Johnson City, Tenn. (Nov. 3, 2006) - Head coach Karen Kemp and the ETSU women's basketball team met the media Friday afternoon in Memorial Center, as they get set to open the 2006-07 campaign one week from tonight against the second-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels.
With the loss of their top scorers from a year ago in B.J. Banjo (19.1ppg) and Candace Gibson (12.3ppg), Kemp will be looking for a total team effort in order to replace them. The Lady Bucs are returning two seniors and five juniors, including the conference's Defensive Player of the Year, Nichelle Akers (Sumter, S.C.). However, a new season brings new faces as the Lady Bucs have brought in five freshmen and revamped her entire coaching staff.
Like the men, the Lady Bucs are picked to finish third in the Atlantic Sun by both the coaches and the media. The ETSU women's basketball program had success in its inaugural A-Sun season, posting 14 conference wins. The 14 victories were the most conference wins under Kemp.
After starting the season with back-to-back road games (

19 Action News reporter Ed Gallek got his hands on the first appeal for serial killer Anthony Sowell. It's 400 pages of Sowell's new defense asking for mercy for a serial killer. The appeal is filled with lots of arguments, about how the court "cheated" him.
One victim's mom cannot believe it!
"That's crazy," said Florence Bray, mother of victim.
Sowell was sent to death row for killing Crystal and 10 other women. He kept the bodies in and around his east side Cleveland home.
"You know I lost my daughter and my niece in this doggone thing. Did he give them any mercy before he before he took their lives for no reason?" asked Florence Bray.
The state public defender is now saying Sowell didn't get a fair shake. He says big money defense experts could have done better. He claims they didn't reveal enough about Sowell having a really bad childhood and mental problems. He's also arguing Defense Attorney Rufus Sims could've fought harder.
Meantime Sowell has opened up to a doctor in prison telling him what triggered the murders. He said "I don't like people who hurt their kids, especially women."
This appeal is all separate from an automatic appeal that'll be filed with the State Supreme Court.
But many relatives of victims say kill him now. "You can make all the excuses you want. The truth speaks for itself," said Florence Bray, mother of victim.
Appeals could go on for decades. Attorney Sims says he did his job but he's getting attacked to save Sowell's life. The trial was so expensive it set records and now there's a request for more of your money. They want big money for a detailed brain scan.

This is a huge weekend for trainer John Sadler, who's enjoyed quite a few huge days the past two months after a slow start to Santa Anita Park's winter-spring meet.
Sadler, annually one of Southern California's top five trainers, started the meet with only five victories from his first 62 starters — a very un-Sadler like 8 percent success rate. But he goes into today's racing tied with Bob Baffert for second in the trainer standings with 30 victories, only three behind Jerry Hollendorfer.
Sadler has never won a Kentucky Derby, but he's got one live contender this year in Candy Boy, the 9-5 second choice on the morning line in Saturday's $1 million Santa Anita Derby, and a longshot contender in Kristo, scheduled to run in Saturday's Wood Memorial at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York.
Candy Boy, a son of Candy Ride, has to finish first or second Saturday to earn a spot at Churchill Downs on May 3, but Sadler has a ton of confidence in the colt who won the Grade II Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita by a half-length on Feb. 8.
"What's going to help him going forward is the distance," Sadler said. "I can tell by training him that he really wants to run that far. If he does go on, that's what will be the thing in my pocket. I know he wants to run a mile and a quarter, no problem."
California Chrome, the 6-5 favorite, would appear to be the biggest obstacle in the way of Sadler winning his second Santa Anita Derby in the past five years. He scored with Sidney's Candy in 2010.
A Cal-bred son of Lucky Pulpit, California Chrome had his detractors before winning the San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita on March 8, but Sadler was not among them. The Art Sherman-trained colt has won his past three races, all stakes events, by a combined 19 lengths.
"I've watched him run a lot, he's been on our circuit all the time, and I always thought he was a nice horse," Sadler said. "You can clearly see that he's been getting better his last three starts. I was on board before the last race, there's no doubt about that."
On paper, it appears California Chrome could get a clear easy lead in the Santa Anita Derby and never come back to the field, running his seven rivals off their feet. While Sadler admits the lack of early speed in the race concerns him, he won't try to change Candy Boy's come-from-behind style.
"I think California Chrome could get a nice easy lead, but my horse isn't the run-from-last kind of horse either," he said. "He's kind of a stalker. So we'll get our trip and hope for the best."
Kristo goes into the Wood off a disappointing third-place finish behind California Chrome and Midnight Hawk in the San Felipe, but Sadler believes the Distorted Humor colt has enough talent to make it to Louisville in four weeks. He's never finished worse than third in any of his five career starts.
Still, Kristo's another that needs to finish first or second Saturday to earn a Derby berth. He's in tough, drawing the likes of Social Inclusion, Samraat and Uncle Sigh in the Wood.
"It came up tough, no question about it," Sadler said. "There are a few questions marks there. That horse (Social Inclusion) that's going to be the heavy favorite, a lightly raced horse like that … he might just dominate again or he might blow up."
But Sadler believes Kristo deserves a shot.
"He trains like a good horse and you have one chance at this Derby thing," he said. "We're going to give him one more go at it."
Sadler said Kristo will be given the chance to return to his normal racing style.
"He didn't really run his best race the other day (San Felipe)," he said. "We tried to change his style, bring him off the pace, and he caught kind of a speed-favoring track and he didn't like what we were trying to do with him. You're going to see more of a race where he was second-best to Midnight Hawk (Sham Stakes). We're going to let him run more free and close up to the pace."
Candy Boy will be making only his second start of 2014 in the Santa Anita Derby after racing five times as a 2-year-old. Sadler said the colt's light schedule this year was by design.
"He had quite a few starts at 2 and we thought this is the best plan for him to get to the Santa Anita Derby, not to run twice before it but to run once," Sadler said. "If the plan doesn't work, it doesn't work, but we thought this is what's best for our horse. We're not putting the races or the Kentucky Derby ahead of the horse. We want to have a good horse and we felt this is best for him."
Sadler believes it's a solid Derby field and he has no beef with California Chrome drawing morning-line favoritism.
"I think my horse as the second choice is logical," he said. "It's a good race. The big three (California Chrome, Candy Boy and Hoppertunity) are the horses that are stakes winners already. Then you've got some other nice horses coming up, and this time of year some will really jump forward, some will step backwards, and you just gotta see how they do."
Sometime around 4 p.m. Saturday, Sadler will know if his Kentucky Derby hopes are still alive.

