PROVENGE ® Indication and Important Safety Information PROVENGE ® is an autologous cellular immunotherapy indicated for the treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate resistant (hormone refractory) prostate cancer. PROVENGE is intended solely for autologous use and is not routinely tested for transmissible infectious diseases. The safety evaluation of PROVENGE was based on 601 prostate cancer patients in four randomized clinical trials who underwent at least one leukapheresis. The most common adverse events (incidence greater-than or equal to 15%) are chills, fatigue, fever, back pain, nausea, joint ache, and headache. Serious adverse events reported in the PROVENGE group include acute infusion reactions (occurring within 1 day of infusion) and cerebrovascular events. In controlled clinical trials, severe (Grade 3) acute infusion reactions were reported in 3.5% of patients in the PROVENGE group. Reactions included chills, fever, fatigue, asthenia, dyspnea, hypoxia, bronchospasm, dizziness, headache, hypertension, muscle ache, nausea, and vomiting. No Grade 4 or 5 acute infusion reactions were reported in patients in the PROVENGE group. To fulfill a post marketing requirement and as a part of the company's ongoing commitment to patients, Dendreon will conduct a registry of approximately 1500 patients to further evaluate a small potential safety signal of cerebrovascular events. In four randomized clinical trials of PROVENGE in prostate cancer patients, cerebrovascular events were observed in 3.5% of patients in the PROVENGE group compared with 2.6% of patients in the control group.

Family searches for woman after infant remains found under Smithfield home
Posted April 19, 2016
Smithfield, N.C. — Authorities remained tight-lipped Tuesday about the investigation into human remains found in the crawl space of a Smithfield home over the weekend.
James Morgan, who lives in the rented home with his mother, Pamela McBride, was running a cable under the house, at 102 Hartley Drive, on Saturday afternoon when he found two trash bags in the crawl space. When he checked to see what was inside one, he saw what he thought were human remains.
A Smithfield police officer and a Johnston County medical examiner later confirmed the remains of at least one infant were in one of the trash bags. Towels were wrapped around the remains, which were placed inside three trash bags, according to the application for a warrant to search the house and surrounding property.
The remains were sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Raleigh, but no information about the case has been released.
McBride told police that her daughter, who used to live in the home, has battled drug addiction and tried to hide several pregnancies, according to the warrant application. She estimated that her daughter has been pregnant about 10 times, but she only knows what happened to three of the children – two are in her custody and a third was given up for adoption years ago.
"I don't know who would do something like that. Why? You just have to ask yourself why," neighbor Ricky Williams said.
"They are good neighbors. They are good people. I don't have anything bad to say about them," neighbor Melvin Young said of McBride and her son.
McBride said she has no idea where her daughter is, and Smithfield police declined to comment on the case.
During their search of the home, police seized several Johnston County Department of Social Services letters addressed to the daughter, but agency officials declined to comment about any dealings with her, citing privacy regulations.

Dynamic WTI Link FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (Dynamic WTI Link)
(Get basic info about the Dynamic Watch This Item Link by
clicking here
How do I know the Dynamic WTI Link works?
Does the Dynamic WTI Link always work — and for all eBay international sites?
Can the Dynamic WTI Link be used to add watchers to a different eBay listing?
Can the Dynamic WTI Link add watchers to a listing without being clicked on?
Why does one sometimes get an eBay Login Page after clicking on the Dynamic WTI Link?
Is using one's own Watch Links in a listing within eBay policy?
How do I know the Dynamic WTI Link works?
You can easily test the functionality of the
Dynamic WTI Link
by clicking on the link within a live eBay listing, then verifying that the item was added to the Watch List on your My eBay page. (If it didn't work, please take a moment
let us know
You can also verify that our Link works for eBay Guests by doing the following before testing the Link: logout of eBay; clear your browser's cookies; close all browser windows. (Now open your browser and test the Dynamic WTI Link.)
Note that just as with clicking eBay-provided Watch Links, the newly refreshed item listing page may still say in the detail or header sections "Watch This Item in My eBay" even after you've already clicked accordingly.
Jump to
the top
of the FAQ.
Does the Dynamic WTI Link always work — and for all eBay international sites?
Pretty much so, but admittedly not always. We estimate that it functions as you'd expect at least 97% of the time. For some visitors to your listings (who browse the web with unusually high security settings, disabling many native browser functions) the Link can't detect which item page it's been placed on. In that infrequent case, if the user clicks the Link they'll get polite instructions to click on an eBay-provided Watch Link instead.
eBay has over 2 dozen international eBay country-sites. While we haven't tested the Link with all of them, we feel pretty confident that it should work on each of them. If it doesn't work on your eBay site, please
let us know
Jump to
the top
of the FAQ.
Can the Dynamic WTI Link be used to add watchers to a different eBay listing?
No, not from locations outside of the second listing itself. The Link only works for the eBay listing into which it is placed. If you'd like to solicit watchers for another item, just copy the same Link code into that new item listing; no HTML code modification is necessary.
In other words... A Dynamic WTI Link placed into listing #123456789 will only add watchers for that listing. Copying the identical Link HTML code into listing #987654321 will add watchers only for #987654321.

