Daytrading, Stock Trading, Investing and Forex Trading ? Penny ...

Many stocks are at record low costs and are ready for the picking, making it one of the very finest times to speculate in decades. With the recession practically now formally over and grinding down to a halt, the recovery period is starting. In particular, here is the easy way to treble your investments overnite with an automatic stock trading methodology.

To set apart between which stocks have fully bottomed out and which continue to fall, you ought to use an automatic stock market dealing system which is especially built to use deductive, algorithmic tools to decode market info and find worthwhile trading possibilities. Learn as much as is possible about the exchange before making any investments. Make smaller goals initially, then work up to more aspiring goals. An ignorant financier risks losing precious money and frittering away time. If you're greedy and unacceptably aspiring at the start, you'll likely be disappointed in your results. You now do not have to get obsessed about the newest market reports.

Newb stock market trading may be an enjoyable experience for you, if you do not forget to learn all that you can about the stock exchange before you invest. No more hard forecasting about which shares to get and a lot less mistakes of which can often be reasonably expensive. Blend this with the best securities trading system and you have got an extraordinary investment tool at your command. The system itself will tell you which stocks are ?winners? primarily based on its careful research into the market. These programs only target penny shares and deliver literally the most successful stock picks to be found in the market because penny shares have a name of incredibly jumping in worth in an exceedingly short term due to their less expensive costs leave them open to more trading influence from the outside. I like to say that penny stocks and shares and stock-trading robots were made for one another, and it's simply for this very reason like it can demarcate the good picks from the bad, you can make a lot of cash in the near term. Look for a full refund guarantee because this is both an indication of good faith from the publisher and proof that they are pushing a credible programme, but also simultaneously you can test the programme first hand before absolutely committing to it. It?s simple enough to do because you do not have to invest any cash, instead you can doublecheck the performances of the picks which it generates for you in the market to find out how well they do so you can know irrespective of whether you should be making an investment in its next string of picks.

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) ? One of the U.S. Navy's guided-missile destroyers suffered minor damage when it collided with an oil tanker early Sunday just outside the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

The collision left a gaping hole in the starboard side of USS Porter, but no one was injured on either vessel, the U.S. Navy said in a statement. The collision with the Panamanian-flagged bulk oil tanker M/V Otowasan occurred at approximately 1 a.m. local time.

The cause of the incident is under investigation, the Navy said, adding that there were no reports of spills or leakages from either the USS Porter or the Otowasan.

The USS Porter is on a scheduled deployment to the U.S. 5th Fleet, which is based in Bahrain.

The Strait of Hormuz, located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, is where one-fifth of the world's oil is routed. Tensions have risen there over Iran's threats to block tanker traffic in retaliation for tighter sanctions by the West.

Three years ago, The USS Hartford, a nuclear-powered submarine based in Groton, Conn., collided in the strait with the USS New Orleans, a San Diego-based amphibious ship.

The New Orleans' fuel tank was ruptured, and 15 sailors on the Hartford sustained minor injuries. The collision caused $2.3 million in damage to the New Orleans, and the cost so far of repairs to the Hartford is $102.6 million.

The submarine's commanding officer was relieved of his duties, and the sub's chief of the boat, an adviser to the commanding officer, was reassigned. Several crew members were punished.

Drill kit leaves UK for icy lake

10 August 2012 Last updated at 04:35 ET By David Shukman Science editor, BBC News

A daring project to explore an ancient lake hidden beneath the Antarctic ice moves closer to reality this weekend.

A huge load of essential equipment is starting the long journey by ship from the UK to the far South.

Probes to delve into the pitch-black waters of remote Lake Ellsworth are packed for one of the most difficult science missions of recent years.

Engineers raced to sterilise thousands of components to avoid any risk of contamination in the search for life.

The lake lies under an ice-sheet nearly two miles thick and is believed to be totally pristine, having remained isolated for possibly half a million years.

No one can predict what may be found, but some species of microbes are considered likely - which would provide an astonishing example of the adaptability of life to incredibly hostile environments

A Russian project that drilled into Lake Vostok - much larger and deeper than Lake Ellsworth - collected water samples last January but questions remain about the sterility of the equipment and the bore-hole.

