CALIFORNIA, Md. (June 6, 2011) – TOMORROW, Lieutenant Governor Anthony G. Brown will participate in a wade-in of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed at Myrtle Point Park with 4th graders from Chesapeake Public Charter School to promote cleanup efforts for the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay. Participants will stand shoulder to shoulder on the beach and wade in slowly to determine how deep sunlight reaches into the water, an indicator of the health of the river.
In 1988, former Maryland State Senator C. Bernard Fowler began annual wade-ins in the Patuxent River. Following Senator Fowler's lead, wade-ins have been established across the watershed, and are one of the ways Maryland's Tributary Teams highlight local water quality and get their communities involved.
Under the leadership of the O'Malley Brown Administration, funding for the Chesapeake Bay 2010 Trust Fund has more than doubled, providing $20 million to protect and support the health of one of our State's greatest resources.
WHAT: Lt. Governor Brown to Participate in Wade-In With Students to Promote Bay Cleanup Efforts
WHERE: Myrtle Point Park
California, MD
WHEN: TOMORROW, Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

I worked at Jones Soda full-time for more than a year
Pros – Culture and a great group to work with
Cons – Turnover makes it difficult to maintain culture
Advice to Senior Management – Stabalize change un upper management and make sure you do not over work your existing team
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Jones Soda
Pros – Creative energy, like-minded individuals, passion for brand
Cons – chaotic at times, need to clarify priorities and goals
Advice to Senior Management – listen to the people in the trenches
I worked at Jones Soda
Pros – Great employee perks, laid back working environment, excellent compensation
Cons – Lay offs came unexpectedly, with no indication of upper management. Haven't been able to get a letter of recommendation from my former manager or HR, after I was promised one. Disappointing at the end of it all
Advice to Senior Management – Be honest with employees and let them know of the possible changes that can affect the company
I worked at Jones Soda
Pros – Really enviable place to work from the perspective of the general public. Cool perks from partners. Come and go as you please if you're upper level staff.
Cons – Hypocritical communication from executive management (layoffs followed excessive promises of 'no layoffs coming'.) Lack of resources, resulting in antiquated tools & systems to do our job. The lack of resources also contributed to lack of employee development & training, limiting our career paths after moving on. Too clique-y/too many inside jokes.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't forget that the employees make this company, not the Board and not the Exec team. Every day, you have a building full of people trying to do the right thing. Just take care of them.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Bulls bash the Tigers
Queensland paceman Nathan Rimmington made it a memorable day at Heritage Oval by killing off Tasmania with the first hat-trick recorded in interstate Twenty20 cricket.
Rimmington (5-27) stunned the sell-out Toowoomba crowd of 4,602 by dismissing top-scorer George Bailey (41) and then Damien Wright and Luke Butterworth in a match-clinching 17th over.
The Tigers, needing 50 off the last four overs, remained some hope of reeling in Queensland's challenging total of 9-202 on the small country ground before the 24-year-old struck in the 'Big Bash' opener.
Tasmania could manage just 11 more runs (164 in 18.1 overs) as the Bulls drew first blood in the 20-over tournament in their first trip up the Great Dividing Range since Andrew Symonds belted a century against the touring English 12 seasons ago.
Rimmington's heroics came after Toowoomba-born Michael Dighton recorded the first Australian domestic five-wicket haul by reaping an amazing 6-25 in three overs of his part-time spin.
Dighton almost also beat Rimmington to the first hat-trick after twice taking wickets off successive balls to curtail the Bulls' charge.
Clinton Perren (82 off 37 balls) and Nathan Reardon (54 off 31) peppered the small country ground with 21 boundaries in a freewheeling 126-run fourth-wicket stand after coming together at 3-38.
Dighton ended the blitzkrieg by dismissing the pair and Michael Buchanan in his first over, and then went on to take three more scalps.
Rimmington first set the Tigers back on their heels in their chase by dismissing rampant duo Michael Di Venuto (36) and Travis Birt (34) in the ninth over as they raced along to 1-74.
It overcame the disappointment of just 12 months ago when he missed out on a bowl in his state debut due to a wash-out against Tasmania at the Gabba.
"I didn't get them last year but I did this time," he said.
"It was a massive disappointment then because I had 20 family and friends and then the hail came.".
Queensland suffered a major injury blow with skipper Jimmy Maher ruled out of Friday's match against NSW after straining his hamstring while making 10 as Brendan Drew (3-24) ripped through the Bulls top-order.
Officials had to shut the gates after just five minutes of play as Toowoomba got into the spirit of the occasion, which included irrigation piping for the boundary rope and a local curtain-raiser.

