She told local Evie Hayes, 68, who admired her outfit: 'I like it but William thinks it is a bit bright.'Cambridge was named after George William Frederick Charles, Queen Victoria's first cousin and the second Duke of Cambridge.For 39 years he was the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army and a powerful figure in the British establishment.

The Duchess told Alison Pizzini, 75, a former midwife who complemented her on baby George: 'He can be a bit of a handful sometimes.'She was also taken aback by rather eye-catching replica ornament of her holding her son when they left hospital.It belonged to Pam McCaroll, 74, from Kati Kati, who is a devoted royalist with more than 1,000 items of memorabilia in her collection.Mrs McCaroll who had driven an hour and a half and waited more than five hours to see the couple, showed Kate the $80-£40 - ornament.'Oh my goodness, she said, is that me?!' Mrs McCarol said.'I think she thought I was offering it to her but I told her that it was the pride of my collection.'I love the royal family, the history and the continuity. When I was younger I used to pretend I was the Queen and stand on our veranda waving.' Stunning: The Duchess dazzled in a royal green Erdem coat which she said her own husband wasn't a fan of.

After walking round the town on the first night Ms Beazley, who had brought no more with her than a toothbrush and some soap, said she had to sleep under the town's Rotunda after it started raining.'But I got cold and had to buy another jacket,' said Ms Beazley, who lives in the nearby town of Kohukohu.She said: 'I've always been brought up to believe that my family was related to the royals through my grandmother's side.'I think they are wonderful and it would be madness to get rid of the monarchy.'My kids even looked like George when they were babies.'I remember seeing the Queen when I was a kid, and all I could see through the legs of the crowd was her handbag. I'll never forget it. You talking to me!

'I thought I had better get here early to get a good view and it was worth it. They were beautiful.'Penny Mikkelsen, 73, said: 'My family just chuckled at me and said, "Oh, mom." My husband said, "Are you really going to go?" I think he thought that at the last minute I would say I wasn't going to go.'There was no way that I would miss the chance to be as close to them as possible.''It's the greatest day of my life.''I just wanted to thank them for what the royals have done for us, particularly in wartime.'The Duchess also shared a smile and joke with two women as she held a red wallet with a mocked-up driving licence for Prince George inside. The Duchess could be seen with a beaming smile as she pointed at the pretend provisional driving licence which had a picture of the new Prince on and a Union Jack flag. Kelly Bidois was overcome with emotion as her eight year-old daughter Amber gave the Duchess a posy of flowers. 'We've been here since 5.30 in the morning but it's been worth it. Kate is gorgeous,' she said.Earlier the Duke of Cambridge used his only solo visit of the Royal Tour to indulge his passion of planes.	Royals in NZ: Kate and Wills go on a walkabout in Cambridge

Nice to meet you: The Duchess of Cambridge extends her hand while fans snap her pic on their camera phonesJoy Verissimo, wife of Pacific Aerospace Chairman Christopher Verissimo took her royal adulation to the next level greeting the Duke of Cambridge whilst wearing a pair of leggings printed with his grandmother Elizabeth II's face on them.The Queen's biggest fan looked pleased as punch as she shook the handsome Prince's hand, whilst making her royal fashion statement.The Duke visited Pacific Aerospace on Saturday morning in Hamilton where he unveiled the world’s most versatile aircraft - the Mark III P-750.There were cheers from the 200 strong crowd gathered outside the production plant in Hamilton as the Duke cut the red ribbon after spending 30 minutes touring the company’s HQ with CEO Damian Camp.The pilot prince revealed that he no longer flies as much as would like, and that there is still plenty of healthy rivalry between him and his younger brother Prince Harry when it comes to the cockpit.'He said there’s plenty of healthy rivalry and Harry likes the fact that he’s a weapons controller while William is Search and Rescue.‘He said he’s still doing some flying but not as much as he would like. He said he would come back and do a flight in the Mark III. He seemed very impressed with the take off,' said Mr Camp.

Lovely ladies: Two women at the event slept over night so that they could beat the crowds to meet the royalsOn display was the latest version of the P-750 which, with its ability to take off from a very short runway and touch down on unprepared landing strips, can be used in a variety of roles from carrying skydivers to transporting humanitarian aid or goods from remote villages in developing countries.Many of the firm's staff and senior management had brought their families to see the Duke and when he arrived for his solo engagement.The Duke received presents – including a miniature rugby ball for Prince George during the visit as well as 'Chiefs' rugby shirts (the local rugby team) for himself and Kate.‘He said George has settled into a nice routine but was keeping Mum and Dad on their toes but they're all enjoying their stay.‘He's got a bonny young boy who is eight months old and he's getting to that stage when he was interacting with things and keeping them busy,' added Mr Camp who gave the Duke a tour of the assembly plant where a red carpet was rolled out ahead of the royal arrival. The Duke seemed delighted to view the latest technology and see close up the Mark III's impressive engine, which allows it to take off and land with a minimal runway. The utility planes are mostly used for operations purposes including humanitarian missions in Papa New Guinea, commercial ventures and agricultural use including spraying crops. On mass: People of all ages gathered by the railings to cheer on the royal duo
Adoring fans: People were literally clambering over each other to see the blue blooded pair'He said this sort of craft would be excellent in Africa,' said aircraft assembler Martin Reid.Dressed in a dark blue suit and pale blue shirt and tie with a poppy pinned to his lapel, the Duke seemed genuinely interested as he spoke with engineers and aircraft specialists. When he stepped into the cockpit of the Mark III he joked; 'Are we going for a test ride?'Sadly there was not enough time in the schedule for the Prince to enjoy the short demo.He did however make the time for two walkabouts and took several minutes to comfort Elaena Camp, Mr Camp’s six year old daughter who was stung by a wasp moments before the royal arrival.'William was very kind and seemed very concerned for Elaena. He wished her better and when he met her again at the end, he asked how she was feeling and told her to get well soon,' said Elaena’s mother Sharlene Camp.The Camp family presented William with a box of gifts including a miniature rugby ball for Prince George. 'William said he enjoys rugby and would be playing rugby with George back at home.'The Duke also received a wooden box filled with pens. The box was crafted from wood from the Britannia by an engineer at the plant and the Duke joked; 'Shall I ring up my grandmother and say "we’ve found the other part of the Britannia?"'

