Some 5 to 20 million tons of debris--furniture, fishing boats, refrigerators--sucked into the Pacific Ocean in the ake of Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami are moving rapidly across the Pacific. Researchers from the University of Hawaii tracking the wreckage estimate it could approach the U.S. West Coast in the next three years, the UK Daily Mail reports.

"We have a rough estimate of 5 to 20 million tons of debris coming from Japan," University of Hawaii researcher Jan Hafner told Hawaii's ABC affiliate KITV.

Crew members from the Russian training ship the STS Pallada "spotted the debris 2,000 miles from Japan," last month after passing the Midway islands, the Mail wrote. "They saw some pieces of furniture, some appliances, anything that can float, and they picked up a fishing boat," said Hafner. The boat was 20-feet long, and was painted with the word "Fukushima." ?"That's actually our first confirmed report of tsunami debris," Hafner told KITV.

Panetta: US at 'turning point,' to refocus on Asia (AP)

TOKYO ? The winding down of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan marks a pivot point for the U.S. military, which must now focus on looming threats such as the rising military might of China, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday.

Panetta used his first visit to Japan as Pentagon chief to sound an emerging theme of the Obama administration: America will remain a global economic and military power despite coming budget reductions, and the Asia-Pacific region will be central to U.S. national security strategy.

In a question-and-answer session with U.S. and Japanese troops at Yokota Air Base, Panetta ticked off a list of threats that he said demand more U.S. attention as it completes its departure from Iraq this year and targets 2014 for the withdrawal of combat forces from Afghanistan. He mentioned cyberattacks, the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea, Mideast turmoil and "rising powers" ? an allusion to China.

"Today we are at a turning point after a decade of war," Panetta said. Al-Qaida is among a range of concerns that will keep the military busy, but as a traditional Pacific power the United States needs to invest more effort in building a wider and deeper network of alliances and partnerships.in this region, he said.

"Most importantly, we have the opportunity to strengthen our presence in the Pacific ? and we will," he said.

He did not elaborate on whether that would mean adding ships or other forces, but he emphatically said budget cuts would not be a factor.

"We are not anticipating any cutbacks in this region," he said.

In an opinion piece published Monday in a Japanese newspaper, Panetta accused North Korea of "reckless and provocative" acts and criticized China for a secretive expansion of its military power.

He wrote that Washington and Japan share common challenges in Asia and the Pacific.

"China is rapidly modernizing its military," he wrote, "but with a troubling lack of transparency, coupled with increasingly assertive activity in the East and South China Seas."

China's military budget of $95 billion this year is the world's second-highest after Washington's planned $650 billion. Beijing is developing weapons such as the "carrier killer" DF 21D missile that analysts say might threaten U.S. warships and alter the regional balance of power.

Panetta wrote that Japan and the U.S. would work together to "encourage China to play a responsible role in the international community."

A day earlier, in Bali, Indonesia, Panetta offered more positive remarks about China. He told reporters that Beijing deserved praise for a relatively mild response to a $5.8 billion U.S. arms sale to Taiwan announced in September.

Panetta is not visiting China on this trip, but the Obama administration has worked to improve historically weak military ties with China. Panetta's predecessor, Robert Gates, argued that both sides needed to better understand one another's capabilities and motives, the better to prevent miscalculations or misunderstandings. U.S. Navy ships have had run-ins with Chinese ships in disputed waters, for example, but China insists its military rise is peaceful and poses no threat to the U.S.

Panetta is focusing more directly during this trip on the threat posed by North Korea, which he said in his opinion piece "continues to engage in reckless and provocative behavior and is developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, which pose a threat not just to Japan but to the entire region."

The problem of North Korea involves not only the historical weight of Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to the end of World War II, but also China's support for communist North Korea. China fought U.S. forces as a North Korean ally during the 1950-53 Korean War, which remains an unsettled issue.

Panetta's strong language coincided with the start of talks in Geneva between U.S. and North Korean officials in what Washington calls at effort to determine whether Pyongyang is serious about returning to nuclear disarmament talks. Japan also worries about North Korea and is one of five countries that have jointly tried to persuade the North Koreans to cap and reverse their nuclear arms program. The other four are the U.S., China, Russia and South Korea.

The U.S. has about 47,000 troops in Japan and about 28,000 in South Korea, and it is studying near-term possibilities for bolstering the U.S. position in Asia ? not necessarily by adding more troops but by increasing U.S. Navy port calls and doing more regular exercises with Asian and Pacific nations.

President Barack Obama plans to visit Indonesia in November to attend an East Asia summit meeting, following a visit to Australia. He also will host a meeting of Asia-Pacific leaders in Hawaii in November.

Panetta arrived in Japan from Bali, where he met with defense ministers from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations. On Tuesday, Panetta is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda as well as Japan's defense and foreign ministers. On Wednesday he is to meet with U.S. sailors aboard a ship at nearby Yokosuka Naval Base and then travel to South Korea for annual security consultations.

