Benoit Treluyer continued to lead Le Mans after 11 hours but the No. 2 Audi was being caught by a flying Sebastien Bourdais in the No. 9 Peugeot in second position.
Bourdais who found himself separted by two third of a lap at the start of the hour, thanks to the staggered nature of the safety cars, set about hunting down the final remaining Audi, posting some stunning lap times and a couple of fastest overall middle sectors in the process.
By the end of the hour the former Toro Rosso Formula 1 driver had the gap down to 1m45s.
Some 25sec further back was Alex Wurz in the No. 7 Peugeot ahead of Stephane Sarrazin who was also still on the lead lap in the No. 8 908.
Loic Duval remains fifth in the year-old Pug, and the ORECA-run car is still only a lap behind the factory cars. Christophe Tinseau runs sixth in the petrol-powered Pescarolo.
It was all change in LMP2 after long-time leader - the No. 48 ORECA - stopped for a long while with an electrical problem. Alex Premat was at the wheel at the time and dropped to fourth in the process. He climbed back to third by the time he handed over to Dominik Kraihamer.
That became second when Matias Russo crashed the PeCom Lola at the end of the hour at the Esses. While all this was going on Olivier Lombard moved to the front of the class for Greaves Motorsport.
Jan Magnussen took over from Oliver Gavin in the leading No. 74 Corvette in GTE Pro. The car has more than a lap's advantage over Toni Vilander's Ferrari.
Gabriel Gardel moved into the lead of the GTE Am class in the Larbre Corvette but remained locked in a battle with the team Porsche driving by Pascal Gibon.
- Mike Rockenfeller was taken to a hospital following a frightening accident that totally destroyed the No. 1 Audi in the seventh hour of the race. The German had been running third when he made contact with a GTE Ferrari at kink after Mulsanne. Audi confirmed that their driver climbed from the car before medical crews got to him.
- The No. 3 Audi of Allan McNish crashed out of the race in the first hour having just taken second position. The Scot collected the No. 58 Luxury Racing Ferrari in the right-hander after the Dunlop Bridge. The heavy impact destroyed the car and McNish was taken to hospital for precautionary checks, but was later released with an all-clear.
- Both Aston Martin AMR Ones ran into trouble on the first lap of the race. Darren Turner spinning with mechanical trouble and Adrian Fernandez stopping out on the Mulsanne. The No. 007 car of Turner was recovered to the pits where it was discovered an alternator belt tensioner was to blame.

Australian endurance swimmer Chloe McCardel ended her attempt to swim from Cuba to Florida after 11 hours in the water when she was stung by a jellyfish.
It was the fifth failure involving three women swimmers who have tried to make the marathon swim since 2011. Jellyfish stings and strong currents have been the main impediments.
Her support team released a statement saying that McCardel stopped her effort to become the first person to swim across the Straits of Florida nonstop without a shark cage "due to a severe debilitating jellyfish sting."
It said she had been taken on to one of her support vessels and was sailing to Key West. She would need 24 hours to recuperate, it said.
The 28-year-old from Melbourne had hoped to complete the swim in about 60 hours.
Before starting out from Cuba in the morning, a smiling, upbeat McCardel had arrived in a pink 1950s Chevy convertible at a rocky jetty in western Havana
"As confident as I can be. I think it's all going to work out well," she said of her chances. "It'll be tough, though."
McCardel then jumped feet first into the water at 10 a.m. sharp.
Her goal, the Florida Keys, lay a little more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the northeast of Havana.
The sea off Havana was flat and glassy, precisely the ideal conditions that McCardel's science team had forecast.
The strait has been busy the last three summers, with fellow marathon swimmers Diana Nyad and Penny Palfrey making four failed attempts at the crossing between them since 2011.
Australian Susie Maroney successfully made the swim in 1997, although she did it with the benefit of a shark cage.
"It is the hardest swim in the world today," McCardel had said Tuesday at a news conference. "No one has been able to achieve this. It's possibly harder than winning the World Cup or getting a gold medal."
The challenge also outstripped by far, at least in terms of distance, anything she had done before. McCardel, who has twice made a double crossing of the English Channel, said the most time she had spent in the water continuously was 25 hours.
She swam under English Channel Marathon rules, which meant she could not touch her support boat or hold on to anything. Nor was she allowed to wear a full-body wetsuit, which would have helped protect against exposure and jellyfish stings.
McCardel and her team had spent nine and a half months planning the trip and studying others' attempts to try to figure out why those athletes were unable to complete the swim.
The team picked June for the attempt in a bit of a tradeoff: While seas are warmer later in the summer, this month typically sees lower concentrations of box jellyfish, whose dangerous stings have scuttled past attempts.
"The Gulf Stream ... it's like a wild animal," McCardel said.
It was an unlikely dream for a woman who didn't even learn to swim until she was 10 years old.
McCardel, who makes a living doing first-aid training, and her husband took out a second mortgage on their home to finance the $150,000 in costs associated with the swim.
They had made about half of it back through sponsorships, and leaned heavily on volunteers and donations.
At the marina Wednesday morning, McCardel was just about to hop into the water when suddenly she turned around and called out for her husband, Paul.
"I love you," she said, giving him a quick kiss. "Thank you. Bye!"

