Tough times ahead in the Eurozone?
16 12 2011The European Union Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) gains new force, effective Tuesday 13th December 2011. Proposed by the European Commission and approved by all 27 member states and the European parliament last October, this legislation grants the EU council the power to impose financial sanctions upon a member state on the basis of a Commission recommendation. Currently, member states enter "Excessive Deficit Procedure" (EDP) if they fail to keep budgetary deficits below 3% of GDP and government debt below 60% of GDP. Of the 27 member states, 23 (including the UK) are currently subject to EDP and must comply with correctional recommendations and deadlines decided by the EU council. Member states failing to comply with the recommended corrective action may be subject to in-depth reviews (the results of which will be made public) carried out by the EU Commission in collaboration with the European Central Bank.
Report Criteria (according to www.europa.eu)
· 3 year backward moving average of the current account balance as a percent of GDP, with a threshold of +6% of GDP and -4% of GDP
· Net international investment position as a percent of GDP, with a threshold of -35% of GDP
· 5 years percentage of change of export market shares measured in values, with a threshold of -6%
· 3 years percentage change in nominal unit labour cost, with thresholds of +9% for euro-area countries and +12% for non-euro-area countries
· 3 years percentage change of the real effective exchange rates based on HICP/CPI deflators, relative to 35 other industrial countries, with thresholds of -/+5% for euro-area countries and -/+11% for non-euro-area countries
· Private sector debt in % of GDP with a threshold of 160%
· Private sector credit flow in % of GDP with a threshold of 15%
· 3 years percentage change in nominal unit labour cost, with thresholds of +9% for euro-area countries and +12% for non-euro-area countries
· Year-on-year changes in house prices relative to a Eurostat consumption deflator, with a threshold of 6%
· General government sector debt in % of GDP with a threshold of 60%
· 3-year backward moving average of unemployment rate, with a threshold of 10%
This legislation comes into effect only two days after British Prime Minister David Cameron's veto of the latest EU treaty proposals, which include a cap of 0.5% of GDP on countries' annual structural deficits, "automatic consequences" for countries whose public deficit exceeds 3% of GDP, and a requirement of member states to submit their national budgets to the European Commission, which will have the power to request that they be revised.