the top
of the FAQ.
Can the Dynamic WTI Link add watchers to a listing without being clicked on?
No. The Link must be clicked on by the visitor for the item to be added to their eBay Watch List.
Jump to
the top
of the FAQ.
Why does one sometimes get an eBay Login Page after clicking on the Dynamic WTI Link?
Sometimes when you click on our Dynamic WTI Link you get an eBay Login page. (This also sometimes happens when you click on an eBay-provided Watch Link.) This happens when eBay doesn't completely recognize who you are and needs to verify your identify before adding the item to your Watch List. Getting the eBay Login page can happen if you happened to close your browser window since last logging in to eBay.
Rest assured that we are
phishing for your visitors' personal eBay login credentials. The eBay Login page you get is a genuine eBay page that includes
(with a domain suffix, such as ".com", appropriate to your eBay country-site) in the address bar of your browser, along with a browser lock/key icon to designate SSL security. Just as eBay insists, we also recommend you always make sure such indicators are present in your browser before entering your eBay login credentials.
Jump to
the top
of the FAQ.
Is using one's own Watch Links in a listing within eBay policy?
We're not completely sure, frankly. eBay doesn't seem to have a policy either permitting or prohibiting the practice of building Watch Links, and we've never had any of our listings removed for including seller-provided Watch Links, whether manually built, or our Dynamic Watch This Item Link.
While we're working on getting a clear answer from eBay about whether such links are ok, it's our understanding that the seller community generally regards doing so as acceptable, provided that you inform the visitor what will happen when they click the link. If you say something as simple as "Click here to watch this item" you're probably just fine in eBay's eyes.

Signing Day surprises were becoming an old hat by the time the 2008 class came to be, but this was different. This 11th-hour commitment elicited vitriol, venomous comments from a fellow Big Ten coach, who accused Rich Rodriguez of being a snake-oil salesman.
No. 6 - Roy Roundtree - 2008
The Recruitment
A 6-1, 154-pound receiver from Trotwood, Ohio, Roundtree hadn't generated a ton of attention. He held offers from Nebraska and Purdue, along with Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio) and Toledo.
Connecting with the Boilermakers and head coach Joe Tiller, he picked Purdue on May 31, 2007, eight months before Signing Day.
"When we went to the Nike Camp [in March], me and my dad were running around seeing how campus is," Roundtree said at the time of his commitment. "They have nice football facilities and a nice area to play football. It seems like a football town."
Roundtree remained committed to Purdue through the summer and the fall, visiting West Lafayette officially Oct. 5. He wore the black and gold proudly, but when the coach recruiting him left Purdue, Roundtree considered the possibility of looking around.
His mom had always been enamored with U-M, and with Madison teammate Brandon Moore a Michigan commitment and teammate Michael Shaw visiting Ann Arbor two weeks prior, Roundtree took a last-minute trip Feb. 2, four days before Signing Day.
"Obviously Purdue has been recruiting him from day one and he's built a lot of ties with them, but the coach that recruited him is no longer with the staff at Purdue and that's a little bit of a change," Trotwood offensive coordinator Jeremy Beckman said.
"He's going up there and is keeping an open mind. He's not going to just throw Purdue aside because he's visiting Michigan, but he's also going to look at it as a potential to commit to the Wolverines."
First things first, which meant Roundtree needed a scholarship offer from U-M. That came Feb. 5, on the eve of Signing Day.
Roundtree wasted little time, telling the Michigan coaches he wanted to be a Wolverine, and sending his fax letter in.
"Coach Tony Dews, the wide receivers coach, was recruiting me at West Virginia, and he had said 'Tree, it's not over until Wednesday the 6th.' And then when he transferred over with Coach Rodriguez and the staff to Michigan, I was like, man, I might have a chance," Roundtree said.
Roundtree wasn't the only switch; Shaw also signed with the Maize and Blue, reneging on a commitment to Penn State.
"I decided 20 minutes before I signed," Shaw said. "I didn't sleep the whole night before. I was just thinking about my decision. My parents and I sat down with my coach and we just went back in forth on it. We finally came to the conclusion that Michigan was for me.
"I'm excited about it. I was still debating on my decision, and after I finally made my decision, I thought just me and Brandon were going together because Tree [Roundtree] didn't tell anybody. He didn't even tell his parents, so that was a big shock.
"We all had kind of been thinking about what it would be like if we all got to play with each other outside of high school. We didn't know how that would turn out, but it's crazy how it worked out that three of us can go to the same school."
And that was that. Well, until Tiller got in front of the microphones and went off.
"If we had an early signing date, you wouldn't have another outfit with a guy in a wizard hat selling snake oil get a guy at the last minute, but that's what happened," he said, before calling out Roundtree and Trotwood-Madison next.
"On the other side of the coin, maybe the guy did you a favor. It makes you wonder about the kid, the people surrounding him, the people in that high school who would let that happen.
"I can say this: We won't go back in that high school again and we won't be the only institution not to."
At Michigan
Roundtree was too small when he first arrived on campus, and he would redshirt in 2008, avoiding the drama that occurred when Michigan tripped to Purdue that fall (and subsequently lost 48-42 in one of Rodriguez's infamous contests).
In 2009, he was in danger of making little to no impact again, catching just a single pass in the first four games when two elements collided together. The first was Roundtree coming up with a huge TD reception with 0:02 on the clock in securing the game-tying touchdown at Michigan State. That clutch catch won him some admirers in the locker room and the coaches' room. The second was an injury to lead receiver Martavious Odoms three weeks later at Penn State.
With Odoms out for games against Illinois, Purdue, Wisconsin and Ohio State, Michigan needed someone to fill the role of slot receiver, and Roundtree earned the job. In those four contests, he would catch 30 balls for 390 yards and two touchdowns.
A star was born.
U-M's starting slot from the onset in 2010, Roundtree put together a monster season, catching 72 balls (sixth in the single-season annals) for 935 yards (15th) and seven touchdowns (20th). He set the single-game record for receiving yards with 246 in a triple-overtime 67-65 win over Illinois, eclipsing Jack Clancy's 44-year old record by 49 yards.
In 2011, with a move to the outside receiver position in Michigan's hybrid pro-style offense, Roundtree saw his numbers and opportunities drop precipitously, to 19 grabs, 355 yards and two scores as he tried to fit in. However, the junior rose up when called upon, hauling in the game-winning 16-yard touchdown against Notre Dame with (sound familiar) 0:02 left in the game.
"In the huddle, I told Denard [Robinson], 'Throw me the ball,'" Roundtree recalled. "You've got to want the ball. Being out there in front of 110,000 people, on national TV every weekend, you have to be confident."
Roundtree was confident he would finish his career with a flourish, and though he never came close to equaling his 2010 production, he did have a memorable senior year, catching 31 balls for 580 yards and three touchdowns, including a masterful performance against Northwestern (five for 139) that featured a highlight-reel Hail Mary grab.