"The people are the ultimate guardians of their own liberty. History, by apprising
them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future."
Thomas Jefferson
Noting the lack of opportunity for visitors to the Capitol to learn about Washington's vivid and varied history, then Secretary of State Sam Reed and Senator Karen Fraser proposed the Heritage Center as a home to the State Archives and the State Library, to make accessible Washington's history to the citizens of this great state. The Heritage Center would hold the treasured records and publications of the state and offer exhibits and educational programs based on the collections of the State Archives and State Library. The Washington State Heritage Center was formally created in 2007 by the Washington State Legislature to provide an unparalleled visitor experience on the State Capitol Campus.
With the new home for the State Library and the State Archives, innovative exhibits telling the stories of Washington through the eyes of the people who have made history; and an active learning center geared to children and students, the Heritage Center will be a hub of heritage resources for both visitors and researchers.
Today, the activities of the Heritage Center include the ongoing programs of the State Library and State Archives, exhibits in the Legislative Building, the Heritage Center website with many connections to resources about Washington, and through the Legacy Project's oral histories and biographies of people of Washington who have moved history forward.
The Washington State Heritage Center building remains on hold due to economic downturns and State budget woes. Meanwhile the need for the building, a future home for the State Library and Archives increases with the State Archives rapidly running out of space to store the state's valuable documents and history and the State Library in inadequate facilities for their mission. "As the economy improves, we remain optimistic that our Legislature will move forward with a new home on the Capitol campus for our Library and Archives for the benefit of our state's documented history, Capitol visitors and for all of the citizens of the state of Washington," Secretary of State Kim Wyman says.
The Heritage Center Today: Although the building is not yet constructed, the Heritage Center is alive and active through the ongoing programs of the State Archives and State Library, exhibits in the Legislative Building and elsewhere, the publication of oral histories and biographies by the Legacy Project, programs such as author talks with the State Library, family genealogy workshops with the State Archives and State Library, and a vibrant website with many historical resources accessible in one location. Check out the links below for more details.
Archives: Valuable historical documents, including the original Washington State Constitution, maps, photos, and records from Washington's entire history are preserved and made available to researchers at the State Archives.
State Library: The Library offers an extensive collection of books and publications relating to Washington State, including all the pioneer newspapers, the original collection of books brought to the Washington Territory by Territorial Governor, Isaac Stevens, and thousands of resources in the Family Genealogy Research Center. All these are available, many online, to researchers and the general public.
Exhibits: Exhibits will feature stories of the people and events that have made Washington what it is today. From stories of the first peoples in the state, through Territorial times, Statehood and the phenomenal growth of Washington into a multicultural society and a hub for technological, agricultural, and industrial innovation will be told through the lives of the people who made our state great.
Education: Activities for children and youth designed to make Washington's heritage come alive will be focused at the Heritage Center. In addition, programs sponsored by the Library, Archives and historical organizations will be held to appeal to visitors of all ages.
Visitor Services: The Heritage Center will include a small café, a Gift Shop, and an extensive Reading and Research Room where visitors can access the resources of both the Archives and the Library in one location.
Secretary of State's Office: The Washington State Heritage Center is part of the Office of the Secretary of State Kim Wyman. The Secretary of State also oversees the State Archives, the State Library, the Legacy Project and is responsible for collecting and preserving the historical records of the state, and making those records accessible.
In this capacity the Secretary of State is involved with the overall preservation of our state's history and making that history available to the people of the state and beyond.
In 2007, then Secretary of State Sam Reed conceived the Heritage Center as a home, on the State Capitol Campus, where the heritage of our state and the stories of our people can be accessed in person or virtually through the Heritage Center Network.
Current Secretary of State Kim Wyman continues to champion the Heritage Center because
the state is obligated to educate and make history accessible. This is public service at its most important.
Researchers, school groups, families and visitors to the Capitol from around the state and the world deserve the opportunity to experience and learn Washington history and heritage at the State Library, State Archives and through education programs and exhibits.
Washington State Heritage Center Trust: The Washington State Heritage Center Trust was formed in August 2008 and is a non-profit organization registered with the State of Washington. The Trust received its 501 (c) (3) status from the Federal Government in May 2009, making gifts to the Heritage Center Trust tax deductible under regulations of the Internal Revenue Service.
The Trust is governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees that ensures that all gifts to the Trust are used to support the Heritage Center and its programs as the donor intends.

