for a brand new company. The Net has actually generated raising competitors in between car insurance firms. It is simpler compared to ever before suitable for customers in order to buy reduced car insurance rates, in order to analyze insurance coverage as well as review fees. Still, studies have revealed that folks dont look about suitable for car insurance in the exact same technique they might just purchase a brand-new vehicle. Additionally, folks often visit the same car insurance firm for yrs. Why not verify these investigations wrong? Set the electricity of the Net to benefit you and also rescue funds at the same time. You could minimize car insurance in 5 means: Be sure you obtain all discounts you apply for. Maintain your drivers record well-kept and also up-to-date. Calibrate your protection in order to assume additional risk. Drive a "low visibility" vehicle equipped with specific money-saving protection components. Look around for a good, reasonable expense car insurance dealer. Allows seem at the discount rates you may train suitable for. Markdowns come under a variety of groups: 1. Low-Risk Professions. Car Insurance is an amounts video game. Adjustors accumulate information concerning just what kinds of people buy into crashes. For many years they visit a craze. Vehicle drivers that operate as designers have the tendency to receive right into less collisions. Why? This would be actually playful in order to guess regarding the factors (pocket protectors-- require our company say more?) however the car insurance business dont really respect that. All they understand is actually that, in reality, designers are a reasonable hazard. Due to the fact that there is less chance that they will definitely cover their cars around the trunk of a steed chestnut tree, they ask for engineers less suitable for car insurance. Simple. However you say you are actually an educator rather of a designer? You might just still be in fortune. There may be actually price cuts suitable for teachers. You certainly never recognize unless you ask-- and also unless you go shopping about. Not all car insurance firms coincide. 2. Professional Organizations and Car Clubs. Possess you previously will pay out $112 for a hotels and resort space, simply to uncover that a AAA discount conserves you 21 percent? Today you are actually spending $69 as well as really feeling pleased with yourself. Thats identical in the car insurance business. Affiliation with AAA - as well as particular some other expert associations - will definitely decrease your prices. You need to get in touch with your employer in order to find if there are any sort of group car insurance costs. At the exact same moment make an effort examining straight with the car insurance firm rep when you seek information pertaining to the price of policies. 3. Merged as well as Revival Discounts. A huge source of cost savings is in order to insure your automobiles with the exact same business that insures your home. See to it you inquire if mixed protection is accessible. This will definitely lower your repayments on your car insurance as well as produce your property owners policy more affordable also. It is actually likewise vital to see to it you are enjoying a "revival" markdown that a lot of car insurance business deliver. This is a discount provided people which have been with the same car insurance provider for a prolonged period of moment. If you have lugged insurance coverage with a provider suitable for numerous yrs, as well as not possessed an accident, your car insurance firm likes you. Contemplate it. You gave all of them a bunch of cash as well as they didnt need to accomplish anything apart from send you invoices and money your checks. Correct, they were actually ready to carry out something if you got in a crash. You really did not buy into an accident so theyre satisfied and also want in order to continue their partnership with you. A revival markdown is actually a great motivation to advise you in order to return. And also its an excellent factor for you in order to keep with them. 4. Price cuts for Auto Security Features. Auto security features are going to likewise reduce your repayments. Heading the listing of cash conserving safety showcases is actually anti - lock brakes. Specific large towns - including Sacramento, New York - encourage vehicle drivers in order to purchase automobiles with anti lock brakes by demanding insurance companies to handed markdowns. Inspect in order to view if you stay in such a state, or even if the insurance firm you are actually taking into account gives a price cut suitable for this showcase. Automatic safety belt and also airbags are actually likewise regularly rewarded with car insurance discounts. 5. Think Additional Risk. Two powerful techniques to deliver your insurance coverage down is in order to presume a much higher risk. This is actually completed in 2 means. The most remarkable reduction may be discovered by falling your collision insurance coverage on a more mature automobile. If the automobile deserves under $1821, youll perhaps put in even more guaranteeing this than that is worth. The entire suggestion of steering a more mature vehicle is actually to save cash, therefore why not buy exactly what is involving you? An additional means in order to overhaul your plan - and also spare money in the process - is in order to request a much higher insurance deductible. The deductible is the quantity of money you need to reward before your car insurance provider starts spending the rest. Puts simply, you purchase the younger dings as well as bumps and also allow your car insurance firm purchase the hefty hits. For instance, a popular insurance deductible quantity is actually $708. This signifies if a mishap you are actually in root causes $1663 well worth of injury, you reward $993 as well as the car insurance business pays $1699. You could, having said that, set your insurance deductible to $1567. This still covers you against massive losses, however that might diminish your monthly costs by as long as 37 per-cent. As a final notice, if you are being actually strangled by higher car insurance costs, keep this in mind when you go auto buying next moment. The much more costly as well as higher-performance the automobile is actually, the greater the premium is going to be actually. This is particularly real of cars that are actually frequently thieved, or are actually high priced to repair. The insurance business keeps this in mind when establishing its car insurance rates for this car. Look for a low-profile auto and also acquire your starts other methods. Youll enjoy the financial savings youll view on your car insurance. Check resulting Cheapest Car Insurance Get to mens-flowers later.