NEW YORK (Jan. 9)
Pointing out that the majority of these refugees were helped by USHA to integrate themselves into the .American economy through vocational guidance and employment Services, Rosenberg said that thousands' of them were also aided in moving away from Seaport cities where they disembarked and in settling in communities from coast to coast. USNA is seeking $13,665,000 for 1948 to provide assistance to newcomers, provided Jewish immigration does not exceed an average of about 2,000 people a month.
In a foreword to the report, Rosenberg and Mrs. Irving M. Engel, chairman of
"The possibilities of admitting greater numbers of displaced persons of all faiths is greatly enhanced," their statement continued, "by the fact that the leaders of our nation know that this voluntary welfare program has brought about the adjustment and Americanization of survivors of Nazi prosecution who have found haven on our shores and that similar assistance will be extended to those who arrive in the future."
Joseph E. Beck, executive director of the agency, reported that studies by the government as well as by United Service, indicate that the post-war refugee immigrants are following the same pattern adjustment and Americanization that was established by those who came before the war. "We may expect that they will achieve a similar excellent record of constructive contribution to their new country," he predicted.

text: Once Upon a Time Season 2 Review "The Queen is Dead" – Oh Mama March 3, 2013 Once Upon a Time, Reviews It seemed like everyone was having mother issues in "The Queen is Dead," this week's episode of Once Upon a Time, although no one was as bratty as Henry, not even little Snow before she got schooled by her mama. To no one's surprise, Henry can't forgive Emma for lying to him about his father. After everything he's seen and everything he knows about their crazy lives, he can't wrap his head around the possibility that she had very good reasons for what she did. That's a fail, Henry. Snow's birthday rolled around, but she had no intention of letting Charming celebrate it, as she's still grieving for her mother (Rena Sofer), who died of a mystery illness on her birthday, leaving her in the care of servant Johanna (Downton Abbey's Lesley Nichols aka Mrs. Padmore). Of course, the mystery illness turned out to be poison a la Cora, who in addition to wanting Regina on the throne, really seemed to have it out for Snow's mother. It wasn't enough to kill her; she wants to keep destroying her by turning Snow's heart black. Well, after everything Cora has done…killing Mama Snow, taking Rumple's dagger before killing Johanna…it looks like she might have gotten her wish. Snow wants Cora dead and she isn't interested in doing the right thing anymore. It had to come to this point eventually after everything Snow has been through. Happiness has been dangled in front of her so many times, only be cruelly jerked away by Regina and Cora. I just hope Charming will help her and not turn his back on her. Back in New York, Hook managed to sail his ship all the way to Manhattan just to stab Gold with a poisoned blade. Fortunately, Emma hits harder, and she and Neil (who immediately recognized Hook) got the pirate all tied up. They needed to get Gold back to Storybrooke immediately, but the fastest way was Hook's ship. To Emma's (but no one else's) surprise, Neil volunteered that he can pilot a pirate ship, all but confirming (especially when he said that he should be hundreds of years old) that he is Peter Pan. Unfortunately for Emma, who was just beginning to feel the old stir of emotions for Neil, she soon discovered that he has a fiancee named Tamara. Well, that's Peter Pan for you. He never could stay faithful to Wendy. So, if Snow turns bad, could that lead her to join forces with Regina who is starting to question her mother's true intentions? That's an alliance I would like to see. In the meantime, let's all mourn Mrs. Padmore…I mean, Johanna…and take a moment to marvel over the real stars of tonight's episode, the incredible costumes. Seriously, could those dresses get any more gorgeous?? What did you think about the episode? Let me know below! And remember you can always follow me on Twitter @krieli1 so you never miss a review.