Official: EU banks have to raise $140 billion (AP)

BRUSSELS ? EU finance ministers neared agreement Saturday on forcing banks to raise just over euro100 billion ($140 billion) to ensure they have enough cushion to weather further losses on their Greek bonds as well as market turmoil, a European official said.

In order to help Athens dig out of its debts ? and hopefully keep a cap on the amount of money they have to loan Greece ? the 17 countries that use the euro agreed Friday to ask banks to take bigger writedowns on Greek bonds. A new report suggests the value of Greek bonds might need to be slashed as much as 60 percent.

Taming Greece's debts is an important part of the euro debt crisis puzzle, but it could make banks across the continent ? not just in the eurozone ? more vulnerable at a time when they're already facing declining stock prices and finding it difficult to get regular loans for their day-to-day operations.

So when the eurozone finance ministers decided to reopen negotiations on Greek debt with the banks, the EU had to force its banks to reinforce their rainy-day funds.

Strengthening banks and slashing Greece's debts are critical to solving Europe's crisis, which is now threatening to engulf larger economies like Italy and Spain and is blamed for dampening growth across Europe and even the world.

"The crisis in the eurozone is doing real damage to many of the European economies, including Britain," George Osborne, Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, said as he headed into Saturday's meeting. "We have had enough of short-term measures, sticking plasters that get us through the next few weeks."

The European official said EU leaders meeting Sunday should sign off on forcing the continent's biggest banks to raise just over euro100 billion in capital. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions between ministers were still ongoing.

The figure is likely to disappoint some analysts. A report by the International Monetary Fund has called for up to euro200 billion ($280 billion) to be poured into banks.

The new rules would force systemically important banks to raise their core capital ratios to 9 percent, compared with just 5 percent to 6 percent they needed to pass EU stress tests this summer. The ratio measures the amount of capital banks hold compared to their risky assets.

Greece, of course, has it far worse: The country is struggling through a third year of recession and record unemployment, which reached 16.5 percent in July. Deep anger is building against the Socialist government's repeated rounds of new austerity measures. A two-day general strike against the new cuts and taxes shut down much of the country this week and led to violent protests on the streets of Athens.

Pressure to contain the Greek crisis ramped up Friday after a new report from the country's debt inspectors ? the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF ? showed that its economic situation had deteriorated dramatically even since the summer.

If banks don't take bigger losses, the report said, Greece's debt would peak at a massive 186 percent of economic output in 2013 and only decline to 152 percent by the end of 2020.

That would prevent Greece from raising money on the markets until 2021 and require the eurozone and the IMF to fund an extra euro252 billion ($350 billion) in new loans to Greece through 2020, according to the report, which was marked confidential but was seen by The Associated Press.

Those funds would be in addition to Greece's first bailout of euro110 billion ($152 billion), which has been keeping the country afloat since May of last year, and another euro109 billion ($150 billion) rescue agreed to in July.

The report said that Greece's debts would have to be cut by 60 percent if the eurozone wants to avoid lending it more money. It did not make policy recommendations, and the European Central Bank opposes cutting Greece's debts further.

But finance ministers are clearly paying close attention to the experts' document. Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter told journalists Saturday that the eurozone's chief negotiator, Vittorio Grilli, had been asked to restart negotiations with banks.

That means the July deal, under which banks would have taken writedowns on their Greek bond holdings of about 21 percent, is definitively off the table.

Despite that significant progress, agreement on arguably the most important measure has remained elusive to eurozone leaders: boosting the firepower of the currency union's euro440 billion ($600 billion) bailout fund to keep the crisis from spreading.

Increasing the effectiveness of the fund ? called the European Financial Stability Facility ? is meant to help prevent larger economies like Italy and Spain from being unable to afford to borrow money from markets. That's exactly what happened to Greece, Portugal and Ireland and why those three EU countries needed bailouts.

Germany and France still disagree over how to do that and failed to make much progress on that front Friday night. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are meeting Saturday evening in the hopes of moving toward a deal.

The Greek crisis and its threat of contagion have led to calls for more robust intervention when it becomes clear that an EU country is in financial trouble.

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Saturday that the EU along with the IMF should be able to directly intervene in the budgets of member states if they are receiving financial aid but failing to meet fiscal targets.

But not all EU nations share his view. The foreign ministers of Luxembourg and Finland cautioned that changing the EU treaty is too big a task to tackle now and the bloc should try instead to strengthen budget rules through existing channels.

Significant changes to the EU treaty would require national referendums in some countries, and winning approval for the current treaty from 27 nations took 10 years.

?Our martyrs' blood did not run in vain?

Adrienne Mong / NBC News

Women and children line the street of Misrata to cheer the death of Col. Moammar Gadhafi on Thursday.