‘Do you find it difficult sometimes? Yes, I'm sure you do, but you're a very brave little girl.’Bailey said afterwards: ‘I was excited to meet a real princess and it made me feel like a princess for the day too.’The Duchess was shown around the building which supports children with life-limiting illnesses and youngsters who have experienced a bereavement or are coping with parents who are terminally ill.While the site has some residential facilities for overnight stays, it is mainly used as a day centre where families can come for counselling.The Duchess had a five-minute briefing with the hospice's chief executive Craig Tamblyn and also a private chat with Sam Ogilvy, 12, whose father drowned two years ago.The youngster used a visual aid to tell the Duchess how he lost his father.Sam said: ‘I told her about my journey by using the sand tray.

There's normally paint everywhere and I normally end up getting some on myself.’Sisters Nicole Keene, 11, and Ashleigh Keene, nine, who are coming to terms with the news that their mother Deborah has terminal throat cancer, chatted to the Duchess.Nicole said: ‘It's good here because it helps us open up and talk about it. Kate was very pretty so it was very exciting to meet her.’Ms Keene, 40, was in tears as she spoke about the support she has received from the hospice: ‘I was given six months to live last September and these guys at Rainbow Place are awesome. They help the kids a lot.’Kate then went into the teen room where she saw teenagers enjoying a game of Pukana, which means ‘big eyes’ in Maori.

Myrina (Aeolis) - Wikipedia
(Redirected from Myrina (Mysia))
Μυρίνα (in Ancient Greek)
38°50′43″N 26°59′4″E / 38.84528°N 26.98444°E / 38.84528; 26.98444Coordinates: 38°50′43″N 26°59′4″E / 38.84528°N 26.98444°E / 38.84528; 26.98444
Myrina (Ancient Greek: Μυρίνα) was one of the Aeolian cities on the western coast of Mysia, about 40 stadia to the southwest of Gryneion.[1] The former bishopric is now a Latin Catholic titular see.
Its site is believed to be occupied by the modern Sandarlik at the mouth of the Koca Çay,[2] near the town of Aliağa in Izmir Province, in the Aegean Region of Turkey, near Kalavas(ar)i.
Myrina was a very strong place,[6] though not very large, and had a good harbor.[7] Pliny the Elder[8] mentions the fame of its oysters and that it bore the surname of Sebastopolis; while, according to Syncellus, it was also called Smyrna. An inscription (Bulletin de correspondance hellenique, V, 283) tells us that Myrina formed part of the Kingdom of Pergamon in the 3rd century BC. For some time Myrina was occupied by Philip V of Macedon; but the Romans compelled him to evacuate it, and declared the place free.[9] Under Roman rule, Myrina was part of the Roman province of Asia Prima. It twice suffered severe earthquakes; first in the reign of Tiberius,[10] on which occasion it received a remission of duties on account of the loss it had sustained; and a second time in the reign of Trajan.[11] The town was restored each time, and continued to exist until a late period.[12] It was the birthplace of Agathias, a Byzantine poet and historian of the 6th century. Myrina minted coins in Antiquity, some of which survive.
Under Roman rule, Myrina was part of the Roman province of Asia Prima and its bishopric was a suffragan of the capital's Metropolitan see of Ephesus. The names of some of its bishops are known: Dorotheus, 431 AD; Proterius, 451; John, 553; Cosmas, 787.[13]
It still existed as a residential see in the 14th century, but was suppressed.
It is now included in the Catholic Church's list of titular bishoprics, .[14] nominally restored in the 18th century.
It is vacant, having had the following incumbents, of the lowest (episcopal) rank :