The directing was weird , the dialogue was trite at times and the acting is kinda mechanical and pretty bad. Oh and I think we can all agree The Blue Fairy Cora or not Bogdobbler I couldn't keep my attention on this episode, and I find I've grown bored with all of the plot lines. I stopped watching after 20 mins and removed the series from my DVR recordings. A shame, because I really liked it until recently; it just seemed to peter out. Rew The acting of young Snow White and her mother was just painful to watch. This is one of those episodes where you can clearly tell the makers of the episode just threw in gratuitous fairy tale elements, to hell with quality. Snow's mother: "Just because we're royalty doesn't mean we're better than anyone else" – while wearing 50 pounds of diamonds and throwing a ball for Snow. Why was she wearing heels while dying in bed? Where was the king? Why does Snow have to over-pro-nounce *gasp* and overact *sob* constantly *tear flows down* ? Also, Henry's acting is very very bad too.


text: Hi, I finally discovered that it was the Launcherpro that was causing the battery drain in my S2 resulting in the Android OS to be using high level of CPU. Using android system info app, I can see there are 2 processes ( android.process.acore) using up to 100% of CPU regularly. The exact file is com.fede.launcher running in the background. So, this is what I did: 1. Go to Launcherpro General settings = disable the Keep in memory 2. Enter Android system info app again, manually end the task for android.process.acore 3. This would stop the android os drain Please note that, whenever you restart your phone, the same file will reappear and you need to manually kill it. This solution works for me and I'm now able to use S2 for 2.5 days with moderate use of 3G and screen brightness at max. I guess this is my best solution until Launcherpro comes up with an update that solve this problem. At least I know it's not Samsung's fault.

Netgear DGN1000SP connectivity (wireless and wired)
And the time has once again arrived for me to ask for help.
Starting around a week ago I began to have problems connecting to my router via wifi; after turning my laptop on I would simply have "No Internet Access" and could remedy this by toggling the in-built adapter.
Then that stopped working.
For the past several days I have had to power cycle the router in order to reestablish a connection, and even then it has not been immediate; while Windows would report a stable connection, I would recieve no packets whatsoever. Within a few minutes this would sort itself out.
Then that stopped working.
Tonight I experienced what is, to me, the most bizarre connectivity problems to my memory. I got home from work and as usual switched on the laptop; "No Internet Access". Powercycled, after a few minutes it started working. Fired up the PS3 and stuck on Lovefilm to watch a bit of old school Buffy (yeah that's right, the vampire slayer!) and all was well.
It wasn't long after that when once again my laptop just plain dropped out. Here is a list of things I tried, in no particular order:
- Reconnecting to the wifi network; met with "Windows could not connect..." after manually disconnecting.
- Logging off and back on; no change
- Reboot; no change
- Plugged in a wired connection; "No Internet Access", also labelled my network as "Belkin54g", which is my secondary router upstairs which is physically switched off at the mains and has been for three days.
- Shutdown and power on; no change
- Plugged in a wired connection; didn't even recognise that a cable had been plugged in. I have it set to automatically prioritise a wired connection and it did absolutely nothing to show that a cable was plugged in.
- Tried connecting via my tablet; recieved an endless "Connecting..." dialogue.
My first thoughts, a few days ago, were that the router was to blame, yet my Android tablet has been showing the same signs with the only difference that most of the time when my laptop took a while to realise the signal was there (when I'd cycled the router), the tablet would connect instantly.
So then I figured it must be the router, right?
Except the PS3 remained streaming happily the entire time, and my connection isn't fast enough for it to have buffered the entire episode by the time I began having this much more advanced problem tonight.
As usual my recounting is disjointed and a mess of details so do of course ask me to clarify any issues. My main question though is Should I just replace my router?

Have you also updated your router's firmware? If that didn't help perhaps resetting your router to the factory default settings then reconfigure everything from scratch. Feel free to backup the current settings before the reset.

Honestly I haven't tried this. I finally ragequit the Netgear and switched to the Linksys which is working perfectly, also used my laptop at a different place today and the wireless was spot-on, eliminating it as a potential culprit.
I've always been reluctant to upgrade things, though, due to a long history of bad updates (usually only when they're brand new releases though) killing many a device. Too many manufacturer's use the first people to download updates as a sort of beta group, though granted the firmware for my NG is going to be old enough by now to have gone through those trials.
I suppose I'll have to try that tomorrow, the Linksys is only G which I know is going to bug me if I do want to use it long-term. It needs a peripheral aerial to be any good, anyway :I

I replaced my Linksys G router last year, it was still good but I wanted and new router to utilize all the modern features and enhanced security. I got a Netgear Dual Band router and it's a great router.
|My System Specs
|26 Jul 2012
Not overly keen on buying new things if I can bodge an old one, I'm very much the skinflint! I'm going to try the NG update tomorrow and if it doesn't work I'll just settle for the Linksys and grab a 2.4 aerial from work. Might even reactivate the wireless on my Belkin to give me a bit of coverage upstairs, just a bit more hassle and it tends to try and take over the network and wrest control away from the primary/modem router if I access it's configuration page :I
|My System Specs
|26 Jul 2012
Resetting your Netgear router to the factory default might also help, not sure if you have not done this yet.
|My System Specs
|27 Jul 2012
Well poop. It seems because this was a Virgin Media branded NG I cannot actually use NG updates, and the current firmware on the device is Virgin's newest. I'll try a full factory reset and give it a day or so to see how it handles (this problem is intermittent, Wednesday night for example, it behaved perfectly) and then get back to you.

