WEBSTER CITY – The Boone volleyball team is one win away from the state tournament after knocking off Webster City during Thursday’s Class 4A regional semifinal.
“We just rose to the occasion and played with big hearts,” Boone coach Heidi McPartland said.
The Toreadors (25-18) brought down the No. 13 Lynx (24-10), winning 25-21, 16-25, 25-21, 26-28, 17-15.
“This is the best game I think we’ve played,” Boone senior Gabby Woods said. “I think it took all of us. We love all of each other.”
Trusting in one another, the Toreadors battled to the finish.
“We relied on each other and everybody stepped up,” said junior Mariah McPartland, who led Boone with 32 kills and seven blocks. “We were on six cylinders the whole game. We pulled each other up and were completely positive.”
Junior Serena Sandvig slammed 15 kills and recorded a team-high 31 digs. Junior Bailey Schminke provided five kills and senior Katy Lewis added four kills. Woods finished with three kills and senior Taylor Johnson contributed two kills.
Junior Carrie Overland also had a kill as the Toreadors recorded a .141 team hitting percentage, connecting for 62 kills with 33 errors in 206 attack attempts.
Boone converted on 105 of 109 serves, ending the match with a .963 serve efficiency. Mariah McPartland, Overland and Lewis each tallied ace serves.
Woods handed out 27 assists and Overland turned in 23 assists. Lewis closed out the night with four assists and Mariah McPartland contributed three assists.
Lewis collected 29 digs and Mariah McPartland came away with 19 digs. Senior Jenni Behn worked the court for nine digs and Woods added eight digs. Overland contributed seven digs while Schminke and Johnson had two digs each.
Boone switched its defense this week and it helped in the upset win.
“It was amazing,” Mariah McPartland said. “It’s a complete change.”
The Toreadors fought at the net for 24 blocks. Sandvig posted six blocks, Schminke and Woods battled for four blocks apiece and Lewis contributed three blocks.
“Our middle-backs aren’t having to read as much,” Mariah McPartland said. “We just had to take a couple steps and be ready for the ball. Our blockers are owning up to it. They’re getting to where they need to be and they’re helping us out a lot more.”
Boone led 25-21 in the fourth set, but watched the Lynx rally to force a fifth set.
The pressure was on the Toreadors once again in the fifth set. One point away from victory, they led 14-10 before they saw Webster City even the score.
“We were ready for this,” Woods said. “We took it point by point.”
Boone’s players kept their composure and didn’t let the intensity hinder their performance.
“That last set, I didn’t even look at the score. I didn’t even know that it was game point,” Mariah McPartland said. “That pressure is great, but when you look at each other, it makes it a lot smaller.”
The Toreadors dug deep, never folding with their season on the line.
“I have an amazing group of girls,” Heidi McPartland said. “They just don’t know what quit means. They just keep going and going and fighting.”
It was a marathon match, physically draining players on both sides. Boone wouldn’t give up.
“I don’t think there was much left out there, but they just gave every ounce of energy they had to finish,” Heidi McPartland said. “I’m so proud of them.”
The Toreadors are having their best season since 2007. They finished with a 27-12 record that year. Boone is now one win away from its first state tournament appearance since 1999.
“We didn’t know how we were going to do this season at all,” Heidi McPartland said. “To get to be playing to go to state, what an honor and what a gift that is to us.”
Advancing to Tuesday’s regional championship, the Toreadors are not looking past their opponents and are ready to take on No. 6 Charles City (38-6) at Clear Lake in a 7 p.m. matchup.
“We’re not looking into the future because we’re not going to worry about it,” Mariah McPartland said. “We’re going to let God control it and hang on to each other.”
Boone’s five seniors are loving every moment of the postseason run.
“This is the world to me,” Woods said. “This is part of the plan.”
Woods thinks her team’s best performance is yet to be seen.
“We haven’t peaked yet,” Woods said.
Faith in each other is what’s helped the Toreadors reach new heights.
“I believe in everybody and I know what we’re capable of,” Mariah McPartland said. “We’ve just got to keep believing in each other.”
Boone’s players know what it takes to work together and are eyeing another upset when they collide with the Comets on Tuesday.
“They work well together,” Heidi McPartland said. “They have a lot of great chemistry together and they just don’t want the season to end. We’re going to rise to that challenge on Tuesday night.”

Historian Documents The Hard-Won Existence Of Israel
By John Ostapkovich
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A new history of Israel has made waves from the get-go because it doesn’t go all the way back.
Historian Anita Shapira, of Tel Aviv University, admits straight-away that Israel: A History covers only the development of the modern Jewish state, starting with pogroms that drove many Jews from Russia beginning in 1881.
The British Protectorate provided an umbrella for nation-building and a welcome alternative for Jews under threat in 1930’s Europe.
“Here came an immigration of people not only in need but also with education, tools of building an economy, and a culture, and they brought enormous human capital,” Shapira said.
She looks at her own family, now with third-generation Israelis, as proof it has taken root.
“There is enormous power in the very fact that the state exists, and it creates its own magnetic power for people to love in it and stay in it.
World War Two, of course, brought the Holocaust, but Shapira says the State of Israel was founded shortly after, not because of it, but in spite of it.


Africa faces an epidemic of cancer, health ministers were told at a conference in London.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer predicts 16 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed around the world each year by 2020, up from 11 million in 2000. The agency said 70 percent of those cases will be in poorer countries, the BBC reported.
Alan Milburn, a former British health minister who is leading the conference, told the BBC in an interview that thousands of people in Africa die every day suffering from pain that could be relieved with a few painkillers.
"The basic infrastructure and resources to cope with the new health epidemic is basically not there and we have to do something about it," Milburn said. "We know that there is a steam train that is coming down the track and we have a choice -- we can wither, build some new track or we can wait for the train to hit us."
In some African countries, cancer cases are increasing because people are living longer. In some others, the HIV epidemic that has brought life expectancy down has caused a higher rate of cancer in people with weak immune systems.

