Sensex crashes 431 points; don't panic, say experts
Investors lost Rs. 1 lakh crore on Monday as a combination of profit booking, panic selling and weak global cues battered Indian stocks. The Sensex crashed 430.65 points and fell below the psychological 20,000 level to close at 19,691.67. HT reports.business Updated: May 14, 2013 01:45 IST
Investors lost Rs 1 lakh crore on Monday as a combination of profit booking, panic selling and weak global cues battered Indian stocks. The benchmark BSE Sensex crashed 430.65 points, or 2.14%, and fell below the psychological 20,000 level to close at 19,691.67.
Experts, however, urged investors to hold their nerves. Analysts expect the Sensex to say in the 19,000-20,000 range over the next few months.
"The markets had gone up substantially over the past few weeks and some correction was expected," said Dipen Shah, head of private client group research, Kotak Securities, an investment advisory firm. "Then the fall in the rupee (to almost R55 per dollar), worse-than-expected April trade data and weak Asian/European markets soured sentiments."
India's April trade deficit rose to $17.7 billion (R97,350 crore) in April, on the back of a massive surge in gold imports. This raised concerns that the current account deficit, the difference between inflows and outflows of foreign currency, could balloon out of control and derail any hopes of an economic rebound this year. The spooked market ignored encouraging data showing a fall in retail inflation to 9.4%.
The Sensex, which had reached a 28-month high on Saturday, recorded its biggest fall in 14 months. All 30 stocks lost ground in the all-round selling. ITC was the biggest loser, falling 5.3%.
The broader 50-stock National Stock Exchange Nifty declined 2.08% to 5,980.45. During the day, 1,542 stocks declined while only 808 recorded gains on the BSE.
"There wasn't any fundamental reason for the markets to rise as it did over the past few weeks. Neither is there is any fundamental reason for the crash," said Deven Choksey, MD, KR Choksey Securities, a leading broking firm.

The explosive increase in Internet traffic definitely requires operators to turn their eyes to a flat-based mobile architecture, providing scalable and reliable mobility solutions for future evolved mobile networks. Distributed and Dynamic Mobility Management (DMM) is one of the main enablers to implement the flat-based mobile architecture, placing anchor functions at the edges and providing dynamic mobility activation. In this paper, we perform a simulation study to assess the impact of the DMM strategy, focused on the data plane, in mobile backhaul and core networks. The main objective of this paper is to identify how much DMM can be effective in reducing network stresses imposed on the mobile backhaul and core networks, compared to Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), a widely adopted centralized mobility protocol with excellent handover performance in several standardization bodies. Simulation results demonstrate that DMM is effective to improve packet delivery efficiency and to mitigate the network stresses due to IP mobility support by distributing anchoring burdens and eliminating the need of packet anchoring.

CAROLINA FOREST, SC (WMBF) South Carolina has until Monday to explain how it will make a voter identification requirement feasible for November's election. Right now, voter's must have an identification to vote, but it is not required to have a photo.
The United States Just Department rejected the law that would require voters to have a photo id, and South Carolina State Attorney General Alan Wilson filed a lawsuit.
Three federal judges are considering the lawsuit and have given Wilson until Monday to prove it is feasible.
The federal government has said there is not enough time to educate voters about the requirement and give them suitable time to get the required identification before the election in November.
Residents of Carolina Forest told WMBF News Sunday what they thought of the requirement proposal.
"I think it's pretty obvious that it will limit the ability for all voices to be heard. In my opinion,I think that is against what we stand for in the United States. Everybody should have the right to vote. We shouldn't limit that in any fashion or order," Eddie Brown said.
"You should not have to have a license in order to vote. It seems like some kind of ploy to get political edge," Michael Young said.
"I feel like that's taking a right that the people had all along, away from them," Fred Green said.
But, at least one Carolina Forest resident was in favor of the proposal.
"I just think that everybody should have some sort of identification. Either social security or something. But everybody in this day and age needs identification of some sort," Bob Pagliaro said.
If the law is passed, the DMV will issue free state photo identification cards to voters who don't have one.

Excedrin Production Resumes
As early as October, when you get a headache that big, you'll again be able to get some Excedrin to treat it.
Seven months after voluntarily recalling Excedrin and other over-the-counter drugs—cautioning at the time that bottles could contain stray capsules from other products or broken and chipped tablets—maker Novartis said this week that production of the popular migraine reliever has resumed.
The news will come as a relief to many consumers, as the recall led to shortages and a surge in prices for bottles online, even though doctors say the same analgesic effect can be gotten elsewhere.
A package containing 100 tablets of Excedrin, which normally retailed for less than $10, was recently fetching over $100 on Amazon.com and eBay, even though generic versions containing the same acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine are readily available.
"Even before Excedrin went off market, I would tell people they would get the same effect from non-branded pills," says Dr. Dara G. Jamieson, director of the Headache Center at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Jamieson adds that patients can get similar results by taking a regular pain reliever and drinking a cup of coffee or cola.
"It's expectation," she says of patients who claim a difference between brands and generics. When taken during the onset of a headache, aspirin coupled with caffeine can greatly reduce inflammation, Jamieson tells the Health Blog.
During a migraine, which can last anywhere from a few hours to several days, sufferers can experience a range of symptoms like nausea and vision problems on top of the intense head throbbing.
Jamieson says her patients haven't been deeply affected by the recall because many take prescribed medications called triptans, which she said are more effective but often cost $10 or more per pill.
A Novartis spokesman says the company is excited to restart production and that retail customers are reacting positively to the news.
Anthony Velez, 24, owner of an eBay storefront called AV Media in Queens, New York, says he sells and trades everything from Rolex watches to cars, and branched out to Excedrin.
"It's not a typical line of business," says Mr. Velez, who didn't know about the recall when he was approached by a customer who wanted to sell a bottle of Excedrin for $100 a few weeks ago. "I laughed at him."
After doing some research online, Velez started selling the drug and now has one bottle left for $150 after selling a few this month. "People are asking for it all the time." Velez says it's a "win-win" if people who don't want the drug are able to sell it to those who need it—even at a premium price.
Dr. Lee Peterlin, director of John Hopkins Medicine Headache Research, said that people desperate enough to spend $100 for Excedrin should consider seeing a doctor for their migraines because they may require stronger drugs.
"It implies they may have greater disability," she says. "It would be really valuable for them to have a doctor."