In The Conversation, David Brooks and Gail Collins talk between columns every Wednesday.
David Brooks: As opinionators, this is the late winter of our discontent. The world just hasn't thrown up that many topics to generate passionate debate. I'm not counting the new episodes of "The Bachelor."
Gail Collins: David, do you find it strange that we live in a country where arranged marriages are regarded as unwise and antiquated, yet one of the longest running programs on television is about a bunch of young women who compete for the affection of a young man none of them had ever met before? A show where it is preordained that at the end of the season said bachelor will announce that he is in love with two of them and will need the full two-hour finale to choose his mate?
But I suspect you were not actually inviting me into a serious discussion of reality television. You were talking about your discontent. Is this about President Obama or Congress or both?
David: We're at the beginning of a presidential term, but it doesn't feel that way. It feels like the seventh year of a presidency, not the start of the fifth. I suppose that's because the last three years have been composed of these endless and tiring budget fights. One year of budget fights feels like three years of normal time. Read more…

The election of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on September 10th, 2012 by the new Somali Parliament marked the transition to a new Somali Government. The mandate of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), in place since 2004, ended on August 20th 2012. The formation of a new, more representative and accountable government is a critical step toward rebuilding Somalia after over 20 years of violent conflict.
Canada has not had an Ambassador accredited to Somalia since 1990, but maintained a working relationship with the TFG through the Canadian High Commission in Nairobi, Kenya. Canada looks forward to strengthening its diplomatic relations with the new Government of Somalia.
Canada remains concerned by the fragile humanitarian and security situation in Somalia. We support regional efforts to create a more stable and secure environment to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the millions of people affected by drought and conflict in eastern Africa. Canada calls on all parties in Somalia to work toward achieving lasting peace, security and reconciliation. Canada also urges all parties in Somalia to protect civilians and ensure full, safe and unhindered access by humanitarian workers to all people in need.
Canada has worked with the international community in efforts to stabilize the country through support to the political process, security and humanitarian relief. Canada participates in the International Contact Group on Somalia, which brings together countries at the forefront of efforts to support stabilization. In September 2011, Canada announced a $1 million contribution to the AMISOM Trust Fund to assist in its efforts to stabilize the security situation and secure humanitarian space for the delivery of aid. At the London Conference on Somalia in February 2012, Minister Baird announced Canada's $10 million contribution to a Ugandan Formed Police Unit for deployment to AMISOM. Canada's payment of assessed contributions to the UN supports the UN's work in Somalia. In June 2012, Canada introduced regulations to enforce the ban on the import of Somali charcoal called for in UNSC Resolution 2036 (2012).
Since December 2010, Canada has provided $135 million, including $37.75 million in 2013, to support the humanitarian operations of UN agencies and non-government organizations working in Somalia or supporting Somali refugees in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Canada's humanitarian assistance provides life-saving relief, including food, water and sanitation, medical and nutritional support, shelter, and protection, to crisis-affected populations.
Canada is committed to the international community's efforts to prevent and suppress acts of piracy off the coast of Eastern Africa. Canada's counter-piracy objective is to foster a secure maritime environment that will ensure unhindered trade and the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Canada has contributed to NATO's counter-piracy efforts off the coast of Eastern Africa and deployed three frigates to the Horn of Africa between 2008 and 2010. At the UN, Canada actively participates in the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia. Recognizing the importance of regional capacity-building, Canada has also provided financial support for regional capacity building efforts through the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Through the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, Canada has also supported local projects on good governance, democratic development and human rights. Canada does not have a bilateral development cooperation program in Somalia.
Canada hosts one of the largest Somali diaspora communities in the world – as many as 170,000 strong – and it is the most prominent diaspora group from Africa in Canada. Many Somali-Canadians have strong links to Somalia and some occupy senior positions in federal and regional governments in Somalia.
Canada has very minimal trade relations with Somalia due to the lack of state government and continuing conflict and high costs of doing business. In 2012, two-way merchandise trade stood at $405 000. Canada's top exports to Somalia in 2012 consisted of machinery and vehicles. Canada's imports from Somalia in 2012 totalled $61 000 and consisted of steel products.
Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada advises against all travel in Somalia. There is no resident Canadian government office in Somalia, and the Government of Canada cannot provide consular assistance to Canadian citizens in distress in Somalia.