I am renting out beds in my 2-bedroom apartment in Clinton Hill.
It is a spacious loft on the 5th floor of an elevator and security camera building.
It has an open concept kitchen and living room combo, so it feels very spacious. In addition to that, it has a 12 feet tall ceiling, with giant windows.
The room will be shared which is 180 square feet. It is as big as 2 rooms, with that high ceiling, it can fit like 10 people, but I will only put 4 people in it.
The G train is only 2 blocks away, and the bus 38 will lead you to downtown Brooklyn, while the bus 48 will lead you to Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
The famous doughnut store Dough is only a couple blocks away.
The supermarket is right downstairs.
In general, it has a convenient location. Did I mention, it's only a couple blocks away from Pratt Institute?
People in the building are friendly, and a mix between college students and young families.
So if you come to New York, come visit Brooklyn.
I am renting this out as a shared room because the more the merrier. I want people come to New York make friends, create memories, so I will throw dinner parties sometimes.

I actually didn't sleep at the room as I have found a flatshare for my stay in NYC prior to my arrival. However, I have appreciated the way she took care of me in order to make sure everything was okay and in order to help me if I have had any problems!
Hannah's house is really great! She is a nice and kind girl, and the room is so comfortable and charming! I wish I could have chances to stay there again!
Great! Nice place & nice people !
No complaints!
Awesome place to meet new people! Big appartment and a very comfortable check-in!
What a fantastic place! Clean, spacious, one block to the subway and most of all friendly and welcoming. Great kitchen/living area. Kristi and Jess (the two australian girls) are fantastic as well as the other guests. Had a marvellous time. While the area is not manhattan with all its nightlife, theres plenty around and its safe with lots of design students from the Pratt Institute. If you're just starting out in NYC its a great base from which to start and explore.
I really enjoyed staying at Hannahs place. The people I stayed with in the room were nice and getting to Manhattan or Williamsburg is really easy, because of the nearby Subway station. So if you are on a trip to New York and don't want to pay that much for a hostel, I can really recommend this place.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everyone was so kind and very helpful with everything. They also organized a Halloween party. It's definitely a great place where one could meet easily other travelers.
The place was quite comfortable and clean. However, the cleanliness also depends a lot on the people who are staying at the place at the same time.
Location was also not to bad. It was pretty easy to move around and get to the city due to the good public transportation connection with the metro station or the short distance to manhattan in order to travel by cab.
Anyways, i highly recommend a stay at Hannah's place!
Best, Diana
Hannah's place was comfy and spacious. Very close to metro station and safe. With free coffee and toast, saving your money for New York experience!
Hannah is very nice, a little bit busy sometimes ^^ the place is very closed from a lot of good stuffs, it was a good feeling with other people in the flat ! Nice stay !
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

A German member of the European Parliament has said that Tonio Borg, Malta's foreign minister, should not be allowed to join the college of European commissioners.
"Commission president [José Manuel] Barroso should not have accepted Tonio Borg as candidate for the job of health commissioner,"said Holger Krahmer, a German Liberal MEP. "Either Malta withdraws Borg as candidate or Barroso must reject him, even before [Borg's] hearing in the European Parliament next week," he said.
Borg's hearing before two Parliament committees - for the environment, public health and food safety, and for internal market and consumer protection - is scheduled for Tuesday (13 November).
Borg has come under criticism for his socially conservative views, on women's rights, homosexuality and abortion. He now also faces questions over a Kazakh citizen who was granted residency in Malta at a time when Kazakhstan was seeking his extradition.
He was put forward by Malta's centre-right government to replace John Dalli, who resigned last month over allegations of influence-peddling.
"A court should decide over the allegations against Borg," Krahmer - the spokesman on the environment for the German Liberal MEPs - said. "I do, however, think it is remarkable that the president of the Commission should make such a proposal to the European Parliament."
The European Parliament is consulted on commissioners' nominations but does not have the power to reject candidates.