Charleston City Council gave final approval Tuesday of a zoning change that clears the way for a new 462-site residential development on Johns Island.
The vote allows for development of the property around River and Plow Ground roads for a mix of residential, retail, warehouse and commercial businesses near the Charleston Executive Airport. An assisted-living site also is planned.
Council supported the effort overwhelmingly after the Planning Commission voted against it by saying the 462-acre development was too big and intense for Johns Island to absorb.
Council members who backed the plan during the earlier first reading said the site would provide jobs on Johns Island.

Davis Love III highlighted a six-man group atop the FedEx St. Jude leaderboard through the opening round of play in Memphis.
A 4-under 66 that included seven birdies was Love's best round of the season to date. So far, his injury-riddled campaign has included three missed cuts and a withdrawal in six starts, with a best finish of T-29.
The 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, searching for his 21st career victory, found himself tied for the overnight lead with the eclectic mix of Nathan Green, Harris English, Stuart Appleby, Martin Flores, and Glen Day.
Green is making just his fifth start on the PGA Tour this year. Splitting his time between here and the Web.com Tour, he has yet to finish inside the top-30 in any PGA Tour event.
A sophomore on the circuit, English may be ready to claim some hardware. This season alone, he owns three top-10 results to go along with three in his rookie campaign.
The same can't be said for Appleby. A nine-time winner on the PGA Tour, the Aussie hasn't finished better than 35th so far this season.
Flores owns similar numbers, though the native Texan has fared well in that state this year, with a T-10 at the Valero Texas Open and T-14 at the Crowne Plaza Invitational.
And then there's Day. At 47 years old, the Alabama native has played in only one previous PGA Tour event this year, earning a Made Cut-Did Not Finish at the RBC Heritage. On Thursday, he turned back the clock with a five-birdie, one-bogey performance.
That sixsome doesn't exactly hold a large advantage, though.
Just behind them at 3-under 67 are the following 11 players: Scott Stallings, Nicholas Thompson, Jason Bohn, David Toms, Peter Hanson, Tim Petrovic, John Rollins, Justin Hicks, Paul Haley II, Shawn Stefani and defending champion Dustin Johnson.
Since suffering wrist and back injuries following the Masters two months ago, Johnson withdrew from The Players Championship and missed the cut at last week's Memorial Tournament. He posted an eagle and four birdies in Thursday's opening round.

As of 2015, the normal range for blood sugar with the hemoglobin A1c test is anything below 5.7 percent, says the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. The HbA1c test is a blood test that measures the average level of glucose over the past three months.
The HbA1c test is reported as a percentage, and the higher the percentage, the higher the level of blood glucose. The test is also used to diagnose Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, states the NIDDK. Health care providers use the test after the diagnosis of diabetes has been made to determine if patients are meeting their treatment goals.

Call us on 858 345 1761 to start planning your vacation to Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge or take a look at our itineraries to Virungas and northern Rwanda
Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is situated in the foothills of the mighty Virunga's, the chain of 15,000ft volcanoes stretching through Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Lodge is some 3 kilometers from the main entrance to the Parc National des Volcans in Northwest Rwanda near the border with Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The lodge is a comfortable 2-hour drive from central Kigali. The site itself is approximately 1 kilometer from the Park boundary on the gentle foothills of Sabyinyo, one of the most impressive of the five volcanoes visible from the site.
From the Lodge guests have magnificent views to the verdant slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes to the North and over the agricultural lowlands to the South. It is possible to make the short journey to the Park headquarters each morning for a gorilla trek in only a few minutes, and the Lodge is a perfect base from which to explore this unique and fascinating corner of Africa.
The lodge has five cottages, two suites and one family cottage, all offering private verandas, bathrooms and sitting rooms with fireplaces. The rooms have large beds, a dressing room and all have en-suite bathrooms. The family cottage is very similar but has an extra bedroom and bathroom. The main lodge offers the opportunity to relax with both the bar and the dining room with great views from the outdoor decks. There is a library and a games room and there is also a community awareness center, offering more information and advice on the resident gorillas. Set in landscaped gardens, the buildings are made from local stone with terracotta roof tiles, creating a contemporary Rwandan ambience and blending in well with the local surroundings. However the main reason for visiting Sabyino Silverback Lodge is to see the mountain gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park.
Accommodation at Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge comprises five double cottages, two suites and one family suite. All are stone buildings with Rwandese terracotta tile roofs, and feature large sitting areas, fireplaces, stylish en-suite bathrooms finished with Venetian plaster a dressing room and a sheltered veranda. Heat exchangers in the fireplaces provide a plentiful supply of hot water.
Children of all ages are welcome at Sabyinyo Lodge. The family cottage was especially designed with families in mind and is therefore a good choice if you are traveling with little ones. However, it is important to note that children under the age of 15 years are not permitted to visit the gorillas.
Contained within the main lodge building, the bar and dining room has fireplaces to warm them during cold weather, and outside decks for al-fresco drinks and meals during the warmer weather.
A well-equipped shop is situated within the main lodge building.
One of the most rewarding of all wildlife experiences is Gorilla trekking. Gorilla treks take place in the morning and depart from the Park Headquarters at around 07:30am. Also on offer from the lodge are escorted walks, escorted mountain bike excursions and escorted bird watching walks in the local area. Also recommended is a visit to the nearby Genocide memorials to learn about and understand both the genocide and the incredible progress Rwanda has made since.
Location & Directions
Virungas and northern Rwanda, Rwanda
The Virunga Mountain range span Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Parc National des Volcans, known more commonly as the Volcanoes National Park, is located in north-western Rwanda. The Volcanoes National Park on the Rwandan side is lucky to have more than half of the world's mountain gorillas, and is probably the best place in Africa to see them. There are five habituated families of gorillas which are generally visited, having from 7 to 35 individuals in each family.
When to go
Rwanda can be visited at any time of year. There are two annual rainy seasons: the big rains which last from mid-February to the beginning of June, and the small rains from mid-September to mid-December. Rainfall, especially over the mountains, is heavy during these two periods, particularly from March to May. The long dry season, June to September, is the best time for tracking gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park and for hiking in Nyungwe Forest Reserve.