Letters: Protect children from passive smoking | Society | The Guardian
Protect children from passive smoking
This week the UK Faculty of Public Health launched its campaign calling for a ban on smoking in cars where children are present after receiving overwhelming support from its YouGov poll, showing 74% of the public would support such a ban (Report, 18 August).
The British Lung Foundation launched a petition calling for a ban on smoking in cars where children are present after a Mumsnet survey found that 86% of parents support this ban. This follows the recent report by the Royal College of Physicians, Passive Smoking and Children, which confirms that passive smoking is a leading cause of death and disease in children. The report revealed 22,000 new cases each year of wheeze and asthma are caused as a direct result of passive smoking, and that smoking just one cigarette, even with the car window open, creates a greater concentration of second hand smoke than a whole evening smoking in a pub or a bar.
The Mumsnet survey found that over half of parents questioned were smokers or had smoked in the past. Of past smokers, 5% had smoked in the car with the window open when travelling with their kids. This figure rose to 13% among current smokers. More worryingly, the same amount thought lighting up had no impact on their children.
A number of charities and medical organisations support this campaign, including the Royal College of Paediatrics, Child Health and Quit. The British Lung Foundation encourages anyone who supports this ban to sign our petition at www.lunguk.org. The overwhelming support by charities and the public can no longer be ignored. We call on UK governments to introduce a ban on smoking in the car when children are passengers, so children are protected from the damaging effects of passive smoke.

News Corporation spends £100m on management and standards committee
Team set up to probe alleged illegal activity after phone-hacking scandal is costing more than £1m a week

News Corporation's management and standards committee, established last year to root out alleged illegal activity at News International following the News of the World phone-hacking scandal, is costing Rupert Murdoch's newspaper group in excess of £1m a week and has cost £100m in total.
The expense of running the body – which has passed information relating to alleged phone hacking, corrupt payments to public officials and other potential illegal activity to Scotland Yard – amounted to £76.8m in the year to 30 June 2012, according to accounts filed at Companies House on Tuesday. That figure dwarfs the £17.5m paid out in damages and legal fees to civil claimants over phone hacking and other alleged invasions of privacy.
It is the largest of a string of mostly phone hacking-related charges that together amount to a quarter of a billion pounds that ensured that News Corp's traditionally profitable British businesses – the Sun, Times and Sunday Times publisher News International and Harper Collins UK – ran up an overall loss of £189.4m on turnover of £1.18bn.
The cost of MSC, which is working with lawyers from Linklaters and Olswang, reached £99.7m between 31 June 2011 and 26 November 2012, according to the Companies House filings.
The body, chaired by top commercial lawyer Lord Grabiner, was set up by News Corp in early 2011 to investigate allegations of criminal offences by journalists at the now-closed News of the World, the Sun, the Times and Sunday Times.
The phone-hacking saga cost News International £140.9m in the year to 1 July, according to accounts filed by NI Group Limited, the parent company of Murdoch's UK newspapers.
Part of this £140.9m is the £76.8m costs in relation to the MSC, plus a further £17.5m in claimants' legal fees and damages. The company incurred an additional £46.6m charge in relation to the closure of the News of the World.
Restructuring costs at News International reached £51.6m in the period, the accounts show, including £22.2m in redundancy payments to News of the World staff after its abrupt closure last summer.
The £150m sale in May of News International's Wapping site contributed to a loss on disposal of fixed assets of £65.2m in the year to 30 June.

2. Nowadays, you can find that most of the railway dc dc converters have a several wide ranging functions in the electronic industry. All of these converters are available in different forms having different functions which can be suitable to extreme temperature and different kinds of voltages. You can select the right kind of components only when you will be successful in establishing the exact application that is required to integrate these converters. For example, if you need to use a railway device, then you should opt for railway approved converters. There are many converters that are approved by the railway authority.
3. You know that this is an electronic circuit which is used for transforming direct current from on voltage to other one. It is comprised of an inverter and a transformer. The transformer helps the system to achieve a higher or lower voltage as per the requirements. Interestingly, you can find these elements in other most used electronic devices such as cellular phones and laptops.
4. It is important to connect a rugged converter to electronics devices mainly because of the smaller circuits in these devices having different voltage requirements. These voltage requirements can be fulfilled either by the use of internal battery or by an external power source device. Usually the stored power in these batteries of these devices seems to drain after a certain period. Ultimately it leads to the declined voltage. All know that the electronic device cannot be operated with deficient voltage. The use of a dc dc converter can improve the performances of several electronics devices.
5. Apart from railway converters, there are many other types of converters for different fields such as commercial industry, medical world, surface mounting, chassis mounting etc. These converters are suitable for the applications ranging from 0.25W to 200W.
6. It is highly recommended that you should buy railway dc dc converters which are able to bear UL recognition for the increased safety during the operations. Other fascinating features of this converter are CE and ROHS compliant. When you are going to buy these components from a reliable manufacturer, you can expect the customization to be easily carried out in order to meet some particular requirements. An ideal dc dc converter should use electronic voltage conversion method.
7. If you are looking for reliable distributor of dc dc converters, karate is all set to offer you the best products. admin@karatec.com.au 0414 936 668 http://karatec.com.au/