What You Need to Get Cara Delevingne's '90s Fly Girl Look
No one was cooler than Will Smith's Fresh Prince, who brought neon and Nike Jordans to Bel-Air, or In Living Color's Fly Girls troupe, who danced to Wreckx-n-Effect's "Rump Shaker" in tribal prints and crop tops. The decade's influence is undeniable, inspiring Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and Cara Delevingne to adopt this colorful, edgy style as their own recently. As such, we thought it was time to give your wardrobe a hit of fly appeal, so click through our slideshow to see how to look fresh all summer long.
The early '90s were all about excess, including giant logos plastered on just about everything. This season, DKNY brought back their iconic branding via the Black Cotton Onesie With DKNY Logo ($95) beneath a Silver Leather Jacket ($895).
R&B singer Aaliyah helped popularize the sultry tomboy look in sports bras and slouchy pants. Cyrus nails it in a KTZ Poet Embroidered Short Bomber Jacket ($276), T By Alexander Wang Leather Bralette ($375) and Ashish pants (which are half-sweatpants, half-denim) from the S/S 13 collection.

Ora's Katie Eary splashy Blue Seas Silk Shirt ($752) and matching skirt would have made Fly Girls like Jennifer Lopez and Carrie Ann Inaba proud.
Ashish's collection was playfully irreverent and oh-so-'90s, particularly the Oversized Shirt Dress With Sequined Numbers ($467) paired with denim shorts and sneakers.
Photo:FameFlynetUK/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
Funky accessories give Rihanna's outfit the TLC treatment, including her printed snapback, Elizabeth and James Limited Edition Valenti Sunglasses ($425, available in Shiny Black/Gold), Chanel lego bag, and Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Sneakers ($44) in Optical White.
Door-knocker earrings, much like Balmain's oversized Metal Circle Earrings ($322), were a trademark of hip-hip trio Salt-n-Pepa.

Baggini wears her Zara overalls (one strap down, of course) and Moschino Cheap & Chic tee dressed up with Spektre's mirrored sunnies and Zara's chunky pearl necklace.
Photo:Stockholm Streetstyle
Chunky chain-link jewelry and denim jacket elevates this stylephile's white top and jeans.

Pops of neon, a graphic tee, and lace-up boots? The model nods to a handful of the decade's best trends in a Marc Jacobs jacket, Stella McCartney t-shirt, One Teaspoon jeans, and AllSaints boots.

Aside from basketball shoes, rappers in the '90s favored lace-up boots. This street style muse gets it right in Dr. Martens paired with a vintage jersey and acid-wash jeans.
Photo:Getty Images
The British model shows her love for the '90s--literally!--in Minkpink's 90's Tunic Tank ($46), lace-up sneakers, and, of course, a backwards baseball cap.
Team Topshop's Stripe Sleeve Sweatshirt ($45) in Green with a kicky skirt and Timberland boots.
The more chains the better right? Slip on Sara Designs' Woven Chain Wrap Watch ($328) in Black/Gold for a watch and cuff bracelet all in one.
Your ensemble wouldn't be complete without a pair of really cool black shades, such as Thierry Lasry's Slutty Cat Eye Acetate Sunglasses ($564) in Black/White.
Commit to the overall look by styling Vision Streetwear's Graffiti Print Tee ($60) in Multi with slouchy leather trousers.
Luxe, over-the-top clothes had a place alongside urban streetwear in hip-hop too. Remember Biggie's Versace shades in his "One More Chance" video? Versus' Printed Pants ($395) in Black Background offer the perfect homage to the late rapper.
Heavy gold chains were a style staple (everyone from P. Diddy to the members of N.W.A. were rarely spotted without them). We like Tom Binns' take in the form of his statement-making Uber Urban Respect Necklace ($787).
Anyone who's ever caught an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air recalls Will Smith in an assortment of vibrant bomber jackets or windbreakers. We suggest snagging 3.1 Phillip Lim's Embroidered Techno Jersey Bomber Jacket ($1395) in Multi-Blue for an equally punchy, fashion-forward look.
Nike's Blazer Mid Mesh High Top Sneakers ($145) in Black are classics that go with everything.
Wear Bebe's Chain & Stud Jewel Buckle Belt ($39) low on your waist over a ribbed tank top.
On the opposite spectrum of all the tomboy fashion in '90s hip-hop? Fly Girl style, which included sequined minis, leather bustiers, and body-conscious pieces, like Sparkle & Fade's Mesh Block Bodysuit ($39).
We can't get enough of the luxe quilting and gold accents (including a very appropriate chain strap!) on Lulu Guinness' Small Patent Leather Clutch ($390).
Polish your outfit with Borsalino's Baseball Quilted Faux Leather Hat ($137), worn backwards or titled to the side of course!
We love the Versace-inspired feel of Nasty Gal's Lion Medallion Earrings ($20).
Watch any of Snoop Dogg's classic videos, from "Gin and Juice" to "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang", and you'll find him in baggy jeans. Avoid the sag but get just the right amount of slouch in the form of Current/Elliott's The Boyfriend Jeans ($206) in Super Loved.
If you were a hip-hop act in the '90s--male or female--you flaunted brands like Nike and Adidas regularly. Display the latter's famous three-stripe symbol with the Adilette Slides ($30) in Black/White.