Get Rid Of Those Scratchy Whiskers
Our youngest daughter complains if my husband does not shave. She says she does not like whiskers because they are scratchy if she tries to kiss my husband's cheek or give him a hug. Razor blades are expensive for the more modern style razors, and why do you really need 3 or 4 blades to shave a beard. Getting an old style razor like the fatip at smallflower.com is one way he can save on razor blades and still have a quality razor that gives a clean smooth shave. It will make my youngest happy to see her dad get rid of those scratchy whiskers.

The world of grand opera once seemed wide open to Marcus Haddock.
The Skaneateles-based tenor had performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, La Scala in Milan and the Royal Opera House in London.
In March 2009, his schedule to sing at opera houses worldwide was booked through 2013.
Then, one day that month, he walked into the kitchen of his home to speak with his wife, Kathleen, while she was preparing dinner. He recalls sinking slowly to the floor and being unable to pull himself upright. Haddock was having a stroke. Within 24 hours, he suffered two massive strokes.
By the time of the second stroke, his parents had come up from his native Texas. They realized they might have to make a decision — whether to bury their oldest son here or back there.
Haddock survived but was partially paralyzed on his left side for almost three months.
For the last three years, Haddock has worked to regain his health, physically and mentally.
And, of course, there's his voice.
He has not performed publicly since the stroke or walked into a concert hall. The tenor takes a tentative first step Sunday when he gives a lecture and recital, as a fundraiser for Civic Morning Musicals at Everson Museum of Art.
"I'm hoping for the first time I can sing and have fun doing it," he says sitting in a chair against a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room of his home overlooking Skaneateles Lake. A baby grand piano hugs one corner against the burnt-yellow wall.
"And I'm also knowing it's not going to be perfect in any way and I'm just going to do the best that I can," he says. "If I can just keep my brain focused on it, I'll be fine. I have the strength to do it. I just have to do it."
Philip Eisenman is a former Civic Morning Musicals board member who has become a friend and who is studying singing with Haddock. He has encouraged the tenor to believe that the fundraiser and its setting is the place to begin his return to public performances.
Before the stroke, during a 25-year professional career, Haddock's singing engagements kept him away from home 300 days out of the year. He sang opposite Spanish tenor Placido Domingo in Italy and Germany.
Local audiences heard him sing with the former Syracuse Symphony Orchestra in 1985 and 1987 and also at the Skaneateles Festival in 1987 and 1997.
Thoughts of resuming his career consume Haddock, who is 54.
"I think about it every day," he says. "I just don't know yet what's going to happen as far as whether I can step back into the operatic career. The voice may work, but the body's not there yet.
"You kind of have to have all of it," he says. "So I don't know if the operatic world is going to wait around for me."
He has had to learn to sing again. His diaphragm, soft palate and tongue, all crucial in singing, were affected. "I've had to redo my technique," he says.
Early attempts to regain his voice were frustrating, especially as he prepared to sing a familiar song at a church service while visiting his parents in Texas.
"I couldn't get it. I couldn't get the pitch," he says. "I could not get it to work, and I was devastated. I just thought: What in the world, to have lost this."
Besides pitch, he worked to find his tone, pulse and rhythm.
He and Kathleen, who will accompany him on piano Sunday, were rehearsing with the possibility of a singing engagement at Tanglewood in August 2011 when another problem surfaced.
Haddock experienced pseudobulbar affect, in which stroke victims can cry or laugh uncontrollably and unpredictably for no reason. He knew this would interfere with future rehearsals, so he tabled plans for the performance.
Haddock's language facility, including his fluency in German and familiarity with French and Italian for opera roles, was not affected. During an evaluation to determine the extent of brain damage, he responded to questions first in English and then threw in some French and German words, to reassure himself.
He admits he was showing off. "I wanted them to know I still had some facility, I wasn't stupid."
The once burly singer today walks with a slight rocking motion. He says his left leg has returned to full use. It is his left arm, which he cradles with his right arm, and his left hand that lag behind. He can't open his hand or extend fingers, although he can grip items pretty well.
Problems occur if he carries a bag and takes a step with his left leg. Haddock drops the bag, as his brain cannot tackle more than one activity.
"It requires complete focus on the task at hand," he says. Haddock has been told this timeline for stroke recovery is common.
A confessed perfectionist, Haddock says this trait has had a "backfiring" effect as he has made strides in the last three years.
"I have to make myself celebrate the small ones because the bigger ones may never come anymore," he says. "I think I'm running out of time, basically."
While he waits and works on his rehabilitation, Haddock has been teaching singing. One of his students landed a major role in Skaneateles High School's production of "The Phantom of the Opera."
Her success has brought new young students to his home studio. He also teaches once a week at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
Teaching was never in Haddock's plans. From his days at Baylor University, when he switched from pre-med to vocal studies, Haddock has been intent on a career singing opera. But he's under no illusions about his situation at present.
"I have to try to find a job," he says.
He believes losing his voice makes him a better teacher because he knows how the voice functions and how much work it does when singing.
Haddock and his wife, an accomplished pianist and Syracuse University instructor, have been living in Skaneateles for 16 years. He fell in love with the lakeside village when he first performed at the Skaneateles Festival in 1989.
The couple had lived in Europe for 10 years and decided for professional reasons to move. They considered Paris and Boston but settled on Skaneateles. As long as an airport was handy for his busy schedule each year, Haddock says he could live anywhere.
"Unfortunately, I had no idea of the snow," he says.
During conversation, one can detect Haddock's soft Texas drawl at times.
"I have to really concentrate to get rid of it," he says. The son of a Southern Baptist minister, Haddock grew up in West Texas and played high school football. He says his Seminole High School was mentioned in the 1990 book "Friday Night Lights," by H.G. "Buzz" Bissinger.
Haddock's high school was so small, he often was on the field for the entire game as both a fullback and linebacker. He says it wasn't unusual to play before 5,000 fans on a Friday night. One homecoming, Haddock also split his time in the marching band with his trumpet. He was in a rock band in high school and held a summer job as a radio disc jockey in Frederick, Okla.
Haddock has been forced to give up riding his beloved Yamaha FJ1300 motorcycle and sailing on the lake because of physical limitations. Those are minor losses compared to the looming possibility of never performing his favorites operatic roles, as Hoffmann in "The Tales of Hoffman," Cavaradossi in "Tosca" and Don Jose in "Carmen."
"It's a juncture right now," he says. "I don't want to give it up yet because I like to have that goal out there. I want to dream that dream of coming back and singing that has kept me going through a lot of the depression that I have fought."
What: "The Art of Bel Canto," presented by tenor Marcus Haddock and pianist Kathleen Haddock. Benefit concert for Civic Morning Musicals.
When: 2 p.m. Sunday.
Where: Hosmer Auditorium, Everson Museum of Art, 401 Harrison St., Syracuse.
Tickets: $25, general; $15, students with ID.