USER'S GUIDE; Stalking the Mac Thrill of Yesteryear - The New York Times
Technology|USER'S GUIDE; Stalking the Mac Thrill of Yesteryear
Technology | USER'S GUIDE USER'S GUIDE; Stalking the Mac Thrill of Yesteryear
By MICHELLE SLATALLAAUG. 13, 1998
FOR nearly two years, my friend Nancy Bendit has blamed me for persuading her to buy a Macintosh Performa. Her complaints fall into three categories:1. There is not enough cool software to run on the Mac.2. Not enough software.3. Software! Software! Where is the software?Whenever Ms. Bendit brings this up -- to be fair, no more than three or four times a day -- I flash back to my own very different experience with my first Macintosh.On Christmas Day 1992, stuck in a motel near the Phoenix airport, I passed the grim time playing a game called Glider on my brand-new Powerbook 160. Deceptively simple, Glider required the player to pilot a paper airplane through a house, avoiding such dangers as electric fans and burning candles. In some rooms, you had to figure out how to turn on a light switch; in the kitchen, you had to avoid the certain death of a sizzling toaster. Glider embodied all the charms of the first-generation Powerbook: quirky and adorable, it sneaked up and hooked you on its elegant simplicity.What Ms. Bendit needed, I reasoned, was to find a program like Glider, one that would allow her to undergo a similar communion with her Macintosh machine. Would that be possible, given the ferociously anti-Mac climate of software development today? I went in search of more recent Mac programs whose lure might be powerful enough to invoke such an epiphany. Continue reading the main story
On-line stores were the obvious place to start. While retail stores have become notoriously parsimonious about allocating shelf space to Mac ware, big shareware archives like those at Tucows (www.tucows.com) and at ZD Net (www.macdownload.com) do not suffer from space constraints. Although Preston Gralla, the editor of ZD Net's software library, acknowledged that ''the amount of Macintosh shareware has been dwindling,'' the site still has more than 5,000 titles. I asked ZD Net's resident Macintosh expert, Richard Curtis, about his favorite programs, then downloaded and tested three on my old Power Macintosh 7100/66.
One program that stood out was Spell Tools 1.2.1, which creates a floating window on screen. Click on the window to check spelling in any application on your computer. If you highlight text, Spell Tools will read it out loud in a tone that sounds vaguely like Marlon Brando in ''The Godfather.''The verdict: an enjoyable tool, certainly, but not enough to alter anyone's world view. I needed something quirkier.I visited two smaller shareware sites maintained by die-hard Macintosh boosters, www.macupdate.com and www.ualberta. ca/mmalowan. I downloaded Debt Wizard to analyze and find suggestions for eliminating pesky credit card debt, a 401(k) planner only too happy to predict retirement income based on wild guesses about future returns on investments, and My Precious Baby, for recording milestones like the first tooth.
But these programs were teases. Until a user paid a registration fee, the programs were hobbled. A window shopper could sample only a portion of their features. Disregarding the shareware tradition of allowing users to fully test software free seemed to me to be a very non-Mac attitude.On www.trickfx.demon.co.uk, I did find a very quirky freeware program called Ivolution. A snapshot of an abstract image appears on screen, then automatically mutates in five ways. Each mutation includes different colors and patterns. Click on one, and it will evolve in five more directions. This cycle continues for as long as your attention span holds.
I applauded the purely useless but amusing nature of Ivolution. But in the end, it wasn't enough. Perhaps the only kind of program that would have truly transformative properties would be a really good game.
Even in this Wintel-centric world, there remain a few software companies known for their Macintosh games. Freeverse Software, at www.freeverse.com, sells bizarrely offbeat versions of such standard card games as hearts and solitaire. But although I have spent hundreds of hours playing Hearts Deluxe over the years, I didn't think the concept was original enough to qualify as Ms. Bendit's software Rosebud.Ambrosia Software, at www.ambrosiasw. com, sells arcade-style games guaranteed to provoke nostalgia in anyone who ever pumped quarters into a Galaga machine. But after I downloaded and became addicted to two of Ambrosia's longtime best sellers, Swoop (think of Space Invaders) and Bubble Trouble (Pac-Man), my only question was: Where is the new stuff?
''We have five we're working on,'' the company's spokesman, Jason Whong, assured me in a phone interview. ''We have a role-playing game called Cythera that's going to be a lot of fun. And we've got Smithereens, where you're a snake and you have to eat other snakes and you can eat eggs and other stuff, too.''
That game sounded as if it could be just what I was looking for -- a product that melded Ambrosia's high-quality programming with a totally weird premise. When would it be available?
''We hope they both will be out in 1998,'' Mr. Whong said. ''But then, Cythera was announced by the company back when I was still a junior in college, so. . . .''As a last resort, I found the creator of Glider, John Calhoun. In an E-mail message, I asked Mr. Calhoun, who is now a programmer at Apple Computer, if he had written any other Mac games that I could offer to Ms. Bendit.''Scads,'' he wrote back. ''Most of it was not very interesting. But there you are -- Glider looks dated to me now, too. I think games are really for the moment, like bad sitcoms you grew up watching as a kid.''
Dated or not, at least Glider is still available, distributed by Casady & Greene (www.casadyg.com). A new CD-ROM version for the Mac costs $34.95, plus shipping and handling. I will order it for Ms. Bendit. Will it be enough to keep her from replacing her Performa with a Windows machine? Continue reading the main story