By Adrienne Mong, NBC News Correspondent

ON THE ROAD TO SIRTE, Libya ? It started with confusion. There were rumors on Twitter and then reports by foreign media that Sirte, Col. Moammar Gadhafi?s hometown, had fallen.

A military commander from the Misrata brigade told us "there were still houses to clear," not quite confirming or denying the news.?

When we called the National Transitional Committee's press office, a man said, "Sirte is finished." We asked him how he knew. His reply was, "It was on TV."

En route to Sirte, we began hearing from militiamen at checkpoints that Gadhafi had been captured and was being brought back to Misrata, home to one of the strongest militias that rose up against his 42-year rule.

With no cell signal and amidst general chaos, we couldn't verify anything on the ground.? The only thing that was clear was the gathering force of exultation that was evident even on this lonely stretch of road in the North African desert.

---

?Not in vain!?
We decided to set up for a live shot beside the highway instead of continuing onto Sirte.

Adrienne Mong / NBC News

Rebel forces cheer on the road from Sirte to Misrata after hearing the news of Col. Moammar Gadhafi's death on Thursday.

Vehicles painted in the colors of the new Libyan flag began gathering around a checkpoint and bridge behind us. Rebel forces driving back west towards Misrata shouted in jubilation. Men fired their guns into the air. Others shouted, ?Our martyrs' blood did not run in vain!"

We began hearing that Gadhafi had been killed. Fighters stopped to show us cellphone footage purportedly of his body.? In one video, the body was in the back of a vehicle with a white cloth wrapped around his head.? In another, the body was shirtless and on the ground; men picked him up and turned him over and then covered him.

"He was shot in the neck," said Fathi Bashagha, a Misrata military commander and NATO liaison. He was trying to get back to Misrata, ahead of a large convoy rumored to be carrying Gadhafi's body.?

Moments later, a large convoy of 18-wheelers, pick-up trucks, SUVs, and sedans drove by on the outside lane.?

Shadowing them were a ragtag bunch of vehicles driven by cheering militiamen ? so caught up in the moment that a couple rear-ended each other, creating a small traffic jam in front of us.

Questions remain about where Moammar Gadhafi's body was taken after he was captured and killed.? NBC's Adrienne Mong reports.

Grim souvenirs
As we continued to try to get official confirmation from either the Misrata military council or the interim government in Tripoli, more fighters stopped to show us "souvenirs."?

One man had a military cap he claimed belonged to Gadhafi. Another showed a ring, a hat, a nine-millimeter gun, and a bottle of shampoo that he said were taken from the basement housing the former leader.

But by far the most troubling sights were photos of the bodies of what fighters claimed were Moatassam, Gadhafi?s son, and Abu Bakr Yunis, one of Gadhafi's most trusted senior military leaders.? The body of the former appeared to have a bullet hole in the back of his neck; half of the latter's face was a strange shade of blue.

And then there were those who were alive.?
A truck drove by with dozens of men crowded into the back; we assumed they were prisoners because they were not cheering.

One sedan stopped in front of our van.? Rebel fighters proudly scrambled out to show off two men ? black Africans, mercenaries perhaps ? tied up in their trunk, alive; they looked alert and stared at us quizzically.?

Strong: Cardinals CB Conner broke his neck

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) ? Louisville coach Charlie Strong says cornerback Anthony Conner broke his neck when his head hit the knee of Rutgers receiver Mohamed Sanu but he isn't paralyzed.

Conner was carted off the field Friday night after going down on the first play of the second quarter, and team officials said a few minutes later that the senior was conscious with feeling in his extremities.

Strong said Conner was able to squeeze hands and raised his hand, which made his teammates feel he'd be OK. But the coach found out about the severity of the injury during a timeout late in Louisville's 16-14 win.

"Anthony Conner, it's so sad," Strong said. "Our prayers go out to him and his family, but he ended up breaking his neck."

Conner came in low to tackle Sanu, and the cornerback flipped the Rutgers receiver. But Conner's helmet banged off Sanu's right knee, and he went down on the field. Trainers worked on him for several minutes, strapping him to a backboard. He did move his feet and a hand as he was carted off to an ambulance where he was taken to Jewish Hospital.

"He was talking, and he could squeeze your hand and that was it," Strong said.

Strong said he told his players about the severity of Conner's injury a few minutes after the game ended in the locker room.

"When he raised his hand up, they just, they just figured it was OK," said Strong, who worked at Mississippi the season after Chucky Mullins was paralyzed by a hit Oct. 28, 1989, against Vanderbilt.

"It's just so tough anytime you lose a player," said Strong, who kept tapping the side of the podium as he spoke. "It's what happens in this game, but you just never think it'll happen to one of your own. For that to happen, it is, it's sad. I think our players, I told them right after the game. I ended up telling them about it, and some of them didn't take it very well. The whole team didn't take it very well."