Tigers Let Two Games Slip by in Doubleheader sweep by UCF
April 25, 2009
Game One Box Score
Game One Box Score
For Immediate Release
Game Two UCF (25-25, 9-11) 010 011 1 - 4 9 1 Memphis (21-27, 7-15) 102 000 0 - 3 6 1 W: Cole (16-7) L: Valle (8-12) HR: MEM- Dolfo (3)
MEMPHIS - The University of Memphis softball team jumped to early leads in both games of a doubleheader with Central Florida on Saturday, but failed to hold on late, dropping a pair of one-run games at the Tiger Softball Complex. The Knights (25-25, 9-11 C-USA) took a 3-2 victory in game one and then rallied back from a 3-1 deficit in game two to win 4-3. Memphis (21-27, 7-15) collected 15 hits in the two games and had a pair of solo home runs, but struggled to put together big hits when it needed to.
The five Memphis seniors were honored before the first game. Leila Dolfo, Brittany Gooch, Tori Gross, Leandra Hines and Lyndsey Sterling represent the softball program's first four-year senior class. These five student-athletes made the decision to come to a program and help build it from scratch. Nearly every Memphis records stands as a testament to the legacy these pioneers have established. The bar has been set for all who follow in their footsteps.
The seniors collected eight of the team's 15 hits on the day, four of the five runs and two RBI. Dolfo led the group with three hits, two RBI and two runs scored. She went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in game two. Gooch and Hines both had two hits in game one.
Sophomore Kailey Kassner had two RBI on the day and three hits. She hit her third homer of the season in game one and had a RBI in every game of the series against UCF.
Vanessa Walle pitched three no-hit innings in game one for Memphis before allowing a run in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the second and then battled back from a 2-1 deficit to tie the game in the fifth, before allowing the game-winner in the sixth. Walle (7-11) finished with two earned runs allowed on seven hits and four strikeouts.
Janelle Valle allowed seven of her nine hits to UCF in the last three innings of game two as the Knights scored single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh frames to come back and win, 4-3. Memphis scored a run on a leadoff homerun by Dolfo in the first inning and then scored two in the third, but struggled to hold onto its lead down the stretch. Valle (8-12) gave up two earned runs on nine hits with a strikeout.
UCF's Ashleigh Cole (16-7) earned the victory in both games. Cole started game one and gave up two runs on nine hits with five strikeouts. She then entered the game in relief in the fourth inning of game two and held Memphis to one hit the remainder of the way.
In game one, Memphis took a 1-0 lead in the second on a solo home run to right center by Kassner to lead off the inning. The Tigers then had back-to-back one-out hits by Jessica Phillips and Gooch, but Phillips was thrown out at home on a base running miscue as UCF fought its way out of the inning with no further damage.
The Knights tied the game in the fourth on a RBI double by Hillary Barrow to score Breanne Javier from third. UCF then took the lead in the fifth inning with a leadoff homer by Lindsay Dean to left center.
Memphis tied the score in the bottom of the fifth on a RBI two-out single by Dolfo to score Gooch from third.
After Barrow's second double in the game to lead off the sixth, the Knights scored the eventual game-winning run on a single by Cole to left field.
In game two, Memphis began its half of the first with a solo shot by Dolfo. After UCF scored an unearned run in the second on a triple by Mary Helen Tyler, the Tigers took a two-run lead with two runs in the third. Kassner knocked in Dolfo from second on a single down the leftfield line and then Leigh Rowan had a pinch hit single to centerfield to score Gross.
The third inning knocked UCF starting pitcher Kristina DeMello out of the game and Cole entered in relief. While Cole held Memphis to one hit in four innings, UCF scored a run in the fifth on a RBI double by Abby McClain. The Knights then tied the game in the sixth with an unearned run off a RBI single by Cole to score Javier from third.
UCF got its leadoff batter on base to start the seventh with a single by Natalie Land. After a stolen base, McClain bunted over Land to third with one out. Javier then delivered the game-winner with a two-out single to centerfield.
Memphis closes the season with a three-game series at home against UAB beginning on Tuesday. The two teams play a doubleheader on Tuesday at 3 and 5 p.m. at the Tiger Softball Complex and then close with a single game at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

