» Ice shrinks, birds migrate early in warmer Arctic

Ice shrinks, birds migrate early in warmer Arctic By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent INSIDE LONGYEARBYEN GLACIER, Norway (Reuters) - A Norwegian glacier has shrunk on an island 1,000 km (600 miles) from the North Pole, a usually frozen fjord is ice-free and snow bunting birds have migrated back early in possible signs of global warming. At the tail end of the Arctic winter, polar sea ice extends less far south than normal around the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard in what may be linked to a warming widely blamed on greenhouse gases released by burning fossil fuels. "This glacier is dying," guide Eirik Karlsen said on a visit to a tunnel through the ice left by last summer's melt water cascading through the heart of th...... - 2010-02-07

I work for a UK-based property website.

So I need an online source of UK local newspaper advertising rates going back fifty years or more, where I can find the amount paid per page.

Mittal Steel's takeover of Arcelor has won support from the Luxembourg government, which owns 5.6% of Arcelor. http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41751000/jpg/_41751696_steel203ap.jpg The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, where Arcelor has its HQ, has dropped its previous opposition to the deal, and wants to own shares in the new group. Meanwhile, a group of shareholders has dropped court action to postpone an Arcelor shareholder meeting over a plan to merge with Russia's Severstal. A vote on that proposed deal will now take place on 30 June. The meeting is going ahead after shareholder group ADAM, representing minority investors in Arcelor, said it would drop its request to postpone the gathering.

» Are they real people, fake bidders? who are they?

On ebay there are SO MANY bidders whose name is a letter followed by three asterisks and then another letter. for example j***h or v***k They're everywhere. Does anyone know why they do that? It's annoying and suspicious because usually they have no bidding history.These are not user names. What eBay does is it encodes the bidder's user names as j***k or something like that so that people cannot contact them to try to make a deal or something like that. It is an anonymous bidding name. Don't worry about them, they are legitimate accounts, unfortunately, unless you're the auctionholder, you can't find out anything about the accounts.

Sure you can, however if you get pulled over you will not be able to produce evidence that the vehicle is insured, which means you can be ticketed. It's best to wait until you get it before driving. Why weren't you given one when you applied for the insurance? You would have to call your insurance and stand for hours while pulled over by a cop. Get the paper then drive.You shouldn't. Call your insurance company and they will fax or email you a temporary pink slip that you can print off, and send the real one in the mail....... - 2010-02-07

Just curious. I would assume it's Chrysler as they put absolutely no effort into their products whatsoever. They always just use the exact same engines, the exact same interiors, and share the platforms around the company. Ford sells well overseas, and GM sells well here along with ford. So, who is in the worst trouble? (Most debt?) And, while we're at it, do you think they are salvageable?They don't need a handout that's for sure.

I have always been a big proponent of using wet lens tissue to clean my lenses you know 1 wet one to clean then 1 dry one immediately to dry but now it seems lots of people are trying to push microfiber cloths. My question is this what does everyone use. Also is it good to use a microfiber cloth on a good coated lens (like my 70-200 2.8) it seems all the rubbing it would take to get the stray fingerprint or piece of crud off that lens might damage it.I use protective filters so I don't clean lenses often at all. If one gets dirty I try not to touch it. Blowing air would be my first choice. A brush would be the second choice. If I have to use a cleaning solution, either tissue or microfiber cloth will work.

Hospital Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist (PDF - 2.03 MB) (http://www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/healthcare/hospitalchecklist.pdf) Planning for pandemic influenza is critical for ensuring a sustainable healthcare response. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with input from other Federal partners, have developed this checklist to help hospitals assess and improve their preparedness for responding to pandemic influenza. Because of differences among hospitals (e.g., characteristics of the patient population, size of the hospital/community, scope of services), each hospital will need to adapt this checklist to meet its unique needs and circumstances. 1 (http://www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/healthcare/hospitalchecklist.html#f1) T...... - 2010-02-07

» Taking Pictures in Low Light

Hi all, I was wondering if I can draw from the experience of those more experienced than myself (which is ... pretty much everyone?) I was covering a fairly dynamic event indoors in low light and I was (naturally) forced to use flash. I am not very fond of flashes, so I try to use as little as possible. I only use fill flash rather than overwhelm the ambient. I use my flash on-camera, because I simply can't get to it fast enough otherwise. Even when I try to bounce off walls, ceiling AND use a diffuser to help me with it, I notice that I occasionally blow-off highlights, particularly on faces of people. I shoot in shutter priority with shutter set to the slowest speed I can handhold (1/20 with IS on). I can, of course, shoot with ...... - 2010-02-07

Hi everyone. I now the 70-200 1:4 L IS isn't out yet, but it will be coming out soon. I am interested in buying a good 70-200 lens, but wanted to get everyone's impression on the differences. I was in a store yesteday and compared the 1:2.8 IS vs the regular 1:4 with the assumption that the new IS version of the 1:4 won't be that much bigger or heavier. One thing that was immediately clear is that the 2.8 weighs almost twice as much, if not more. It must change the use of that lens. The heavier 2.8 actually comes with a nifty tri-pod collar that allows a quick rotation between landscape and portrait orientation. My concern is that if I'm dependant on a monopod I will end up getting pretty limited use out of the lens. What would my usa...... - 2010-02-07

US Soccer Manager beta is now out again. The game features the MLS, but now you can play in the Premiership. A-League and D3 Pro Leagues are in the game but you need the password (only for beta testers). Other password-accessible features include multiple seasons and save/load. The game was built around a side-project match engine that I built and the match engine is the number one part of the game. The future of the game will include more leagues, more statistics, and the game will live up to its name and the USA will be the 'primary' league instead of England.

what role did the ecological destruction play in the collapse of the roman and maya civilizaition?If you notice all of the great ancient ruins are located in arid or desert regions. If a drought occurs, especially in an agricultural society the people will starve unless they pack it in and relocate. Many ancient sites were built around the time of the end of the last ice age where regions that are deserts now were once lush with an ample variety of flora and fauna. With glacial retreat, the water became more scarce and rivers, streams, even lakes dried up. The aquifers helped some groups hold out with the cisterns in their fortresses but that resource only held out so long.

These symptoms can occur within days or weeks of the initial exposure to the virus during a period called primary or acute HIV infection.The first symptoms of HIV infection can resemble symptoms of common cold or flu viruses.

» FTP bug

I've noticed a bug when trying to upload files from one XBox to another using XBMC: If there is a "#" in the filename, the filename ends with a space " ", and probably under many other conditions, a FTP transfer fails. File transfers work fine from XBMC Filezilla standalone on Linux. I've also noticed this in the XBMC for Linux version. I'm sure this is just a parsing bug somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look or how to find the code at fault. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.noticed in the xbmc for linux version? good job, as there's no ftp server there ;) in any case, enable the fatx limiter and it should work on xbox. if not its all about libfileZillaThanks for the quick response; I will try ...... - 2010-02-07

It varies depending who's your Internet Provider. The best is to check your ISP website to see price differences.

the recommended tire pressure should be on the inside of the drivers door. (the inside edge where the latch is)Do not go by what the tires says on the sidewall.

If you can't find it I know for a fact that the pressures front and rear recommend tire pressure is 30 psi.Recommended pressures are on a sticker on the driver side door. Open the door, and look between the outside and inside. Slightly overinflating tires will inc...... - 2010-02-07