Indianapolis International Airport (IATA: IND, ICAO: KIND, FAA LID: IND) is a public airport seven miles (11 km) southwest of downtown Indianapolis, in Marion County, Indiana, United States.[1] It is owned and operated by the Indianapolis Airport Authority. The airport is the largest in Indiana, occupying about 7,700 acres (3,116 ha) in Wayne and Decatur Townships of Marion County, all within the city of Indianapolis. It is near interstate highways I-65, I-69, I-70, and I-74, all of which connect to the city's I-465 beltway. The passenger terminal was the first designed and built in the United States since the terror attacks on September 11, 2001.[2]
FedEx Express opened their Indianapolis hub in 1988.[3] Three expansions since opening have made IND home to the second largest hub in the world for FedEx behind only the world hub at Memphis International Airport. IND is the eighth largest cargo center in the U.S., the 22nd busiest airport in the world by cargo traffic. More than 2.2 billion pounds (1.0 billion kg) of cargo were managed at IND in 2010.
Indianapolis Municipal Airport opened in 1931; in 1944 it was renamed Weir-Cook Municipal Airport, after Col. Harvey Weir-Cook of Wilkinson, Indiana, who was a US Army Air Forces pilot in World War I and World War II, where he was killed flying a P-39 over New Caledonia. He became a flying ace during WWI, with seven victories. Since 1962 it has been owned and operated by the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA), an eight-member board with members appointed by the Mayor of Indianapolis and other officials from Marion, Hendricks and Hamilton counties in central Indiana. The present name was bestowed by the IAA in 1976. In summer of 2008 the IAA's board approved a resolution retaining the current airport name but designating the new main passenger facility as the Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal. The new entrance road was given the name of Col. H. Weir Cook Memorial Drive.[4]
From 1957 to 2008 the passenger terminal was on the east side of the airfield off High School Road. This now-closed facility was renovated and expanded many times, notably in 1968 (Concourses A & B), 1972 (Concourse D), and 1987 (Concourse C and the attached Parking Garage). This complex, along with the International Arrivals Terminal (opened in 1976) on the north side of the airfield (off Pierson Drive), was replaced by the Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal on November 12, 2008. The Indianapolis Airport Authority maintains some offices in the old structure, but most of the old terminal is expected to eventually be demolished.
The April 1957 OAG shows 82 weekday departures: 24 Eastern, 22 TWA, 15 Delta, 11 American, 9 Lake Central and one Ozark. Eastern had a nonstop to Atlanta and one to Birmingham and TWA had two to La Guardia; no other nonstops reached beyond Chicago, St Louis, Memphis, Louisville and Pittsburgh.[citation needed]
During the late 1980s and early 1990s USAir (now US Airways) had a secondary hub in Indianapolis with non-stop jets to the west coast, east coast, and Florida and turbo-prop flights to cities around the Midwest. With a peak of 146 daily departures USAir was the dominant carrier, with 49% of all seats. USAir ended the hub in the late 1990s.[citation needed]
In the late 1990s and early 2000s Indianapolis was a hub for then locally based ATA Airlines and its regional affiliate, Chicago Express/ATA Connection. After that airline entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in late 2004 operations at IND were cut, then eliminated in 2006.[citation needed]
ATA's demise gave Northwest Airlines an opportunity to expand its operations at the airport. This expansion made Indianapolis a focus city for Northwest, which became a separately-operated subsidiary of Delta Air Lines in late 2008.
In 1994 BAA was awarded a 10-year contract to manage the Indianapolis International Airport. The contract was extended three years but was later cut a year short at the request of the BAA. Private management ended on December 31, 2007 and control reverted to IAA.[5][6]
In the same year (1994) United Airlines finished building Indianapolis Maintenance Center,[7] at a cost of $USD 600 million.[8] United later moved their maintenance operations to its sole maintenance hub located at San Francisco International Airport.
In 2009 Republic Airways announced they would retain their maintenance hub and HQ in Indianapolis even though they acquired the much larger Frontier Airlines in Denver.[citation needed]
Colonel H. Weir Cook Terminal[edit]
A new 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) midfield passenger terminal opened between Indianapolis International Airport's two parallel runways, southwest of the previous terminal and the crosswind runway in 2008. A new FAA Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) building, 3rd tallest in the United States, opened in April 2006, the first component of the long-planned midfield complex. The Weir Cook Terminal itself opened for arriving flights on the evening of November 11, 2008 and for departures the following morning. HOK was its master designer, with AeroDesign Group (a joint venture among CSO Architects, SchenkelShultz Architecture and ARCHonsortium) serving as architect of record. Aviation Capital Management (Indianapolis), a subsidiary of BSA LifeStructures, is the airport's program manager. Hunt/Smoot Midfield Builders, a joint venture of Hunt Construction Group and Smoot Construction was the construction manager.[2] Thornton Tomasetti was the terminal's structural engineer along with Fink, Roberts and Petrie.[9] Syska Hennessy was the mechanical, electrical, & plumbing engineer.[9]
The new terminal, named in honor of Col. Harvey Weir-Cook, has room for 44 domestic gates and 2 international gates (which can function as domestic gates).[citation needed] Not all gate positions were used upon opening of the facility, to allow for future expansion by the airlines. The two gate concourse structures were built to allow for future expansion on their southwestern ends (which is why gates A1-A2 and B1-B2 do not yet exist).
For the first time at Indianapolis, international arrivals can be processed through customs in the main passenger terminal. Passengers arriving at gates A4 and A5 go to the U.S. Customs and Federal Inspection Station on the arrivals level via a dedicated and secured stairway, escalator, or elevator.[citation needed] After clearing customs, they exit into the south end of the main terminal's domestic baggage claim area.
The A concourse has a Delta Sky Club, the first airline lounge at Indianapolis International Airport since US Air closed their lounge after the closure of their hub. The opening date was November 15, 2010.[citation needed]
Eight rental car operations and the Ground Transportation Center (where information about limousine, shuttle bus, hotel courtesy vehicles and other transportation services such as IndyGo bus service can be obtained) are located on the first floor of the attached parking garage. All pick-ups and drop-offs of rental vehicles also occur here, eliminating the need for shuttling customers to and from individual companies' remote processing facilities. The five-floor parking garage covers 11 acres (4.5 ha) on each of its levels. It features a light-filled center atrium complete with a piece of suspended artwork and contains moving sidewalks to speed pedestrians into and out of the terminal building itself.[10]
The airport's master plan calls for a fourth (third parallel) runway to be built southeast of I-70 sometime in the future.[citation needed] Between 2002 and 2004 the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) rebuilt a portion of this Interstate highway running through the south end of the airport's property. The realigned freeway allows a future taxiway bridge to the proposed fourth runway to cross overhead, and has a new traffic interchange for the midfield terminal complex. This I-70 exit (#68) is now the airport's main entrance, replacing the entrance at Sam Jones (née Airport) Expressway[11] and High School Road. Provision has been made for future Light Rail Transit (LRT) access to the Weir Cook terminal complex.[1]