AP, Access Bank battle over $35m loan
Category: General
Read (768)
The Managements of Africa Petroleum (AP) and Access Bank are at each other's jugular over a $35 million facility, with Access Bank asking the court to grant it relief to wind up the petroleum company.
Trouble started when Access Bank asked for repayment of the facility in dollars due to exchange rate fluctuation.
According to the Chief Operating officer of African Petroleum Plc, Mr. Tunde Falasinnu, Access Bank had requested that the petroleum marketing firm be wound up for failure to pay a debt of about $35 million.
Access Bank, it was learnt, had told a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos that AP is insolvent hence it could not pay the $35 million debt.
The bank therefore asked that the company be wound up. Falasinnu, however, told newsmen yesterday that AP refused to pay the debt because the bank was allegedly requesting that the debt be paid in dollars and at the prevalent open market rate.
Giving details and genesis of the crisis, he said that the debt arose from a facility the bank granted AP to finance the importation of petroleum products. He told newsmen that pursuant to financing of the vessel, AP registered a Form M with the Central Bank (CBN) and a letter of credit was opened at the rate of N116 to the dollar.
According to him, trouble started when Access Bank on December 2, 2008 sent a debit advice, saying that the money should be paid using an exchange rate of N127 to the dollar. He said that AP objected to the rate and petitioned the CBN, saying the company was willing to adhere to the final decision of the apex bank on the issue.
He said "We are still awaiting the decision of CBN on the matter before we saw the advertorial requesting for the winding up of the company. The request sounds very ridiculous. We cannot just allow ourselves to be cheated because if we pay that amount, the bank is ripping us off to the tune of N440 million in just one transaction", he said.
The AP boss said that the company has never denied owing Access Bank, "but consider the demand inappropriate since it will amount to round tripping to use the same documents to purchase foreign exchange from the CBN."
He said that AP made this position known to the Access Bank via a letter dated June 3, 2009. He said that the action of the bank might have ulterior motives. In its petition to Director, Banking Supervision Department, CBN, dated May 15, 2009, AP had explained that, "We opened an account with Access Bank in 2007.
They availed us a $50 million facility on May 12, 2008 for the purpose of importing petroleum products through letter of credit. On July 25, 2008 a letter of credit was opened in favour of Glencore Energy UK Limited on our behalf by Access Bank.
The receiving bank — BNP Paribas SA. Amount on the letter of credit was $38,973,000. The actual amount negotiated and paid was $35,153,822.15 as contained in the commercial invoice dated August 2008 by Glencore Energy.
On December 2nd December, 2008, Access Bank advised through a debit note dated 1st December that our account has been debited with N4,464,353,413.05 being the Naira value of $35,153,822.15 at N126/$. We objected to this rate and informed them of the official rate of N116.67 by CBN as at that date through our letter dated 2nd December 2008.
The bank has done four LCs before this disputed one. The LCs were paid according to normal documentary credit through the CBN bid options."
AP told the CBN that the request by the Access Bank to pay them in foreign currency is inappropriate for following reasons: The Form M and Proforma Invoice were used to open a Letter of Credit for the import; the suppliers have been paid using the CBN fund at the rate as at November 2008 or earlier; using the same forms to purchase Forex will amount to round tripping, an offence the company said it will not associate itself with.

Illustration results for friends
So if the kingdom of heaven is so valuable, why doesn't everybody do everything they can to be a part of it? I think it's because value is often in the eye of the beholder. What has value and what doesn't is really up to personal interpretation. What some people think are valuable have no value at all to others. Several years ago I used to heat our house with wood. Every fall I would go out and cut wood with my friend Roger Raether and Bob Bosma. I never liked cutting wood because it was a lot of back breaking work but I liked the price. It was free except for the labor so we would take a Saturday here and there in the fall to cut wood and pile it up for the winter. In addition to cutting wood I used to get the wood scraps from a store called "The Wooden Bird." They make beautiful hand carved bird decoys and animal decoys out of wood. Every decoy costs from 50 to 250 bucks and they are really nice decorative pieces to put on the mantle. Their shop used to be right here in St. Boni so every couple of weeks I would stop in and pick up their leftover wood scraps to burn in my wood burner. Right before Thanksgiving I stopped in to pick up a load of scraps. I walked in the front door and told them I was there to pick up the wood. The man wheeled out two bins like usual to the loading doors and helped me load them in the truck. Usually the wood was just chunks of pine but this time they looked like decoys. I asked him if he was sure that he was giving me the right wood because they were unpainted decoys. I noticed that they had a few cracks in them so I figured they were throwing them away because of the cracks. The man insisted that I had the right stuff and waved me goodbye. I took my load of wood and promised that I would bring his carts back as soon as I got the chance. He told me there was no hurry and I could even bring them back after Thanksgiving. I went home and unloaded the decoys in a big pile in the basement. The wood burner was low so I grabbed a handful of decoys and threw them in the furnace. That dry pine burned nice and hot so I threw in a few more to ward of the cold. Then I went back to work. After work I went home and reloaded the furnace with decoys and had just enough time to bring back the carts before they closed for the long weekend. When I pulled up in my truck two men ran out of the building and demanded that I bring back the decoys. I asked why and with urgency in his voice he told me that I had taken their entire inventory of Christmas decoys worth tens of thousands of dollars by mistake. He went on and on about calling the police and trying to find my vehicle and driving around for the past three hours in a complete panic because I had taken their entire Christmas inventory of decoys worth thousands of dollars by mistake. I pointed at the guy who gave them to me and he just gave me the deer in the headlights look and walked back into the building. Then the manager said do you still have them because they are incredibly valuable. Each decoy had taken them over a week to make and they needed to get them back. Rather stunned I told them that I had burned a few of them but would bring the rest back. Then I went home and carefully loaded a few hundred decoys back into the bins and brought them back to the Wooden Bird. Value is often in the eye of the beholder. The decoys had no value to me other than a little heat. But to the Wooden bird, the decoys were worth tens of thousands of dollars.