Meyera Oberndorf thought she had just been elected to the Virginia legislature. At her campaign headquarters, there were hugs and kisses. The governor called to congratulate her. The only problem: There was still one precinct left to count - and that precinct gave her opponent a narrow victory.
"It was very embarrassing, and I still worry [some 20 years later] about not looking the fool on election eve," says Mrs. Oberndorf, now mayor of Virginia Beach.
Tonight, amid acres of red, white, and blue bunting, candidates across America will be in the same position as Oberndorf - hosting what they hope will be a victory party. There will be bowls of soggy pretzels, roast beef roll-ups, music that's too loud, and TV crews waiting for the candidate to appear.
In many ways, each celebration is an expression of its candidate - with fastidious finger food or down-home barbecue. Beyond that, though, they are also a time when all the emotions of months of campaigning can come to the surface - yielding tears, political deals, and even romance.
Of course, there are parties and there are parties.
Texas Gov. George W. Bush's backers will get more than bowls of nacho chips tonight, as five blocks of Austin are shut down to prepare for whatever happens.
While the returns come in, Bush supporters will be wolfing down fajitas and barbecue. No matter what happens, his campaign says, there will be fireworks. The Gore staff says it plans to work long into the night to get out the vote in the Western states. However, the vice president will address supporters at the war memorial in downtown Nashville. The party, however, won't be as large as the Bush soiree.
That contrast in styles plays out across the United States, from governors' races to congressional campaigns.
For example, earlier this year in New Jersey, after Jon Corzine defeated former Gov. Jim Florio in the senatorial primary, he served shrimp on silver platters, had victory cakes, and a tuxedoed band. Mr. Florio, lacking Mr. Corzine's resources, had no food and a cash bar.
Tonight, Sen. Edward Kennedy's party at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston will probably come down somewhere in between. The fete will feature "nibbles," says Peggy Dray, director of special events and community affairs. "Food is not the big deal."
Whatever the case, tonight is usually a night of high emotion. Rich Cernela remembers working for former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo as a volunteer. He's seen both victory and defeat.
"They were the highest of highs and the lowest of lows," he recalls.
In many cases, candidates have a pretty good idea whether they have won or lost. But the party must go on, even if the forecast is bad.
Mark Gearan, a member of former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis's 1988 presidential campaign, remembers when his candidate lost to George Bush.
"We knew we would lose. We had to put up the best front and game face," says Mr. Gearan.
Most candidates compare losing to a wake. Gearan remembers the morning after with the Dukakis campaign.
"The Secret Service goes, the attendants slip away, the press corps checks out - it's all pretty stark," he says.
IN FACT, a candidate who can make the public feel badly for him on election night can sometimes propel himself into another bid. In 1952, after Adlai Stevenson lost the presidential race to Dwight Eisenhower, his concession speech resonated with the public.
"He said he felt like a little boy who had stubbed his toe in the dark - he was too old to cry but it hurt too much to laugh. It gave him another nomination," says Stephen Hess of the Brookings Institution in Washington.
Winning, on the other hand, presents its own challenges. Paul Helmke, former mayor of Fort Wayne, Ind., recalls seeing people he had never met at his parties. "There are those who would not come unless they sense you are winning," he says.
Just in case, most candidates will have two speeches in their pocket on election night - a victory speech and a concession.
"If a candidate loses they have to figure out how to congratulate the winner - it's real tough since the races can get very personal," says David Schlosser, a Dallas-based former campaign manager.
Mrs. Oberndorf recalls one such hard-fought race. "My opponent called and said, 'I guess you've won.' It was a begrudging concession call."
Once a candidate has accepted his opponent's congratulations, he or she quickly becomes aware that campaign staff members would like to put in a good word for themselves.
"People start to think of the pecking order, they start to posture for potential appointments," says Davia Temin, a public-relations executive who has worked with various campaigns.
And sometimes, good things can happen even when a candidate loses.
Ms. Temin, who had been working with the Dukakis campaign, watched the atmosphere turn sour in Dukakis's personal suite on election night. A man she had worked with went into a separate room and started to pound the wall with his fist in frustration.
"I thought, I really like this guy - he cares," she says. Later, he became Temin's husband.

The Pregnancy Wellness Kit
is designed to help you and your growing baby get the necessary nutrients during your pregnancy and beyond.
Pregnancy is a time to focus on eating extremely well. Even if you are eating a nutrient dense whole food diet, there are times when your diet may be lacking important nutrients for your rapidly developing pregnancy and baby. A leading cause of pregnancy complications is poor nutrition.*
Not only does your baby need a variety of nutrients for proper development, so does your body, so it can maintain complete health for two!
Benefits of the Pregnancy Wellness Kit:
Helps provide important nutrients for pregnancy and the development of a growing baby.*
Whole food sources of protein, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 essential fatty acids.*
Easy to digest and quickly utilized by the body.*
Helps the body to sustain energy levels in pregnancy.*
The Pregnancy Wellness Kit contains:
Baby and Me Whole Food Prenatal Multivitamin
Baby and Me is a 100% whole food multivitamin containing all of the vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy support during pregnancy.