38 in U.S., Romania charged in phishing schemes
Focus is on two related phishing schemes with ties to organized crime
IDG News Service - WASHINGTON -- Thirty-eight people in the U.S. and Romania have been charged in two federal indictments alleging that they used complicated Internet phishing schemes to steal thousands of credit and debit card numbers, U.S. and Romanian authorities said today.
The indictments, in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and the District of Connecticut, focus on two related phishing schemes with ties to organized crime, the U.S. Department of Justice said. Phishing involves sending e-mail messages that look like official correspondence from banks or credit card vendors in attempts to get recipients to go to fake Web sites and enter their account numbers.
A grand jury in Los Angeles charged 33 people for their alleged participation in a scheme that targeted thousands of individual victims and hundreds of financial institutions. The 65-count indictment was unsealed today. Seven people were charged in a Connecticut indictment for their roles in an Internet phishing scheme, including two who were charged in the Los Angeles case.
U.S. authorities were acting on nine arrest warrants in the Los Angeles area and Romanian authorities were acting on search warrants in that country in connection with the racketeering indictments.
Among the charges in the Los Angeles indictments are conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, conspiracy in connection with access devices, unauthorized access to a protected computer, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The RICO conspiracy charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, bank fraud has a maximum sentence of 30 years, and device-fraud conspiracy has a maximum sentence of seven and a half years. The unauthorized access count carries a maximum prison sentence of five years, and aggravated identify theft carries a mandatory two-year prison sentence.
The Romanian members of the organization obtained thousands of credit and debit card account numbers and other personal information through phishing, according to the indictment. The group sent more than 1.3 million spam e-mail messages in one phishing attack, the Justice Department said.
The Romanians collected the victims' information and sent the data to cashiers in the U.S. through Internet chat messages, the DOJ said. The U.S. cashiers used hardware called encoders to record the fraudulently obtained information onto the magnetic strips on the back of credit and debit cards. Cashiers then directed other criminals called runners to test the fraudulent cards by checking balances or withdrawing small amounts of money from automated teller machines.
The cards that were successfully tested were used to withdraw money from ATMs or point-of-sale terminals with the highest withdrawal limits, the DOJ said. Part of the money was then wire-transferred to the supplier in Romania.
Seuong Wook Lee, a cashier in the scheme, pleaded guilty on May 15 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles to racketeering conspiracy, bank fraud, access-device fraud and unauthorized access of a protected computer, the DOJ said.
In the related Connecticut case, seven Romanian residents were charged in an indictment returned by a grand jury in New Haven on Jan. 18 and unsealed Friday. The indictment alleges that the defendants used a phishing scheme to commit fraud in connection with access devices, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The Connecticut investigation came from a state resident's complaint about a fraudulent e-mail message made to appear as if it originated from Connecticut-based People's Bank. The e-mail message directed victims to a computer in Minnesota that had been compromised and used to host a counterfeit People's Bank Web site.
Investigators found that the defendants had targeted several banks and other companies, including Citibank, Capital One and PayPal.
On April 23, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey announced a strategy to combat international organized crime.
"Criminals who exploit the power and convenience of the Internet do not recognize national borders; therefore our efforts to prevent their attacks cannot end at our borders either," Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip said in a statement. "Through cooperation with our international partners, we can disrupt and dismantle these enterprises, just as we have done today with these indictments and arrests."