I stopped going there for ammo. They hike up prices on everything so dam high and really take as much money from people as they can. They dont even do out of state transfers on normal stuff like 10/22s so you have to buy/order their high priced stuff. They carer nothing other then getting money like the dam lock they made me buy during my last purchase. wtf I explained I once had 4 guns and 4 locks, sold 2 guns, was buying a new gun from them, and they insisted I buy another lock. I asked "So what am i to do with these extra locks I have laying around?"
I then receive blank soulless stares back.
I guess they have trouble with simple math
their logic 4-2+1= 64 you sir have to buy 64 locks and two kittens
F River City Gun Exchange! They can take a long walk of a short pier.
I would rather drive out to Sportsman Warehouse in Rocklin, hell i would rather drive to Cabelas in Boomtown before I go to River City again.
Just so you know you can get ammo shipped to an address in Yolo county. My dear Mother lives on that side of the river so I get my self defense ammo supper cheap via mail order. I treat her to Starbucks often so she doesnt mind my gun related stuff getting mailed there.
I fear paper cuts far more than firearms.
River City Gun Exchange does NOT price gouge. In fact, their ammo is usually cheaper than a lot of places (maybe except Wally's). I think their pricing is very fair and and they always HAVE some, in the calibers I want.
As for the locks, the dealer is obligated to send the gun out of the store with a lock, whether they provide it or you do. If you don't bring one, it's your fault.
It's a busy place, so be ready to do business when you get there. They don't have time to swap range stories, but they will help you with selecting the right gun, regardless of how long that takes.
And lastly, they are ALWAYS packed with customers. You don't get that kind of customer base by doing it wrong.
Do only safe sex. Never have sex with someone crazier than you are.
Don't marry or move in together before you're both at least 25.
Don't have children until you're married five years or at least age 30.
Put 10% of your salary into savings every month no matter how broke you are.
Don't ever screw around with the IRS.
Keep a handgun on your bedside table.
Don't smart-mouth judges, or cops who stop you on the road.
i did bring my spare lock and I still have to pay approx. $8 for a cheap lock they said they had to sell me. why not factor the lock cost into the price when guns dont come with one from their dealer?
I havent found a shop that carries many old/vintage long guns so I drop in time to time and it is always busy. normally no big deal except that most of the staff get worn out and begin treating customers like cattle. I go in for non-glock handgun and get a lecture about why I need to get a glock. WTF I said "no glock" maybe i have a few already
people only go there because they are not willing to go a little farther for better service or have no idea where else to go. The current customer base at River City Gun think this is normal for a gun shop and simply dont know any better.
I fear paper cuts far more than firearms.

Courtesy Beyonce
What does one wear to the White House for Michelle Obama's 50th Birthday bash? If you're Beyoncé, the answer to that question is a super-sexy, super-short mini that looks like a tour outfit — not an outfit you'd expect to see at the FLOTUS's fête.
The singer selected a heavily embellished Randi Rahm dress (featuring possibly one of the shortest hemlines we've seen) covered in beads and sequins. She teamed the jaw-dropping design with statement earrings, a wrist full of Lorraine Schwartz bangles and simple nude pumps. Her hair and makeup were equally fierce — a glossy hot-pink lip, dramatic smoky eye and center-parted mega waves. (FYI: The entire look has a 62% "Love It" rating from PEOPLE readers.)

Even Blue Ivy got dressed up in a full-skirted dress for the party and bonded with the Obamas' dog. (See the adorable snap here.) Bey, who also brought her mom along for the festivities, took the stage to perform a mini concert for the 500 guests in attendance, including Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Janelle Monáe, Mary J. Blige, Angela Bassett, Samuel L. Jackson and more.
Hudson followed Beyoncé's style lead and also wore a mini dress to the affair, sharing the below photo of her and fiancé David Otunga on Instagram.

The entire staff at Jing Herbs has a long and proud tradition of teaching, guiding, and improving the lives of thousands of clients through the use of tonic herbs. Our herbs are sourced from the authentic regions of their origin and we personally travel to China to inspect, select, and approve the raw ingredients. Our dedication to authenticity, integrity, and efficacy is unparalleled in the industry.
Quality Assurance
At Jing Herbs, we sincerely want American consumers to be able to experience and benefit from the vast bounty of the herbs that grow in China, and the 5,000 years of traditional wisdom that has brought the herbal industry to its current position of prominence there. In every way possible, we strive to produce products that achieve that goal, while working to dispel the myth that herbal ingredients from processors in China are of unknown quality. We at Jing Herbs are proud to stand 100% behind the quality, purity, and safety of our products.
Vertical Integration from Seed to Drum
While there are sourcing challenges and questionable practices in the open market for botanical raw materials in China, we have worked hard to stay out of the typical sourcing loop. To do this, we have partnered with a vertically integrated manufacturer. At the farm or wild-crafting site, our manufacturing partner ensures complete characterization of final product identity and composition first with the proper identification of the raw plant materials. This raw botanicals purchasing group has extensive training in botany and Traditional Chinese Medicine that is indispensable during site visits. Over 70% of our incoming raw plant material is ethically wild-crafted. To begin, these botanists test for proper botanical species identification using a combination of macroscopic physical examination of plant parts and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis, looking for unique marker compounds, and also screening for pesticides and heavy metals. Only plants that are the right species, are unadulterated and clean, and have not been damaged in harvesting pass our thorough quality assurance protocol.
At the manufacturing facility, the raw plant material is processed in pure, clean, natural water. No alcohol, hexane or other industrial solvent is ever used, ensuring that no solvent residues will ever be present in the finished extract. If any other materials are used in formulating or packaging, only pharmaceutical grade components are used. The water used for extraction undergoes a purification process that includes multilayer micro filtration, activated charcoal filtration, deionization, and multi-stage UV light treatment. The resulting water we use is USP grade. Through a proprietary reiterative process, even stubborn compounds with low water solubility are extracted into the full spectrum result.
Throughout the processing procedure, the extracts are subjected to extensive analytical testing. This is another layer of assurance that we provide you with the best quality, the authentic species and plant parts, the proper marker compounds, and the full spectrum proportions of constituents. To achieve this, a combination of technologies is used, including simple organoleptic testing, HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), HPTLC (High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography), and UV Spectrophotometry. The HPTLC fingerprinting process ensures batch to batch consistency and no adulteration.
After the extract ingredients are spray dried into a powder, the powder is collected in an isolated temperature and humidity controlled clean room area of the facility. The clean room area prevents contamination of extract powders from moisture, dirt, and other extract powders. The finished powder is double bagged with an ultra low diffusion Mylar® layer, then nitrogen flushed and packaged in protective drums for additional quality assurance.
ISO 9001:2000 Certification
The manufacturing facilities were constructed specifically to conform to internationally recognized quality standards. The Quality System Manual for the establishment and maintenance of manufacturing standards conforms to the International Standards Organization ISO9001:2000 standard for manufacturing. Certification was performed by the internationally renowned Norwegian certifier DNV (Det Norske Veritas), one of the top 3 ISO9000 certifiers worldwide. Compliance with ISO9001:2000 standards is ensured by an on-site audit of the quality system every 6 months.
For an additional assurance of quality and purity, the manufacturing facility and all raw materials processed within are Kosher certified by BCK, or British Colombia Kosher, located in Canada. Kosher processing specifies standards for purity and sanitation, such as separation of plant and animal processing, stringent insect control, and absence of fermentation. Jing Herbs provides quality, expertise, and is the world's most trusted authority in the art and science of Chinese Tonic Herbs.