text: How hot is Sara Carbonero? So hot that she may have cost the Spanish soccer team their first game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. While covering Spain's match against Sweden, the smoldering television journalist -- who was named the sexiest sports reporter in the world by FHM -- allegedly distracted Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas by standing behind the net, allowing for a game-winning goal by the Swedes. Spanish fans, though fervent, can't have stayed mad for long, though. After all, she remains a prominent figure on Spanish television. And Casillas? Well, the two are now engaged, so he can't be angry either. Would you be?

A new Wisconsin Historical Society website is coming mid-May 2014! See a preview >>
Approximately 320,000 Wisconsin men and 9000 women served in the armed services during the war. Wisconsin housed German and Japanese POWs during the conflict and state farms and factories were crucial to the war effort. The Wisconsin Historical Society's collections related to the World War II era extend beyond the state's direct contributions. The Society Archives holds letters, photos and personal papers reflecting Wisconsin's war efforts and particularly strong holdings from journalists and war correspondents on the reporting of the war. The Society Library maintains general histories, regimental histories, personal narratives, journal articles, newspaper accounts, and government documents from the WWII era. The Society does not hold service records of Wisconsin's World War II military personnel.
The Archives has no official government military records or official service records for World War II soldiers. For official service records contact the National Personnel Records Center (Military Records), NARA, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63132.
Conversely, there are many manuscript collections related to WW II, containing soldier letters, unit histories, and home front information. There are also rich collections related to the experiences of holocaust survivors who subsequently resettled in Wisconsin, and to coverage by American journalists of the build-up, military actions, and aftermath of World War II.
The Library houses general histories about virtually every aspect of the World War II including battles, major figures, military units, armaments, diplomacy, and home front life. In addition, Library collections include personal narratives, memoirs, biographies, unit histories, and military atlases.
Military newspapers provide a view into the camp life of a World War II soldier. These newspapers contain personal news about the soldiers from hospital lists to sports events in camp. The Library has three key collections of these newspapers:
Camp Newspapers. Carlisle Barracks, PA : US Army Military History Research Collection, 1933-1969. (AA Barrage to Zone One)
Military Newspapers : the Collection of Walter S. and Esther Dougherty . Madison, WI. : State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 1982.
Stars and Stripes (various editions from the Pacific Edition published in San Francisco to the European Editions published in Germany, France and Italy).

Sickle Cell Adolescent Transition Program
Whether it is going away to camp for the first time or going away to college, helping a child become self sufficient and more independent can bring on a flood of mixed emotions. For families of children with chronic diseases, such as sickle cell anemia, these "firsts" are often more stressful, as parents worry about new routines, unhealthy diets, and overall lack of support. Children's National's Sickle Cell Adolescent Transition Program aims to improve the transition to adulthood by teaching sickle cell patients about their disease and encouraging them to manage their own care as they will be expected to do as adults. The program also provides intensive case management to those patients who frequently use the Emergency Department for acute sickle cell complications but do not have consistent follow-up in our Outpatient Comprehensive Sickle Cell Clinic. The overall goal of the Transition Program is to decrease emergency room visits and improve quality of life and self-sufficiency through state of the art sickle cell care.

It´s puzzle time today, so i want to introduce a real classic game, which was released 1986 and later the years, converted to many homecomputers like the Commodore 64, Spectrum and many others, as well for game consoles like the NES.
Solomons´s Key can be called one of the hardest puzzle games of the times and still is.
so, here goes the story:
Dana our magician has to restore the world, which is taken over by demons by getting the Solomon's Key.
through 64 Levels (50 Levels + Hidden Bonus Levels) our magican needs to find his way to the door, which leads to the next level.
like every magician he has skills..Dana can run, jump, shoot fireballs to destroy demons
and can create and destroy blocks to build his way to the door if there seems to be none..
yes, Solomon's Key is one of the hardest puzzle games, you can´t save and if you lose all lives, no matter what level you are now , you have to start again from level 1.
but even cause of this aspect, the game gets very addictive once you start playing it and makes your brain cells go on high power, thinking how to build a good way to reach the next door and not to run into demons.
The Flash Conversion of this Game is not complete yet, but you can play the first few levels.