Senior linebacker Dexter Heyman called Conner, a starter, one of their great warriors.

"But we're not going to sit there and feel sorry for ourselves now that he's out. He's a great personal friend of mine and he's a great personal friend of a lot of guys, but at the end of the day we do have football games to play and we do have to go out here and execute and we have to perform."

The Scarlet Knights all came out onto the field and knelt, watching as trainers worked on Conner. Just over a year ago, many of these players watched teammate Eric LeGrand carted off the field when the defensive lineman fractured two vertebrae tackling an Army kick returner.

With Strong not sharing the news of Conner's injury with his own team until after the game, the Scarlet Knights likely didn't hear about the severity before packing up for their trip home.

"They were in the same position last year," Strong said.

Colorado guitarist dies after fight with bandmate (AP)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ? A Colorado Springs rock musician has died after he was punched and knocked to the ground in a fight involving other members of his band.

Police say Terry Span died Thursday, 12 days after the fight outside a club where the band had played. The 48-year-old Aleister Wild guitarist had been in a coma.

The coroner says the cause of death was a closed head injury.

Thirty-nine-year-old Michael Sorden was arrested on assault charges after the Oct. 8 fight. Police say prosecutors will decide whether to file other charges.

Sorden is a bass player in the band.

Another Aleister Wild member, vocalist Ernie Munoz, told The Gazette of Colorado Springs (http://bit.ly/qGeYHz) that Span was trying to calm Sorden after a dispute over loading the band members' equipment.

Libyan forces searching Gadhafi stronghold (AP)

BANI WALID, Libya ? Libyan rebels finally in control of a key stronghold of ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi's backers dug up yards in searches for hidden weapons Tuesday, a concrete sign that the months-long battle for Bani Walid was virtually over.

On another similar front, revolutionary forces launched another assault on Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte, hoping to dislodge his dug-in loyalists.

Libya's new rulers are holding up declaring victory and setting a timetable for elections until both centers are under their control. Gadhafi himself remains in hiding.

In the capital Tripoli, visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. wanted to see Gadhafi killed or captured.

In Bani Walid, field commander Said Younis said fighters were searching for high level Gadhafi loyalists who had escaped to the city, including Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam, one of his closest political aides and spokesman.

"Seif was seen was on Thursday. He was eating in a desert village close to the city," Younis told The Associated Press.

Bani Walid is a valley city protected by many steep mountains and valleys, where Gadhafi loyalist snipers took positions during the fiercest battles. Younis said many loyalist fighters have fled to caves in the mountains to hide from the revolutionary forces.

In the backyard of a house in Bani Walid, 10 fighters dug a hole, revealing a cache of Kalashnikov assault rifles and ammunition.

"We've been finding weapons and ammunition hidden in people's yards since we liberated the city, all over," said Ayman Mahdi, as he dug.

Ahmed Saad, a field commander from Zlitan in the western mountains, who helped in Bani Walid forces take back their town, said forces were also searching for underground tunnels similar to those found under Gadhafi's former Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli.

"Prisoners we captured from Bani Walid admitted the existence of these tunnels where some of the loyalists may still be hiding," Saad said.

Bani Walid's center, which was deserted on Tuesday. Buildings were pockmarked from bullets and rocket fire. The only doctors in the main hospital were foreigners.

A revolutionary commander on the scene, Ali Abdel-Rahman, said fighters were able to gain control over Bani Walid on Sunday evening after receiving much-needed ammunition and supplies the day before. He said they faced little resistance, although three revolutionary fighters were killed.

"We didn't find a regular army but only loyalists of Gadhafi, snipers with automatic weapons," he said. "Some of the Gadhafi brigades took off their uniforms and vanished."

He said even families had fled the area. "There was a widespread perception that there would be a massacre here and pools of blood, but on the contrary, it was very bloodless, swift and with no resistance."

It has been more than two months since the former rebels gained control of the capital and much of the rest of the oil-rich North African nation. Persistent fighting has prevented Libya's new leaders from declaring final victory.

While welcoming successes in Bani Walid, Libya's new leaders have said they would declare liberation only after the fall of Sirte. The capture of the coastal city 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of the capital would have symbolic value, as well as giving them control of the country's ports and harbors.

In Sirte, the coastal hometown of the ousted dictator, revolutionary forces pushed in from the east on Tuesday to try to overcome last pockets of resistance.

Revolutionary fighters have been locked in battle in Sirte, suffering heavy casualties, after launching what they said would be an all-out final assault on Oct. 7.

The longtime leader has been on the run since Tripoli fell in late August and he has issued several audio recordings trying to rally supporters from his hiding place.

NATO has pledged to continue airstrikes for as long as necessary, saying pro-Gadhafi forces continue to pose a threat to civilians in Libya. The alliance said it hit a command center comprising nine vehicles near Bani Walid on Monday.