Drivetime With Vinnie Richichi-First Impression: 2013 Mazda CX-5 Crossover With Skyactiv Technology
To fuel your love of cars,
visit the Autos section.
PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) — The compact crossover market is a crowded one. Small families want cars that have the room of a Sports Utility Vehicle, all-wheel drive and car like driving features including gas mileage. Most folks that buy an SUV never go off the pavement and the compact SUV is designed to stay on the road and keep out of the woods.
The latest edition of the Mazda CX-5, the 2013 CX-5 fits the criteria above nicely and adds a very big bonus…sports car DNA! The CX-5 actually is fun to drive. Peppy, tight, responsive with solid steering and excellent road manners the CX-5 gives you a combination of attributes that you just don’t find in this class of car!
The CX-5 with SkyActiv technology I drove for a week was about as roomy as it gets in this class with a total length that was just short of its big brother the CX-7. That meant plenty of room behind the seats and good rear seat leg room as well.
Gone is the old Mazda smiling grille in favor of a more conservative toned down front look. The flowing lines of the Mazda fit well with its brother and sister cars and id quite pleasing to the eyes. Interior material quality was high end. I was especially fond of the seating position which hovered higher than a car but lower than an SUV. Hit me as just right!
Only real problem was visibility out of the quarter windows…make sure you get the back-up camera…you are going to need it.
SkyActiv Technology is Mazda’s name for getting everything they can power and mileage wise out of their four cylinder engine. The CX-5 has one engine choice, a 155-horsepower 2.0-liter four that produces 150 lb-ft of torque, mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic. The six speed manual in the car I drove was sharp, concise and slipped in and out of gears easily. All-wheel drive is available with all trim levels but only with the automatic transmission.
This results in spectacular fuel economy for an SUV, with both front-wheel drive versions rated at 29 mpg combined by the EPA, and 28 mpg for the all-wheel drive model.
First impression on the road is that the Mazda keeps you engaged, interested and makes you feel like you are part of the driving experience as opposed to pushing an appliance. Steering is concise, handling is athletic and the ride gives you good feel of the road without jarring your kidneys. There is more than just a bit of engine noise in the cabin but I’m thinking most families that are driving this car are going to have the DVD or ipod cranked up.
The version I drove stickered at $20,995 and as I said before, mileage 26 city 35 highway for a combined mileage of 29 mpg.
Word is that there is a diesel version on the way for 2014.
When you look at the other cars in this class…Ford’s Escape, Toyota’s RAV 4, Honda’s CR-V and the Chevy Equinox they all have great features but none of them deliver the driving experience that the CX-5 does. If you are looking for economy, space and connection to your car the CX-5 should be at the top of your shopping list!

Ryan Spooner’s second career NHL game will be one to remember.
The 21-year-old center will line up Tuesday night between wingers Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton, replacing the injured David Krejci (knee) in what amounts to his biggest opportunity at the NHL level to date.
“We’re giving him an opportunity to be a real good centerman playing between some really good players,” Boston head coach Claude Julien told CSNNE.com. “He’s a great play-maker, so it’s a great chance for Spoons to take and we’ll see how it works out.”
Spooner, Boston’s second-round pick (45th overall) at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, is having a stellar season with AHL Providence, leading the team in points (45) and assists (33).
He’ll get a chance to reprise that offensive role with the Bruins. Horton sits third on the team in goals, with eight, while Lucic sits third on the team in assists, with 13.
Spooner made his NHL debut back on Feb. 6 — a 2-1 win over Montreal — but played sparingly, getting just eight shifts for 5:29 of ice time. He only played two shifts in the second period and just one in the third (which was a mere 29 seconds long).
Julien wasn’t promising much more than an opportunity for Spooner this time around, and said he wasn’t married to keeping the former OHL scoring sensation with Lucic and Horton all night.
That said, expectations are high.
“If it’s not working out then we can make some changes,” Julien said. “But we’ve seen him enough to think he’ll be a good fit there.”

HOUSTON --It's been one month since the rodeo ended in tragedy when a man died on a carnival rollercoaster, and now we've learned a federal investigation is underway. For weeks, rodeo and carnival officials have insisted nothing is wrong with the ride. Now the government wants to make sure of that. In years past, when the Hi-Miler was disassembled after the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, it headed to another fair. But now we know the rollercoaster is sitting in pieces at the owner's offices in Arizona. Ray Cammack Shows, or RCS, tells us it's not in operation. Attorney Joe Stephens thinks it should never be again. "Somebody's got to do something or the ride's got to be shut down," Stephens said. Ever since 47-year-old Brian Greenhouse fell to his death from the rollercoaster on the last day of the rodeo last month, Stephens, who has sued RCS before, has joined the call for a major safety investigation. The rodeo, RCS and attorneys for Greenhouse's family have already had their experts look at the ride. Now the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is joining in. "I said we'll meet with you at any time and any place," Stephens said. Stephens was contacted by an investigator Thursday and will be by his friend's side when she's questioned next month about what she called a near-death experience on the Hi-Miler two years ago. In a letter to the state, she wrote "the handle popped straight up," leaving her and her four-year-old daughter virtually unattached. She wrote she was "screaming, my daughter was crying" and they were hanging on "for dear life." In response to the federal safety investigation, RCS told us, "The U.S. government has jurisdiction over portable rides so this is normal practice and we are cooperating fully." The rodeo's Leroy Shafer says, "We welcome any analysis of the equipment. We have provided a tremendous amount of information already and will continue to do so." The Consumer Product Safety Commission issues safety advisories to state officials responsible for ride inspections. But if one is deemed unsafe, they can issue a recall. Greenhouse's family and friends are still deep in mourning. Stephens hopes no one else ever feels their same pain. "When you get on a rollercoaster ride there should be no reason for a person to be ejected," Stephens said. Citing pending litigation, the rodeo won't say whether the Hi-Miler will return next year. The attorney for the Greenhouse family says that they are pleased that after a handful of officials and unofficial complaints, the feds are finally looking into the ride. Meanwhile, Houston police are continuing their investigation into the death. Because the accident happened on the last night of the rodeo, the coaster was never actually taken out of service during the carnival. The carnival's next stop was the Pima County Fair, which is underway right now in Tucson Arizona RCS says the rollercoaster is not in operation and we checked with the fair -- organizers confirm it's not there. But a quick check of the RCS website shows the company still features the Hi-Miler on its site as one of the many rides it offers around the country.