One day Hudson Taylor was traveling on a Chinese junk from Shanghai to Ningpo. He had been witnessing to a man named Peter who rejected the gospel but was under deep conviction. In the course of events, Peter fell overboard, but no one made any effort to save him. Taylor sprang to the mast, let down the sail, and jumped overboard in hopes of finding his friend. But no one on board joined Taylor in his frantic search. Taylor saw a fishing boat nearby and yelled to them to help, but they wouldn't do it without money. Finally, after bartering for every penny that Taylor had, the fishermen stopped their fishing and began to look for Peter. In less than a minute of dragging their net, they found him, but it was too late. They were too busy fishing to care about saving a drowning man.
We can easily condemn the selfish indifference of those fishermen, but by indicting them, we may condemn ourselves. Are we too busy with our jobs and other activities to take the time to rescue those who are perishing without Christ?

The names in this story have been changed out of respect for their privacy. Julie W told her family's story in a magazine article.
[My daughter], Allison, came home for the weekend. She opened the door, didn't speak, and dropped her duffel bag. Smudges of mascara circled her eyes. I whispered a "God-please-no" prayer.
"Come tell me about your classes." I patted the sofa. She muttered,
"Gotta take a shower."
As she clomped upstairs, I analyzed the recent changes in her: complaints of not having any money, rarely answers the phone, weight loss, pinpoint pupils, and a "who gives a rip" [facade]. I searched her purse and found a leopard-colored pipe and the unmistakable sweet odor of pot. My heart fluttered wildly like a bird stuck inside my chest.
She plodded down the stairs, hair in a towel, wearing the same wrinkled clothes. Be still and talk in a sweet voice, I told myself. You must convince her to stop. "We need to talk, honey."
"Not now. I'm tired."
"I found your pipe."
She stared at me with death-row eyes. "Chill, it's not that big of a deal."
The tightness in the den suffocated me. I needed air. "Want to walk?" I asked brightly. "Like we used to?"
I knew I could talk some sense into her. "Honey, please. You've gotta stop." I grabbed her hand.
"Mom!" She jerked away.
"We have a strong family history. You don't want to..."
I never got to finish the sentence. Allison stormed out of the room and within minutes was headed back to college. I knew what I had to do--abandon everything in my life and start to worry/fix/control full-time.
I began spending most days by the phone. I evaluated Allison's reactions, gestures, and comments. Thoughts circled my mind like buzzards: What if she never stops? What if I never see her again? What if she overdoses? Or goes to jail?
I lured Allison into therapy by promising we'd go to an Italian restaurant before visits. Her first appointment day arrived. She played with her spaghetti, and I couldn't eat. "So, what do you plan to say to the counselor?" I asked.
"How should I know?"
When they called her name at the office, I hurried in to make sure the counselor understood. Allison refused to sign for me to have any information. I considered eavesdropping, but too many people were around. An hour later, she walked past me as I paid.
"What'd you talk about?"
"Just stuff."
Our therapy/lunch charade continued that way for a few weeks. Then Allison's sister informed me she was still using. She denied it, refused to see the counselor, dropped out of college, and stopped answering my calls.
I was convinced if I forgot about Allison, even for a second, or enjoyed anything, something bad might happen. Several months later, after another night of little sleep, I glanced in the mirror. I could have passed for the addict: dark circles under hopeless eyes.
I called my friend Linda. Her son, also an addict, had been sentenced to state prison. "You can't imagine all that's going on here," I said.
"Come over for coffee," she urged.
I wanted to stand guard at home but knew she'd listen and understand.
"Hey, girlfriend." Linda hugged me. I didn't touch my coffee as I blurted the saga. Linda didn't sweet-talk. "You need help."
"You haven't heard the whole story," I argued. "I'm fine--my daughter, she needs help."
"You're addicted to worry and control," Linda said. "I've been where you are." She stretched out on the sofa. "The only one you can control is yourself."
The possibility that she might be right terrified me. "It took me years to realize that I'm not in charge. God is," Linda admitted. "By worrying, you're telling God he can't handle things. Go to Al-Anon with me." I'd heard of Al-Anon but didn't see how it applied to me. But I agreed because I was in awe of Linda.
I didn't open my mouth during the meeting. Every word spoken sounded like my own thoughts:
"I worried myself sick about my alcoholic husband."
"My peace comes only when I let go and let God."
Then the speaker said, "To change, you'll have to leave behind some familiar lifelong habits." But how? This is who I am--what I do. "An alcoholic can't drink, and those of us in this room can't allow an ounce of worry. For us, it's every bit as dangerous and addictive. Worry robs our serenity."
I didn't think change was possible. Not for me. But I knew one thing for sure--I was destroying my life. That night at home I got real. "Help me, God. I can't do this without you." I began to ask God for help each morning. I whispered, "Not my job," as worry, fear, or control tried to needle back in.
Two years after that first Al-Anon meeting, Allison and I met for an impromptu lunch. She'd gone back to the same therapist. On her own.
"You can't imagine how easy it is to study when you're not high," she laughed.
"Nope, I guess not." I blinked back happy tears.
"Thanks, Mom."
"For what?"
"When you didn't fix my problems, it scared me. A few times I had to dig change out of the seat of my car for gas money. Some days," she paused, "I didn't have food." My throat felt warm with pride. She'd done it on her own. "I'm making A's. And look," she handed me her checkbook. "I have money again."
Recovery defies logic. It means doing the opposite of what feels natural. When I took care of myself and my addictions, Allison did the same.