The Indianapolis International Airport is owned and operated by the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) which was created in 1962.[citation needed] The IAA also operates five other airports in the area, including the Downtown Heliport, Eagle Creek Airpark, Hendricks County Airport–Gordon Graham Field, Metropolitan Airport, and Indianapolis Regional Airport.[citation needed] The main members of the IAA board are Michael B. Stayton who is the President, Lacy M. Johnson the vice president, and Alfred R. Bennett the Secretary. Robert Duncan is the Executive Director of Indianapolis International.[citation needed]
On September 9, 1969 Allegheny Airlines Flight 853 on a Boston - Baltimore - Cincinnati - Indianapolis - St. Louis route, collided in midair with a Piper Cherokee during its descent over Fairland, Indiana in Shelby County. The McDonnell Douglas DC-9-31 crashed into a cornfield near London, Indiana, killing the 78 passengers and 4 crew members on board. The student pilot who was flying the Cherokee was also killed.
On October 20, 1987 a United States Air Force A-7D Corsair II crashed into a Ramada Inn near the airport after the pilot was forced to eject due to an engine malfunction. Ten people were killed, nine of them hotel employees.[12]
On October 31, 1994, American Eagle Flight 4184, which was flying from Indianapolis to Chicago, Illinois's O'Hare International Airport, crashed into a soybean field near the northwestern Indiana town of Roselawn, killing all 68 on board.

Cargo airlines[edit]
Based aircraft[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2013) |
The Airport has 61 based aircraft. Of these 61, eleven of them are single engine aircraft, 18 of them are multi engine aircraft, and 32 are jets.[citation needed] The airport also has three helicopters and one military aircraft based on site.[citation needed] These numbers have been decreasing significantly since 2005. In 2005, the Airport had roughly 81 based aircraft and because of encouragement by other more "general aviation friendly" airports in the area, aircraft have been moving out of Indianapolis International.[citation needed]
Public transportation[edit]
GO Express Travel operates the Green Line Downtown/Airport Express daily from 8am to 11pm with shuttle service picking up passengers every 30 minutes. The express service costs $10 per passenger one-way.[19] The boarding/debarking point for this service at the airport is located at the northwest end of the Ground Transportation Center, which is found on level 1 of the parking garage. The terminal was built with a Light Rail System in mind that in the future could serve this airport. IndyGo's Route 8 also connects the airport with downtown Indianapolis. Unlike the Green Line Express, Route 8 bus is a slower and cheaper bus route that makes frequent stops along Washington Street. The fare for Route 8 is currently $1.75 for single ride, same as other IndyGo buses.[citation needed]
Lafayette Limo, Bloomington Shuttle Service and Star of America, operate regular (every two hours) shuttle service between Indianapolis International Airport and several cities in central Indiana, namely Bloomington, Muncie, Anderson, and Lafayette.[20][21][22]
During the annual running of the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 auto races, the Indianapolis Airport serves as one of several staging points around the Indianapolis area for shuttle buses that transport race fans to and from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.[citation needed]