That's fine with me. That will be the max I will put it though. Have fun! ( :
I just wanted to ask if it would be possible to increase the max resolution in the contest room to 800x800.
A lot of people are posting their entries in the drawing room - which is not a bad thing but not everybody is allowed to draw there and imo it would be fair and less complicated if everybody could use the same resolution.
That's fine with me. That will be the max I will put it though. Have fun! ( :
You're welcome!
Btw, members shouldn't me making Oekaki Contest drawings in the Drawing Room. As far as I see it, entries in another room are not entries for a contest in the Contest Room. If they wanted a bigger size canvas, they (i.e. one of the folks who draws in the drawing room) should've asked from the get-go.

How the Snowden Effect Is Paralyzing CIOs
Whether you describe Edward Snowden as a hero or a criminal, theres no denying the impact that this self-described computer wizard is having on IT leaders. After all, if even the NSA can fall victim to a tech-savvy millennial, how can they defend their data?
Wed, August 21, 2013
CIO — In the aftermath of the great data heist by Edward Snowden, the now-infamous computer specialist who stole top secret information from the National Security Agency and leaked it to The Guardian earlier this summer, CIOs are feeling a little helpless.
"People are saying that if it happens to the NSA, which must have incredible tools to prevent people from leaking data yet still leaks on a grand scale, we better be really careful," says Jeff Rubin, vice president of strategy and business development at Beachhead, a mobile security company.
There's little doubt CIOs are reeling from the Snowden effect.
A New Breed of Rogue Employee Roams the Network
Snowden represents a new kind of rogue employee or contractor: a tech-savvy millennial armed with personal computers who can spirit away highly sensitive data. CIOs will have to deal with this threat sooner rather than later. The old thinking of relying on encryption to safeguard data just won't suffice in today's corporate computing environment.
The 29-year-old Snowden hatched a plan to swipe data from arguably one of the safest organizations on the planet. His age is significant because he's symbolic of today's millennial, a 20-something tech worker flooding corporations across the country. Millennials will make up the largest segment of the workforce by 2015, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
[ Related: CIOs Need to Push BYOD Policies to Lure Millennials ]
Two-thirds of millennials assess their technology acumen as "cutting edge" or "upper tier," according to CompTIA. Snowden, who once described himself as a "computer wizard," not only gained access to sensitive data, he communicated with the media using encrypted email under the codename Verax.
For CIOs, the warning is clear: Your next rogue employee may be good at finding ways around your best-laid security plans.
Social Engineering and Tech Savvy a Dangerous Combo
While there's no questioning Snowden's technical chops—after all, he worked at contractor Booz Allen Hamilton as a computer specialist—Rubin doubts Snowden relied on technical skills alone to do what he did. Rather, Rubin believes Snowden employed social engineering tactics to gain access to computers and download data to thumb drives and, eventually, his personally owned computers.
"My guess is he went to NSA employees, said [he was there] to work on their computers and needed access to them, and gained their trust," Rubin says. "He may have even gone as far as telling them, 'You may get a notice on your screen that there's some sort of intrusion, but that's just me so don't be alarmed.'"