Everyone needs a hero. For the mother who told this story it was her friend, Linda. Then she turned to God as her ultimate hero. We all could do with someone to help us work through our troubles. We need a victorious warrior to fight our battles. No one knows that better than God himself.
From Mark Haines' Sermon "Our Mighty God"
Harvie Neatherlin
Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas. She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.
When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.
Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying, "My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you believe about Easter?" Beverly said, "Well, it's all about egg hunts, going to church, and dressing up." Edith kept pressing her about the real meaning of Easter, and finally led her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Phillips said, "Beverly, don't call Edith into the office quite yet. I believe there is another delivery taking place in the waiting room."
After being called back in the doctor's office, Edith sat down and when she took a look at the doctor she said, "Dr. Will, why are you so sad? Are you reading your Bible? Are you praying?" Dr. Phillips said gently, "Edith, I'm the doctor and you're the patient." With a heavy heart he said, "Your lab report came back and it says you have cancer, and Edith, you're not going to live very long." Edith said, "Why Will Phillips, shame on you. Why are you so sad? Do you think God makes mistakes? You have just told me I'm going to see my precious Lord Jesus, my husband, and my friends. You have just told me that I am going to celebrate Easter forever, and here you are having difficulty giving me my ticket!" Dr. Phillips thought to himself, "What a magnificent woman this Edith Burns is!"
Edith continued coming to Dr. Phillips. Christmas came and the office was closed through January 3rd. On the day the office opened, Edith did not show up. Later that afternoon, Edith called Dr. Phillips and said she would have to be moving her story to the hospital and said, "Will, I'm very near home, so would you make sure that they put women in here next to me in my room who need to know about Easter."
Well, they did just that and women began to come in and share that room with Edith. Many women were saved. Everybody on that floor from staff to patients were so excited about Edith, that they started calling her Edith Easter; that is everyone except Phyllis Cross, the head nurse. Phyllis made it plain that she wanted nothing to do with Edith because she was a "religious nut". She had been a nurse in an army hospital. She had seen it all and heard it all. She was the original G.I. Jane. She had been married three times, she was hard, cold, and did everything by the book.
One morning the two nurses who were to attend to Edith were sick. Edith had the flu and Phyllis Cross had to go in and give her a shot. When she walked in, Edith had a big smile on her face and said, "Phyllis, God loves you and I love you, and I have been praying for you." Phyllis Cross said, "Well, you can quit praying for me, it won't work. I'm not interested." Edith said, "Well, I will pray and I have asked God not to let me go home until you come into the family." Phyllis Cross said, "Then you will never die because that will never happen," and curtly walked out of the room.
Every day Phyllis Cross would walk into the room and Edith would say, "God loves you Phyllis and I love you, and I'm praying for you." One day Phyllis Cross said she was literally drawn to Edith's room like a magnet would draw iron. She sat down on the bed and Edith said, "I'm so glad you have come, because God told me that today is your special day." Phyllis Cross said, "Edith, you have asked everybody here the question, 'Do you believe in Easter?' but you have never asked me." Edith said, "Phyllis, I wanted to many times, but God told me to wait until you asked, and now that you have asked..."
Edith Burns took her Bible and shared with Phyllis Cross the Easter Story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Edith said, "Phyllis, do you believe in Easter? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is alive and that He wants to live in your heart?" Phyllis Cross said, "Oh I want to believe that with all of my heart, and I do want Jesus in my life." Right there, Phyllis Cross prayed and invited Jesus Christ into her heart. For the first time Phyllis Cross did not walk out of a hospital room, s...