Christianity as practiced in the U.S. is a bit overwhelming to a clergyman from Britain. This is the impression conveyed last week by two English ministers, in a group of ten exchange visitors traveling in the U.S. under the auspices of the National Council of Churches and the British Council of Churches. "I am wondering whether the church in America is not frightened by this boom in religion." said Canon Hartley A. Wareham. Vicar of Linthorpe. Middlesbrough. Yorkshire. "The fantastic interest in church building, church attendance and education is a strange, alarming phenomenon about which we must not be cynical. It...

The man charged with stabbing the wife of a pastor earlier this month in a Zanesville church faced a judge on Wednesday.
A lawyer for 25-year-old Kerron Brantley said the man is not guilty by reason of insanity.
Investigators said Brantley broke into the First Church of God on Newark Road where he allegedly stabbed the wife of the church pastor.
Brantley faces multiple charges including attempted murder, felonious assault and breaking and entering.
The Zanesville Times Recorder reported that Brantley was being held in lieu of a $500,000 bond.

Problem is it looks like it's been hot dipped in zinc.
My question: Given that it's mild steel (low carbon steel) underneath the coating (it looks that way as I've taken a little of it back - the rest looks dull grey-almost black) would it be safe to use after I either got it sand blasted or took it back to bare shiny metal myself.
Thanks in anticipation!

Crews rescue trapped driver after tree falls onto car in Beltsville
Rainy weather conditions may have contributed to an accident that seriously injured a driver when a tree plunged onto their car in Beltsville.
A 40-something-year-old man suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries. He is hospitalized at a local trauma center.
The vehicle was traveling in the 4200 block of Sellman Road just after 9 a.m. Thursday when it happened. Prince George's County fire officials say a tree uprooted from the wet and soft ground and toppled onto the front end of a car, pinning the driver inside, as it was driving by.
Upon arrival, firefighters and medics secured the scene, and a rescue squad extricated the{ }man from the vehicle.
A crew removed the fallen tree from the scene, and cut down another unstable tree as well.
The Prince George's County Police Department is investigating the incident.

Congregation Etz Chaim has reserved a shady area of Ramona Oaks Park in San Diego Country Estates for a Welcome potluck picnic at noon on Sunday, Sept. 18.
The purpose of the potluck is many fold, says Rhoda Hamburger of the congregation: To welcome back congregation members after the summer break, to welcome Jewish families who may be considering joining this Reform Jewish congregation and to welcome the advent of the Jewish New Year in an informal atmosphere before the solemnity of the High Holy Days.
All who are interested in Reform Judaism and would like to get involved in its practice in Ramona are welcome to attend.
"This will be a fun way to meet others who have similar traditions," said Jamburger. "Congregation members have moved to Ramona from all over the country as well as many foreign places to enjoy its beautiful amenities. Come to the picnic and share your stories."
To make reservations and for information about Ramona's only Jewish congregation and its monthly activities, call 760-789-2781.

THIS weekend, two small clubs from Armagh and Tyrone will line out in Croke Park for their All Ireland final. Middletown in the junior hurling and Derrytresk (ahem) in the junior football. I'll get the famous schemozzle out of the way first.
I have viewed it now about 30 times and I really feel you'd need to have a heart of stone not to watch it without laughing.
I have particular time for the mentor, selector, coach, fella in the blue coat on the sideline with the clipboard in his hand. Attacked from behind, in front and from the side and giving as good as he got all the while, he managed at no stage to lose his grip on the clipboard.
I'd love to know what was written on that clipboard that warranted such steely never say die resolve to hold on or die.
What secrets of Derrytresk were scribbled on that clipboard that no amount of thumping was going to remove?
Here we have a gentleman who could have doubled his fighting capacity (and probably his suspension) in one fell swoop had he thrown caution to the wind, let the aul clipboard fall and fire out a few hay-makers purely in self defence.
But the clipboard survived unscathed and hopefully will get a run-out on Sunday on the hallowed turf itself.