You can hide your lying eyes after all.
A three-part study by U.K. and Canadian researchers finds no support for the popular notion that your eyes dart up and to the right when you tell a lie.
Truth-tellers' eyes are supposed to dart up and to the left. But there's no support for that urban legend, either, find University of Edinburgh psychologist Caroline Watt, PhD, and colleagues.
"A large percentage of the public believes that certain eye movements are a sign of lying, and this idea is even taught in organizational training courses," Watt notes. "Our research provides no support for the idea and so suggests that it is time to abandon this approach to detecting deceit."
Watt and colleagues did three studies. In the first, 32 people (mostly college students) were individually told to hide a cell phone in a certain office and to return to the briefing room. Half were told to lie and half were told to tell the truth about what they did. They were then videotaped during a brief interview, after which they did a second taped interview in which the liars told the truth and the truth-tellers lied.
The videos, minus sound, were viewed both in real time and in slow motion by raters who did not know whether the subjects were supposed to tell the truth or not. They specifically counted glances (short eye movements) and gazes (longer eye movements) up and to the left or right for each interview.
The results: No significant differences in eye movement between liars and truth-tellers.
But wait. Maybe lying eyes can't be detected just by counting glances and gazes. Maybe it takes a trained person who's on the lookout for subtle eye motions.
So in a second study, the researchers trained 50 people to look for patterns of eye movement. Then they showed them the videotapes from the first experiment and asked them to detect the liars.
That didn't work for lie detection, either. As far as these trained people could tell, the eyes didn't have it.
Maybe, though, the stakes weren't high enough for the liars. What did it matter to them if they were caught? Maybe the eyes only show important lies.
So the researchers assembled a collection of real-life videos in which people filmed appeals to find missing relatives. For half of the videos there was clear evidence the person had lied -- evidence such as possession of the murder weapon, security camera footage, or the person leading police to the body.
Using the same methods as in the first study, eye movements were closely counted and analyzed. And once again, eye movements did not differ between liars and truth-tellers.
"This is in line with findings from a considerable amount of previous work showing that facial clues (including eye movements) are poor indicators of deception," Watt and colleagues note. "The results provide considerable grounds to be skeptical of the notion that the proposed patterns of eye movements provide a reliable indicator of lying."
The Watt study appears in the online journal PLoS ONE.

Gov. Hickenlooper to sign bill making Goodwill a Checkoff Colorado charity
On Wednesday, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper will sign House Bill 11-1097, making Goodwill one of just 15 non-profits Coloradans can choose to donate to on their state income tax return. Checkoff Colorado is a program that allows taxpayers to make voluntary contributions to their favorite charitable organizations when they file their state income tax return.
During this time of economic need, allowing Coloradans to support Goodwill's workforce development programs by making a voluntary contribution on their state income tax returns will have tremendous return and economic benefit across the state.