He's part of a quiet revolution sweeping the French wine business, the world's largest and fighting to stay that way.
France's goal: to hold off New World winemakers that have wooed wine lovers and gained market share with jazzy marketing campaigns, helpful information on what's inside the bottle, and quality assurances that some French wines lacked.
Screw tops, boxed wines, colorful easy-to-understand labels and sophisticated marketing - innovations pioneered by countries like Australia and South Africa - are making inroads in tradition-bound France, even if many still sneer.
"We didn't see the danger coming from the New World - where competition came with a completely new approach to wine making," said Renaud Gaillard, deputy head of the French Federation of Wine and Spirits Exporters.
"Finally we understood we had to change not only production but also the way the product is presented. We had to make the buying process easier."
La Cote Saint Jacques serves Chablis Grand Cru Reserve de l'Obedience at $326 with a screw-top cap. It is the most expensive wine made in the Laroche vineyards in nearby Chablis and isn't available with a cork.
Laplanche said he was initially reluctant to give up the showman part of his job - uncorking a bottle - but was won over by the taste and prospect of no more wines that are spoiled by premature oxidization - "corked," in wine parlance.
"It takes away the charm of opening the bottle, smelling the cork," he said. "But it's very frustrating when a wine is corked. Screw tops are a more sure way of preserving the wine."
The screw-top shake-up was inspired as much by practical considerations as by consumer preference. Increased demand on cork suppliers has forced manufacturers to harvest immature cork, which some suspect causes the oxidization.
While some argue that wines requiring more oxygen as they age require an old-fashioned cork, many winemakers are turning to more reliable seals for all but their heaviest reds.
Back in 2001, a bleak report on the state of the French wine industry written for the Agriculture Ministry urged winemakers to lose the snobbish attitude and be more attentive to consumers. The 80-page document included a five-point lesson in marketing for beginners: product, price, promotion, packaging and place.
"A logic of marketing didn't exist before," said Gaillard.
"We started talking about marketing of the offer and marketing of the demand - terms which are quite unbelievable for wine - but we now know what they mean."
Since then French producers have taken steps to make their wine more accessible.
Bottles are starting to look different. Some old-fashioned labels with grainy pictures of wine chateaux are going out, replaced with bright colors, brand names and innovations once unheard of such as printing directly onto the bottle.
Small producers are combining to market their wines. The pink butterfly embedded in the bottle of Fruite Catalan has helped make Vignerons Catalans en Roussillon - three groups of producers who together created the brand - an export hit. Their wine also is winning awards at home.
Crucially, grape varieties are making regular appearances on wine labels as French producers accept that most international consumers are more interested in the grapes, rather than what estates or vineyards they're from.
This is helping France's wine and spirit industry reverse decades of decline. Last year the industry exported nearly $15 billion worth abroad, a record and an increase of nearly 7 percent year-on-year.
Success stories include "French rabbit," the brand name for wines cultivated from pinot noir, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon and merlot grapes in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France.
The vintage-dated, appellation-specific wine comes in bright-orange cartons with screw-top closures - and the 250 milliliter version even comes with a straw.
Introduced in 2005 on the Canadian market in both glass bottles and cartons, the carton version was within a month outselling glass bottles by 21 times.
However, it's the use of screw-tops for quality wines that have come to symbolize the changes taking place in the ultra-conservative world of French wines.
Michel Laroche, whose family has been tending Chablis vineyards for five generations, began experimenting with them in 2001 after a harvest of bad quality corks. A year later he became the first French producer to offer screw tops on grand cru wines - a label reserved for the best vineyards.
He says screw tops are a better solution than synthetic corks, which sometimes leave air pockets or gaps and can be hard to remove.
As well as cutting out returns of corked wine, the switch has been good for business, he said. In Quebec, Laroche introduced screw tops in 2004 and boosted sales by 15 percent in one year.
Wine lovers were won over when they saw quality wines being sold with a screw top.
"If you want people to believe you then you have to start with the prestige products," Laroche said.
The oenologue-turned-entrepreneur, who has added vineyards in southern France, South Africa and Chile to the family acreage, now sells 62 percent of his wines with screw tops. But in France, only 14 percent of Laroche wines don't have corks.
Other winemakers are following, Gaillard says, particularly with wines destined for export.
In Britain, where he says consumers lack a "cultural predisposition to wine" and are fond of wine "novelties," supermarket giant Tesco PLC now sells 50 percent of its wines with a screw top, including a third of its French offerings.
French consumers are more resistant.
"Screw tops are extremely suspect," said theater director Jean Manifacher, 44, as he shopped in Paris wine store Cave des Cascades.
"It's fast food wine. I'm in no rush to open the bottle. I like to take my time, savor the experience, enjoy the sound of the removing of the cork from the bottle."
Laroche said he knew there "would be a lot of resistance in France." As he watched green bottles full of white wine line up to be fitted with a black cap, he sighed: "It's a problem of culture and tradition."
Yet in France, tradition is not usually regarded as a problem. Winemakers have long relied on it to sell their wines, particularly in regions widely recognized and popular overseas such as Champagne and Bordeaux.
Conde says the younger generation of winemakers in lesser known regions are starting to shake things up a little - because they have no option.
Barbara Glunz, proprietor of the 120-year-old House of Glunz, Chicago's oldest continuing wine-seller which has been in her family for five generations, said the French wine industry - which provides the bulk of her stocks - has made great strides in recent years.
Glunz sells no box wine, but says she's definitely a fan of screw-top bottles because they prevent the spoilage of wine.
Bob Prewitt, a 60-year-old advertising executive from Pennington, N.J., agrees.
"I actually once opened a $2,000 bottle of wine that was corked," he said. "Now I'm a huge fan of screw caps."
Laroche's wife, Gwenael, is taking the French wine revolution to the new frontiers of the business, like Vietnam, where she has recently been preaching the screw top's virtues.
"If you over-intellectualize the wine, you scare people off," she said, at a trendy wine bar in Chablis, which she designed with her husband.
Gesturing to a 1,000-year-old grain mill opposite, she said: "Here you can't get away from the 12th century - when the monks planted the first Chablis vines. You can't escape history, but you don't have to live in the past."