There have also been reports of looting as revolutionary forces closed in on the two areas that have waged the fiercest resistance.

"The fighters who liberated Bani Walid are not the ones who looted the houses, but the fighters who came later on to comb the area. They stole and looted from houses," he said.

In an unannounced visit to Libya on Tuesday, Clinton brought pledges of new U.S. aid totaling $11 million. That will boost Washington's contribution to Libya since the uprising against Moammar Gadhafi began in February to roughly $135 million.

Speaking to a group of students, Clinton said she hoped the former Libyan leader would be killed or caught soon.

Until now, the U.S. has generally avoided saying that Gadhafi should be killed.

Also Tuesday, NATO spokeswoman says the military alliance is "very close" to terminating the 7-month long bombing campaign in Libya.

Spokeswoman Carmen Romero said it is still too early to set the exact date because of the continuing threat to civilians from pro-Gadhafi fighters.

Immigration debate intensifies in GOP race (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Neither Rick Perry nor Mitt Romney can claim conservative purity on illegal immigration ? and now both must deal with it.

Illegal immigration has emerged as a defining issue with remarkable staying power in a GOP presidential race that was expected to be primarily focused on the nation's struggling economy.

The heated clashes over illegal immigration between the two Republican presidential rivals in this week's debate, coupled with renewed calls for a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border by their opponents, made clear the issue isn't going away. It's a major fault line between Perry and Romney as they court a Republican primary electorate that generally takes a hardline view against people who are in the country illegally.

At every turn, Perry, the Texas governor, has been forced to defend his signing of a law that allowed some illegal immigrants to get in-state college tuition. And now Romney is having to answer for the fact that some groundskeepers who had worked on his lawn were in the country illegally.

"Mitt, you lose all of your standing from my perspective because you hired illegals in your home, and you knew about it for a year," Perry told the former Massachusetts governor at Tuesday's debate in Las Vegas. "And the idea that you stand here before us and talk about that you're strong on immigration is, on its face, the height of hypocrisy."

Romney countered, "Rick, I don't think that I've ever hired an illegal in my life" and challenged his rival to show him the facts.

It was a preview of what Republicans can expect to hear in the coming weeks as the Jan. 3 leadoff Iowa caucuses inch closer, with Romney and Perry emerging as the two candidates with the best chances of winning the nomination. They're arguably the only Republicans with the money and organization necessary to go the distance.

Even so and in hopes of gaining traction, their rivals are playing to the part of the GOP electorate that values a secure border with Mexico above all else when it comes to immigration policy.

In recent days, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has pledged to build two fences back to back along the 2,000-mile border. And businessman Herman Cain called for an electrified fence that could kill people trying to cross illegally.

For months now, immigration concerns have followed presidential contenders to town hall meetings from Nevada to Iowa to New Hampshire. And in some ways, immigration has shaped the increasingly bitter Republican nomination fight more than any other issue, particularly in a crowded field where the conservative candidates have more in common than not. And while conservative voters may be driving immigration chatter on the campaign trail, the candidates are stoking voter passions when given the opportunity.

"I'm not surprised that immigration is playing as big a role as it is," said Kevin Smith, a likely New Hampshire Republican gubernatorial candidate who has watched the candidates face repeated questions about the topic on the campaign trail. "This issue plays very well with Republican primary voters."

And it's clear they're listening.

Perry's sudden drop in the polls was largely attributed to weak debate performances involving his support for the Texas law. He suggested that Republicans who oppose the policy were heartless. And Romney fueled the tuition criticism every chance he got.

But Perry tried to neutralize the attacks this week. The outspoken Texan raised new questions at the debate about Romney's use of a landscaping company that employed illegal immigrants at his suburban Boston home several years ago.

For a moment, it looked as though Perry and Romney may come to blows as they debated the issue, with Romney at one point putting his hand on Perry's shoulder as the conversation began to heat up.

"The American people want the truth," Perry demanded. "They want to hear you say that you knew you had illegals working at your ..."

Romney cut in: "Would you please wait? Are you just going to keep talking, or are you going to let me finish with my ? what I have to say?"

For Romney, it was a frustrating return to an issue that played out in his 2008 presidential campaign.

At that time, and again Tuesday night, he said he had little control over whether a landscaping company he legally hired had illegal immigrants on the payroll. But the exchange provided one of the few moments in this presidential campaign in which the usually poised Romney showed flashes of anger.

That anger was apparent in campaign rhetoric from both sides the day after the debate.

"Gov. Perry is desperate to deflect from his liberal immigration record," Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said, calling Perry's launching of "a personal and untruthful attack" on Romney "unpresidential."

But don't expect Perry to back down from an issue that may have fueled his strongest debate performance.

Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan said, "Mr. Romney has been demagoguing and distorting these immigration and border control issues for months now." Sullivan argued that Romney was "exposed as someone who had illegal immigrants working in his lawn and cleaning his tennis court."