A scene of a highway, with a man, van, lorry and windmill. Pretty simple, but nice. It's looped.
If you think you have some music that would go with this, then email me and i will put it on if it's good.

I know that the subjects are never showed just randomly, I like that minimal works that leave the interpretation free but my 5 stars are set as entrusting vote: try something more remaining in this style.

All I can say is wow...
Wow...because you actually submitted this.
It is true you have animation skills but c'mon atleast put them to good use.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars August 31, 2004
Needs work
To be completely honest, I am pretty surprised that something this low of quality blammed.
I mean, like... you've got the animating skills, I liked the backdrop and all.
The man which was walking looked very realistic.
Unfortunately, that's all there was!
There was no story, sounds, violence, humour, ANYTHING!
It's just an animation loop... it should be put into an actual flash, put into more use there... this is just boring repetitive crap.
Rated 2 / 5 stars August 13, 2004
No offence, but what I don't get, is how this survived. Is there any point? Is there any at all? It was pretty, sure, and smooth graphics. Lack of music, well, I had Dead Love playing at the same time, so that was a bit better, but really. Could you explain any form of a plot to me?

X Factor hopeful "gutted" to be kicked off show
The X Factor hopeful from Ruskington who was booted out of last night's show has said he was gutted and disappointed with judge Gary Barlow.
After Hugh Maynard and his group Tenors of Rock secured their place to go through to the next round they were then told to leave when Gary decided to replace them with a girl-band who had been put together earlier on the show.
Hugh said: "We are gutted. We really liked and respected Gary and we thought he would back us all the way so it was really disappointing to have to leave.
"It's all quite contrived and it's clearly not about the vocals. The band he replaced us with didn't even have a name. I think he was told by producers to put them through."

Hugh said that off-camera Gary had continually praised his band and told them that they were fresh and different.
He added: "We thought he had our backs – it hurt. We didn't even get to speak to him after the show. We were sent to stay in a different hotel so we couldn't talk to the other contestants."
Despite losing their place on the show Tenors of Rock have today released a single and will continue to work together.
They have a gig coming up in Aberystwyth in November and hope to do a tour in Germany next year.

Ascension Insurance buys Falcone Williams Insurance
- Staff Kansas City Business Journal
Ascension Insurance Inc. has acquired Falcone Williams Insurance — Ascension's sixth acquisition since 2010.
Kansas City-based Ascension expects Falcone Williams LLC — a full-service agency based in Huntersville, N.C. — to help expand personal and business lines of insurance, the company said in a Tuesday release.
Ascension has been on an acquisition binge the past few years. Before the Falcone Williams acquisition, the company had more than 35 locations nationwide and 440 employees. Ascension expected revenue of about $75 million in 2011. CEO Leonard Kline hopes to reach $200 million within about four years.
Ascension already has 65 employees in four North Carolina offices: Charlotte, Shelby, Greensboro and Raleigh.
"These strategic acquisitions represent a unique opportunity for us to provide highly sophisticated expertise, markets and resources to individuals and businesses throughout the Southeast," Kline said in the release. "We are committed to expanding our presence here and welcome Falcone Williams' customers to our company."