This prenatal multivitamin also contains certified organic herbs, is
easy to digest
and is absorbed well by the body. Four tablets provide whole food nutrients, a nurturing prenatal herbal blend, digestive enzymes and whole food iron.*
FertiliWhey - Unflavored Protein Powder
FertiliWhey Protein powder is made from the finest 100% natural whey available, providing a delicious and easy way to supplement your daily protein. Pregnant mothers require a minimum of 80 grams of protein per day, FertiliWhey helps you to meet that requirement by supplying 16 grams of protein per scoop. FertiliWhey Protein tastes great and is easy to add to any smoothie recipe for a quick protein boost.*
Fertilica Cod Liver Oil
Fertilica Cod Liver Oil is a rich source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Omega-3 fats contain two acids that are crucial to good health: DHA and EPA. These two acids have been shown to help support overall health and development of your baby in pregnancy. Fertilica Cod Liver Oil is also an excellent source of the fat soluble vitamins A and D3, found to play an important role in a healthy pregnancy.*
DHA is essential for proper brain development in a growing baby. *
EPA supports development of the nervous system and aids the body in promoting healthy behavior and mood, which is especially important in pregnancy and postpartum.*

Spirulina is a blue-green algae rich in a variety of key nutrients to help you meet your daily nutritional requirements.

Prevention not always best medicine
The reception to Obama's radical proposal shows both the enduring trauma of Sept. 11 as grounds to undermine American principles — regardless of which party is in power — and the cohesive state of the Democratic-progressive infrastructure.
Obama does not stoke fear of another attack, to his credit, but he still invokes terrorism as a reason to ditch the military justice system that has long served the nation. The response to Sept. 11 was so special, in fact, that some preventive detention backers claim the system would be strictly limited to resolving cases from Guantanamo.
The pledge admittedly has a certain appeal: a one-time exception to put Gitmo firmly behind us. But that is not, of course, how law works. A precedent provides legal authority for an action precisely because it occurred before. And presidents tend to use new powers gingerly, rather than unilaterally abandoning them after one test drive.
Then, there is the missing backlash. The (potential) battle over preventive detention — just like progressive disputes over torture, the public insurance option and economic reform — tests whether the Democratic-progressive infrastructure that has been steadily built over the past eight years will function as an accountability movement or an echo chamber for a powerful presidency.
To be clear, a few legal groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the Constitution Project and the Center for Constitutional Rights, where I once worked, have strongly confronted Obama on detention policy. Some members of Congress, including Feingold and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, have also drawn a line in the sand. In the media, MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow has been on the case, and several progressive bloggers have called out Obama for backtracking on his commitment to due process in closing Guantanamo.
Some of the largest liberal think tanks and advocacy groups have not organized against Obama's detention proposal, however, while many liberal voices in the traditional media have been silent. And the Democratic Congress restricted Guantanamo funding for political posturing, rather than prioritizing an actual sentencing regime for detainees.
Despite all that, Obama officials still worry that preventive detention is too hard to pass in Congress, hence fleeting debate over whether to advance it by executive order. Just imagine how the proposal would fare if everyone put up a fight.

What if I told you there was an office-based communication system that had the following features:
· extremely fast operating speed
· instant updates
· unlimited RAM
· specialises in exposing hypocrisy
· inextinguishable
· completely free!
What if I told you that?
It's called 'The Grapevine' – the informal transmission of fact or fiction from person to person at work. This gossip-fuelled system is one of the most powerful elements of the corporate apparatus. Just because it's underground and unregulated doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously.
The currency of the grapevine is what people actually do at work – not what they say they are going to do. I used to work in Thailand – my boss lived in Australia. He would fly into Bangkok but unlike many of his colleagues he never came directly into the office. Instead he'd go out into what we called the 'field' (normal life) where he'd observe how our customers were using our products – in their own homes. This meant when he eventually showed up in the office he was able to make decisions informed by a first hand and intimate type of intelligence.
The Grapevine across most of the region had his activities monitored and his reputation was quickly and accurately formed – he was a guy who took customers seriously. This was in contrast to desk bound email-wafflers who extolled the virtues of customer proximity but remained cocooned at work.
Whether we like it or not the Grapevine is a 24-hour news service that's moulding our reputation – right now. We invest so much into our lives at work we have to take the grapevine seriously – it's our most powerful personal brand broadcast system. We can choose to feed it with 'activity' or sit back and let it write the script.
I'm exploring this and other innovation concepts in my new book: The Science Of Serendipity – How Large Organisations Unlock The Promise Of Innovation. To be published by John Wiley and Sons in early November.

Andrew Cyrus BEAUDIN
In loving memory of Andrew Cyrus BEAUDIN, Tuesday, April 16, 2002, at the Extendicare York in his 99th year.
Beloved husband of Elizabeth Ann (Betty) SAGLE (predeceased 1977) and Mary SAGLE (predeceased 1983.) Loving father of Linda Ann GILCHRIST (Reg) of Lively. Proud grandfather of Daniel GILCHRIST (Alexia HANNIGAN) of Toronto and Wendy McDERMID (Robert HENDERSON) of Lively. Cherished great grandfather of Jesse McDERMID and Morgen McDERMID. Dear brother of Elsie STERLING (Arthur) (both predeceased,) Eugenia WALLACE (of Sault Ste. Marie) (Ed, predeceased,) Cress (of Sault Ste. Marie) (Clarence predeceased). Much loved uncle of many nieces and nephews. Special loved uncle of Leona and Arden BOCK and Doreen and Alec MacEACHREN (all of Sudbury.)
Andrew was born at Green Bay, Manitoulin Island on November 17, 1903. He survived his share of childhood adventure, but found school to be a "bother" as it interfered with his playtime. Arithmetic in all its forms was a mystery to Andrew but his interest in reading only grew and continued long into his adult life. Andrew and his sisters walked to school daily, but instead of finding the walk tiresome he began to enjoy the beauty around him. Even in his older years Andrew walked almost daily, and continued to marvel at God's creation. In 1928, the Wrigley Gum Corporation offered a prize of $25,000 to the winner of a 21 mile swimming race across Lake Ontario. Andrew entered, but was defeated by the cold waters. He did, however work as a lifeguard and trained in the Humber area and over the next four years raced again in Lake Ontario during the Canadian National Exhibition. In his early 30's, Andrew tried his hand at acting by playing the part of a "drunk" with the Colonel George Cox Players and over the next several years he became an accomplished stage actor. Andrew's true profession was in responding to God's call in his life a call he had felt for some time. In the mid 1940's he became the pastor of the Providence Bay Branch of the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints (Community of Christ). Andrew obtained his Bachelor of Theology Decree and continued to read, write, minister and serve until he could physically no longer do so.
By the time Andrew was 90 he had performed 85 weddings, 72 funerals, 49 baptisms, served 4,800 communions, delivered over 3,000 sermons, offered 101 Patriarchal Blessings, attended 18 world conferences, 30 week-long reunions and over 35 children's camps. His joy was being with young people. They appreciated his wit, wisdom and genuine caring. Andrew took his response to God's movement in his life with great responsibility and honour. He was a man who was much loved, admired and respected and he will be greatly missed.
"Well done thou good and faithful servant."
A celebration of Andrew's life was held at the Providence Bay Community Hall, Manitoulin Island on Saturday, April 20, 2002. Cremation at the Parklawn Crematorium. Arrangements entrusted to the Jackson and Bernard Funeral Home.