It all happened earlier this summer. Torres was admitted to Parkview Community Hospital Medical Center. Dr. Erik Wahlstrom was assigned to remove Torres' left diseased kidney.
In Torres' medical records, a number of references to the left kidney and a left renal mass can be seen.
However, just days before the surgery, the documents show a change. Notes begin referring to the right kidney.
And that's what Torres says happened. His perfectly healthy right kidney was removed instead of the left one, resulting in a massive mistake.
Torres says he doesn't see a point in continuing to live.
"The big question we have is how can that happen? Why isn't somebody saying, 'Gee, today it's right, and for the past two weeks it's been left,'" says Shirley Watkins, Torres' attorney.
"Somebody should be asking the questions and critically thinking about what's going on," says Watkins.
Watkins says a simple mistake over one word means that Torres can't live at home and will now require dialysis three days a week, because after the mistake, doctors still had to remove the bad kidney.
"So he's left without a kidney, and for many people on lifelong dialysis, there's no question it's going to have some effect on the quality of his life and life expectancy," adds Watkins.
Watkins filed this lawsuit on Torres' behalf last week, and Dr. Wahlstrom and Parkview Medical Center are named as defendants. They are seeking damages in the seven-figure range.
Eyewitness news tried to contact the hospital, as well as the attorney for Dr. Wahlstrom, but so far, they have not responded.


By SaharaReporters, New YorkIn a long and defiant declaration posted to the internet, Sheik Ibrahim Zakzaky asserted that no force was powerful enough to crush the Islamic movement in Nigeria. The movement’s conviction was well entrenched and could not be gagged or eroded, he said.
The declaration cited evidence of American and Nigerian operatives making moves to eliminate Sheik Zakzaky. This evidence included the constant helicopter flying over Zakzaky’s residence in Zaria town.
The declaration read in part: “Recent happenings in Zaria have stirred questions as to what the Nigerian and US security apparatus are up to. About two weeks ago a bomb was reported to have exploded at a school in Tudun Jukun area of the town. This was followed almost immediately by “exchange of gun fire” with “some unknown gunmen” at Danmagaji area. A day or two later there was a bomb explosion at Kwarbai quarters in the heart of Zaria city which was followed by officially routing the residence of a Good Samaritan who has been living peacefully with his people.
“The following week, about twentyfour trucks loaded with security agents armed to the teeth and bulldozers were seen trooping in to the peaceful town. For two consecutive nights a plane was seen hovering over the residence of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky at about 4 a.m. at very low altitude and almost crawling speed, perhaps with the intent of bombing the Sheikh’s residence.
“Reports reaching us from friendly sources indicate that the diffidence situation being feigned in Zaria is to pave way for an unpropitious plan by the US government via their Nigerian mannequins to do away with the revered Sheikh. The reports reveal that a house to house search will be conducted in some parts of Zaria, to serve as prelude to their final assault on Gyellesu area, where Sheikh Zakzaky resides. This has been confirmed by the fact that for about two days, they have started the operation at Fanwanki quarters, where they went about at midnight invading the residences of innocent people. They have already mapped out where Hurras (Muslim brothers keeping vigil) are staying, and have planned to eliminate them using silenced guns.
“The question is why all these harassments? Zaria has been known for its peaceful nature. It has been and is still the seat of knowledge in Nigeria. The role of Zaria in preserving the teachings of Islam is well known. It is also very well recognized as the seat of many reputable tertiary institutions of Nigeria. Who then will benefit in plundering the city into chaos and anarchy? Under our watchful eyes, Maiduguri (another seat of Islamic knowledge) has been ravaged; Kano (the economic centre of the North) has been paralysed, all in the name of the so-called Boko Haram saga. These and many heinous events of their kinds have left nobody guessing as to the fact that somebody, somewhere is hell bent on crippling the strategic interests of Nigeria, particularly the Northern part of the country.
“We know that the US and Nigerian governments are disturbed and envious of the growing influence and respect Sheikh Zakzaky is commanding, not only among the Muslims but even the non-Muslims. The recent peaceful protests held against the blasphemous US-made anti-Islam film across the country and some other African countries at the instance of his call, are clear evidence of their present action. His is a vibrant Islamic Movement with its roots fully entrenched in the minds of all conscious Muslims, drawing from the fountain of belief and faith. So no force can crush it.
It is about time the Nigerian security re-evaluate their perception of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria generally, and the personality of Sheikh Zakzaky in particular. It is about time they also seriously weigh the likely repercussions of their faulty and hasty decisions to please their masters-US. We are watching with keen interest the developments taking place on the security situation being imposed on Zaria. On Allah we depend and He is All-capable and All-knowing.

iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3G shows marked improvement in speed testAs expected, iPhone 3G performance improves considerably when running iOS 4.1 in an informal speed test.
Lifehacker has posted a video comparing an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.0 with one running iOS 4.1. In the "tests," which are shown side-by-side, iOS 4.1 bests iOS 4.0, sometimes by as much as 10 seconds.
iOS 4.1 won all four tests, which involved sending a text message, locating a store in Google Maps, displaying a photo, and loading a website. The tests were conducted on a single iPhone and then stitched together. The version of iOS 4.1 used was a "final release" version.
In testing, the most noticeable difference was "UI responsiveness." The UI for iOS 4.1 "didn't get stuck nearly as much" on interface elements or when entering text.
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs announced Wednesday that the iOS 4.1 update will ship on Sept. 8. Jobs specifically mentioned iPhone 3G performance as a "bug" that would be fixed with the update. Long-awaited proximity sensor and bluetooth fixes will also be included in iOS 4.1.
Users who upgraded to iOS 4 on their iPhone 3G have reported serious slowdown of their phones, with some units becoming "unusable." In July, Apple told the Wall Street Journal that it was aware of the reports and looking into the matter.
Several key features of iOS 4, such as multitasking and data protection, are disabled on the iPhone 3G.