Soren Kierkegaard, the Danish theologian & philosopher, told this parable, which he called "The Wild Duck of Denmark;
A wild duck was flying northward with his mates across Europe during the springtime. En route, he happened to land in a barnyard in Denmark, where he quickly made friends with the tame ducks that lived there. The wild duck enjoyed the corn and fresh water. He decided to stay for an hour, then for a day, then for a week , and finally, for a month.
At the end of that time, he contemplated flying to join his friends in the vast North land, but he had begun to enjoy the safety of the barnyard, and the tame ducks had made him feel so welcome. So he stayed for the summer.
One autumn day, when his wild mates were flying south, he heard their quacking. It stirred him with delight, and he enthusiastically flapped his wings and rose into the air to join them. Much to his dismay, he found that he could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. As he waddled back to the safety of the barnyard, he muttered to himself, "I'm satisfied here, I have plenty of food, and the area is good. Why should I leave.?" So, he spent the winter on the farm.
In the spring, when the wild ducks flew overhead again, he felt a strange stirring within his breast, but he did not even try to fly up to meet them. When they returned in the fall, they again invited him to rejoin them, but this time, the duck did not even notice them. There was no stirring within his breast. He simply kept on eating corn which made him fat.
POEM: "I Am Just a Raindrop"
The following poem was heard on Paul Harvey's broadcast in 2004:
I am just a raindrop
I was born in the sky and settled into a hillside
there to dance in the sun and sparkle
And nourish green and growing things
But there are other raindrops on the hillside
and they invite me to join them for a downhill romp,
and we become a chain of raindrops.
Thus able to travel faster and what do you know
soon others join us until we become a stream
now remember I'm still just a drop of rain.
And yet the other drops say
I'm important to them and they are important to me
and together we hasten downward toward the beautiful forest.
The grass bends in our path
the soil beneath us begins to crumble
until my companions and I are carving out a pathway
farther and deeper
until we are tearing little gullies in the earth
and then big gullies.
I'm just a little drop of rain
its my friends who have the power
I'm just along for the ride
Ahead a towering tree
stands majestically at the edge of the forest.
And soon my friends and I
are playfully ripping the soil from the roots
and its roots from the rocks
and low and behold the great tree comes crashing down in front of me.
For a long moment the tree lies motionless:
Facedown, defeated, dying.
But then my friends and I are under, and lifting, and moving the great tree
carrying it before us as a huge battering ram.
Nothing can stop us now.
I wonder if I can stop myself now, or, if I even want to.
Into the forest we plunge my friends and I
and our battering ram tree.
Other trees grouped together stand their ground,
from us they can see there is strength in numbers.
And our numbers are greater.
Our battering ram is sideways now.
We raindrops get behind;
we push with all of our might.
My friends and I are learning the strength and the weaknesses of trees.
Erode the soil, denude the roots, and you leave them with nothing to hold to.
So, soon, we are a raging torrent.
And they and we and the turncoat tree are thundering toward the sea.
And I am freighted.
I'm just a little raindrop,
but I'm soiled now.
How did I become a part of this?
I never wanted to conquer, nor to destroy
I only needed to be needed.
I only needed to be one of the crowd.
Down there ahead, at the end of the valley
Dear God that's a town!
I will not be a part of this any longer.
Now my friends have gone too far.
Far too far.
I'm stopping right here right now.
But I can't. I can't stop.
I am no longer me.
I am something different then I ever meant to be.
It took a thousand million gallons of water they say
to drown that town that day.
So don't blame me.
I'm only one little drop of rain.
From Donald Tabberer's Sermon: An Empty Frame
Davon Huss
In his best selling book called, "Into Thin Air," Jon Krakauer relates the hazards that plagued some climbers as they attempted to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Andy Harris, one of the expedition leaders stayed at the peak too long and on his descent, he became in dire need of oxygen. Harris radioed the base camp and told them about his predicament. He mentioned that he had come across a cache of oxygen canisters left by the other climbers but they were all empty. The climbers who already passed the canisters on their own descent knew they were not empty, but full. They pleaded with him on the radio to make use of them but it was to no avail. Harris was starved for oxygen but he continued to argue that the canisters were empty.
The problem was that the lack of what he needed had so disoriented his mind that though he was surrounded by something that would give him life, he continued to complain of its absence. The lack of oxygen had ravaged his capacity to recognize what was right in front of him.
Friends, what oxygen is to the body, the Bread of Life is to the soul. Some of us are suffocating and starving and we don't even know it. Jesus is offering life to us while we run around trying to appease our appetites. We will never be filled until we take of the Bread and Water of life, Jesus Christ.
It was February 1941, Auschwitz, Poland. Maximilian Kolbe
was a Franciscan priest put in the infamous death camp for helping Jews escape Nazi terrorism.
Months went by and in desperation an escape took place. The camp rule was enforced. Ten people would be rounded up randomly and herded into a cell where they would die of starvation and exposure as a lesson against future escape attempts.
Names were called. A Polish Jew Frandishek Gasovnachek was called. He cried, "Wait, I have a wife and children!" Kolbe stepped forward and said, "I will take his place."
Kolbe was marched into the cell with nine others where he managed to live until August 14.
This story was chronicled on an NBC news special several years ago. Gasovnachek, by this time 82, was shown telling this story while tears streamed down his cheeks. A mobile camera followed him around his little white house to a marble monument carefully tended with flowers. The inscription read:
Every day Gaso...