Sunderland are looking to send Charis Mavrias on loan but Panathinaikos are not interested in signing the Greek winger.
Reports from the UK claim that both Panathinaikos and PAOK are monitoring Mavrias after Sunderland manager Gus Poyet admitted that he is looking a club to send the Greek attacking midfielder on loan until the end of the season.
But Panathinaikos deny any interest for Mavrias playing down the rumours for a potential loan move before the end of the January transfer window.
It looks possible that the Greek winger will look for a club in England as some Championship clubs in the past have expressed their interest in signing him on loan.

DiamondWrap® Subsea™ Epoxy System
DiamondWrap® SubSea™ is the premier carbon fiber wrap system used to rehabilitate and restore original operational strength to damaged, corroded and eroded underwater piping systems.
DiamondWrap® SubSea™ is engineered to provide strength that enables a submerged pipe to be restored to maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) without shutting down. The system is comprised of the three components, each thoroughly and independently tested at both the university and international laboratory level. The first component is an epoxy primer, which ensures complete bonding and load transfer between the repair and the substrate. The second component and most unique feature of the DiamondWrap® SubSea™ system, is its selection of bi-directional woven carbon-fiber materials, which provides reinforcement in the hoop and axial directions and is the strongest available non-metallic repair on the market. The third part of the binding force in the system is the polymeric epoxy resin, which allows for uniform loading thorough the entire wrap. For repairs that require surfaces to be modified (e.g.: heavy pitting or irregular shapes), the high modulus filler can be applied. These components form a composite system that is stronger than steel. The structural system forms a pipe around a pipe, and each successive wrap increases the pressure rating. Minimal creep ensures a long service life.
DiamondWrap® SubSea™ requires an engineering assessment to compile service information such as substrate material, wall loss, operating temperature, pressure ranges and environment exposure. Because of its wet lay-up and low profile, DiamondWrap® SubSea™ can be installed on tees, elbows, straight runs of pipe, confined spaces and irregular surfaces that require structural reinforcement or leak containment. The adhesive properties of the epoxy allow it to be applied to most substrates. The epoxy must be mixed and applied above water before it is transported underwater to the site of the repair.
- Suitable for subsea pipelines, risers, and piping systems
- Excellent adhesion to virtually any substrate
- Straight length, elbows, tees, valves, fittings, vessels
- Restores pipe strength to MAOP
- Minimal creep ensures a long service life
- No VOCs
- Prevents future external corrosion
- Strong chemical resistance
- Supplied as a complete kit
- Quick and easy installation
DiamondWrap® SubSea™ is compliant to DOT regulation, ASME B31, .8, .4, .G and PCC-2 Art 4.1, 4.2 and API 570. Please refer to API 570, Section 8.1.4 – Non-welding Repairs (On-Stream)

Hopefully it should emit (at level error) in the log a message indication it failed to obtain a column family store, followed by a list of all known column family stores, prior to bailing with the same exception. Is this happening on every node or just one? When did this start - did it start right after a schema change (keyspace addition)?

An air conditioner sleeve is a cover made out of metal or vinyl that fits over the exposed portion of an air conditioning unit. The sleeve helps to prevent bugs, dirt and dust from being sucked into the unit and deposited inside a dwelling.
Many air conditioning sleeve covers need to be installed around the outside portion of the unit. The AC unit must extend at least the depth of the sleeve cover from the wall in order for the cover to be installed properly. The cover should never push the unit against the wall when it is installed.
Most of the metal air conditioning sleeve covers are secured around the protruding part of the AC unit using brackets and screws. The stability of metal sleeve covers also insures that the AC unit does not move around or fall after years of use. The cover blocks drafts from entering the space formed between the AC unit and the wall during colder seasons.
Other air conditioning sleeve covers, such as those manufactured by the company Breeze Blocker, are made of vinyl and are secured to the back of the AC unit using elastic. Whereas a metal sleeve may cost over $100, the vinyl sleeves are significantly cheaper. However, they do not have the same durability as the metal covers and become worn out much faster.

House Republicans are angling to inject a little bit of the Affordable Care Act into the nation's immigration reform debate, discussing a bill that would make purchasing health insurance a condition for immigrants waiting to begin the citizenship process.
While the bill has yet to be drafted and Senate Republicans are likely to object, Politico's David Nather got the inside track on the discussions. He noted that Republicans are moving forward despite the fact that the Affordable Care Act bans undocumented immigrants from buying health insurance through one of the government-subsidized exchanges.
Under the rule being discussed, immigrants would also face the individual mandate in President Barack Obama's signature health care law. However, because of how the law was shaped by Democrats in 2010, undocumented immigrants are specifically denied access to the exchanges.
At the time, Republicans widely believed this was not the case: Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) notably screamed "You lie!" at President Obama during a State of the Union speech to Congress after the president reiterated Democrats' position on undocumented immigrants. Republicans also loudly objected to the individual mandate for health insurance — an idea conservatives created — before their latest effort to apply that rule to immigrants.
If Republicans are successful, the rule would force immigrant families to purchase individual policies without the subsidies offered to American families under the Affordable Care Act, then hold onto those policies during the lengthy wait for citizenship or face forfeiting the process.
Of course, this is not sitting well with Democrats. "You can't ask somebody to buy something they can't afford, then deny them the ability to get any help," Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), a key contributor to the Affordable Care Act, told Politico.
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) disagreed, saying the whole idea is to prevent immigrants from becoming a "public charge" or burden on taxpayers. "It's individual responsibility for these folks to earn their ability to stay in the United States, to work in the United States, and to be legalized in the United States, and a big part of that has to be that they're not a public charge," he reportedly said.