Caw. Caw. Caw. The birds near Icela chirp. Well caw. Maybe it's because Icela is angrily flying. Because those stupid white coats had the nerve to change Icela. Making Icela furious. Forcing Icela to shatter. Shatter like Icela was made of glass. I mean siriusly. Icela is made of clay, not glass. Icela hates them. Wants to kill them. Icela will. Because Icela is an avenging angel. And Icela will stop at no cost to murder each of them. "Pretty birds. Icela likes all y'all pretty birds. Icela's a pretty bird now too. So Icela is going to kill people. Do you want to help? Icela could use the help. Especially since people will think Icela is insane and horrid. Because of the stupid white coats." The birds move away frightened by Icela. Stupid birds. Stupid birds who are different from Icela. Icela isn't happy. Icela flies over Manhatten, digging her nails or talons or whatever into Icela's skin. Blood falls over the skies, raining down on the unsuspecting people. Icela begins to miss Jake. How can Icela be so close yet so far from someone Icela loves. Icela's nails are covered in more blood. Icela begins to see dots. Loosing altitude Icela begins to fall. Fall towards a clearing with funny people wearing funny orange shirts. Icela sighs before accepting that maybe Icela will die, insane and away from loved ones. A single tear drizzles down Icela's cheek before falling with Icela. "Goodbye."

Fake FEMA Briefing Costs Official New Assignment
> Gulf Coast Hurricanes Special Report
» Follow The Post On: Fake FEMA Briefing Costs Official New Assignment
Californians who lost homes in recent wildfires seek help at a FEMA disaster relief center. FEMA press officials staged a mock news conference in which the agency was praised for its efforts in the state.
(By Sandy Huffaker -- Getty Images)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's director of external communications was denied a post as senior spokesman for Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell yesterday, becoming the highest-ranking casualty of a fake news conference staged by FEMA last week to publicize its response to California's devastating wildfires.
The flap is not the first time FEMA or its parent Department of Homeland Security has been on the wrong end of a public relations move that backfired. Rather, it fits a pattern in which domestic security officials have mismanaged the public presentation of their efforts, whether those efforts are going well or poorly.
Public relations is an obsession of senior department leaders, who say that public safety and counterterrorism efforts depend on their credibility. But DHS has repeatedly stumbled, most devastatingly when its leaders' reassuring words clashed with chaotic television images of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
In the past year, congressional investigators have accused FEMA officials of suppressing warnings about health problems from high levels of formaldehyde gas in as many as 120,000 trailers provided to Katrina victims. A federal judge accused them of creating "Kafkaesque" bureaucratic hurdles for more than 100,000 evacuees who received disaster aid. Lawmakers have expressed frustration over shifting FEMA statements about the $70 million in food aid stockpiled last year in the Gulf Coast that was lost because of spoilage.
FEMA has also stumbled in smaller ways. It was forced to retract counts of the number of Katrina evacuees in hotel rooms. A federal judge directed it to lift a gag rule on legal-aid lawyers seeking to help storm victims at federal disaster relief centers. Another judge accused FEMA of hiding behind "double-talk, obscure regulations, outdated computer programs, and politically loaded platitudes" in curbing disaster aid.
"It's systemic," said Robert W. Doggett, staff attorney at the Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid office, who has fought FEMA in court over Katrina aid policies. "It's just a symptom of the underlying problem, which is FEMA thinking, 'We're going to do whatever it is we want to do, and we'll tell the public what they need to know, whether they be a victim, another government agency or Congress, and you're lucky to get it.' "
The agency's PR approach has carried a recurrent cost. Since Friday, the fake news conference has been criticized by the White House, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and R. David Paulison, FEMA's administrator. Paulison called reporters yesterday and apologized again "for the inexcusable actions and remarkably bad judgment exhibited" last week.
McConnell's office issued a statement saying that FEMA's director of external communications at the time, John "Pat" Philbin, is no longer scheduled to serve as the DNI's director of public affairs. DNI spokesman Vanee Vines said Philbin will not serve in any other capacity.
FEMA has said it staged the event at its Southwest Washington headquarters when no reporters showed up after being notified 15 minutes before it began. Those invited could listen on the phone but could not ask questions. They were not told that those asking questions were FEMA employees.
Paulison pledged yesterday that FEMA will give at least one hour's notice of news conferences, will not prevent reporters listening in on a telephone conference line from asking questions and will allow only reporters to do the questioning. He also said Russ Knocke, the press secretary at the DHS, will serve as acting head of FEMA's public affairs.
Paulison said that he will impose other disciplinary actions but did not say what they will be. "I need to see who made the decision to do this. I'm not sure it was Pat," he said.
"It's stunning to me that Director Paulison is using his time apologizing to reporters personally," said Sheila Crowley, president of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, an advocacy group that worked on housing Katrina evacuees. "There are a lot of people whose lives have been turned upside down by FEMA's improvisations that should be getting calls from FEMA apologizing to them."
Scott Needle, a Bay St. Louis, Miss., pediatrician who raised early alarms about formaldehyde in trailers, said: "There seems to be a disconnect in its leadership that's kind of lost sight of its mission. . . . It seems that they've been caught up in the bureaucracy and just protecting their own agency."

you aren't allowed to pick someone that knows how you like it cut. You have to pay to do that. And a 'newbie' cut the sides of my hair so short that is stuck out and was uneven. I literally had to glue it with gel to get it to lay down.