The NotPetya ransomware is once again being blamed for a major financial cost due to disruptions to a global shipping business.
According to a financial report for A.P. Moller-Maersk, a shipping and logistics conglomerate based in Denmark, the impact from the NotPetya ransomware attacks in June adversely affected Maersk Line, the conglomerate's global container division and the largest operating unit.
Søren Skou, CEO of A.P. Moller-Maersk, said the NotPetya ransomware impact led to business volumes being "negatively affected for a couple of weeks in July and as a consequence, our Q3 results will be impacted."
The financial guidance for Moller-Maersk stated the majority of the NotPetya ransomware impact came in July and is estimated to cost the company between $200 and $300 million in revenue.
Growing NotPetya ransomware impact
Moller-Maersk is the latest company to admit to the extensive ransomware impact on business operations. Many companies around the globe were affected because the NotPetya ransomware acted more like a wiper, destroying data and locking systems so businesses could not recover normally.
FedEx said the sophisticated NotPetya ransomware disruption lasted weeks and forced its TNT division to rely on manual processes.
Merck did not specifically point to NotPetya -- instead blaming an undisclosed cyberattack occurring on the same day the NotPetya ransomware attacks began -- but said it was still "in the process of restoring its manufacturing operations" as of the end of July 2017, one month after the NotPetya attack.
Merck said it had to alter its financial outlook because of the ransomware costs, but did not know the full extent of the costs.

It was Rodney’s 40th birthday…I know he doesn’t look a day over 30 really, and so his gorgeous partner Robbie booked the four of us in for dinner at the Print Hall. This was one of those restaurants that had been on our list of must try for many months but had always slipped off the radar when we decided on going somewhere for dinner.
This is a special occasion restaurant because it is certainly not a cheap choice but from the moment you arrive until you depart the service, food and wine all add together to make for a truly memorable experience! This is one of those special restaurants that present everything is the most professional way and all the staff engage with both a sense of knowing what their roles are but also with a polite friendly nature that just adds to the experience.
We began with the Friday…

All of the ingredients are here for something special, but the end result is more than a little under-baked.
It’s not quite a sub-genre, but films about people (police or otherwise) having to fight their way through enemy territory are wickedly appealing. From The Warriors (1979) and Trespass (1992) to The Raid (2011) and Dredd (2012), it’s an irresistible premise and difficult to mess up — all it needs are compelling characters and thrilling action. Difficult to mess up… but not impossible.
Nina Manigan (Anne Curtis) has just finished training as part of a police assault squad, and having lost her last team in a hail of gunfire she’s finding it hard to fit in this time around. There’s no time to complain, though, as the squad is chosen to take part in a late-night operation hoping to bring down crime boss Biggie Chen. She’s not keen on the man running the op, but knowing her career is on the line she follows him and the others deep into one of Manila’s maze-like slums. The mission quickly goes to hell, and with a traitor in their midst the squad is forced to fight their way out if they want to see another sunrise.
A quick glance at Erik Matti‘s latest Filipino thriller suggests a real treat for fans of action films with female leads, but as the opening minutes move forward through its 126 minute running time the truth comes clear. BuyBust is too long, too sloppy, and too underwhelming.
It’s a damn shame too as the elements that work do so extremely well. Curtis offers a charismatic lead performance that sees her shifting repeatedly between desperation, fear, and determination. Brandon Vera is equally captivating as Rico, her larger than life teammate who feels like a Filipino answer to Dave Bautista — big, powerful, and lovable.
A couple of the action beats excite too as characters run, climb, and fight through and over ramshackle shacks and barely stable structures. Rico gets a trio of highlights involving garden shears, a motorcycle, and a water trough, and Manigan almost keeps apace with a couple entertaining brawls.
The big problem, though, is that the action is surprisingly dull and repetitive. Fight-focused movies don’t need to go the stylish, highly-choreographed route of numerous martial arts features, as sometimes the pure energy of guttural brawling can be every bit as thrilling. The recent We Will Not Die Tonight succeeds on that front (with a similar plot too) with fights that feel desperate and painful. The fights here won’t impress in their choreography, but worse, they disappoint in their execution. The swings are slow, the contact is inconsistent, and the reactions are amateurish.
The action is especially unfortunate as there is *so much* of it. The film’s over two hours, and once the bust goes sideways the action kicks in and remains fairly consistent. It should be electrifying and draining with only brief pauses to catch our collective breaths, but instead (and aside from the highlights mentioned above) it’s just there.
Other issues rear their head, particularly in a script that despite its length feels as if it’s missing dialogue beats, but good action is the only thing an action film really needs to get right. Matti’s 2013 feature, On the Job, is a fantastic showcase for his skills as a filmmaker in both direction and writing, but here he appears to have gotten lost in the massive size of it all.
Trim half an hour from BuyBust‘s bloated first two acts and this is perfectly passable diversion. As it stands it’s worth a watch — a rent(bust) if you will — for genre fans who’ll enjoy the beats that work including an absolute killer final two minutes.


I signed up for ESPNU - I am able to get it on my device that is connected to my set top box but not the devices that are connected to DTA's. Why?
ESPNU is in Digital Preferred, DTAs only broadcast up to Digital Starter
So I need the monstrosity of the set top box in place of the DTA's?
I am getting the Big10 Channels and others that are both above and below ESPNU channel on my DTA - this all sounds like a more Comcast money gouging!


God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble. ~ Psalm 46:1
Who’s the first you turn to when you have a problem?
Is it…your friend? Your partner? Your parent? Your sibling?
What about God? Is He on that list?
I’m prompted to ask this question because of something that happened to me recently. You see, I’d shared a testimony of how God delivered me from my personal struggles with a group of like-minded people not too long ago. Everyone listened sympathetically.
One of the members later sent me a message telling me how she was touched by my story and offered to lend me her listening ear when I need to offload in future. I politely thanked her but I knew I’ll never take up her offer.
Why so? Is it because I’m not so close to her? Perhaps. But mostly it’s because I prefer to offload to God, even if it is to rail against Him out of anger.
I can never offload to anyone unless it is to ask for prayer. Even then, I’m selective about who I offload my problems too.
Because offloading my problem to the wrong person only creates more angst and frustration. Not only that, repeating my problem to a person causes me to dwell in unhappiness and discouragement because I can’t help but mentally replay my problem over again.
So if you’re inclined to run to people when you’re faced with a problem, I suggest you change tactic. Isaiah 2:22 tells us, “Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they?”
If you’re seeking resolution, I encourage you to mindfully turn to God first. Or at least seek out people who can pray with you.
The Bible tells us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Can we believe and live by that?
Friend, learn to turn to God first. Whether it’s just a call for help in your heart, whether it’s asking Him, “How Lord”, whether it’s going down on your knees to pray, He’ll answer you. All the time.
Men have limitations. They can never answer you as best as God. But friend, what is impossible with men is possible with God. That’s why it is better to take refuge in God than to trust in men.