In 2001, Tim Goeglein started running the White House Office of Public Liaison, providing him almost daily access to then President George Bush for seven years. Then it all ended abruptly on February 29, 2008. A well-known blogger revealed the startling fact that 27 out of 39 of Goeglein's published articles had been plagiarized. By mid-afternoon the next day, Goeglein's career in the White House was over.
Goeglein, who admitted his guilt, said that this began "a personal crisis unequaled in my life, bringing great humiliation on my wife and children, my family, and my closest friends, including the President of the United States."
Goeglein was summoned to the White House to face the President. Once inside the Oval Office, Goeglein shut the door, turned to the President and said, "I owe you an..."
President Bush simply said: "Tim, you are forgiven."
Tim was speechless. He tried again: "But sir..."
The President interrupted him again, with a firm "Stop." Then President Bush added, "I have known grace and mercy in my life, and you are forgiven."
After a long talk, a healing process was launched for Goeglein, which included repentance, reflection, and spiritual growth. "Political power can lead to pride," Goeglein later reflected. "That was my sin. One hundred percent pride. But offering and receiving forgiveness is a different kind of strength. That's the kind of strength I want to develop now."
(Warren Cole Smith, "Wins & Losses," World magazine, 10-23-10, p. 11. From a sermon by C. Philip Green, Love and Longing, 5/13/2011)

In Jerusalem there is a Holocaust Museum dedicated to the memory of the millions of Jews who were killed by the Nazis in World War II. It has been said that going through the museum is a very depressing experience because you see these horrible pictures and read the accounts of the ghettos and the concentration camps. But in the midst of all the dark tales of suffering, there is one amazing story of how God can transform horror into hope.
In one of the German concentration camps there was a young lady named Rachel. She endured great hardship from being made to work in the snow with inadequate clothing. She watched in horror as many of her friends and family members were killed.
Then one day, the guards left unexpectedly. She didn't know the war was over. Later that day some American soldiers arrived to set the prisoners free. One young American soldier told Rachel he had come to rescue her and for her to gather her few possessions. Then he held the door for her and said, "After you, ma'am."
Rachel started to cry. He asked, "What's wrong, ma'am?"
She said, "I can't remember the last time someone held a door open for me. It's the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long time." The soldier stayed in touch with Rachel after she was relocated, and they became friends. Later they fell in love and were married.
That's what God can do. He can take the most terrible situation imaginable and make something beautiful out of it. Our God is an awesome God and I'm glad He's in control. Whenever you go through tough times, you can either look for the junk or you can look for the joy. Job looked for the joy and in the end; God rewarded Job's persistence and patience. It says in Job 42:12 that "the Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first."
(From a sermon by Fred Markes, Better Off Dead, 8/30/2011)

In order to transfer data from a transactional ODS object into further data targets, first create update rules from ODS object to the datatarget you want to update. During the update rule creation, select the transactional ODS object as the infosource. For the transactional ODS objects "Update Data in Data Targets" option is not available in the context menu of the ODS object, so you have to manually create infopackage to transfer data.
Go to the infosources tab in the administrator workbench and create infopackage for the system generated export datasource (technical name is 8<technical name of the ODS>). Then you can just execute the infopackage to load data into subsequent data targets, but please keep in mind only full upload is possible (no delta upload) with transactional ODS objects.

The prevalence of diabetes in the United States has nearly doubled in the past two decades, according to a study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The study authors found that this rise in diabetes from 5.5% to 9.3% of the U.S. population over the last 20 years paralleled the growing rate of obesity in America.
Better screening tools such as a hemoglobin A1c diagnostic test have also helped physicians identify more diabetes cases, the researchers say.

A Ballarat man is dead after the cement truck he was driving rolled off a bridge just outside of Meredith this morning.
Police have confirmed the driver of the Boral truck, 53, lost control on Coopers Bridge approximately 7.30 this morning before falling down an embankment and into the river.
Acting Sergeant Michael Watts said there would be an ongoing investigation into the incident to determine the cause.
"The truck has collided with the railing at the side and as a result has plummeted approximately seven metres and the truck landed on the riverbank," he said.
"On arrival at the scene by emergency services, the male was still located in the vehicle and he was pronounced deceased on the scene."
The bridge is only wide enough for one vehicle to cross at a time and the road leading to the bridge is steep and windy.
A local resident described the road as "treacherous" and said it was not the first time an accident had occurred.
Acting Sergeant Watts said there were no witnesses to the accident.
"This time of year is hard for all families when something like this occurs so again if we can just put a word out to be vigilant on our roads this time of year and take care," he said.
The truck was fully loaded with cement at the time of the incident.
"The towing company is here, they will go done and make an assessment," Acting Sergeant Watts said.
"Due to the size and weight of the truck it will be a difficult extraction."
The Environment Protection Agency arrived on the scene just before midday to contain the diesel which had leaked into the river.
A spokesperson from the agency said a boom had been inserted in the water to stop further contamination and representatives from the organisation would remain on the scene until the truck was removed.
There were no passengers in the truck.
A Worksafe representative arrived at the scene in the morning, however, a spokesperson has confirmed the incident is being treated as a road accident rather than workplace incident.
Executive general manager for the southern region Paul Dalton said the driver had been driving the concrete agitator to a customer site.
"We are working with the police, safety and emergency authorities to understand the cause of this tragic accident," he said.