Sullivan would not say whether Perry might exploit the issue in television advertising, but he hinted that Romney has only seen the beginning of the new criticism.

There is danger is pushing too hard on immigration.

Polling suggests the issue may help the candidates score political points with Republican primary voters but could alienate the ballooning Hispanic population or hurt the candidates among independents in a general election matchup against President Barack Obama.

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina seized on the issue Wednesday.

"Romney's been taking hard-right positions on the campaign trail on immigration. He didn't object to having undocumented workers working for him because it's illegal; he objected because he thought it would hurt his political career," Messina said.

The 10 biggest TV flops of the last 5 years

On Friday, Drew Barrymore?s ?Charlie?s Angels? became the latest television tragedy as ABC canceled the heavily promoted, but not-very-well-received drama.

Despite a slew of hot, nubile young actresses (like Minka Kelly) and a Miami twist, the show ? a reboot of the 1970s classic ? didn?t get the pulses of America racing.

VIEW THE PHOTOS: TV?s Biggest Flops Of The Last Five Years

?Charlie?s Angels? has joined a rapidly growing list of Fall 2011 shows that were canned by their networks, including CBS comedy ?How to Be a Gentleman? (with Kevin Dillon), The CW reality show ?H8R,? NBC?s remake of the British comedy of the same name, ?Free Agents? (the original is airing on BBC America on Saturday nights), and one of the most talked about programs of the season, ?The Playboy Club.?

With shows dropping like flies, AccessHollywood.com takes a look back at 10 of the biggest flops of the last five years that failed to last for a full season.

10. ?Kings,? 2009 (NBC)
Brit Ian McShane brought his icy stares and weighty presence as King Silas Benjamin to NBC in the big budget series ?Kings? in 2009. Also starring newcomer Aussie Christopher Egan, and eventual ?Gossip Girl? guy Sebastian Stan, the high-on-effects drama ? about loyalty, politics and betrayal went from hot to just plain lukewarm with the viewers who dipped off as the weeks rolled on between March and April. NBC took a break from the show after its first five outings, running seven more in the summer of 2009 before saying goodbye for good.

9. ?Day Break,? 2006 (ABC)
?Day Break? made its premiere outing on ABC?s primetime schedule in 2006. Like a serious ?Groundhog Day,? the series followed the story of Detective Brett Hopper (Taye Diggs), who was trapped repeating the same 24-hour cycle, as he attempted to figure out who set him up for murder. The supporting cast included Moon Bloodgood as Rita Shelten ? Hopper?s girlfriend ? and ?The X Files? star Mitch Pileggi as a fellow detective, but audiences decided not to revisit the past, and changed the channel. Ramon Rodriguez, of the newly canceled ?Charlie?s Angels,? was also a part of the cast.

8. ?New Amsterdam,? 2008 (FOX)
Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau rode a wave of hype stateside as John Amsterdam, a NYPD homicide detective stuck living an immortal life, following a brave act in the 1600?s. A cancellation meant fans never got to see John find true love ? the one thing that would break the spell, but these days the actor has found life again as Jamie Lannister on HBO?s ?Game of Thrones.?

7. ?The Bionic Woman,? 2007 (NBC)
Sci-fi American drama ?The Bionic Woman? crashed into NBC?s primetime lineup in 2007, propelled by some super-powered hype. Brit Michelle Ryan played Jamie Sommers, who was saved from death after surgically receiving bionics ? bionics she was asked to use by those who brought her back from the brink. The reboot?s premiere ? in September 2007 ? packed a punch, beating the Season 3 premiere of ?Grey?s Anatomy.? But, ratings plummeted by November, just as the Writers Guild of America strike began, putting the show on hiatus. While the strike ended, ?The Bionic Woman? stayed permanently on ice.

6. ?Six Degrees,? 2006 (ABC)
An American drama series, ?Six Degrees? had a nice lead in, following ?Grey?s Anatomy? in 2006. Starring Erika Christensen, a post-?Hostel? Jay Hernandez and ?Sex and The City?s? Bridget Moynahan, the plots were various, but connections between the characters worked in. It exited screens in November 2006 after low ratings, but came back for one more (dismal) try in March 2007 before it was canceled for good.

5. ?Lone Star,? 2010 (FOX)
It seemed like a Texas-sized treat ? with lots of big oil drama ? when ?Lone Star? made its debut on FOX in 2010. The show centered around a handsome conman who led a secret double life, pulling jobs in two different towns ? and on two different women. Unfortunately, while series star James Wolk was being touted as a young George Clooney, it ran out gas with TV watchers after two low-rated episodes.

4. ?The Beautiful Life: TBL,? 2009 (The CW)
?The O.C.?s? Mischa Barton retuned to The CW as messed up supermodel Sonja Stone on ?The Beautiful Life: TBL.? Aside from Mischa?s character, the project ? from executive producer Ashton Kutcher ? also focused on a group of male and female models sharing a residence in New York City as they tried to make it. The show itself didn?t, drawing just 1.38 million viewers before it got a designer boot after just two episodes.