SANFORD — City councilors appointed members of the newly formed budget committee on Tuesday night.
Councilors tapped Thomas Cote, Mark Lucier, Robert Stackpole and Wesley Davie to serve at large for one year on the committee. Interim Mayor Maura Herlihy and Councilors Brad Littlefield and Ken Burgess will represent the council on the committee for the same duration.
The council's budget subcommittee, comprised of Deputy Mayor Joseph Hanslip, Councilor Fred Smith, Sanford School Committee Chair Kendra Williams and School Committee member Don Jamison, made their recommendations to the council before its vote on Tuesday night.
Two other individuals, Jim Drummey, a longtime member of the now-defunct finance committee, and Everard "Lenny" Horr, a frequent council candidate and a member of the former Sanford Charter Commission, also applied to serve on the committee but were not selected.
Councilor Alan Walsh questioned the method the subcommittee used to arrive at their recommendations, asking specifically why Drummey, a candidate with several years' experience on the former finance committee, was not selected.
The advertisement to fill the vacancies called for candidates to submit letters of interest and resumes, Hanslip said. Only one applicant — Drummey — did not offer a resume, he said.
Hanslip explained the process used by the subcommittee, saying that applicants were evaluated based on their resumes. Members based their evaluations on each candidate's experience with developing budgets, purchasing, contracting for services, and familiarity with municipal and school operations, among other criteria.
"There were six very qualified candidates," Hanslip said.
Walsh asked that the council vote on each candidate separately. The council unanimously approved Cote and Davie and voted in Lucier and Stackpole, 5 to 1, with Walsh casting the dissenting vote. Councilor Burgess was absent from the meeting.
Lucier is a past chair of the Sanford School Committee and owns and operates a local dental practice with his wife. Davie is a manager of enrollment at a Portland health care firm. Cote is a regional marketing manager for a global manufacturer of semiconductors and passive components. Stackpole also is a former chair of Sanford's school committee, and is a technology administrator for RSU 57.
Reacting to the subcommittee's recommendations, Walsh said he did not think that the residents of the City of Sanford envisioned a budget committee with three councilors and two former school committee chairmen as its members.
Voters in November handily approved a new charter, which incorporated Sanford as a city on Jan. 1, among other measures. Under the new charter, Sanford's elected finance committee was discontinued — and the annual town meeting eliminated — and replaced with an appointed budget committee with four at-large members and three councilors.
Davie ran for a three-year term on the finance committee last fall and would have served if voters had rejected the proposed charter. A second candidate on last November's ballot, Nicole Gervais, did not submit a letter and resume to the council budget subcommittee.
The council is currently working on a new timetable for the budget season. Once the proposed budget is complete, the council will hold two public hearings regarding it. Voters will have the opportunity to either approve or reject the budget at the polls in June.

Oregon-Coast Hotel Overlooking the Ocean
Lincoln City used to be a collection of separate small villages strung along the coast. In 1964, the villages came together—but the resulting sprawl lacked a town center, so businesses such as outlet malls, casinos, and antique shops clustered around the offshore reefs instead. Among them is the Shearwater Inn, which sits just north of the D River in the heart of Lincoln City.
The inn is a short walk from the shore, where glass floats frequently drift ashore and migrating gray whales can be spotted year-round (the prime whale-watching season is November¬–April). It's also just minutes away from local attractions such as the Chinook Winds Casino and Eden Hall, a live jazz club.
Many of the guest rooms at Shearwater Inn overlook the ocean. Stay in one of the king deluxe rooms for some of the best views—they're located on the fifth floor. Parlor suites are good for families, with a full kitchen, separate bedroom, and living area with a hideaway bed. All included rooms have a gas fireplace and a single-person jetted tub.
Each morning, staff can deliver free continental breakfast straight to your room. Shearwater Inn also hosts a daily afternoon wine social featuring complimentary local wines.
Lincoln City, Oregon: Artists' Community on Rugged Pacific Coast
Situated along Oregon's northwestern coast, Lincoln City spans 7.5 miles of picturesque public beaches with ample surfing and whale-watching opportunities. Two inland bays, Devils Lake and Siletz Bay, provide nice spots for fishing or boating in the warmer months. About 10 miles north of Lincoln City stands Cascade Head, a towering, 270-acre headland that juts into the ocean. Year-round and seasonal trails crisscross the rugged cliffs; while hiking the paths, keep an ear out for sea lions that bark rousing sea chanteys.
The center of Lincoln City's flourishing art scene lies just a short distance inland. Seaside streets are peppered with dozens of galleries and antique shops, where visitors can glimpse genuine Japanese glass floats. Grab a bite to eat at one of the town's many seafood restaurants, which are known for their fresh catches.