By Darrell Delamaide
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The good news is that it doesn't look like there will be a "grand bargain" on taxes before the end of the year.
In his press conference Wednesday, President Barack Obama suggested that Democrats and Republicans agree to extend tax cuts for the middle class in time for Christmas shopping and tackle other issues in the new year.
That leads us to the bad news: The newly re-elected president still wants "comprehensive" tax reform. He wants a "big deal" on taxes and is "open to new ideas."
There aren't really too many new ideas out there, and to the extent it means big changes to individual income tax, comprehensive tax reform is a bad idea. There's nothing substantially wrong with our tax system except that the rates are too low to be sustainable.
As it stands now, our system of individual income tax is very progressive. Repeated OECD studies have shown it is one of the most progressive among industrial economies. See the OECD data.
Any effort to overhaul it is almost certain to make it more regressive — that is, increasing the tax burden for middle and lower incomes while easing it for high earners.
For instance, the proposal to cap deductions — the flavor of the week in Washington — is a particularly bad old idea.
For one thing, even though it's claimed that this will affect high earners more, it clearly won't hit them as hard as just raising the tax rates back to where they were under President Clinton, or the Republicans wouldn't be pushing it.
• Five takeaways from the jobs report
Why Fed may still hesitate to pull the taper trigger
The Federal Reserve is likely to hold off a taper in December, using the meeting to prepare the markets for a move early next year.
• U.S. gains 203,000 jobs in November
• Third-quarter growth fastest since early 2012
• Corporate profits at new record as share of GDP
It was a key piece of the tax proposals championed by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who, you will recall, lost the election.
Capping deductions will make it very difficult ever to raise rates again. The deductions are the way we ease the tax burden on the middle class. It is the way we use tax policy to encourage economic behavior.
It seems counter-intuitive to cap mortgage deductions and dampen home purchases just when we need a revival of the housing market to buoy the economy. Any form of cap on deductions is likely to bankrupt many charities.
No voter has asked for a cap on deductions or comprehensive tax reform. To the extent that substantial tinkering with our current system was proposed, it was rejected.
And yet, Obama seems willing to entertain this kind of proposal and some of those "centrist" Democrats, like Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota — you know, he who stalled and needlessly complicated the health-care reform — think it might be a good "bipartisan" solution.
In this political climate — and there is no evidence that the election has changed it — bipartisan usually means Democrats caving in to Republicans.

God Defamer
Since 1988, Slovakia's Dementor have been smashing musical brains like rotting melons. Their style could easily be summarized as a hybrid of more eastern European and Floridian death metal. Now, I'm unfamiliar with the work of this band in the past, but as I hear it today, I think of Vader crossed with a few of the bigger Floridian acts.
With a nonstop barrage of blast-beats and the random assault of Azagthothian soloing, Dementor certainly have their work cut out for them in the unrelenting brutal death metal scene. In addition to the dark and squealing riffing and continual drum battery, the low and beastly vocals are the bloody icing on the satanic cake, making God Defamer a force to be reckoned with amongst the masochistic fans of bands like Krisiun. Although also suffering from the "holy-fuck-i-must-play-as-fast-as-possible" bug, Dementor flaunt a little more creativity in their composition, favoring simple and tight riffing that works in making them seem primitive, but not musically retarded.
The name of the game here is vocals, guitar, and drums; each one playing an equal part in the mix and each one contributing to the immense sound of the album. Some may criticize them for their drum sound due to the crash sounding distant, it's got an air to it that helps to exhibit and maintain their raw approach. There are a few vocal effects seamlessly added, just to make vocalist Rene Blahusiak sound like he's melting at times. Knowing it's produced by Andy Classen (Krisiun, Dew Scented, Graveworm) might help in explaining the charging in full-force sound that comes across on God Defamer.
Positively one of the better acts attempting to perfect the over-the-top death metal approach, Dementor still suffer by sounding too uniform and commonplace. No matter how well they play, you're always going to be able to compare them to a hundred other bands. You'll be hard pressed to find a favorite song - or maybe just hard pressed when someone tries to ask you why it's your favorite. Fortunately fans of the genre don't seem to care too much about variety, and in that case, God Defamer will suit any extreme death metal addict.