3. ?Viva Laughlin,? 2007 (CBS)
They double downed, combing a storyline about a guy trying to jump start a casino in a locale that isn?t Las Vegas, with pre-?Glee? musical numbers, but ?Viva Laughlin? ? even with Hugh Jackman on board as an executive producer and guest star ? bombed, and CBS yanked the series after just two episodes.

2. ?Emily?s Reasons Why Not,? 2006 (ABC)
After a charming run as Dr. Molly Clock on NBC?s ?Scrubs,? Heather Graham got her own comedy in 2006 with the ?Sex and the City?-styled ?Emily?s Reasons Why Not.? Focusing on Emily (Graham), a successful author of self-help books who was less successful at dating, ?ERWN? was heavily promoted by ABC, but yanked after its premiere. ?We felt like, unfortunately, it was not going to get better,? ABC?s then-network president, Stephen McPherson, told reporters at the time.

1. ?Cavemen,? 2007 (ABC)
Inspired by a popular series of GEICO insurance ads, ?Cavemen? rode a prehistoric wave to ABC in 2007. The show, centered around three Cro-Magnon men who were trying to make their way through dating in the modern world ? without their trusty clubs ? piqued the interest of more than 9 million viewers in its premiere outing. Viewers, however, went the way of the dinosaurs, and ABC axed the show after six episodes.

Sick NH engineer evacuated from South Pole (AP)

CONCORD, N.H. ? A sick New Hampshire engineer who had been working at the South Pole for a year was successfully evacuated and said Monday she slept for the whole plane ride to New Zealand for medical treatment.

Renee-Nicole Douceur described the flight in an email to The Associated Press shortly after landing in Christchurch.

"My brain is still intact," she wrote. She said she is scheduled for tests on Tuesday.

Douceur, 58, is a Seabrook, N.H., resident who worked as a manager for research station contractor Raytheon Polar Services Co. She asked for an emergency evacuation after having what doctors believed was a stroke in August, but officials rejected her request because of bad weather, saying that sending a rescue plane was too dangerous and that her condition wasn't life-threatening.

Doctors she contacted for a second opinion say a tumor may have caused her vision and speech problems.

After initially having half her field of vision vanish, Douceur said last week she can now read if she concentrates on just a few words at a time. She said she sometimes jumbles words and has had trouble remembering simple lists of words during medical evaluations.

A storm delayed a flight attempt Saturday. The first part of Douceur's trip was to board a plane to the National Science Foundation's research station in Antarctica, before heading to New Zealand.

A Raytheon spokesman had said that the decision to evacuate Douceur rested with the National Science Foundation, not Raytheon. The National Science Foundation had said it must balance the potential benefit of an evacuation against the possibility of harm for the patient, the flight crew and workers on the ground.

In October 1999, a U.S. Air Force plane flew to the station to rescue Dr. Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald, who had diagnosed and treated her own breast cancer for months before her evacuation. After she had multiple surgeries in the United States, the cancer went into remission, but it returned. She died in 2009 at age 57.

Liberia president optimistic over runoff vote (AP)

MONROVIA, Liberia ? Liberia's president says she's optimistic over a runoff after poll results show she failed to gain the majority needed to win outright.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said late Sunday she is ready for a Nov. 8 runoff against Winston Tubman. With 96 percent of polling stations counted, she led with around 44 percent. Election officials say the remaining results won't change much.

Sirleaf, who won the Nobel Peace Prize this year with two other women, says she is disappointed she didn't win outright in the Oct. 11 vote, but "we came out very well ahead."

Harvard-trained Sirleaf was Africa's first democratically elected female president. She is viewed abroad as a reformer but Tubman's camp portrays her as out of touch with the impoverished population.

Final five face off on 'Project Runway'

By Liane Bonin Starr , HitFix.com

We're down to the final five, and I'm guessing all the hugging and loving of past episodes is about wrapped up, ?no matter how much Anya tries to keep things positive. It's getting down to the wire, and God knows that Josh M. is nothing but a big, pouty baby when he hasn't won a challenge (and a haughty bully when he has), so there's simply no way to keep the tension out of the workroom this week. But let the games begin -- we can only hope Josh M. gets his walking papers at last.?

Before the challenge begins, Josh M. and Viktor bash Anya. She can't sew! She just drapes! She's not as super fabulous as they are! Well, I was on the fence about Viktor, but seeing that he's decided to join forces with The Bedazzler, I'm not all that fond of him at the moment. Yes, Josh M. can sew, but his taste runs toward drag queen gear, not fashion. Anya can learn to sew, but Josh M. can never acquire good taste.