IP reports and publications, Phase-II (2002-2004)HIV/AIDS Resource Guide for Extension WorkersThe HIV/AIDS Resource Guide for Extension Workers was launched in Uganda on 18 August 2004. The guide has been developed in collaboration between the IP and the National Agricultural Advisory Services in Uganda (NAADS). The guide is meant as a tool for extension workers to better understand what impacts the HIV/AIDS epidemic has on the agricultural sector and rural livelihoods. Most importantly the Guide aims at increasing the uptake of appropriate responses to the epidemic by the agricultural sector as a whole, community extension workers, and the rural households involved in farming, fishing and livestock.
The impact of HIV/AIDS on rural livelihoods in Northern Province, Zambia (2004)FAO, in close collaboration with Development Cooperation Ireland (DCI) and the Government of Zambia, has recently completed a household livelihood research among 740 households in the Northern Province of Zambia. The research aimed at gaining a better understanding of the dynamics in assets and livelihood strategies that are induced by the presence of HIV/AIDS and at identifying appropriate livelihood interventions for HIV/AIDS affected and vulnerable households.
Impacts of HIV/AIDS on agricultural production, food security and rural livelihoods in Namibia, Uganda and Zambia (4 reports published in 2003)The relationships between HIV/AIDS, gender, food security and rural livelihoods, have been explored in detail by the IP in Namibia, Zambia and Uganda. The findings in the reports below show that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is slowly eroding food security, damaging rural livelihoods, exacerbating poverty and increasing gender inequalities. The reports further identify existing and potential coping strategies for mitigating the impacts, and recommends ways of adopting and supporting the most effective of these.
HIV/AIDS and agriculture: impact and responses - Summary report and Executive summaryThis report summarizes the research through three case studies from Uganda, Zambia and Namibia. In addition to illustrating how different aspects of the epidemic impact rural livelihoods, the report also looks at the implications of the epidemic on the policy environment.
UGANDA: The survey represents three different rural livelihood systems - mixed agriculture, fisheries and pastoral in the Lake Victoria Crescent agro-ecological zone. Executive summary.

Hello everybody, please help me solve this puzzle
By Paul Morphy, 1856.
White to play and mate in two moves.
Morphy was 10 years old when he invented this puzzle, his only known composition. The position is simple but cunning. The text reads "White to play and mate in two moves." and indeed White can, but only if you discover Morphy's surprise move--a move that will delight aficionados and beginners alike.
Hadn't seen this before but just worked it out. A beauty indeed.
AHA!!!! (took me about 3 minutes :D) 1. Ra6 bxd6 2. b7++
1. Ra6 b7xRa6
2. b7++
Thanks. Fun.
easy one but tricky !
Thank you powernow and bomtrown, but is it obligatory that black play b7xRa6?
I am just a beginner and want to improve.
I am just a beginner and wants to improve.
His only other choice is to move the bishop, in which case Rxa7#
Whether black takes the rook or moves the bishop, it will be mate on the second move by pawn or rook.
all tey have said is correct, however, supposing you were playing as black, in that position you would probably say "well", it sure will look alot nicer if he doesn't have that rook" :D
but no matter where the bishop goes, it'll be mate.
I got it now, thank you very nuch powernow
Took me less than a minute and I'm a beginner. Sacrifice the rook, move the pawn, done.
Excellent! I made Paul Morphy my new mentor, and not because of this puzzle.
Possible. More likely as black: "I'm not going to let him brilliantly sacrifice that rook and force a mate." 1. Ra6 ... 1-0
Paul Morphy is my idol. So, i know what Morphy think for this solve. 1) Ra6 bxa6 2) b7# OR 1) Ra6 Bc7 2) Ra7#

Missing boy, 17, found dead in Dubai Creek
Police confirmed that Ammar Ateeuddin, 17-year-old Pakistani boy who went missing on Monday, was found dead of apparent drowning in Dubai Creek on Wednesday morning
- By Shafaat Shahbandari and Dina Aboul Hosn, Staff Reporters

- Ammar Atiuddin
A source at Dubai Police said the boy's body had been taken to the Forensic Evidence Department where a post mortum will be carried out to determine cause and time of death. The body was found at 7am on Wednesday.
Ateeuddin's mother said they were taken to the Dubai Police headquarters and then to Ports Police Station to identify the body, where they did.
They identified the clothes he was wearing the day of his disappearance but his facial features were slightly distorted due to decay.
Ateeuddin had gone out on an errand at 11.30am on Monday in the Gold Souq area where he lives with his family and never returned, the boy's father, Ateeuddin Moinuddeen, who is co-owner of a diamond trading firm in Dubai, earlier said.
According to Moinuddeen, Ammar, who was a grade nine student in Pakistan, came to Dubai to visit on April 27 with his mother and younger brother.