My first thought is were are all the bubbles coming from. Resin will not remove oxidized iron and with all the bubbles that indicates excess oxygen which is oxidizing the iron.
I just re-bedded my resin tank with SST-60 .Cleaned the resin tank spotless, added water very slowly, and did a full regeneration. I don't have a fancy test kit, but my small Phenanthroline test, still indicates the presence of iron.The glass on the left, softened. (very light orange koolaid colour) Lots of little bubbles. The glass on the right is bottled water. With the same amount of Phenanthroline.
My system is an older Autotrol 255/940 valve, thoroughly cleaned, new riser tube, top and bottom baskets, no gravel. With new flapper valves. All cycles work great, including brine rinse.
My specs are as follows..
Tank 9x48
Well water...
Resin 1 cu. ft. SST-60
Hardness 23 PPG
Iron 3.0 PPM
2 People..
I know I should upgrade to a metered valve. But why isn't this (expensive) resin removing all, if not most of the iron..
This is pristine resin, salt use,and rinse calculations will eventually come into play.
My first thought is were are all the bubbles coming from. Resin will not remove oxidized iron and with all the bubbles that indicates excess oxygen which is oxidizing the iron.
If you had iron getting through the old resin you will have a coating of rust inside the plumbing. That is probably why the water is discolored.
Is the water soft (based on a hardness test)?
BTW, there is no guarantee that any resin will remove all the iron in water. And none can if the softener is too small to treat all of your peak demand gpm flow rate. SST is said to be the best resin for iron because it can not be fouled by iron like all other resins.
Did you get all the rust out of your resin tank before adding the resin?
You should use the water for a few days before dong anything to cure the problem.
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Thanks Gary.. The resin tank was spotless ,I think the existing rust in the pipes is probably the reason. Is their anyway to backwash or clean the pipes.
Could you give me a rough idea of my salt and regeneration settings, based on my specs above....
I have not bothered to find the exact answer why, but if I let a glass of reverse osmosis water sit in a glass, the water will form the same little bubbles as in your picture after a few hours. Water out of the faucet does not do this....
The reason for the bubbles, I found out , has nothing to do with the water source.. "Nucleation points" are where the bubbles form. They can be caused by defects on the glass itself, or an improperly cleaned glass, can cause this.
Champagne glasses or flutes, have built in defects or ,"Nucleation points", just for the purpose of releasing bubbles ..
Thanks Catman...I learned something today..
Gary, is there any practical way to clean out pipes that have iron in them already? Since it's already ferric, I assume something like superchlorinating won't do it.
What is your pipe? Old Galvanized, copper, plastic?
If your pipes are full of iron you can try running the water for awhile and see if they clear up.
I don't ever recommend treating iron with a softener but if you must, SST is the way to go.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Tom ,my pipes are 3/4"copper. What would you recommend for treating my iron situation.. 2..7 to 3.0 PPM, and my GPM is around 4....

I did a test today..I cut a 7" piece of copper pipe in half, (From when I installed 3 new Watts, full port ball valves,to replace the old gate valve bypass setup before my softener) about a year ago.
The piece on the right..was immersed in an Ironout solution for 24 hours. And this what the container looked like after,..
My pipe flushing solution.... Fill your bathtub or laundry sink ,half full of water. Shut off your main water valve. Add your preferred cleaning solution, Put a small sump pump in the tub or sink...attach a garden hose to any cold water faucet, or spigot near your softener, Open the faucet, Open the cold water tap where the pump is situated, turn on the pump..This will endlessly circulate your preferred (Ironout) solution.
I have found IO works best if left to sit for a period of time in pipes; or fixtures...

On this day: 29 May
- 29 May 2013 09:13
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Memorable moments that happened on this day in City's history...
Sunday 29th May 1949
Brian Kidd is born in North Manchester.
Kidd forges a successful career with Manchester United and then Arsenal before joining City in a deal worth £110,000 in 1976. 'Kiddo' would play a large part in City's successful mid-1970s team and he seemed to enjoy ruffling the feathers of one or two former team-mates during the Manchester derby games.
He took 10 games in the League to find the net for his new club and by the end of November he'd managed just one strike in 13 games. But if there were any doubters, they were well and truly silenced as Kidd suddenly hit form – and then some.
He scored ten goals in his next seven outings and struck four times in a 5–0 win over Leicester City, finishing the season with 21 goals from 39 games - his efforts had almost helped bring home the Championship in his first season. He scored 57 goals in 128 games for the Blues before joining Everton in March 1979 for £150,000.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

text: From my experience with council IT I don't really see much difference in quality between council IT workers and those from HCL. So I'm all for outsourcing to HCL. At least our rates will not go subsidising a bunch of freeloaders. The more people who work for councils we outsource the better, at least outsourcers have to be accountable. Council workers are a law unto themselves these days.

It was the first time casualty-causing clashes occurred between the two sides for years, although they have been at loggerheads over land, natural resources and how to share power since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein.
The clash occurred as police commandos were attempting to arrest a Kurdish smuggler in the city of Tuz Khormato, said Lt. Gen. Abdul-Amir al-Zaidi, of the newly formed Dijla Joint Military Command. When the smuggler took shelter in the offices of a Kurdish political party, police tried to break into the building, but gunmen guarding the office opened fire, he added.
The smuggler fled during the shootout.
The city, about 210 kilometers (130 miles) north of Baghdad, is a mix of Arabs, Kurds and Turkomen competing for control of the city. It also borders the autonomous Kurdish region.
Al-Zaidi said police had acted fully within the law.
Last month, Iraq's central government formed a new military command to oversee Baghdad-run security forces bordering the Kurdish region, including disputed areas claimed by Iraqi Arabs, Turkomen and Kurds, in particular the areas surrounding Mosul and Kirkuk.
Baghdad-run security forces are not allowed to work inside the Kurdish autonomous region itself.
U.S. forces once oversaw the area, helping Kurdish and Arab security forces form joint patrols.
One-third of Iraq's considerable oil wealth is in the Kurdish region, adding to the tension. Kurdish officials have unilaterally signed scores of oil deals with mostly mid-sized oil companies, prompting Baghdad to blacklist those companies.