Finally it's time for Heidi to order the designers to leave the city for the final challenge! On the ferry to Governors Island, they dream of the big time. Hate to burst some bubbles here, but have you seen the track record for "Project Runway" designers? Just thought it might be the time to bring that up. They're invited to wander around the island and find inspiration, preferably in the exhibit of outdoor sculpture by?Mark Di Suvero. Plug, plug, plug!

Anyway, once we get through the tourist info, Tim reveals that the designers must create three looks which must demonstrate a range, i.e. a mini-collection. They get an hour to explore the island (with golf carts!) and it's a two day challenge. I was hoping to see some hijinks with the golf carts, but everyone's far too serious for that at this point in the competition.

The designers sketch, they go to Mood, everything's proceeding as planned. Until Time shows up with?the black velvet button bag. But it's not bad news (there aren't even enough people for a team challenge at this point, relax guys). Everyone gets a helper! The order in which the designers get to choose is determined by the button bag.

Kimberly picks Becky.

Viktor picks Olivier.

Laura picks Anthony Ryan. ?

Then, the choosing is down to Anya and Josh M. Anya's chosen next -- and she foolishly tries to joke around with Josh M. He literally steps away from her and tells her she's being violent in a joking-but-not tone. What is wrong with this guy? Anya doesn't understand. She likes everyone! Why are people being mean to her? This is like watching a kitten play with rabid monkeys. I can barely stand to watch.

More Children Visiting ERs for Psychiatric Care (HealthDay)

FRIDAY, Oct. 14 (HealthDay News) -- A growing number of American children are receiving psychiatric care in hospital emergency departments, particularly children who have no insurance or are covered by Medicaid.

That's the finding of a new study that examined 279 million visits made by children to U.S. emergency departments from 1999 to 2007.

During that time, the rate of psychiatric visits increased from 2.4 percent to 3 percent. Underinsured children accounted for 46 percent of those visits in 1999 and 54 percent in 2007.

The findings, slated to be presented Friday at the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition in Boston, are important for a number of reasons, according to study author Dr. Zachary Pittsenbarger.

As expected, the results show that psychiatric visits by children to emergency departments continue to increase.

"A second, and more novel finding, is that one group in particular is increasing beyond any other socio-demographic group, and that is the publicly insured," Pittsenbarger said in an AAP news release.

"It has been found previously that the publicly insured have fewer treatment options and longer wait times for psychiatric disorders when not hospitalized," he noted. "This new finding argues that limited outpatient mental health resources force those patients to seek the care they need in the emergency department."

Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

MIT researchers suggest graphene could be used to build a better camera sensor

As you may have noticed from the pace of research over the past few years, graphene is promising to make a whole lot of things a whole lot better. Now, it seems, you can also add camera sensors to the list. A team of MIT researchers recently discovered that graphene can serve as a photodetector over a "very wide energy range," and that it works particularly well in infrared light, where other types of detectors often come up short. That, the researchers say, could open to the door to everything from better nightvision systems to more advanced detectors for astronomical telescopes -- not to mention more inexpensive camera sensors in general, since graphene is cheap to work with. What's more, the researchers also suggest that those same light-detecting abilities could make graphene a good material for collecting solar energy, although they note that there's still much more research needed to determine if it's truly an efficient means of generating energy.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Posted by admin on Oct 12, 2011 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Professional Indemnity Insurance is legal for some businesses, not applicable to others and recommended for those in between.
In essence, it protects business whose product is not tangible, but is either a service or an intellectual commodity.

The institute of chartered accountants also have guidelines, but rather than a fixed sum, the figure to cover yourself against a claim for is based on the size of your individual business. Their calculation states that the minimum an accountant should take out PI for is two and half times the income brought in by fees, or fee income x two hundred and fifty percent.

Professional Indemnity is not just for accountants and financial advisors, however.
If your business is to give other people advice, such as a designer or architect, then you need to cover yourself in case there is an issue when your design is realised.
And this is not just insuring against fatality or injury. If, during the course of construction of your plan or design, it is proved that there are faults, rectifiable or not, the designer is liable for the expense of materials and labour invested up to that point. If the whole project is to be scrapped, your incurred costs can be business-threatening, so it is indeed advisable to insure against this eventuality.

It is generally accepted that, by the nature of this policy lending itself to professionals within their field, that not every business needs this type of cover. However, some more aware staffing agencies and call-centres are starting to incorporate some degree of PI cover as their business models change with the times.

Professional Indemnity Insurance is an add-on to any of your usual policies, such as PLI and ELI, and is rarely incorporated within those two main types of cover. However, it is worth asking the company with whom you have these basic policies with, as you are more likely to get a preferred rate for this ?professional?s? insurance as an existing policy owner.

And finally, have a risk-assessment plan in place. Some companies may not insure you at all, if you don?t. But, if you can prove you have most eventualities covered, you will appear a safer bet with your chosen provider.

Feel free to Comment.