Audi tron Sailing Series 2014
27 March 2014
Naples, Porto Ercole, Talamone, Riva del Garda and Genoa: these are the hosting cities of the 2014 Audi tron Sailing Series, the first environmentally-friendly sailing circuit taking place from April to December dedicated to the Audi Melges 20 and Melges 32 boats created and managed by sportmarketing agency B.Plan Sport&Events.
Milano, March 20th 2014 – The Audi Sailing Series are getting ready to face a renewed sailing season with a "green" fleet on the start line. This underlines the strong committment of the Audi brand with the sailing world, realities that have a strong focus on innovation, sustainability and environment protection.
These values of the brand from Ingolstadt find themselves once again in accordance with the new tron model series, a clever and responsible way to understand and share today's Premium concept. We are talking about the new Audi A3 g-tron fueled by compressed natural gas with regular gasoline and CNG and the A3 e-tron, a practical plug-in hybrid blending a powerful conventional petrol engine with an electric drivetrain.
Both cars share the Audi approach to mobility, no compromise when it comes to driving engagement, daily usabilty and driving performances.
Infact, this year the Audi Sailing Series will be taking the name of Audi tron Sailing Series, whilst the Audi Italia Sailing Team boats will be named as follow: Audi tron the Melges 24 the Audi Melges 20 will become Audi g-tron and the Melges 32 will become Audi e-tron.
The increasing attention to environment of the Audi tron Sailing Series has also given birth to a new partnership between B.Plan Sport&Events (BPSE) and the German company Torqeedo, specialised in electric outboard engines that will be used on all competing Audi Melges 20 and Melges 32 boats, making the Audi tron Sailing Series the first environmentally-friendly sailing circuit.
Fleets will be making their own debut in Naples, hosted by the Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia (CRVI). At the Napolitan city the whole fleet will be starting off competing beginning of April (5-6 April the Audi Melges 20, 11-13 April the Melges 32).
Porto Ercole will be hosting the second act. At the Argentario regattas will be taking place in May (10-11 with the Audi Melges 20, 16-18 the Melges 32) at the Circolo Nautico e della Vela Argentario (CNVA).
Act 3 will be set very close to Porto Ercole precisely in Talamone, absolute new venue for the Audi Sailing Series happening 31 May - 1 June with the Audi Melges 20 and 6 - 8 June the Melges 32 at the Circolo della Vela Talamone (CVT).
The Garda Lake act will be the most appreciated of all. This year BPSE has chosen the Fraglia Vela Riva (FVR) Yacht Club as hosting partner, racings will be kicking off 12-13 July with the Audi Melges 20, while Melges 32 on 17-20 July competing on the Benaco lake side for the European title.
The Audi Melges 20 will be competing on the Garda until the end of August (25-30) with the Audi Melges 20 World Championship. Valid as the last act of the Audi Sailing Series, the world championship dedicated to the small boats of the Melges, is one of the most important event of the international sailing calendar and should call for more than fifty teams.
The Melges 32 will be completing their Mediterranean racing season during the international Boat Show in Genoa happening 3-5 October, event that will highlight the event visibility.
You can get all the latest Audi Sailing Series updates and news on www.audisailingseries.com and the dedicated Facebook page www.facebook.com/AudiSailingSeries.
Beside Main Sponsor Audi, the Audi Sailing Series will be also supported by Fratelli Giacomel and Kuehne+Nagel, Ente Fiera di Genova, Yeykey Eyewear and Olicor technical partners.

How can I get my credit history for previous years?
Dear STV,
For both practical and legal reasons, Experian cannot provide a report for a specific date or even year in the past.
Legally, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act requires Experian to delete certain information within very specific time frames.
Practically speaking, to produce a historical report Experian would have to keep a credit report for every person with a credit history for every day of every year, frozen, just as it was on that day for more than 220 million consumers. It's simply too much information to store. More importantly, there would be use for that old information.
Your credit history is continuously updated with current information and purged of outdated information. Experian retains open, active, positive accounts indefinitely and continuously update the payment history and balance to keep it current and relevant. The accounts show the date opened and have a "first reported" indicator stating how many years ago the account became part of the report, so it is possible accounts you have could date back that far and would still appear in your credit report.
Inactive accounts and negative information are regularly deleted. Once the information has been deleted it is no longer in Experian's system and cannot be retrieved.
Thanks for asking.
- The "Ask Experian" team

Donations pour in for protesters
The plea from Occupy Boston went out on Facebook and Twitter early Tuesday: The demonstration needed money for bail, after more than 100 protesters had been arrested in a police raid.
On-line donors responded with more than $11,000, according to the group's page on WePay.com, a Web service that processes Internet donations.
A day inside the tent city, g16.
A separate plea for logistical needs - food, blankets, warm clothing - has raised more than $10,000 for the two-week-old protest, based at a bustling half-acre tent city in Dewey Square near South Station.
That ability to shake the Internet money vine for cash appears to give the demonstration uncommon staying power, as activists hunker down for the long haul. They are preparing for coming cold weather and say they have no intention of ending their camp-in.
"We've been growing daily, and now the focus is on continuing to grow,'' Phil Anderson, a spokesman for Occupy Boston, said yesterday outside the encampment's makeshift media station.
Inside the tent, volunteers sat at two work stations, monitoring the day's news and other business. "We are planning on being here for as long as it takes,'' Anderson said.
Reaching their goals could take a long time: The loose themes of the protest include reducing corporate influence in government and ending wealth inequality, though many of the protesters are there for personal causes.
The camp was busy yesterday afternoon, as curious onlookers toured the tent city and protesters formed discussion circles to talk about everything from capitalism to composting.
So long as the protest is peaceful and safe, Mayor Thomas M. Menino is inclined to let demonstrators stay in Dewey Square, part of the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway. "No time limit,'' said Menino's spokeswoman, Dot Joyce, "so long as they maintain an atmosphere conducive to public safety.''
At Dewey Square, protesters penned signs this week asking for donations of cold-weather camping gear.
"Personally, I'm prepared to stay here through the winter,'' said Eric Schow, 25, of Mansfield. "Even if we do leave, the sentiment is not going to go away. And there are camps down South and all over the world.
"There's a winterization committee that is going to winterize the camp; there are space heaters that run on batteries,'' he said. "Eventually, they will have to let us grow here. The longer we're here, the more support we gain.''
In-person donations continued flowing yesterday. People dropped cash in a plastic tub. On one occasion, a man in a dark blue business suit pushed several neatly folded $20 bills through the slit into the bin. He declined to be interviewed.
Frank Maloney, 48, of Marshfield, gave $20 to help the protesters. He said he is not concerned about how the money might be used or by whom.
"I assume it just might be used for hamburgers,'' said Maloney, who works with a technology company a five-minute walk from Dewey Square. "There are too many people casting aspersions on what is going on here. I, for one, believe in what they are doing, and that includes how they are taking care of the donations.''
Jason Potteiger, a media volunteer for Occupy Boston, said the money generated from the Web has not yet been used. He said several specific funds have been set up through the Internet, including a fund to raise cash for a generator, which has garnered about $1,200.
So far, cash donations have covered all cash expenses, such as taxi fares, he said.
Potteiger confirmed that Occupy Boston rented a 12th-floor room at the upscale InterContinental Boston hotel at 510 Atlantic Ave., on the night police moved in to arrest protesters.
"We wanted to make sure there was some accountability, so we filmed the arrests from there,'' he acknowledged. "It was just for that one night. We didn't even stay for the whole night. We weren't thrilled about spending the money in that manner. If a Motel 6 had been there to give us that sort of vantage point, we would have rented a room there.''
The protesters have been using electrical outlets on the Greenway to charge laptops and phones for their media tent, but said yesterday they are considering getting a generator in case the city tries to cut the power.
The Greenway Conservancy, which oversees the park, will not allow a gas-powered generator because of safety concerns over the handling of fuel, said spokeswoman Lisa Quackenbush. The Greenway has no plans to turn off the outlets; the cost is nominal, she said.
A food truck festival planned for Saturday in Dewey Square had to be postponed until spring because of the encampment, but overall "the conservancy has had a great relationship with Occupy Boston,'' said Quackenbush.
About 18,000 square feet of trampled sod in Dewey Square will most likely have to be replaced when the protest is over. Conservancy engineers estimate the cost at $12,000, which the park would consider a routine expense after a period of heavy use. "We do this all the time,'' Quackenbush said. "It is the regular course of doing business as a park.''
She said the rest of the 16-acre Greenway is open to the public and operating normally.
The protest has attracted wide attention since Tuesday's police crackdown, which came after the demonstration expanded to a nearby parcel the city had asked protesters to avoid.
Some 140 demonstrators were arrested. Among those swept up in the swift police raid was Robert Plain, a reporter from WPRO-AM radio in Rhode Island, who had been dispatched to cover the protest.
Prosecutors were later persuaded that Plain was working as a member of the media when he was detained and arrested and moved yesterday to dismiss charges against him, said according to the Suffolk district attorney's office.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has announced that it will propose to extend the compliance date for the crane operator certification requirement by three years to Nov. 10, 2017.
The proposal would also extend to the same date the existing phase-in requirement that employers ensure that their operators are qualified to operate the equipment.
OSHA issued a final standard on requirements for cranes and derricks in construction work on Aug. 9, 2010. The standard requires crane operators on construction sites to meet one of four qualification/certification options by Nov. 10, 2014. After OSHA issued the standard, a number of parties raised concerns about the qualification/certification requirements. OSHA is considering addressing these concerns through a later separate rulemaking. The agency will propose to extend the compliance date so that the qualification/certification requirements do not take effect during potential rulemaking or cause disruption to the construction industry.