Ulster Bank to shed 250 jobs
Ulster Bank is to axe 250 more jobs after today announcing losses of £8m for the first half of 2009.
The all-Ireland bank's profits have slumped 105% from £172m profit and its bad debts have soared from £18m to £157m. There is no breakdown of the figures for Northern Ireland.
Ulster Bank, which has 282 branches in Ireland, 92 of those in Northern Ireland, has already saved £11m in staff costs in the first half of this year. It shed 200 jobs in Northern Ireland through its voluntary severance scheme and 500 posts in the Republic.
Cormac McCarthy, chief executive, Ulster Bank, said: "Our voluntary severance programme, introduced in January 2009, was very heavily over-subscribed. Taking account of this over-subscription and the potential for further restructuring in certain areas of our business, we now intend to work with our employees and their representatives to seek an additional 250 voluntary redundancies."
It is understood that the Republic will suffer the majority of the surprise job losses announced today.
Ulster Bank's parent company, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), edged back into the black today with a £15m profit for the first half of 2009. The profit at the bank, which is 70% owned by the taxpayer after a £20bn bailout, came despite bad debts and writedowns soaring to £7.5bn.
Chief executive Stephen Hester, who has been charged with the turnaround of the troubled bank, said it had been a "momentous" six months for the business.
He added: "There will be no miracle cures. Our task is no less than one of the largest bank restructurings ever done, in the face of strong economic headwinds.
"Overall results may not substantially improve until 2011 and full recovery will take time."
The corporate sector suffered the heaviest losses for Ulster Bank with impairments of £107m, mainly attributed to property development loans. Mortgage bad debts were £23m.
Mr McCarthy, said: "Our results are set against the backdrop of very difficult market conditions.
"As part of the recent strategic review undertaken by RBS we have clearly defined our future business strategy and we have already taken significant steps to adapt to the environment we face.
"Ulster Bank is deeply embedded in both the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland economies and is fully committed to serving the needs of our 1.9 million customers."
It also emerged that RBS has established a non-core division to separately manage a pool of assets and businesses which will be disposed of, restructured or run down in a disciplined manner over time. Ulster Bank has identified assets for this division.
Mr McCarthy added: "We expect conditions to remain challenging for the foreseeable future."
On Wednesday local bank, First Trust, also reported losses of £41m for the first half of 2009.

What Floats Your Boat on San Francisco Bay?
The merger of two April boat shows should make Jack London Square a lively place next month.
March 16, 2009
Call it a long overdue business proposition, a marriage of convenience, or a sign of the economic times, the news that two boat show organizers, Sail America and the Northern California Marine Association, are merging their spring boat shows next month should be a win-win-win for boaters in the Bay area as well as the two trade associations.
Scheduled for April 15 to 19, Sail America's "Strictly Sail Pacific" will now include NCMA's "Pacific Power Boat Expo," with boats of each flavor filling the docks in adjacent basins. Sailors can take their powerboating friends along for the weekend, visit their own type of boat separately, enjoy lunch together in the redeveloped Jack London Square, and then hit the tent exhibits to outfit their boats. Hopefully they'll bring their kids along; then they can send them out for demo sails, while they get advice on eco-friendly products and practices in the Green Boating Zone.
I'm a member of Sail America's Board of Directors, and I attended Strictly Sail Pacific last year. I had a great time at the show and even made a video about a spin around the Alameda basin as part of the show's Discover Sailing promotion. The video's still posted at the Cruising World website. (It's right after the 7 Galapagos videos I mentioned in an earlier post.) So, if that looks to you like a nice place to jump into a spring in-water boat show, put the new Strictly Sail Pacific & Power Boat Expo on your calendar. The full press release including times and ticket prices follows.
—John Burnham
Strictly Sail® Pacific & Power Boat Expo™ to be held April 15 – 19, 2009
Middletown, RI (March 17, 2009) -- Sail America, the national trade association for the sailing industry, today announced the merger of Strictly Sail Pacific with the Northern California Marine Association's (NCMA) Pacific Power Boat Expo. The new show, Strictly Sail Pacific & Power Boat Expo™, will take place April 15-19, 2009 at the newly remodeled Jack London Square in Oakland, California.
Strictly Sail Pacific & Power Boat Expo will bring together more than 300 exhibitors from around the world, including a massive in-water fleet of both sail and power boats and hundreds of on-land exhibits. More than 15,000 boating enthusiasts are expected to attend the five-day event to check out the latest boats, gear and accessories, participate in hundreds of educational seminars, and take part in special events ranging from demo sails for kids to the Green Boating Zone featuring the latest eco-friendly boating products and best practices.
According to Sail America Executive Director, Jonathan Banks, talks of the proposed merger came about following the completion of the newly remodeled Jack London Square. "For the first time, Jack London Square has the space and facilities to accommodate a combined show. The original plan was to wait until 2010 but there was such a strong case to combine the shows we pulled out all the stops to make it happen this year. The decision to combine the shows has the unanimous support of the Sail America Board of Directors and NCMA's Board of Directors," said Banks.
"The merger is great news for the Northern California boating industry, and we anticipate a positive response from both our exhibitors and our boat show customers," said Jorgen Bateman, director of sales, NCMA. "There is a large cross over market in the region and combining the shows will draw a much larger crowd who now can enjoy the very best in both power and sail in one location."
"Now more than ever, boat show producers need to work together and we believe combining the two shows is a winning proposition for all involved," said Banks. "Sail America and NCMA will benefit from sharing various costs, and the combined marketing budget will achieve far greater reach. The result will be a bigger, more exciting event that will draw additional patrons interested in both sail and power and will provide tremendous value to our exhibitors."
The new and expanded show venue will have one marina basin dedicated to sailboats and another basin dedicated to power boats, with a connecting dock between the two basins. The on-land exhibitors will be located throughout Jack London Square with a large tented area at the recently remodeled east end of the Square.
Many show exhibitors have reacted positively to the merger. "Combining Strictly Sail Pacific and Power Boat Expo is a terrific idea. It brings all of our customers to one show and creates great cross-marketing opportunities," said Jim Hancock, general manager of Club Nautique, San Francisco Bay's premier sailing and powerboat school and yacht charter company.
The remaining available space at the new combined show is expected to sell quickly. Any company that is interested in exhibiting at Strictly Sail Pacific & Power Boat Expo should contact either Lori Gleason at email@example.com or 312-240-6802, or Jorgen Bateman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 916-372-4239.