1. We asked someone at Rockport where to do the fishing. He was like, “Go along this road until you see a sign saying “Don’t enter” and keep going…”
2. Marc was heading back to home from office and I asked him if he had received the knowledge I radiated that day..
3. I showed Marc how to do something using Microsoft Visio and he said thanks. I joked with him like, “My pleasure, but that’s all I learned from Phd…”
4. I said happy birthday to Carly last Tuesday, but she told me her birthday was the next day. I was like, “Oh, happy birthday eve then~”
Ate the biggest sesame ball in my life yesterday…

A 28-year-old woman was killed after her hair got entangled in the rear wheel of a go-kart at Pinjore Gardens on Wednesday.
Puneet Kaur and her husband Amardeep Singh (30) of Rampura Phul in Bathinda were on a Valentine’s Day outing. She was riding a go-kart with her husband when the incident happened. Though Puneet had her hair tied into a bun with a rubber band and was wearing a helmet given by the caretaker of the go-kart station, the bun came off suddenly and her hair got stuck in one of the rear wheels.
Amardeep Singh, an agriculturist from Rampura Phul, told police, “My wife and I were enjoying the ride on the go-kart. Suddenly, my wife’s hair got loose and I heard her scream. I raised an alarm and when the kart stopped, her scalp was peeled off. I do not know the quality of the rubber band and the helmet given to my wife.”
The woman was rushed to Civil Hospital, Sector 6, in Panchkula where doctors declared her dead. Apart from the couple and their one-year-old child, Amardeep’s parents were also present at the time of the incident.
Panchkula police came to know about the incident when doctors at the Civil Hospital informed them about Puneet’s death around 4 pm.
Meanwhile, relatives of the family have accused the Pinjore police of obtaining Amardeep’s signature on the statement, which was dictated by the police to him.
Parminder Singh Goldy, a relative of Amardeep, said, “Amardeep was nervous when he took his wife to hospital. Police came and took his signature. How can they not file an FIR against the management of the go-kart vehicles. If the FIR is not lodged, we will stage a dharna here.”
Pinjore SHO Sukhbir Singh said, “We have instructed the go-kart management to stop the operations. Till now, we have not received any complaint from the family members of the woman. Once someone files a complaint, we will file an FIR.”
Sushil Kumar, manager of the go-kart station, said, “We followed all security measures. We gave a rubber band and also a helmet to the woman… It was an accident.”
Lovely, another relative of the family, said, “Amardeep, along with his family, came to Chandigarh to attend a marriage… Today, they, along with another family from Canada, went to Timber Trail, Parwanoo, to celebrate Valentine’s Day. On their way back, they decided to visit Pinjore Gardens.”


- Against the backdrop of our difficult economic situation many Jamaicans are finding it hard to see the festivity in the season.
- We must not allow our challenges to weigh down our spirit and cloud our optimism and compromise our humanity.
- Christmas is a time to gather those nearest and dearest, our families and friends.
It’s the season to be jolly!
I totally understand if we may not all feel this way.
Against the backdrop of our difficult economic situation many Jamaicans are finding it hard to see the festivity in the season. It has been a rough year for all of us, but let this not blind you to the virtue and meaning of Christmas. We must not allow our challenges to weigh down our spirit and cloud our optimism and compromise our humanity.
Christmas is a time to gather those nearest and dearest, our families and friends. To reflect on the year past and give thanks that we survived, that our lives have been spared and that we can fellowship with our loved ones. It is the occasion for all Jamaicans from all walks of life to come together in appreciation of our most beautiful and blessed country. It is also a time when we look forward with hope, that while our condition now is challenging, things will get better. God sent his Son to us as the Messiah to enlighten the world and show us the way to peace. This is the essence of Christmas.
The story of the Nativity tells us that Jesus was born in a time of great social and economic hardship for the people – just as in Jamaica. He was born into poor circumstances – as are many Jamaicans. The lesson is that Christmas is not about wealth, it’s not about possessions, and we don’t have to be rich to celebrate the true meaning of the season.
If the Saviour of the World can be born in a stable:
• then in the midst of hardship and despair there can be hope,
• then our humanity doesn’t depend on our income.
Christmas is the time when we become less consumed by our worldly trappings, or the millstones of our earthly desires, or the grip of our vices. It is a time when we give of ourselves as human beings, with generosity, love, and peace. It is a time when we recommit to follow the examples of Jesus Christ and strive to be better human beings.
Let us pray this Christmas to become instruments of peace.
Where there is hatred, let us show love;
Where we have been injured, let us forgive;
Where there is discord, let us work towards harmony;
Where there is error, let us search for the truth;
Where there is doubt, let us have faith;
Where there is despair, let us hold on to hope;
Where there is darkness, let our humanity shine light;
And where there is sadness, lift a joyous noise.
Let us not, even with our great needs, seek so much for ourselves to be loved, fed, consoled and understood, but to seek also for our neighbours welfare and to share what little we have with them. For it is in giving that we receive and are made richer in blessings.
From Juliet, Adam, Matthew and myself – my family to yours, I want to wish for a happy and peaceful Christmas season. God Bless.


To the Editor – I read the recent article on the fourth EMWA freelance business survey1 with great interest and some considerable concern.
When freelance writers express an interest in working with Rx Communications, one of the first things we ask them is for an indication of the hourly rate they charge. This is by no means a perfect indicator of reimbursement cost as clearly the time taken to complete a project and to what standard are as important, if not more so, to our costs. It is, nonetheless, a useful indicator. Recently I've noticed that many freelancers are charging similar hourly rates, regardless of experience.


29. Although it is humbling to his pride, man must be resigned to behold in his material body only the last link of animality upon the Earth. The inexorable argument of facts compels him thus to regard himself, against which all protestation is vain.
But the more the body diminishes in value in his eyes, the more the spiritual principle increases in importance. If the first puts him on a level with the brute, the second elevates him to an immeasurable height. We can see the point where the animal stops; but, we cannot see the limit to which the human spirit can attain.