The Legacy Theatre, 101 E. Lawrence Ave., will show two beloved Christmas movies , "It's a Wonderful Life" and "The Polar Express," this weekend during an event that is becoming a Springfield holiday tradition.
One film took a generation to become a beloved favorite. The other film is the beloved favorite of a new generation.
The Legacy Theatre will show both movies this weekend when it screens "It's a Wonderful Life" Friday and "The Polar Express" Saturday in what's quickly become a tradition at the theater at 101 E. Lawrence Ave.
The past couple of years, the Legacy has shown Christmas favorites on the big screen — even if those favorites originally were intended to be seen on television.
Last year, the Legacy showed several of the 1970s Rankin-Bass TV specials, including "The Year Without a Santa Claus" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in addition to "Wonderful Life" and "Miracle on 34th Street." In 2011, the Legacy showed "White Christmas" alongside some of the Rankin-Bass specials and "Wonderful Life."
"The Polar Express"
* Rated: G
* Run time: 100 minutes
* When: 6 p.m. Saturday, with cocoa served at 5 p.m.
* Advance tickets: $10, available at AtTheLegacy.com or (800) 838-3006.
* Tickets at the door: $15.
The newcomer to this year's lineup is "The Polar Express," a 2004 animated film featuring the voices of Tom Hanks, Nona Gaye, Eddie Deezen, Daryl Sabara — and in his final role, Michael Jeter (to whom the movie is dedicated).
"The Polar Express" is about a boy who has his doubts about many things he cannot see — but specifically Santa Claus and the seemingly impossible task of delivering toys to all the girls and boys around the world. (Earth might be tiny compared to, say, Jupiter, but you wouldn't want to paint it).
The boy takes a trip on a magical train to the North Pole and finds out that having a little faith in the wonder of life can make things far more enjoyable. The film is based on a book by Chris Van Allsburg.
Attendees — kids and adults — are encouraged to wear their pajamas. At 5 p.m., cocoa will be served and kids can participate in a crafts projects. Maybe — just maybe — Santa Claus might visit.
It seems almost quaint now, but in the early 2000s, "motion capture" animation was still pretty new. Other than Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" movies, many people had not seen an animated movie filmed with three-dimensional motion capture techniques.
The process requires actors to wear special bodysuits with sensors on them that record their movements. Then, the characters' faces and bodies are applied digitally (it's no accident that the train conductor bears more than a little resemblance to Hanks).
"The Polar Express" became the first film done entirely in motion capture — or, in the parlance of the Guinness World Records people, "performance capture." Previously, individual characters or scenes were made with the technique, but "The Polar Express" beginning to end uses the technique.
But aside from that notable technological feat, "The Polar Express" holds the same place in the heart that some people reserve for "A Christmas Story," or "A Charlie Brown Christmas" or the other film on the Legacy's weekend lineup.
"It's a Wonderful Life"
* Not rated
* Run time: 130 minutes
* When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
* Admission: $10 ($5 with a non-perishable food item for the Central Illinois Food Bank)
The weekend begins with a screening of the 1946 Frank Capra film "It's A Wonderful Life" on Friday, starring (for those who have been living under a rock for the past 67 years) James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore and Henry Travers.
The story has been told a gazillion times, but we'll repeat it once more. Despite being nominated for five Academy Awards (including best picture), "It's a Wonderful Life" didn't exactly set the movie box office on fire. And in the mid-1970s, its copyright was allowed to expire.
That proved fortunate, however, because TV stations didn't have to pay royalties to broadcast the film … which meant that once upon a time, you could find "It's a Wonderful Life" on three, seven, 10 channels some years.
These repeated TV broadcasts helped make the movie a treasured American classic — 30 or 40 years late, but a classic nonetheless.
These days, NBC has the exclusive rights to show it on TV. But movie theaters also show the tale of how a despondent small town businessman named George Bailey gets the gift of seeing the enormous impact his life has had just by showing up for work, raising a family and doing all those mundane things we all do each day.
For those who haven't yet seen "Wonderful" yet, you'll probably notice the cop and cab driver share names with famous "Sesame Street" characters, and that Alfalfa from the "Our Gang" films found work as a grownup. Also, the hilarious 1991 "Saturday Night Live" sketch introduced by William Shatner with the film's "alternate ending" will make a LOT more sense after you've seen "Wonderful."
Now, since we're being paid to be open-minded, we're not going to jump on the bandwagon of folks saying that a planned "Wonderful" sequel — seriously, it was reported in Variety — is destined to be terrible. Some sequels are better than the originals: "The Godfather: Part II," "The Dark Knight," "Toy Story 3."
But unless the "Wonderful" sequel somehow contains the phrase "Electric Bugaloo," stay on the safe side and see the original now while there's still time.
That is, until I got my November Internet bill.