Sometimes we catch a glimpse of a new app while flicking through our App Store RSS feeds, and its artwork leaps out at us. Pete's Robot, a new book-app from Heartdrive Media, is one of those.
It's a book-app about a boy named Pete, who builds a robot. "Pete builds and builds all day and all night until he is finished, except he forgets the most important part…the robot's heartdrive! The robot goes crazy and takes off into town, causing all sorts of silly mischief…"
The app has 30 animated pages, with background music and a choice of three voice narrators. It looks like good, knockabout fun for kids and parents looking beyond the obvious book brands on the App Store.
Pete's Robot costs £1.99 and is a Universal app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

While in the car last night, I heard an interview on As It Happens with a Victoria golfer named Helen Power who is 70. She took up golf five years ago and in that span has recorded – get this – 42 holes-in-one! She's had 13 this year!
Power plays at the Henderson Lake Golf Course, a nine-holer in Victoria, B.C. And yes, maybe it's a short course, but still . . . 42 holes-in-one? That's amazing, especially since she only started playing golf five years go.
You can hear the interview here — listen to part three — but she credits her swing, which produces a bump-and-run style shot, with allowing her to make so many aces.
Stephen Johnston from Toronto is reportedly the leader in aces in Canada with 49. He's even being featured in radio ads for Chartered Accountants these days. The way Granny Power is going, however, he better watch out.

Is there another procedure besides Fraxel that can help improve or eliminate ice pick scars? A procedure that does not involve multiple visits or passes? Longer downtime is okay.
Alternative to Fraxel Laser for Ice Pick Scars?
Doctor Answers 4
Treating ice pick scars
Ice pick scars are difficult to treat and usually require multiple modalities.
I would begin with surgical excision.
Phase two would be skin resurfacing. The best laser is CO2. I would recommend two or more Fraxel repair or a series of Fraxel restore treatments. You are better off having more treatments with less downtime and risk than an aggressive older style CO2 laser which has a greater risk of complications.
I have also found replacing lost facial volume as a tremendous benefit to acne scars. Sculptra works well to replace lost fat. Other fillers for more superficial residual scars works well such as Juvederm or Restylane.
Learn more: http://www.yourfacemd.com/facial-sculpting-manhattan-ny/laser-resurfacing.html
The best treatment for ice pick acne scar is a two stage treatment.
There is no resurfacing method that in my opinion by itself is effective in improving ice pick acne scars. Too many physicians and other providers try to resurface them alone and this does not sufficiently improve their appearance. And I agree with you that a fraxel treatment would be a waste of your time and only give you minimal improvement.
The best initial treatment is punch excision of the ice pick scars to change them from divets or depressions to linear scars. Once the linear scars heal up from the excision, then a resurfacing procedure works the best such as CO2 laser (the gold standard) or erbium laser resurfacing. Fraxel can be used after the scar(s) are excised first, but it results in less improvement. Obviously, the more agressive treatment has a longer down-time for recovery.
I have published an article on the CO2 laser for acne scarring you might wish to google for yourself. I have done the excision of ice pick scars followed by CO2 laser resurfacing for about 15 years now with excellent results and feel that the downtime is worth the improvement. I hope this information helps.
Fraxel won't eliminate ice pick scars
The best way to eliminate ice pick scars is by excising them. Visit an experienced plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon for a consultation. Fraxel will likely leave you disappointed.

It may be possible to excise or punch out and directly close these scars, but it is difficult to say without seeing you directly. Visit with an e perienced plastic or facial plastic surgeon.

State presses on with Schrenker case
Indianapolis - Despite a public appeal before a national audience, the state of Indiana is moving forward with prosecution of Michelle Schrenker and her husband, Marcus. After Michelle Schrenker appeared on NBC's Today, Eyewitness News talked with the man who is leading the investigation.
Michelle Schrenker's appearance on national television on Friday looked like a volley to sway public opinion after the state recently froze her assets and those of her estranged husband Marcus Schrenker.
"People seem to think that the state is giving me some sort of allowance that's helping me take care of my children and that's not the case," Michelle Schrenker.
That drew a quick and sharp reply from Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita, whose office sought to freeze the assets on behalf of dozens of former investors with Marcus Schrenker's Fishers financial companies.
"Our fight is in the courtroom, not the court of public opinion and that's where my focus will be," said Rokita.
Michelle Schrenker repeated on NBC's Today Show what her attorney maintained in an Indiana court - that, despite holding the title of CFO paying more than $10,000 a month, she was nothing more than a bookkeeper. Also detailed, the over $66,000 Eyewitness News reported that Schrenker withdrew from a company account in December just days before she filed for divorce.
"He took the deposits in. That was never something I did. My focus was always my family. It was never the company," Schrenker said.
Michelle Schrenker's attorney plans to appeal the judge's decision.
Suggested Links
"Whether she's an accomplice or a victim, for me isn't really the point. I want to protect investors and just because assets were transferred into her name doesn't mean they're hers," said Rokita.
State officials maintain that the case against Marcus and Michelle Schrenker is far from over. The receiver appointed to oversee the Schrenkers' assets has until June to compile a list that will then be given to the state.