The Trial Chamber moved through proceedings swiftly this week, marking the first time a week was devoted entirely to testimony about the treatment of the ethnic Vietnamese during the DK period. Over the course of four days, the Chamber heard evidence from a total of five individuals, keeping strictly to time in an apparent effort to maintain efficiency in the lead up to the Christmas break. Mrs. Sao Sak was the first Witness to appear on Monday, concluding her testimony from last week about the treatment of the Vietnamese in Anlong Trea Village. Next the Chamber heard from Civil Party Choeung Yaing Chaet, who testified to surviving the mass killing of his family at the age of 13 and fleeing by boat to Vietnam. Next, Witness Prum Sarun recounted his experiences as a former Lon Nol soldier during the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) period, and his memory of coming across a mass grave at Tuol Tatrong. Witness Oum Son began his testimony on Wednesday and gave evidence related to previous Witness Sean Sung’s testimony about a mass execution at Khsach Pagoda in Sangvaeuy Village, particularly the execution of Chantha, an unmarried Vietnamese woman from that village. After adjourning on Thursday to mark International Human Rights Day, the Chamber took the unusual step of holding hearings on Friday, 11 December, at which point Oum Son completed his testimony and Ong Sam Ian testified about the disappearance of ethnic Vietnamese people from her native village in Svay Rieng Province. No major legal or procedural issues held up proceedings this week, however the Defense Teams, particularly that of Nuon Chea, made a number of small objections and on several occasions expressed doubt about the veracity of the testimony they were hearing.

I was originally planning to stay in one of the cheaper hotels in Baguio for a one-night stay with friends when Dan Estioko, one of my friends suggested Hale ‘Opua Bed and Breakfast. He told me to check it out on Facebook. I was doubtful at first. I thought it would be one of those ordinary, tight-spaced transient places. I was quite impressed when I saw their pictures of the place on Facebook.
1) Ate Belinda can cook for those staying at the place (other than breakfast). Either give her the money to buy the ingredients for the food you want her to cook or buy the ingredients and give it to her to prepare at your convenience.
2) Tell them what time the group prefers to eat breakfast so they can prepare it just when everyone is ready.
3) I think there’s free wifi, too.
Overall, I had a great time and would stay at this place again when I’m in Baguio.

Myth turning into History - Tolkien and Christianity


Until now, Favor Laser has concentrated on producing laser cutters for the low cost end of the market. In 2010, it began developing a high performance multi-capability laser cutting machine for the international market, which is currently dominated by a small number of Swiss, German and Japanese manufacturers. By combining its laser cutting technology with value-engineered hardware and advanced CNC software, the company anticipated it could produce a machine with the same performance as the market leaders, but at significantly lower cost.
All Favor Laser machines are based on an innovative flying optics system, where the metal sheet that is being cut is supported on a stationary table, and the cutting head which directs the laser beam is moved horizontally above the surface of the sheet. The company’s new XO high performance laser cutter is a four axis machine, but uses two motors for the X axis. Horizontal positioning of the cutting head is controlled by the X and Y axes, which have working lengths of 3 and 1.5 meters respectively; this large working area, combined with an X-Y positioning accuracy of ±0.01 mm, helps maximize machine versatility.
To maintain beam focus and cutting efficiency, the gap between the cutting head and workpiece is continually monitored and adjusted using a high speed servo on the Z axis. The X, Y and Z axes are fully interpolated to ensure smooth and continuous motion control, while patented adaptive optics compensate for the length of laser beam, which varies depending on the position of the cutting head relative to the laser oscillator. The machine’s fourth (U) axis handles material loading and unloading.
After investigating various CNC options, Favor Laser chose NUM’s Flexium 68 system for its new XO machine. The CNC system’s motion control hardware closely matched requirements and provided configuration flexibility for future enhancements, and its software functionality would simplify application programming. In particular, the ‘Dynamic Operator’ function – which is unique to NUM – was judged ideal for the program that dynamically controls the gap between the cutting head and the workpiece. Using fast calculation and communication facilities, the function enables event-driven machine cycles to be integrated into the real-time CNC kernel.
According to Favor Laser’s General Manager, Mr. Lai, “We were delighted to discover that NUM Taiwan had the engineering expertise, resources and willingness to assist us at every stage of design. Thanks to their help, which included developing custom hardware and CNC software, we have been able to bring our new XO high performance laser cutter to market on time and to budget. As a result of reduced development and build costs we have gained an enormous competitive advantage. Our machine is likely to be priced about 20 to 30% below comparable machines from Japanese and German manufacturers.”
All motion control elements of the XO laser cutter are supplied by NUM. In addition to the motors, NUMDrive C servodrives and Flexium 68 CNC kernel, the machine uses NUM Ethercat I/O terminals and a dual-processor Flexium FS152i operator panel with a 15-inch flat screen and hard drive. The custom human-machine interface (HMI) was developed entirely by NUM Taiwan and makes extensive use of graphics – including visualization of the workpiece and cutting course – to simplify machine operation and minimize training needs.
Operating conditions can change abruptly during laser cutting, demanding quick adjustment of a large number of parameters to ensure consistent performance. Controlling the laser oscillator’s power output is a particular design challenge, and requires extremely fast and stable communication facilities. To meet these demands, NUM Taiwan developed a special pulse train control card for the CO2 laser oscillator in the XO machine. Implemented entirely in hardware (the use of software would impose unacceptable timing restrictions), the card translates duty cycle and frequency control signals, which are optically coupled to the oscillator to minimize transmission delay.
The performance of NUM’s CNC products and the responsiveness of NUM Taiwan has caused Favor Laser to completely re-evaluate its machine control strategy. The company now intends migrating its existing product lines over to Flexium systems, and to base future machines on NUM’s CNC technology. As Mr Lai explains, “I am confident that our partnership with NUM places Favor Laser in the best possible position to create new laser cutting machine solutions that will benefit our customers.”


Skin is the covering of our body, it is the largest organ of our body. So, it is essential to take care of it properly. The skin has various problems. There are various products available in the market to keep skin well. Some Skin problems are not serious, you can easily take care of it like wrinkles, oily skin and dry skin.