Craigslist Blamed Yet Again For Something It Didn't Do
from the just-can't-help-it,-huh? dept
So not only is it placing the blame on the wrong party, it's doing so in a way that would only drive the prostitution further underground, making it harder for the police (and the Attorney General's office) to do their job. How smart is that? But it sure does generate headlines... The Attorney General, Richard Blumenthal, had this to say in a letter to Craigslist:
"I am astonished and appalled by Craigslist's refusal to recognize the reality of prostitution on its Web site -- despite advertisements containing graphic photographs and hourly rates, and widespread public reports of prostitutes using the site."To which I can only reply: I am astonished and appalled by Richard Blumenthal's refusal to recognize the reality of liability and section 230 safe harbors -- despite it being the law of the land and widely known and discussed in legal circles.

Debian Wheezy To Take Up 73 CDs Or 11 DVDs
new posts
Originally posted by birdie View PostExcept for things which are not compressible (like PNG/JPG/GIF/already compressed data), XZ can easily beat GZIP tenfold (gzip has a 32KByte dictionary, XZ's dictionary is only limited by available RAM - Fedora uses 64MB dictionary if I'm not mistaken).
For fuck's sake. It's not hard to think how that kind of bloat becomes a show stopper.
Maybe you'd like to install N packages at the same time? That's 64mb * N.
Keeping in mind that storage media doesn't like simultaneous reads or writes, I guess it's fair to say that you'd rarely have N to be more than 1 or 2...
That and Fedora being a bleeding edge distro, it's probably not such a bright idea to install new releases on very low end devices IMO...
Also, having smaller packages does speed up installing (either via local storage or netinstall), so the disadvantage is meaningless compared to the advantage.
I was thinking more about Debian, TFA. I sure hope they don't go packing their debs at those extreme settings.
Fedora yeah, it's been too heavy for that class for years. BTW, what phone has 1gb ram? Most come with half a gig if that.
BTW, the compression / decompression memory for LZMA/LZMA2 (of which Xz is just one implementation) is asymmetrical. It may require several gigs to compress but only a few hundred MB to decompress. And this is per archive with no regard for how big that archive is. So if you have 10 packages and each one is in an archive, and one of them is 512 KB, one of them is 10 MB, and one of them is 60 GB, all of them are going to occupy the same amount of resident program memory during decompression. And because dpkg can only install one package at a time, they won't be decompressing simultaneously. Have you ever watched a large update? It goes through the list "Unpacking" each package in serial (i.e. one at a time). So the amount of memory used by Xz decompression is only going to be about 64 MB total (and that memory will get allocated, then freed, then re-allocated again as each dpkg process unpacks a different archive file).
Originally posted by GreatEmeraldWhat do they put into them, anyway? Every single existing DEB package that works with that Debian release?

Originally posted by allquixotic View PostHave you ever watched a large update? It goes through the list "Unpacking" each package in serial (i.e. one at a time).
Originally posted by devius View PostNow that you mention it, wouldn't it be a smart thing to analyze the dependencies before the update process and uncompressing/installing packages that don't affect each other in parallel?
You could actually decompress all of the packages in parallel regardless of their dependencies, and start installing (in serial) at the lowest level leaf of the dependency tree that is decompressed.
Problem is, most filesystems fall down under heavy parallel load. You get a lot of context switching because the kernel tries to give each decompression process its own fair share of CPU time, and the filesystem tries to give each process its own fair share of IO time, and so on. Look at some of Michael's benchmarks for 64MB random reads/writes with 8 or 16 threads, even on processors that have that many physical threads. It goes down to a crawl.
Why? Because, assuming the individual archives have relatively low internal fragmentation, you introduce a lot more seeks into the operation when you have many processes doing reads and writes in parallel. There aren't really any good solutions that maintain >90% throughput under this type of load, without being inordinately unfair to one process and just letting that one process run the show for an extended period of time. But our modern stacks are configured for just the opposite scenario because of the demand for "responsive" desktops.
Of course, if you have an SSD, seeks are basically a no-op. Telling an SSD to seek just elicits a reply like "LOL OK" because there are no moving parts involved that need to move before the data can be retrieved. So you can get great parallel performance on an SSD.
Alternatively, if you have an insane amount of RAM (greater than 16GB), you could store all the archives in a RAM disk and decompress them from there -- in parallel. That would be "holy hell" fast, and then you could just directly copy the uncompressed data from the ramdisk to the HDD/SDD for long-term storage during package installation.
Shoot; the packages would probably already be in RAM anyway, because you just downloaded them. If only there were a way to "force" those pages to stay in memory between the network-downloading phase and the unpacking phase, so that you don't have to download the packages, write them to disk, read the compressed data from disk, then write the uncompressed data back to disk. You'd just download them straight to RAM, then write the uncompressed data to disk. That eliminates writing the compressed data to disk and then reading the compressed data from disk. But you need as much RAM as the size of the packages you're downloading.
OK, this is cool. This is cool. We're getting somewhere.
Download each package to a buffer in RAM. As they are downloading, directly wire up Xz (which is a streaming decompressor) to the buffer, so that you are decompressing in parallel with the download. Since a lossless decompressor reading from RAM is going to be many orders of magnitude faster than any internet connection, you're practically guaranteed that the Xz decompressor will be sitting there twiddling its thumbs for minutes on end, occasionally waking up to read a block of data and decode it.
As it's decoding, it's writing its results to disk. So at the same time as you're pulling the data off of the network, you could even set it up so that you mmap the network buffer itself to make it a zero copy architecture, so that the data travels: NIC -> buffer in RAM -> XZ reads data from buffer (zero copy) -> XZ writes data to disk.
Then, once Xz writes the decoded data to disk, you just "mv" (re-link) the files to the correct locations.
Installation of packages would go from taking many minutes to taking exactly as long as it takes to download the packages. And the effect would be better the slower your internet connection is.
I think I'm on to something. The only caveat is that you'd have to have enough dependency information up front to know the correct order to download the packages (because presumably you can't install packages before all their dependencies are installed, because the install scripts may depend on some other package already being there). But if you have multiple isolatable independent tree structures (for example if you install Eclipse and all of its dependencies and GIMP and all of its dependencies in the same go) you could parallelize those separate trees and use all of your CPU cores while your network downloads multiple files from the network and decodes them on the fly......
I'm smart.Last edited by allquixotic; 07-10-2012, 03:16 PM.


text: The practice of burying a St. Joseph statue to assist in selling a home or property has been around for a very long time. The tradition started when Sister Teresa of Avila (now known as Saint Teresa) and her fellow nuns started burying St. Joseph medals in ground they wanted to attain for their convents. The practice has in more recent times evolved into the tradition of burying a St. Joseph statue with a few moments of prayer. This tradition grows more popular every day. Our kits are designed specifically for Home Sellers and contain everything you need to perform the tradition: the statue, instructions, history and prayers.