Today's Bike Commute Challenge Photo of the Day comes from Living Room Realty, "a group of professional, experienced, licensed real estate agents who specialize in representing buyers and sellers in Portland's inner urban neighborhoods." Living Room Realty has done a tremendous job documenting their office's experiences with the Bike Commute Challenge; they've wrote extensively on their blog about their participation, but they are having trouble finding a suitable challenger willing to bet a pizza party on their Bike Commute Challenge performance.
As Sarah McBee, Agent Services Manager at Living Room Realty, writes:
We're Throwing Down the Gauntlet! For four years running (spinning), Living Room Realty has been searching for another real estate agency to challenge in the BTA's Bike Commute Challenge. For four years, no one has taken us up on this challenge. This year we're sweetening the pot! If you take our challenge and win, we'll bring the beer and pizza. If we win, you'll bring the beer and pizza. You don't need any fancy gear — just a bike, a helmet, and heart!
C'mon, this is no fun alone! If Nike and Intel can do it, so can real estate agencies. Year after year we prove, we're 100% committed to building stronger communities. We keep proving that we truly advocate for smart growth and vibrant neighborhoods. Prove to us and Portland that you're doing the same! Get out of your cars and onto your bikes. We dare you!
We here at the Bicycle Transportation Alliance are eager to see someone step forward and challenge Living Room Realty to close out the month of September for the Bike Commute Challenge. Just know that it won't be an easy feat to win that pizza party; Living Room Realty's BCC team has already registered 234 miles; their team is led by Living Room Realty's Captain Daniel Fleischer, who has logged 136 of those miles on his own. Their team is well on their way to surpassing their record of 300 miles set during last year's Challenge.
If you'd like to Issue a Challenge to Living Room Realty (or any other of the 1100 teams in our database!), head over to the Team Profile Page of the team you'd like to face off against and click the "Issue Challenge" page at the top of the screen. You can face off against individuals, teams, and organizations, or, as Team Captain, you can add your team to one of the many Bike Commute Challenge leagues.
Thanks for the photos, Living Room Realty! It's great to see so many new innovative business models spin off of Oregonians' love of bicycling; we're looking forward to seeing you finish off the month strong. Here's to hoping you can find a worthy competitor in your efforts to #bikemore this September. And if you have a great story about betting pizza, trophies or other bragging rights, please send them in; we would love to feature you on our Photo of the Day series.
Happy riding!

Tips from Other Journals
Hospitalization Admission Criteria for CHF
Am Fam Physician. 2000 Mar 1;61(5):1464-1466.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a serious condition associated with high hospitalization and mortality rates. Guidelines published in 1994 by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), now the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), specify admission criteria for patients presenting with CHF. Although these guidelines were developed by a consensus of experts using recommendations of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, there has been no clinical trial of their validity. Graff and associates quantified patient risk as related to the presence or absence of AHCPR CHF hospitalization admission criteria.
Using a quality improvement initiative organized through the Connecticut Peer Review Organization, 12 acute-care hospitals reviewed medical records of patients admitted from the emergency department with the diagnosis of CHF who were discharged after January 1, 1995. Charts were abstracted for 192 variables useful in predicting patient risk of death. Patients were excluded if they had a primary diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction or some other acute medical condition contributing to CHF, such as thyrotoxicosis, cardiac tamponade or significant valvular disease. Patients had to have clear clinical evidence of heart failure and one or more physical or radiologic signs confirming the diagnosis. For a listing of the AHCPR hospital admission criteria, see the accompanying table. Two of these criteria (e.g., inadequate social support or failure of outpatient management) could not be considered because the hospital medical records did not identify whether these criteria were present. Mortality rates were considered the primary outcome measure and were noted at 30 days, six months and one year.
Management of Patients with Congestive Heart Failure—AHCPR* Guideline
Management of Patients with Congestive Heart Failure—AHCPR* Guideline
A patient with congestive heart failure should be admitted to the hospital if any of the following criteria are present: | |
1. Respiratory distress (respiratory rate > 40 breaths per minute) or pulmonary edema (determined by radiograph) | |
2. Hypoxia (oxygen saturation < 90%) | |
3. Anasarca or significant edema (≥+2) | |
4. Syncope or hypotension (systolic blood pressure ≤80 mm Hg) | |
5. Congestive heart failure of recent onset (no past history of congestive heart failure) | |
6. Evidence of ischemia (chest pain symptoms) | |
7. Inadequate social support for outpatient management | |
8. Failure of outpatient management | |
9. Concomitant acute medical illness |
*—Now the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
Reprinted with permission from Graff L, Orledge J, Radford MJ, Wang Y, Petrillo M, Maag R. Correlation of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research congestive heart failure admission guideline with mortality: Peer Review Organization Voluntary Hospital Association Initiative to Decrease Events (PROVIDE) for congestive heart failure. Ann Emerg Med 1999;34:429–37.
A total of 1,674 patients with CHF was enrolled in the study. Pulmonary edema and respiratory distress were the most common admission criteria, followed by clinical evidence of ischemia and CHF of recent onset. Eighty percent (1,340) of the patients with CHF were admitted, and 20 percent (334) were released from the emergency department. Patients in the latter group had lower mortality rates at all three end points. Patient survival was correlated with individual AHCPR criteria, with four criteria correlating with a higher mortality rate: (1) pulmonary edema, (2) hypoxia, (3) syncope and (4) significant edema. Two of the criteria, ischemic symptoms and recent-onset of CHF, did not correlate with poorer patient outcomes.
The 80 percent hospitalization rate associated with use of these criteria represents a high use of resources. A correlation was found between physician judgment and the AHCPR admission criteria; therefore, when used together, these two criteria systems can improve sensitivity and specificity while lowering the hospitalization rate.
The authors conclude that selected AHCPR CHF admission criteria correlate with increased risk. These criteria, combined with the physician's clinical judgment, may help in risk stratification of patients with CHF. Patients identified by the criteria as low risk who are now cared for in the acute setting may be candidates for outpatient management, given the advent of more intensive out-patient care programs.