IMAGINE THAT IN KILLEEN MALL is BY FAR the worst store in town. its ratchet and overpriced, the clerk today was somefat b in a black and grey dress that was too small for her. her hair is black and choppy and she looks like a 40 yr old hussy. THIS random slore with no customer skills had the nerve to say "we only get a few female pieces a week so everybody doesn't dress as basic as you..." I can see your underpaid sloppy self knows sooo much about business, because that's exactly how to make a sale, right? well oldie, that's all good. Im sorry your 40 y/o self was intimidated enough by a 20 y/o with a banging body who's clearly doing better than your whack self that you had to spew hate.. real women don't have to hate as hard as you do. they appreciate the beauty of another woman, not feel insecure and jealous. you do not have people skills and your the worst example of any business, plus your clothes gross. I WOULD NEVER SHOP AT THIS LOW CLASS RATCHET LITTLE STORE, its a joke, just like its fat old cashier.

The equation expresses the thermally compensated pressure determination as a relation between a derivative of temperature and temperature. When the gauge is placed in an oil or gas well, the equation is used to obtain a correction for the measured pressure from the temperature measured adjacent to the pressure gauge.
1. A method for thermally compensating the pressure value displayed by a pressure gauge, said method comprising the steps of:(a) inputting, into a computer system, an equation which expresses a thermally compensated pressure value as a relation between a derivative of temperature and temperature comprising using ##EQU3## as said equation wherein pe represents pressure error, T represents temperature, t represents time, each ai is a function of temperature and each bj is a function of temperature; (b) measuring the pressure of the surroundings of which a pressure value is desired with said pressure gauge; (c) measuring the temperature of the immediate environment of said pressure gauge; (d) inputting said temperature measurement and said pressure measurement into said computer system containing said equation; (e) computing said pressure value using said temperature measurement, said pressure measurement and said equation; (f) displaying said thermally compensated pressure value on a display device. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:(g) repeating steps (b) through (e) over a period of time; and (h) plotting said thermally compensated pressure value with respect to time on a plotting device. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein said temperature measurement is performed using a thermal sensor in close proximity to said gauge.
6. The method of claim 5 further comprising the steps of:(g) transmitting said thermally compensated pressure value to a control system; and (h) controlling flow from said borehole using said control system to limit changes in said thermally compensated pressure value. 7. The method of claim 5 further comprising the steps of:(g) transmitting said thermally compensated pressure value to a control system; (h) connecting said control system to fluid control valves connected to at lest one adjacent borehole; and (i) controlling flow of fluid into said at least one adjacent borehole using said control system to limit said thermally compensated pressure value. 8. A method for thermal compensation of the pressure value made by a pressure gauge within a borehole, said method comprising the steps of:(a) inputting, into a computer system, an equation which expresses a thermally compensated pressure value as a relation between a derivative of temperature and temperature comprising using ##EQU4## as said equation wherein pe represents pressure error, T represents temperature, t represents time, each ai is a function of temperature and each bj is a function of temperature; (b) placing said pressure gauge in said borehole; (c) measuring the pressure within said borehole with said pressure gauge; (d) measuring the temperature of the immediate area of said borehole surrounding said pressure gauge; (e) inputting said temperature measurement and said pressure measurement into said computer system containing said equation; (f) computing said thermally compensated pressure value using said temperature measurement, said pressure measurement and said equation; (g) transmitting said thermally compensated pressure value and said pressure error to a control system; (h) connecting said control system to fluid control valves connected to at least one adjacent borehole; and (i) controlling flow of fluid into said at least one adjacent borehole using said control system to limit said thermally compensated pressure value. Description
This application is related to application Ser. No. 07/926,097, entitled Transient Temperature Compensation for Pressure Gauges, of Phelps, Cook, and Roszelle, and application Ser. No. 07/926096, entitled Transient Temoerature Compensation for Pressure Gauges Using an Impulse Response for Gauge Calibration, of Phelps, Cook, and Roszelle, filed concurrently herewith.
"State-of-the-Art Simultaneous Downhole Flow Rate and Pressure Measurement Equipment" by G. W. Haws and B. L. Knight, published at the 65th Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, Sep. 23, 1990, describes thermally compensating pressure gauges using a differential equation which is a modification of an RC electrical circuit description. "Pressure Gauge specification considerations in Practical Well Testing", by A. F. Veneruso, et al., published at the 66th Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, Oct. 6, 1991, also describes thermal compensation of pressure gauges using a differential equation similar to the Haws and Knight equation. Both these methods are limited in their accuracy.
The above and other aspects of the invention are accomplished in a system wherein the compensation for temperature effects on a pressure measurement gauge are accomplished by processing the raw measurement signal from the gauge through an equation to produce a thermally compensated measurement, more accurate than the raw measurement. The equation expresses the thermally compensated pressure determination as a relation between past temperatures measured at discrete intervals and a derivative of past temperatures measured at discrete intervals. When the gauge is placed in an oil or gas well, the equation is used to obtain the corrected measured pressure from the raw measured pressure received from the gauge.
The pressure error caused by change in temperature can be modeled by the linear differential equation: ##EQU1## Where pe is the pressure error, T is temperature, t is time, and the qi 's are functions of temperature. A general expression for the solution to the liner differential equation (1) is: ##EQU2## Where pe is the pressure error, T is temperature, t is time, the ai 's are coefficients determined by the derivative of past temperatures taken at discrete intervals and the bj 's are coefficients determined by past temperatures taken at discrete intervals.
This equation provides an error function of temperature history that can be treated as a filtered version of that history. The coefficients for a finite response linear filter can be determined by a least squares fit in the time domain from carefully measured pressure errors and temperature data. This filter can then be excited by any given temperature profile to generate an error model that can be used to correct pressure readings.
The equation provides the basis for an (n+1)(m+1)-dimensional linear least squares fit. Before the equation can be applied, each of the coefficient values for ai and bj must be determined. The coefficients are determined using a calibration method, which can be performed with any set of time, temperature, and pressure error data. A linear least squares fit of the model can be found by several standard methods. The accuracy of the calibration is determined by the amount of data collected, and the temperature range over which this data is collected.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the system necessary to perform the calibration operation described above. Referring now to FIG. 1, a pressure tank 102 contains the gauge of the present invention 104, a pressure measurement standard gauge 106, and a temperature measurement standard gauge 108. Signals 110, 114, and 112 from these three instruments are connected to a measurement system 116. The measurement system 116 collects the information from the three gauges, converts the raw frequency data into temperature and pressure measurements, and sends these measurement parameters 118 to a processor 120. The processor 120 takes the measurement parameters 118 and the transient temperature equation 124, which is equation (2) described above, and computes the coefficient values 122 for the coefficients ai and bj.
FIG. 5 shows a chart of the pressure error, pressure adjusted by equation (2), and corrected pressure in a typical measurement after being compensated by the present invention. FIG. 5 was created by using twenty terms for each of the ai and bj coefficients. Referring now to FIG. 5, three pressure error signals are shown. Chart line 504 is the pressure error that results from the measured pressure from the gauge 104. Chart line 506 shows the pressure error as would be predicted by the transient temperature equation 410. Chart line 502 shows the difference between these two signals which is the corrected measured pressure signal 408.