CIA Station Chief in Algeria Accused of Rapes
The CIA's station chief at its sensitive post in Algeria is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly raping at least two Muslim women who claim he laced their drinks with a knock-out drug, U.S. law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
The discovery of more than a dozen videotapes showing the CIA officer engaged in sex acts with other women has led the Justice Department to broaden its investigation to include at least one other Arab country, Egypt, where the CIA officer had been posted earlier in his career, according to law enforcement officials.

School can expel lesbian students, court rules
After a Lutheran school expelled two 16-year-old girls for having "a bond of intimacy" that was "characteristic of a lesbian relationship," the girls sued, contending the school had violated a state anti-discrimination law.
In response to that suit, an appeals court decided this week that the private religious school was not a business and therefore did not have to comply with a state law that prohibits businesses from discriminating. A lawyer for the girls said Tuesday that he would ask the California Supreme Court to overturn the unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal.

Video: Whistleblower: NSA spied on everyone, targeted journalists
Former National Security Agency analyst Russell Tice, who helped expose the NSA's warrantless wiretapping in December 2005, has now come forward with even more startling allegations. Tice told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Wednesday that the programs that spied on Americans were not only much broader than previously acknowledged but specifically targeted journalists.
"The National Security Agency had access to all Americans' communications -- faxes, phone calls, and their computer communications," Tice claimed. "It didn't matter whether you were in Kansas, in the middle of the country, and you never made foreign communications at all. They monitored all communications."
Operation FirstFruits : NSA spied on Dissenters and Journalists?
Apparently, they've also been spying on other members of the government who may have been potential whistleblowers, journalists and even members of Congress.
NSA spied on its own employees, other U.S. intelligence personnel, and their journalist and congressional contacts. WMR has learned that the National Security Agency (NSA), on the orders of the Bush administration, eavesdropped on the private conversations and e-mail of its own employees, employees of other U.S. intelligence agencies -- including the CIA and DIA -- and their contacts in the media, Congress, and oversight agencies and offices.

It appears to be a lopsided battle. Ford's F-Series is the top-selling vehicle in history and No. 1 seller for the past 21 years, and Ford is betting the farm on the flagship F-150. Owner brand loyalty for big pickups is the highest of any category. The Big 3 have 96% market share in large pickups; Toyota, the only import brand available, has just 4%.
But five to 10 years out, import brands' big-pickup share could be "somewhere between 20% and 25%-and that's probably being fairly conservative," said Fred Suckow, director of Nissan marketing at Nissan North America, which in December releases its own brawny entry, the Titan.
Toyota also has clear ambition to expand in the sector, although the manufacturer does not want to overplay its hand. Ernest Bastien, Toyota Motor Sales USA corporate manager-vehicle marketing, said domestics are "clearly in command" of the big-pickup category, adding, "Our aspirations are really somewhat modest by comparison." But not subtle: Toyota in 2006 opens a Tundra factory in San Antonio, the heart of truck country.
"San Antonio economically probably did not make the most sense for Toyota, but from a marketing standpoint it made perfect sense," said Stephen Cavender, who runs a Toyota dealership in the city. He adds: "The plant is easily expandable."
It's no surprise more players want to join the ultimate pickup game. Sales doubled over the past decade to 2.2 million pickups, and models got bigger, fancier and more expensive as the market shifted from work trucks to personal use. While new entries are appearing, category growth has stalled. Analysts don't expect much growth going forward; the use of rebates and other incentives is increasing, and it will be a market share game.
Toyota and Nissan together should command 8% to 10% of the big-pickup category within two to five years, said Jeff Brodoski, analyst with consultancy J.D. Power & Associates.
other challengers
Yet Mr. Suckow's longer-term view is plausible. Nissan's first-year sales target is 100,000 Titans. By 2007, Toyota will have capacity to build 250,000 Tundras. Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor America and American Honda Motor Co. are rumored to be preparing pickups; neither would comment. In five to 10 years, Mr. Suckow said, Toyota could get 10% share, Nissan could snare 7% to 8% and Honda and Hyundai could split 3% or 4%, giving imports a big-pickup share roughly even with Japan's current 22% share of the overall U.S. light-truck market.
Big pickups have been an anomaly, a segment where Detroit faced almost no competition. The big pickup is a uniquely American product; customers, especially in the core work market, have tended to be loyal to Ford, Chevy or Dodge in particular and domestic products in general. Barriers to entry are high: Customers expect numerous varieties of engines, cabs and beds; a 25% tariff on truck imports means a foreign company needs to assemble in the U.S. to be competitive. Domestic brands have a marketing advantage: a long reputation for selling tough trucks communicated with hard-hitting campaigns.
But Toyota's Mr. Bastien noted about one-fourth of big-pickup owners already have an import vehicle in their garage. Mr. Suckow said "the modern truck guy," who uses the pickup for personal use, is more likely to consider an import truck. Japanese companies aren't new to the overall pickup market, having sold small pickups for decades.
Still, to compete, import brands need strong products-and advertising. Rosario Criscuolo, chairman of the Toyota Dealer Council, expects Toyota to do a separate truck campaign. Said Mr. Bastien: "We are looking very carefully at what type of communications we should have to support our trucks," though "we don't want to be in the position where we subrogate our car brands with a truck brand."
No one suggests the Japanese will take over the big-pickup category. "It will take 25 or 30 years before there is parity," said Mr. Criscuolo, a Lansing, Mich., Toyota dealer.
General Motors Corp. is the biggest seller of large pickups if its Chevrolet and GMC sales are combined, but Ford's F-Series is the top-selling vehicle brand. Ford has sold 27 million F-Series since the line began in 1948. F-Series sales last year (813,701) were nearly double those of the top car, Toyota Camry (434,145). Merrill Lynch auto analyst John Casesa said F-150 is Ford's largest single profit contributor with an estimated margin of at least $6,000 a truck.
avoiding glitches
Ford, recovering from financial losses and other setbacks, is laboring to avoid quality glitches that beset its recent launches. The new truck is getting good reviews-and the old version led its segment in J.D. Power's initial-quality and vehicle-dependability studies. Said Todd Eckert, F-150 marketing manager: "There are going to be viable competitors ... but we believe we have the product ... to meet them head on."
Japan is following the leader. Toyota's first big pickup, the 1993 T-100, was underpowered. Its replacement, the slightly undersized Tundra, is solid but not fully competitive with Detroit's best, said Jim Hossack, a consultant with researcher AutoPacific. He said the Nissan Titan is a strong contender, and he said Tundra will get more competitive with a redesign down the road.
All of this is reminiscent of minivans: After their early models fizzled, Japan redesigned the vans to meet needs of American buyers-and took Japan's U.S. minivan share from 9% in 1995 to 30% today. Likewise, Japan was late to embrace sport utilities, but it's since taken about 30%-and is looking to take more.