It has been a while since my last update and I'm still working on trip reports from Washington DC, Seoul in Korea, Bali in Indonesia and Courmayeur in Italy – but at the moment I have finished a trip report from my home country Norway. My wife Nikki and I have been on two trips to the beautiful Hardanger region in west Norway and here is the trip report http://gardkarlsen.com/Trolltunga_Norway_trip_report.htm . You can find more photos from the trips on http://gardkarlsen.com/Hardanger_Norway_photos.htm .
This is not the place you go if you want an urban getaway but it is a great place to go if you like beautiful landscapes, breathtaking fjords, high mountains and roaring waterfalls! Our main goal on this trip was to trek/climb to the amazing Trolltunga – you get quite a view from this place as you can see from this photo: http://gardkarlsen.com/Hardanger/Nikki_Gard_Trolltunga_jump.JPG
Get in touch if you have any questions or comments and happy travels to you all in the future.

Thank you for this wonderful report with photos. Neither of ypu appear to have a fear of heights! We loved our visit to Norway and I am enjoying your experiences.

Fantastic report! We were planning on doing Trolltunga a couple of weeks ago but ran out of available days. Reading your report is a more than acceptable replacement.
Report Abuse
Loved reading your trip report. We were in Voss in April 2011 and did the Flåm railway and the ship across Sognefjorden. We too stayed at The Fleischer. It was pretty much the only game in town. Our room had Twin beds across the room from each other with a table in between so it was even less desirable than yours. No couch either! I booked the least expensive room, knowing we would only be there 2 nights.
We had dinner at the hotel as it was just before Easter and no place else was open. We had to wait for a table even though there was clearly space. We did like the breakfasts though. To us, all you can eat house cured lox made me beyond giddy!
Thanks for bringing back many memories. We were so taken with Norway and realized we spent far to little time there, we are headed back next March. We will fly into CPH and take the ferry to Bergen to start our journey. I may have question for you..... Likely a lot! Thanks. -

Hi. Thanks for the kind feedback No, you can't have fear of heights when doing the via ferrata to Trolltunga. Check out the videos at the bottom of the photo page and it will give you an idea of the climb
Get in touch on e-mail DebitNM if you have any questions. Have you been to Stavanger to see Preikestolen and Kjerag?

We have not been to Stavanger; I see the the ferry stops there - perhaps a few days in the area is warranted. I will be in touch, thanks for the kind offer.