Ever wonder where your food comes from ? Thought about how much energy it takes ? Know the person who grew it ? Maybe the region it came from ?
Every now & again I do. It’s pretty cool to actually know a few answers to questions now & again.
So this photo was lunch today. Stir fried in 10 min and enjoyed with our new HelpX volunteer.
Left overs and backyard offerings. A tiny beetroot, corn, shallots, baby eggplant, pumpkin, radish and cucamelon within walking distance. Rice grown by Randalls – an Australian organic family farm, Chinese cabbage from our truly amazing and recently renovated Flametree Co-op (I also buy our tamari and olive oil in bulk here.)
So apart from lunch looking a little lumpy, it’s also got loads of colour, texture and energy. Eat a rainbow. try to give yourself enough time to enjoy it.
Super cool thing about hunting around locally, (see if you’ve got a local Food Is Free Table people drop and swap at in your area) is you get the flavour of independence. Sometimes things that aren’t mainstream. And most certainly foods that are in season for your region.
Try to make a little time and indulge yourself.


Davian Chase is literally the last man standing in the 242Untapped final four. The 18 year-old who blew away the judges with his jazzy rendition audition of Total Praise is still in the running for the coveted record deal with Elevation Records, a music video and $5,000 in cash and prizes. Produced and hosted by Vincent ‘V-Mac’ McDonald, 242Untapped, a reality singing contest with aims to find the next Bahamian superstar, is airing on Cable 12 on Saturday right after the evening news and right here on The Bahamas Weekly.
“I auditioned because I believe that singing is what I was born to do and for the past 15 years, I have been doing just that,” says Davian. “Singing is something I really enjoy. From a child I have been in love with microphones, the stage and the applause, but God had to show me that singing was more than just having a good voice and being applauded, it was about ministry. That is why I auditioned.” “I sing because I am happy” Davian sang when asked why he loves music, before adding: “I sing because music is the only art form that you can really express yourself. I remember many times in different seasons of my life, I had to sing. I have been anointed to do this. God has given me this voice to minister to people and along with I have the drive because I know it’s not me but God through me.”
The Church of God of Prophecy crooner revealed that his song going into the finals will be a Walter Hawkins favorite but didn’t want to spoil the surprise. Instead, he went on to say how it was a pleasure to get critique from the judges, especially Judge Nadene Moss who he met prior to the show during her vocal workshop.
“I have a whole lot of influences,”Davian admitted when asked who he looked to for musical inspiration. “I love jazz and soul music – music that reaches the soul. As a Christian, I love gospel, music that saves the soul. So the marriage of those genres creates music that that reaches and saves the soul. So I would listen to artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Kim Burrell, Kierra and Karen Sheard, Anita Wilson, JMoss, Smokie Norful, Fred Hammond. I also am a worship leader so I listen to other worship leaders like Tasha Cobbs, William Murphy, Nadene Moss, Jonathan Nelson, Preashea Hilliard. I also love the vocal stylings of other artists like Amy Winehouse, Ledisi, Stevie Wonder, Lalah Hathaway and Beyonce`.” With one more chance to shine before the possibility of being named the 242Untapped winner, Davian gave us the thing that he is most excited about should he take the title.

Breaking news!!! For the 10th straight year, Dr Lee has been voted the coolest, most-handsome chiropractor in the land…And a warning on a popular anti-biotic.
Many people feel that Chiropractors are anti-medicine and anti-medical establishment. For the most part we aren’t.

I am for anything and everything that will make you, my friends and patients, healthy.
Today however, I am here to speak out on a particular drug: Levaquin. In 2 weeks I have had 2 patients come in with chemically induced rotator cuff tear and 1 with an ACL tear, all from Levaquin. In fact, the following is straight from the National Institute of Health’s website: “WARNING-Using levofloxacin injection increases the risk that you will develop tendinitis (swelling of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) or have a tendon rupture (tearing of a fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) during your treatment or for up to several months afterward. These problems may affect tendons in your shoulder, your hand, the back of your ankle, or in other parts of your body…”

I recently converted from an iPhone 4S to the HTC One, and with any new phone comes the joy of looking for a new case. Julie offered the Draco One Aluminum Bumper by Draco Design to review so I asked to give it a try.
Just a note: This is my first time using an aluminum case. Most of my past cases have either been leather sleeves or TPU/plastic cases.
The Draco One Aluminum Bumper is actually an interestingly-shaped aluminum bumper case. I received the silver one, but it also comes in black. The case is made of aircraft-grade aluminum.
There is padding on the inner edge and corners to protect the phone from being scratched by the case.
On the bottom edge are the cutouts for a lanyard, microUSB charging port, and the microphone. The cutout for the microUSB port is large enough to accommodate different widths of microUSB cables.
On the top edge are the cutout for the headphone jack and power button. The cutout for the headphone jack is shaped like the letter “U”. This design will accommodate larger-sized headphone plugs and angled headphone plugs.
Having an aluminum bumper case means the power button will be recessed. Draco solved this by providing a clear plastic button extender. It has to be clear because HTC One’s power button also functions as an IR remote blaster.
On the right edge is a volume rocker. For some reason, only the volume up button can be activated. The volume down button just doesn’t work no matter how hard I push. I probably got a bad sample.
The Draco One case comes in 2 pieces that separate so that you can put the phone in. It’s held together with 2 very tiny screws. Draco was nice enough to provide the tool and 2 extra screws. It was great for them to provide those extra screws because I dropped one on thick carpet, and it was never found again.
The Draco One comes up over the front of the phone a little bit to provide screen protection if you want to lay down the phone with the screen facing down.
There is one “minor” con, which would be that the 2 pieces don’t 100% align up when all screwed in. It’s not a major issue, but it would definitely look better if it aligned properly.
I personally think there’s one major issue that needs to be mentioned. The Draco One leaves the back fully exposed, which showcases the gorgeous HTC One’s aluminum back. The thing is that the HTC One phone has a raised, curved back which extends out past the Draco One’s bumper thickness. In other words, the back of your phone is in full contact with the table if you lay it down. This will definitely cause major scratches on the aluminum back over time.
However, the Draco One case doesn’t cause any loss of cellular signal because of the exposed back, which is where all the antennas are being housed. I have full 5 bars at one of my offices where the cell tower is about 200 feet away. I had my average 3-4 bars at home where the tower is about 1.5 miles away.
I was expecting a positive impression being that this is my first experience with an all aluminum bumper case. But I was quite disappointed in how the Draco one came out. The Draco One also cost a premium of $79.99 direct.