Avoiding contamination is a key element of the British project so the drilling and sampling will be undertaken in conditions considered cleaner than those required in a typical surgery.

While the journey getting to this point has been hard we realise we are still only at the beginning?

End Quote Prof Martin Siegert University of Bristol

The mission's success will depend on a combination of high-technology, innovative design and true grit in a region of Antarctica notorious for its freezing weather and near-constant winds.

A first batch of equipment was delivered to the lake site last year by a tractor-train that traversed an icy terrain scarred by crevasses. The gear was then "winterised" and left tor use in the coming months.

The load being included the pump that will drive a hot-water drill - the aim is to blast a hole through the ice not with a standard drill-bit but with the heat and pressure of water at 90C (194F).

The water itself will be melted from surrounding ice and then passed through a series of filters and ultra-violet systems to ensure that it is as sterile as possible - that equipment is on its way now.

The first stage of the operation will involve engineers arriving at the site in early November to activate the winterised equipment and start assembling the camp and key components.

Another tractor-train will deliver the heaviest of the gear including the probes that will sample water and extract a core of lake sediment.

The science team is due in early December and the schedule calls for the actual drilling - a five day process - to start later that month.

Once the bore-hole is complete, there will be just 24 hours before it refreezes and the sampling must all take place within that short period. The first samples are expected to reach the surface in the middle of December.

The chief scientist behind the project is Prof Martin Siegert of Bristol University, who was involved in the first discoveries of lakes in Antarctica and will be at the lake site for the operation.

He describes this mission as "one of the most important and challenging ever conducted in polar scientific exploration".

"We first thought about exploring sub-glacial lakes 16 years ago," he says, "and now we are finally on the cusp of launching our plans and turning dreams of this exploration into reality.

"While the journey getting to this point has been hard we realise we are still only at the beginning."

How scientists will reach Lake Ellsworth

1. A hot water drill will melt through the frozen ice sheet, which is up to 3km (2 miles) thick. After drilling, they will have an estimated 24 hours to collect samples before the borehole re-freezes

2. A probe will be lowered through the borehole to capture water samples

3. A specialised corer will then recover sediment from the floor of the lake through the same borehole

Watch the team's animated explanation of the planned drill.

Much of the preparation of the equipment has been carried out by staff at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge and the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton.

In one test, the water sampling probe - the result of three years of design and development - was carefully lowered over the dockside to check its controls.

With the instruments powered up and calibrated, the aim was to check the device could gather water samples at different depths, while taking other readings and capturing HD video.

A minor communications problem was later fixed and a valve on one of the 24 sampling bottles stuck but otherwise the sensors and cameras worked fine.

The test took place on Friday 13 July.

But project manager Chris Hill said: "Despite this test being on such an ominous date (a brave move if ever there was one), I'm pleased to report that the test was a great success. "

Meanwhile the second of the probes - a sediment corer - was put through its paces in a trial at a lake in Austria.

The device has to be able to withstand the extreme conditions of Antarctica but hostile weather of a different kind challenged the team: a thunderstorm struck while the engineers were out on a boat in the middle of the water.

Since then the probes and all the support equipment have been sterilised multiple times: scrubbing with detergent, washing in biocide, bathing in ethanol and then a blast of hydrogen peroxide vapour.

After visiting the team several times this year, it is clear that they have endeavoured to think through every potential problem and have learned lessons from previous expeditions.

For example, an earlier attempt to use a hot water drill in Antarctica failed when the hose, made up of 400m sections, broke apart under the weight of the water. This time, the hose is a single length.

According to Prof Siegert, there are risks with only having one hose and one boiler. On the other hand, there will be four pumps when only two are needed and the stores of fuel and many components have been doubled-up.

But when pressed on the chances of success - of surviving the cold, of getting everything to work properly and of retrieving uncontaminated samples - Prof Siegert and the rest of the team tend to give the same answer.

"Let's not forget that we're dealing with Antarctica," they say. Antarctica.

That one word conveys so much: extreme isolation, incredibly forbidding conditions and an unmatched ability to be totally unpredictable.

The Lake Ellsworth Consortium is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc).

RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) ? Several thousand Richmond residents have filed legal claims against Chevron Corp., seeking compensation for a refinery fire that fouled the region's air for hours and sent more than 4,000 people to seek medical care for breathing problems and irritated eyes.

Hundreds of residents showed up at a makeshift claim center in Richmond on Friday, and many more submitted claims throughout the week by calling a special hotline Chevron established after Monday's explosion and fire. The company said a total of about 3,800 people had submitted claims through Friday afternoon.

Most of the claims appear to be asking for modest amounts, reflecting the fact that there have been no reports of serious injury and nearly all seeking medical care were treated and released after a few hours in the hospital.

"It's not about the money," said Chanel Harris, who was seeking reimbursement for the cost of taking her three young children to the emergency room of the nearby Kaiser Hospital. "It's about holding Chevron accountable."

Harris spent about an hour in line and another 10 minutes talking to a claims adjuster inside the Nevin Community Center in Richmond. She said she won't know how much she's seeking until Kaiser sends a bill.

Harris and others with medical insurance who sought care immediately after the incident are expecting reimbursements for their deductibles, drugs and other expenses.

Monica Morales, 26, waited for about two hours with her three children ages 6 weeks to 7 years old to file her claim. She's seeking about $500.

Others were told by a Chevron representative to expect even less, perhaps as little as $25 for a Kaiser copay.

"We are going to pay all appropriate and reasonable expenses," Chevron spokesman Sean Comey said.

Others, like Percy Gallon who showed up without receipts and other proof of expenses, were told they faced an uphill battle to receive anything.

"It's disappointing," said Gallon, a 61-year-old Richmond resident who said he lived out of the area when others received payments of about $1,000 each after a fire at the refinery in the 1990s. "I want in on this one."

The Chevron center in this gritty, blue-collar town about 15 miles northeast of San Francisco will remain open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. until noon Saturday. Handling claims face-to-face is a new approach for Chevron, which has had dozens of accidents small and big in the more than 100 years its refinery has been located in Richmond.

"It's all part of our attempts at community outreach," said Chevron spokeswoman Melissa Ritchie. She added the company typically processed claims on the phone after previous accidents.

Richmond lawyer Nick Haney, who had long lines outside his office earlier in the week, said he expects to represent about 3,000 residents with legal claims. Haney said he hopes to negotiate a settlement with the company before filing lawsuits.

Mike Meadows, a Walnut Creek lawyer who has helped settle lawsuits for tens of millions of dollars against Chevron and other refineries because of previous mishaps, said he isn't participating in this incident because of the expected low payouts.

"The liability is pretty clear," Meadows said. "And I'm sure the victims showed up to the doctors with legitimate complaints." But he said most of the health problems caused by the fire likely were minor irritants rather than significant injuries.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District said it was still investigating the fire's effects on the region's air quality.

"While air samples taken near the facility detected normal background levels of toxic air contaminants, there was the potential for significant smoke in the area that impacted residents in the downwind neighborhoods," the district said in a statement Thursday. "The likely source of health impacts from the fire is particulate matter from smoke."

The district said it found one dangerous chemical, acrolein, above safe levels in the air, although safe levels of the chemical often are exceeded in the Bay Area. Acrolein can cause runny noses and irritate eyes.

In all, five separate investigations will be done to determine the cause and effects of the Richmond refinery fire.

The same U.S. Chemical Safety Board team that investigated the oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico, for one, was standing by with state and company inspectors waiting for structural and environmental tests to see if it was safe to enter the unit.

Rescue under way in Antarctica

9 August 2012 Last updated at 02:06 ET

An international mission to rescue a sick US citizen working at a research centre in the Antarctic is under way.

An Australian Airbus A319 landed at an icy runway of the US McMurdo station, after a five-hour flight from Christchurch in New Zealand.

The US requested help from Australia, saying the patient - who has not been identified - may require treatment beyond that available at the base.

New Zealand's air force is monitoring the rescue operation.

"The patient is currently stable but may require immediate corrective surgery," a statement by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) said.

It added that the base was "not equipped for the type of procedure being contemplated".

The base's runway is one of the few in the Antarctic that remains operational for much of the year, despite the polar darkness and hostile conditions.