Is the one who fails to rule by that which Allaah has revealed and bases the entire legal system on man-made laws a kaafir? Should we differentiate between him and one who judges according to sharee'ah, but may rule in a manner contrary to sharee'ah on some issues, because of his own whims and desires or because of a bribe, etc.?
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, we must make this distinction. The one who rejects the law of Allaah and casts it aside, and replaces it with man-made laws and the opinions of individuals has committed an act of kufr which puts him beyond the pale of Islam. Whereas the one who adheres to the religion of Islam, but is a sinner and wrongdoer by virtue of his following his whims and desires in some cases, or pursuing some worldly interest, but admits that he is a wrongdoer by doing so, is not guilty of kufr which would put him beyond the pale of Islam.
Whoever thinks that ruling by man-made laws is equal to ruling by sharee'ah, and thinks that it is OK to do that, is also guilty of kufr that puts him beyond the pale of Islam, even if it is only in one instance.

Today sees the launch of the Standard Format. This new format revolves around a list of characters that are updated every 6 months and only includes characters that were released less than 3 years before the current update (including Ld characters). Only these characters, Leader cards and characters from starter packs will be used in the Standard Format. To enable you to clearly distinguish between characters authorized in Standard Format and those which are not, we've added a special background to each character illustration, which you may have already noticed.
To find out more about the Standard Format, click here.
Happy gaming to you all!

1. Something must be done to limit Skeelz, Vortex and Berserk. Take some cards out of standard.
2. Include some more cards in the various clans in Standard. Right now, not much choice.
3. Elite Pow is wrong about matching similar decks beig bad. His reasoning is flawed. Being matched up with similar decks is bettaer than being matched up with grossly overpowered decks. What is the difference between his exampmle and Kolos and say, Tula? nothing, except a hand with Na Boh could beat one with Uranus, while the one with Kolos and Tula (assuming all other cards are about the same strength) has no chance.
4. ElitePow is however, correct about the CR effect on DTs. It is now hard to get top 150. I used to be able to get in barely paying attention, and with around 150 points. Now, I just got 265, and missed the top 150.
5. Despite what I mentioned in point 4, participation in DTs will inevitably go down. Right now, many people are trying DT out for themselves, to see whether it is any good. Many of those will probably return to elo, survivor, or deathmatch.
6. UR staff, I am assuming will fix many of the problems with this. I think it would have been smarter though, to call this a BETA. Better public relations.
7. I really like the CR DT addition.
CanopusHOA Hero Harbingers of Ares Wednesday 04/04/2012, 23:25
Countinuing from last post:
8. You said that getting into the top 150 multipple times would not increase the chances of a CR. Change that, its wrong. Assuming no one makes it into the top 150 twice in a day, if you make it you have a 1 in 360 chance of getting a CR. However, thats not gonna happen. People ARE gonna get into the top 150 more than once. For every person who gets into it twice, your chances increase. If there are 5, then the chance is now 359. If say 50 people get into it 4 times, then the chance is 1 in 320. For every 5 repeats of a person, the chance increases by one 150th. Still not great chances though. Assuming 150 people get into it an average of 5 times, the chances are 1 in 210.
9. I think that the competitiveness in DT is good. It makes it a bit more interesting, however, I think it might be a bit TOO competetive right now, but as I said, that will go down.
Ivorrr Master Polscy Ziomale Wednesday 04/04/2012, 23:39
I see You have rised the price of full deck pack in the shop...
50creds > 60 creds.
and You didnt mention it anywhere.
CanopusHOA Hero Harbingers of Ares Thursday 05/04/2012, 00:55
Not true, they did. Their reasoning was that there are less cards, so you pay for that higher chance of a card you want. Like how Elite is more expensive than classic or as it is now known, extended.
@canopusHOA, i'd normally make a debate that defends another arguement, or addon to your own, but there isn't much that id disagree with or to add.
I would only disagree with the part of playing frequency. Just because you didn't get in top 150 doesn't mean others didn't. Naturally, it will just rebalance, as more people play, less chances of gettig in. If less people play, more chances. These will go against eachother til finding a central acrivity rate. Perhaps maybe less people will play this than t1... If that's what you mean than i guess i agree. People will go to t2, or should i say extended, for DT
Really outreageous, iff you whant to have "no strategy at all" rooms you can create them, but be sure that you dont drag everyone around.(create standard rooms but keep the T1 and T2 rooms).. what do you mean by that standard stuff?? stars only matter for deathmatch and elo!??!? clans with every card playable and clans with 13 cards playable?!??!? full deck 50 cred - 60 cred and dont even anouce that?? im not buying cred´s anymore.. and dont tell me it´s because of the international economic crisis, a buisness like this dosent have any yearly losses... no excuses guy´s.. no excuses.. im really dissapointed in you...