Phone-hacking charges meet with sound of silence from News Corp
Rebekah Brooks – one of those charged over phone hacking – was one of Rupert Murdoch's closest confidants

Tuesday 24 July 2012 15.01 EDT
When asked to respond to the charges, News Corp said it had no comment; as indeed did News International. It fell to Rhodri Davies QC, representing News International at the Leveson inquiry, to say "the voicemail hacking at the News of the World was profoundly wrong and is deeply regretted by News International", although much of his closing statement on the last day of hearings was taken up with defending the reputation of Murdoch on other subjects raised by the inquiry, in particular whether there were any backroom deals between the media tycoon and the top politicians of the day.
"The question is whether they sold their souls to Mr Murdoch or News International or to some other faction of the press. An answer came to that question, and it was a unanimous and vehement no," Davies concluded.
That, though, was hardly the critical issue of the moment.
It may be obvious, but bears repeating, that Brooks was one of Murdoch's closest confidants – his "top priority" when the hacking crisis first broke. She was the woman who became editor of the Sun in 2003 and chief executive of NI in 2009. Coulson may not have been quite as close to the man at the top, but the News Corp mogul took a close personal interest in all his London newspapers, and while he may have typically only called Brooks's successor as the Sunday tabloid's editor once a week on a Saturday night, he expected all his editors to be on hand on during his regular visits to London.
That did not stop Murdoch describing the News of the World as "less than 1% of our company" last year although the hacking and other ensuing cases are consuming a far larger proportion of his legal team's time and shaping its company strategy.
The media group's response to the business is increasingly being controlled by US lawyers, headed by newly appointed general counsel Washington lawyer Gerson Zweifach, no obvious sentiment for the UK. They have handed over much of the relevant evidence to the police – with the exception of notebooks previously taken by police from Mulcaire. That will give the company its own view on what may be to come and help it decide how it will attribute past and any future liabilities as it tries to cauterise the damage done by the hacking affair by spinning off its newspapers.
Murdoch told the Leveson inquiry that he was "misinformed and shielded" from what was going on at the News of the World and did not know of the scale of alleged hacking until late 2010.
Those charged may also ultimately be acquitted, but for the moment the 81-year-old remains uncomfortably close to some in that group ahead of the trials to come.