Riverside, CA's Suicide Silence formed in 2002. A quintet, the band specializes in that 21st century metal phenomenon known as deathcore, and was signed to international mega metal label Century Media. The band managed to get things rolling quickly, save for a few lineup changes, and went from formation to deal in a mere two years. In the meantime, Suicide Silence issued one pre-deal EP -- the simply titled Suicide Silence -- which saw the light of day on indie labels At the Deep End and SOS Records. Their Century Media debut album, The Cleansing, was released in September of 2007, and was produced by John Travis. The album was a bit of a mover and shaker in the genre, breaking through to the Top 100 on the Billboard charts, and would become one of the label's biggest-ever sellers. Following the release of the album, the band toured steadily in the U.S. and Europe with Parkway Drive and Bury Your Dead. Members Mitch Lucker (vocals), Chris Garza (guitar), Mark Heylmun (guitar), Mike Bodkins (bass, but later replaced by Dan Kenny), and Alex Lopez (drums) had more reason to celebrate in 2008, as the band was added to the Mayhem metal festival, which hit stages that summer. ~ Chris True, Rovi

Jammin' on Main cancelled
Jammin' on Main canceled
Weather, costs combine to scuttle music festival By Cliff Peale and Janelle Gelfand Fans enjoyed the band The Roots during Jammin' on Main in 2002, the event's most successful year this decade. Bad weather cut into attendance the past two years, and Jammin' won't be held this year. Enquirer file/Jeff Swinger Zoom Years of dismal weather, rising costs and unpredictable crowds for the Jammin' on Main music festival have caused Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra to cancel the May event this year. The two-day festival presented more than two dozen bands downtown, including Fuel, Switchfoot, REO Speedwagon and '80s pop legend Blondie, who appeared last year. "Sure, I'd like to save it, but you have to make good business decisions," said Mike Smith, chief executive officer of Music & Event Management Inc., the symphony subsidiary that presented Jammin' on Main. Smith said the costs to book bands for Jammin' were up as much as 70 percent over the last several years, while other operating costs were up as much as 5 percent. And sponsors such as naming sponsor Pepsi were constantly tightening their contributions, he said. Bad weather discouraged attendance the last few years and the symphony is in belt-tightening mode. So it decided to cancel before starting to book the bands in early February, Smith said. He said the symphony would consider whether to bring back the event in 2006. The orchestra has run Jammin' for four years and has lost $200,000 on the rain-soaked event the past two years. It canceled the event after Over-the-Rhine street riots in 2001. The next year the event was successful, with attendance of 29,100. But attendance slumped to 13,900 in 2003 and 14,500 in 2004. Ticket prices in 2004 were $18 for a two-day pass and $15 for a single-day ticket. The decision comes as the CSO looks to balance its operating budget. Other cost-cutting measures already include canceling a summertime orchestra series, "Bach and Beyond," and the holiday show "Home for the Holidays." In addition, the orchestra raised ticket prices an average of 25 percent this season. The symphony had been contending with a $1.8 million accumulated deficit, which an anonymous donor wiped out last year. In October, the orchestra settled a contract with its 99 musicians that called for a two-year wage freeze and a reduction to 92 musicians by the 2005-06 season. Jammin' on Main was inherited from the now-defunct Cincinnati Arts Festival in 2001. It arrived with liabilities, and the symphony took a $91,000 write-off in 2002. The symphony formed Music & Event Management to add to the symphony's bottom line by producing other festivals and music events, such as the Tall Stacks Music, Arts & Heritage Festival and Jammin' on Main. |

Re: Jammin' on Main cancelled
Well, that's a shame. I had no idea the attendance numbers were so low. I've gone the last couple years, and it seems like a lot more than 14,000 people were there over the two nights.

Analyst: PS3 continues to lack a clear 'must-own' title that will drive sales
Cowen analyst Doug Creutz says he has lowered his expectation to toward PlayStation 3 for the year ahead as he doesn't believe the console has any bona fide system sellers.
"Although there appears to be a reasonably robust slate of games for the PlayStation 3 this year, Sony continues to lack a clear 'must-own' title that will drive sales, while its platform continues to be the most expensive in the market in the midst of a consumer slowdown," he said.
"Meanwhile, highly publicized platform initiatives such as Home have failed to get off the ground."
His overall assessment of 2008 was just as damning saying: "Following another year in which PS3 unit sales lagged behind the Wii and Xbox 360, it is now clear that Sony has failed to establish the PS3 as the console of choice among hardcore gamers this cycle."
Creutz now expects PlayStation 3 to sell 4 million units in 2009, compared to his previous forecast of 6.25.