The Auburn coach hasn't thought about it. He hasn't lost any sleep over it. He hasn't even talked about last year with the team.
All of that is easy for him to say, of course.
While the Tigers were in the midst of one of the worst seasons in school history, Malzahn was 400 miles away, busy winning games and (eventually) a Sun Belt Conference title with Arkansas State.
So forgive Auburn's players who suffered through last season's meltdown for not sharing Malzahn's indifference.
"It's A New Day" can only do so much -- and it doesn't do nearly enough when talk of the team's double-digit winless streak in conference play surfaces.
Just ask LaDarius Owens. The junior defensive end was elated with the reaction of Auburn's fans after last week's 38-9 win over Arkansas State. Countless supporters approached him afterward, expressing the joy that accompanies a successful outing.
But it's a feeling Auburn hasn't had against a conference opponent since Oct. 29, 2011, when it beat Ole Miss 41-23 at home.
Nearly two years and 10 straight SEC defeats later, Owens hopes to alter the ongoing narrative this weekend.
"We put (the fans) and ourselves through a lot of turmoil last year, a lot of trouble," Owens said. "We want to get a win for us as well as for our fans. They deserve it."
Smartly, Auburn is treating Saturday's game against Mississippi State far differently than its first two contests this year. Yes, both were important for confidence-building purposes as well as to start developing some semblance of an identity for the team. Obviously, neither of those games had any any bearing on the SEC race.
Auburn can beat its other non-conference foes (Western Carolina and Florida Atlantic) and surpass last year's win total with ease.
If the Tigers are going to silence doubters and live up to their own expectations as the country's best one-year reclamation project, however, they know it begins and ends with their conference performance.
"Every game counts, but this (decides) if we go to the SEC championship and how far our season will go," junior running back Tre Mason said. "You have to be locked in and ready to play."
For Mason and the rest of Auburn's running backs, that won't be an issue.
Mason, Cameron Artis-Payne and Corey Grant proved they've been in midseason form since the opener. They didn't do anything to change that last week, either; in fact, the ground game got a boost in the form of Nick Marshall, who finally started to flash some of running ability he had been known for in high school and junior college.
To say Auburn is anxiously awaiting its chance to run the ball against Mississippi State's defense -- which gave up 286 yards to Oklahoma State in the season opener -- is merely stating the obvious.
Not that anyone affiliated with the Tigers has gone ahead and put a "W' down for this Saturday. All one has to do to expose the folly in that is reference last year's matchup. The Bulldogs won 28-10 in Starkville, Miss., in a game where the final score wasn't an accurate telling of the affair. The Tigers' lone touchdown came on a kickoff return by Onterio McCalebb to open the second half, giving the visitors a fleeting 10-7 lead. That score made up for an offense that seemingly couldn't get out of its own way, with the blame squarely on the shoulders of Kiehl Frazier, the former quarterback who accounted for five turnovers (three interceptions and two fumbles) by himself.
That was once an oft-cited criticism of Marshall, he of the 20 interceptions in junior college last season. Through two games this year, he has none. (On the flip side, he has two touchdown passes, which both came last week.)
Auburn's record, perhaps not coincidentally, mirrors Marshall's touchdown-to-interception total: 2-0.
To make that 3-0 this weekend, Marshall will have to continue to protect the ball and make further strides in the passing game, lest Auburn be rendered one-dimensional. The defense has areas to shore up as well, specifically cutting down on the yardage and first downs it allows.
With that in mind, it wasn't any surprise to hear Malzahn say the Tigers can't expect to win Saturday with anything less than a near-perfect effort.
"I think our more experienced guys understand that," he said. "We play in the best league in college football and any time you play an opponent, you've got to have your best."
And a flawless showing is especially important when you enter Saturday on a 10-game schneid to teams in the same league. Remember that statistic? The one Malzahn brushed aside so easily?
Something says his attitude will change if the losing streak hits 11.