Searching for a fundamental 'particle' of mental health

The discovery of the Higgs particle, which gives matter its mass, was a huge breakthrough for scientists since "confirming its existence was imperative to a full scientific understanding of the world," and its has an equivalent that has yet to be found?when it comes to mental health, forensic psychiatrist?Erik Roskes writes for?The Crime Report.

The equivalent of the "Standard Model" of mental health ? Higgs plays an essential part in the "Standard Model" of physics ? is a world in which "people are not penalized for their illnesses but rather than an array of tools from which to choose and which they can use to become mentally healthy," Roskes writes.

Though those tools have not yet been identified, there are paths down which researchers are going to find them, including molecular and pharmaceutical research; psychotherapies and rehabilitation. Research has led to pharmaceutical approaches, "not perfect, but far preferable to a world without them," he writes. It has led to cognitive therapy to treat depression, anxiety and, in some cases, psychosis. It has also led to advances in rehabilitation of mental illnesses and developmental disabilities like autism.

Like the search for the Higgs particle, finding its equivalent in the world of mental health is worth the search, Roskes concludes. (Read more)

UK offers more nonlethal aid to Syria's opposition

LONDON (AP) ? Britain's government is giving an extra 5 million pounds (US$7.8 million) worth of aid to Syria's opposition, supplying items including communications equipment, body armor and medical supplies to non-armed rebel groups, the foreign ministry said Friday.

Foreign Secretary William Hague insisted that the U.K. would not supply any weapons ? and said supplies were not intended for rebel fighters ? but declined to specify exactly who would receive the equipment, saying they would likely be targeted as a result.

Britain has previously given 1.4 million pounds (US$2.2 million) worth of nonlethal support to Syria's opposition. The United States has earmarked a fund of $25 million to spend on nonlethal communications assistance.

Syrian President Bashar Assad's crackdown on popular uprisings that began in March 2011 has evolved into a full-blown civil war in the Arab country. Human rights activists estimate 20,000 people have died in the conflict.

"This is assistance that will help save lives," Hague told reporters at Britain's foreign ministry. "It will help people caught up in a terrible conflict."

Hague said that the new British support would be provided to "the Syrian people and the Syrian political opposition," but that to identify specific groups or individuals would likely put them at risk.

"I cannot say anything, of course, that could risk identifying these people to the regime or reveal the precise nature of all of that assistance," Hague said.

Britain has established contact with political figures tied to Syria's rebels in Istanbul, where ex-British ambassador to Yemen Jonathan Wilkes is meeting with political elements of the Free Syrian Army, members of Syria's National Coordination Council and the Syrian National Council.

The U.K. has previously been cautious over direct talks with Syria's rebels. But Hague said the West must help them to prepare for Assad's ouster or risk allowing the country to become a haven for al-Qaida and other extremists.

"This is not taking sides in a civil war," he wrote in an op-ed article for the Times of London published Friday. "The risk of total disorder and a power vacuum is so great that we must build relationships now with those who may govern Syria in the future."

"If we do not work with those Syrians who want to see a democratic and open country, we leave a void to be exploited by al-Qaida and others with extremist agendas who wish to hijack the conflict," he added.

Hague said that discussions with Syria's opposition activists would stress that they must adhere to international standards on human rights despite "whatever horrors are perpetrated by the regime."

He told reporters that Britain was also providing video cameras and forensic equipment to Syrian activists to help them record human rights abuses by Assad's forces.

Hague said civilians in areas under regime control would receive supplies including "paramedic trauma kits, specialist trauma treatment, surgical equipment, field dressings, antibiotics, painkillers and water purification kits."

Satellite phones and electricity generators would help political activists overcome the regime's communications blockade, he said.

In his op-ed, Hague said he was using the spotlight focused on London as it hosts the Olympics to draw attention to international divisions over the response to Syria.

Russia and China have vetoed attempts to pass tough U.N. Security Council resolutions aimed at Assad's regime. Last week, the U.N. and Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, announced his resignation, following a frustrating six-month effort that failed to achieve even a temporary cease-fire.

Hague said he continued to hope Security Council members could agree to settle their differences, suggesting Britain would not pause "for a second in our efforts to secure the united, robust diplomatic action which this crisis demands."