Do Britain’s gunless bobbies provide answers for America’s police? - The Washington Post
Do Britain’s gunless bobbies provide answers for America’s police?
New recruits to the Metropolitan Police Service stand en masse at Hendon Training Centre in London. Very few of them will ever carry a firearm. (Rob Stothard/Getty Images)
LONDON — To join the few and the proud who police Britain’s streets with a gun, first you have to walk the beat unarmed for years.
Then there is the rigorous selection process — an unforgiving complement of fitness tests, psychological appraisals and marksmanship exams. Finally, there is the training, which involves endless drilling on even the most routine scenarios.
“They rehearse those situations like a SEAL team trying to get into Osama bin Laden’s compound,” Cambridge University criminologist Lawrence Sherman said.
Yet, in a country where the vast majority of police officers patrol with batons and pepper spray, the elite cadre of British cops who are entrusted with guns almost never use them. Police in Britain have fatally shot two people in the past three years.
That’s less than the average number of people shot and killed by police every day in the United States over the first five months of 2015, according to a Washington Post analysis.
As the United States reckons with that toll — and with the constant drip of videos showing the questionable use of force by officers — lightly armed Britain might seem an unorthodox place to look for solutions. But experts say the way British bobbies are trained, commanded and vigorously scrutinized may offer U.S. police forces a useful blueprint for bringing down the rate of deadly violence and defusing some of the burning tension felt in cities from coast to coast.
Of course, British and U.S. police are patrolling different societies. The United States has some of the world’s loosest gun laws and some of the highest rates of gun ownership.
Britain is the opposite, with handguns and assault rifles effectively banned.
That inherently changes the way police officers do their jobs.
Phil Palmer was a British police officer for 15 years and was stabbed twice in the line of duty.
“But in all my time, I never expected to have to deal with anyone with a firearm,” he said.
During a year in the United States teaching and working with New York City police officers, he quickly realized that they had a very different expectation.
“They were very professional. But every time they got out of their car to talk to someone, their hand would hover over the gun,” said Palmer, now the co-director of the Institute of Criminal Justice Research at Britain’s University of Southampton. “Police in America are more aggressive, and I think that’s because they have to be.”
But there are also enough similarities that the British model carries special relevance. Like the United States, Britain is large, urbanized, democratic and diverse. Police have to reckon with gang violence, organized crime and Islamist extremists, all amid persistent allegations that they unfairly target minority communities.
That puts Britain in a different class than the handful of other nations that largely forgo firearms when policing, including New Zealand, Iceland, Ireland and Norway.
Few here would argue that the United States should adopt Britain’s nearly firearms-free approach. But as increasingly horrified British officers and commanders have watched videos of American police officers firing on civilians, they say they hope that some of their strategies and practices can be translated across the Atlantic.
Sir Peter Fahy, chief of the Greater Manchester Police, commands 6,700 officers — just 209 of whom are armed. Those authorized to carry guns, he said, face extremely tight protocols governing when they can be deployed and under what circumstances they can fire. Shooting at moving vehicles, at people brandishing knives and at suspects fleeing a scene are all strictly forbidden except under extreme circumstances.
“It’s very controlled,” he said. “There’s a huge emphasis on human rights, a huge emphasis on proportionality, a huge emphasis on considering every other option.”
All officers, he said, are taught to back away from any situation that might otherwise escalate and to not feel that they have to “win” every confrontation.
“I constantly remind our officers that their best weapon is their mouth,” he said. “Your first consideration is, ‘Can you talk this through? Can you buy yourself time?’ ”
That mantra helps explain why, across England and Wales over the past decade, there has been an average of only five incidents a year in which police have opened fire.
So, too, does the stringent screening process. Officers must serve for years before they can apply to carry a gun, and the selection of those deemed worthy is intensely competitive.
When Mark Williams applied to be a firearms officer in 1995, he was among a group of 16 who started the grueling regimen of physical and psychological trials. Three made it.
Williams was among them, but that wasn’t the end of the testing. He and his fellow firearms officers faced regular drills challenging them to find creative ways out of confrontations and spent long nights at the shooting range to upgrade their marksmanship.
“If you fired the kind of rounds we did, you’d be bankrupt,” said Williams, who is now chief executive of the Police Firearms Officers Association. “We can put a lot of effort into the ones who are armed, because there aren’t that many.”
Some aspects of British policing are more easily transferrable. Sherman, the Cambridge criminologist, recently told a White House task force that the United States should create a national college of policing, that states should set up police inspectors general to provide oversight and that local police forces should merge to achieve a minimum standard of 100 officers per department. All are steps, he said, that have worked in Britain.
Of course, police shootings here can still arouse intense debate. One of the most prominent came in 2005, when a Brazilian electrician, Jean Charles de Menezes, was mistakenly identified as a would-be suicide bomber and shot nine times in the head by elite officers in a Tube station in London.
Prosecutors chose not to charge anyone with his killing, a decision his family is challenging this week at the European Court of Human Rights.
In 2011, police shot dead a 29-year-old black man, Mark Duggan, prompting several nights of riots across London. An inquest later ruled the killing had been lawful because police had ample reason to believe that Duggan was armed. But rights groups say the killing, and others like it, raise questions about police practices that echo concerns in the United States.
“They may well be fewer here, but they raise similar issues,” said Deborah Coles, co-director of Inquest, an advocacy group.
Still, there is little doubt that Britain has a more uniform and transparent process for reviewing such cases.
Every police killing here is subject to an independent inquiry, and even nonfatal shootings are meticulously tracked and evaluated.
Sir Denis O’Connor, a former police chief who later served as a royally appointed independent overseer of British police work, said cops here take seriously the idea of “policing by consent.” They see themselves as working for the public, he said, rather than for the state itself.
They also know that someone is always looking over their shoulder.
“The cops here tend to fear getting it wrong and being criticized by a judge,” he said. “Cops in the U.S. fear getting shot. Those are two very different worlds.”