You'll definitely want to cut out some time during your day to sit down and enjoy it because it's over 13 minutes of non-stop action from the weekend. Damon Chamberlain at Frontside Films deserves major kudos for putting it together! The invitation-only double-up contest brought riders like Phil Soven, Josh Palma and Nick Jones to compete against West Coast riders like Randall Harris, Ricky G., Trever Maur, Josh Twelker and Jason Callen. Riders hit the cool mountain water behind the new CIE Wakesetter in a battle for the best trick and biggest trick for a $3000 prize pot. Randall Harris stepped up to clinch the Best Trick category with a giant heelside mute 720. Ricky G., now the most decorated Spring Ride athlete, took home cash for the fourth time in Spring Ride history for biggest trick. Other notable tricks of the day were Phil Soven's nose grab crow mobe 540, Ricky G's Pete 540 and Nick Jones' off-axis heelside backside 540. The CIE Spring Ride is made possible by Malibu Boats, Boat Country of Escalon, CWB, Hyperlite, WakeRoots Pro Shop, FrontSide Films, Phalanx Wakeboards, Twisted Candi Bikinis, The Pines Resort, Chucktronics Marine Audio, NVS Speakers, Cire Boardshorts, SpringBok Designs and RubIt Decals.

London (CNN) -- Jacintha Saldanha should never have become a household name. But within a few hours of her apparent suicide after being duped by a radio prank call, the nurse's name was in headlines around the world.
Her husband and two teenage children have said little, overwhelmed by the shocking death of a wife and mother thrust suddenly into the public eye.

An inquest, expected to open Thursday, may shed more light on the reasons for her apparent decision to take her own life early Friday, three days after putting through the fateful call from two Australian DJs who impersonated Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles to gain medical details about Prince William's pregnant wife, Catherine.
In the meantime, a picture is starting to emerge of a generous, caring woman who was caught up in a media maelstrom.

Prank on royal hospital turns tragic
The 46-year-old nurse moved to the UK from India a decade ago, and for the past four years, she had worked in the hospital where Catherine was being treated for acute morning sickness. She spent her time off duty in the family home in the southwestern city of Bristol, according to UK media reports.
British lawmaker Keith Vaz -- who accompanied Saldanha's husband, Benedict Barboza, and their children, Lisha and Junal, on a visit to the hospital living quarters in central London where she was found dead -- said they were devastated by the loss of "a loving mother and a loving wife."
With the family standing beside him, looking shell-shocked, he added: "This is a close family. They are devastated by what has happened. They miss her every moment of every day, but they are really grateful to the support of the British public and to the public overseas."
UK media reports have quoted an online testimonial for her driving instructor in which Saldanha apparently described herself as "a very nervous person."

But for her classmates and colleagues back home in India, she was a deeply religious, benevolent and bold young woman.
"Jacintha was loving and caring," recalled the Rev. Sister Aileen Mathias, chief nursing officer at the Father Muller Medical College in the southern Indian city of Mangalore.
Both trained at the institution's nursing school in the 1980s. Mathias still remembers her night shifts with Saldanha, who was a year her senior.
"She would share her bread, coffee and sweets with the patients," Mathias said as she reminisced about her time with her old friend.
Saldanha, at that time single, was a nursing student from 1984 to 1988 and said to be a devout Catholic.

"She was very religious. She will pray for the patients. Both of us will pray together for the patients," Mathias said.
Last year, Saldanha visited her alma mater and donated money for the needy receiving treatment at the hospital, the nursing chief said. "Jacintha was a generous person. She would help patients whenever she was here."
A condolence message posted on the website of Mangalore's Father Muller Charitable Institutions described the late mother of two as a "dedicated and caring nurse."
But Mathias also recollected Saldanha's lighter side. "She was a forward-looking girl. And she was very humorous. We cracked jokes. It was fun being together."

Her friends have not forgotten her diligence in her studies.
"Jacintha was pretty studious. She would often score as much as 75% or even more (in exams). And she was an active participant in several activities of the college," Mathias said.
Nathalia Martis, 46, was in Saldanha's class. She cannot believe that her classmate committed suicide.
"I was shocked to hear that. She was not that type who would do that," she said.
Now a staff nurse herself at the Father Muller Hospital, Martis remembers Saldanha as a "bold girl."
"She was very good, polite, but a very bold girl. She was always ready to face any kind of a situation," Martis said of her friend.
She praised Saldanha for her "leading capacity." Martis wouldn't elaborate, though, saying she doesn't remember specific incidents from more than 25 years ago.
But she found Saldanha to be a decisive woman. "She was a good decision-maker. ... I mean she will take quick decisions during problems," Martis said.
A family acquaintance, Ivan D'Souza, also considered her a "confident" person.
"She was a student here at Father Muller. She was a confident girl. And that's what her teachers also tell us about her. She would not normally make mistakes," he said on the phone from Mangalore. "We are not able to digest the news about her death."
Others back in Britain also praised her as a professional and caring person.
Lord Glenarthur, chairman of the private King Edward VII's Hospital where she worked, described her as "a first-class nurse who cared diligently for hundreds of patients."
And the hospital's chief executive, John Lofthouse, spoke of her as "a much loved and valued colleague" who would be greatly missed by her co-workers.
For now, D'Souza said, much of Saldanha's family is in her birthplace, waiting for her body to arrive. "We should get it as soon as possible," he said.
The decision on when to fly her remains back to India is one for her relatives to make, London's Metropolitan Police said.
So far, her family's most public expressions of grief have been made via Facebook.
Barboza, Saldanha's husband, wrote over the weekend: "I am devastated with the tragic loss of my beloved wife Jacintha in tragic circumstances. She will be laid to rest in Shirva, India."
Saldanha's daughter, whose Facebook page is headed by a photo of herself with her mother and brother, wrote: "I miss you, I loveeee you. (Heart) Jacintha saldanha."
CNN's Harmeet Shah Singh reported from New Delhi; and Laura Smith-Spark wrote from London.