THQ unlikely to break even this financial year, says analyst
Cowen analyst Doug Creutz reckon that Saints Row 2 publisher THQ is "likely miss its guidance" of breaking even for the second half of its March 09 fiscal year.
Creutz says the company won't hit its target "due to the declining performances of key franchises in the December quarter."
He says that recent NPD data shows WWE sales were down 22% in the December quarter compared with the previous year. Also, its SpongeBob franchise was down 19%.
He also cut his estimate on first year sales of the company's flagship title Saints Row 2 to 900,000 from 1 million.
For the forthcoming financial year, Creutz sees profits to fall from 44 cents to 30 cents per share, with revenue of $985.3 million, down from $1.03 billion.
"We think THQ share performance is unlikely to improve unless the company demonstrates renewed earnings stability," said Crutez.

A 16 year old Cornell student and her mother, 45, were loading belongings into their Subaru S.U.V in the Clara Dickson Hall parking lot on the Cornell University campus on Friday around 5:30pm, when they were hit by a Subaru station wagon driven by an 18 year old Cornell student that was backing out of a grassy area near the lot.
Police say the impact caused significant damage to both vehicles and injured both of the women, who were at the rear of the S.U.V. when the collision happened. Both women were treated at the scene, and one victim was transported to Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse for serious physical injuries, especially to one leg, while the other was transported to Cayuga Medical Center with less serious injuries.
Police say the operator of the station wagon that was determined to be at fault was uninjured during the incident.
Investigation is still ongoing, and no charges have been filed as of this time.

By 1912, he and his family had opened up shop on famed Fifth Avenue in New York City. A generation later, Gennaro's two sons expanded their family's collection to include the most luxurious European linens of the day?from renowned double damask from Ireland, to Alen�on laces from France, to elaborate embroideries from Belgium and Switzerland. In 1977, the ownership of Sferra was sold by the family to Paul Hooker, under whose keen business savvy and passionate stewardship this classic brand has flourished over the years. With the aid of great advancements in design and production techniques, Sferra has secured its rightful position as a leader in the luxury linens industry. Above all, the secret to the enduring reputation of the Sferra brand is the same now as it was a century ago?only the finest materials are used in any product bearing the Sferra name. read more

Actually, I don't think you have too much to worry about. QTTask.exe normally has two entries in your startup sequence. One of them is a "one-shot' ... if you look at its command line, you'll see an "-atboottime" switch. That one just runs once, checks various settings (e.g., file associations), then exits immediately. It has minimal impact on your system's startup time, and does not remain resident. This is the one that QuickTime tries to put into you startup sequence when you run any of QuickTime's apps.
The other one implements the QuickTime tray icon, and you can disable that one via Control Panel | QuickTime. If you disable the tray icon, QTTask.exe will not remain resident.
I think SCP may be tripping over the fact that, unless you have disabled QuickTime's tray icon, there are two entries in your startup sequence for exactly the same program (but with different command-line options).
bobcputnam:It appears that the option "Run Startup Cop Pro at startup" is broken. (XP SP3). Unchecking the box has no effect on the next boot, where the box is again checked. (And SCP conveniently ignores its own startup status.) I had to use msconfig to stop it permanently.
I can't duplicate the problem here (also running XP SP3). Either something else on your system is preventing SCP from removing its own auto-start command (I got a warning from ZoneLabs Security), or you misread the confirmation prompt that SCP presents when you disable the setting -- I suspect that you might have, as I had to re-read it a couple of times myself before I was sure just what it was asking! If you said, "Yes", that's why it didn't disable itself. The prompt asks, "Do you want Startup Cop Pro to run automatically when Windows starts?", not something like "Are you sure you want to change this setting?" (which is what I was expecting it to ask), so the appropriate answer is "No", not "Yes".
pappawingate: The latest version does not look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run for startup items. Will there be an update to fix this?
Version 5 which is going to be released shortly has better 64bit support.