The U.S. dollar advanced sharply against the Japanese currency Monday, touching ¥86.79, the highest level in roughly two years and five months, on speculation thatthe United States could possibly avert a fiscal crisis.
At 5 p.m., the dollar traded at ¥86.69-79, up from ¥85.85-95 yen at 5 p.m. Friday. The euro was quoted at $1.3190-3200 and 114.40-50 yen against $1.3211-3221 and ¥113.72-82 late Friday.
The dollar gained ¥9.83 from the end of 2011, while the euro added ¥14.80.
In 2012, the dollar lost ground near ¥76 in February against the backdrop of the European debt crisis and monetary easing in the United States. The dollar later bounced to around ¥84, then back to around ¥80.
In November, the dollar started gaining as prospects grew that Shinzo Abe, an advocate of bold monetary easing in Japan, would become Japan's prime minister after the December election.

Wednesday, February 1: I was dropped-off by a "hiker shuttle" at Woody Gap around 8:30 a.m. It is important to note that the availability of hiker-support services afford all kinds of hikers the opportunity to have access to food, warm showers, clean bedding, laundry, Internet, etc. The Hiker Hostel (www.hikerhostel.com) is owned and operated by a couple who are both AT thru hikers. They decided to build a home and a hostel, in the near shadows of the mountains. I was able to drop-in for the night and leave the next morning; having (among other things) written my last blog (I only have the ability to update this blog when I have internet access). Additionally, I was able to wash and dry my limited clothes; re-charge my IPad, cell phone, and camera; and, enjoy an excellent breakfast.
The hike into Blood Mountain had me at the summit by 1:30 p.m. I took only short breaks as most of the morning it lightly-sprinkled. Just before reaching Slaughter Creek Trail the rain intensified, and continued throughout the balance of the hike. Blood Mountain is home to a stone shelter, originally constructed in 1934. A recent $50,000 renovation of this historic shelter has made for a more secure and attractive building! "Dropping" down the "northern side" of the mountain was made more difficult with the rain and large slabs of rock. However, this section would have been much more challenging if it was snowing instead! Unlike in New England where cairns mark the trail above the tree-line, here in the southern Appalachians the white blazes are often painted only on the rocks and/or rock surfaces above the tree-line. These blazes would be invisible to the hiker with only an inch of snow. My arrival to Mountain Crossings (an Outfitter and bunkhouse) in Neel Gap at 2:40 p.m. was a real relief! Soaked, I stepped inside the store, completed some necessary food and equipment purchases, and was again able to dry off and spend the night indoors. Food and good company were shared, and by the next morning the rain was gone. 10.5 miles
Thursday, February 2: I left Neel Gap at 8:00 a.m. The last thing I did was to "tuck" my fleece vest up under my sleeping bag, so it would be easily accessible if I became too cool. The hike, though busy with some ups and downs, afforded time to watch the air clear and the views sharpen. Unfortunately, I didn't notice my vest had fallen free from my pack until I took my first longer break in Tesnatee Gap at about 11:30 a.m. For a hiker, this is not a happy outcome… We carefully anticipate the clothing we'll need; and, losing something like a vest, puts, you at some risk.
Back in 1972 there was a shelter right off the road in Tesnatee Gap. Though convenient for hikers, it was also convenient for anyone else who might be driving by; and, I suspect that there were more than a few parties that utilized this shelter as well. In any case the shelter once there, no longer exists, Headed north out of Tesnatee Gap is a climb to Hogpen Gap. Then the trail meanders over several miles of ridges and mountains before reaching Low Gap. Though relatively uneventful, I enjoyed meeting a couple of guys out on an overnight at the top of Sheep Rock Top, prior to heading down to the gap by 3:00 p.m. Before too long I had company… A 20-year-old from the Atlanta area who's trail name is "Stargazer". A bright and outgoing young man, he helped make the evening go quickly. We had our dinners, chatting all the time, and were ready for nighttime and in our sleeping bags by 6:00 p.m. 11.5 miles

What is a derecho? Massive, severe thunderstorms explained
Many forecasters have been using the term derecho to describe what could impact the D.C. area in the next 36 hours. The violent storms are extremely hard to predict in the longer term.
A destructive derecho did hit the area on June 29, 2012, and with severe storms on the horizon this week, it's best to be prepared for any sort of weather that comes, derecho or not.
ABC7 meteorologist Brian van de Graaff explains exactly what comprises a derecho.

The World Anti-Doping Association (WADA) has dropped an appeal regarding the decision not to sanction five Mexican footballers who tested positive for clenbuterol in June at the World Cup, upon consideration of the full files relating to the case. The athletes claim the positive clenbuterol tests were a result of contaminated meat.
WADA has received compelling evidence that indicates a serious health problem in Mexico with regard to meat contaminated with clenbuterol. WADA says this is a public health issue that is now being addressed urgently by the Mexican Government.
The government of Mexico — which has legislation forbidding the use of steroids with livestock — accepts that it has an issue with contaminated meat and is actively looking to resolve the problem state by state. Already several arrests have been made pursuant to these laws and large amounts of clenbuterol seized. Investigations are to continue.
The state government in Guadalajara has taken steps to ensure the meat available to athletes at the Pan American Games will not be contaminated.
