The ACC will be a very young league next season.
North Carolina, the almost-certain preseason favorite, is likely to use at least seven (and maybe more) freshmen and sophomores in key roles. Duke, never out of the title picture under Mike Krzyzewski, won't have a senior on the roster.
Georgia Tech could surge into contention, but only if two recruits blossom in key roles. At Boston College, Al Skinner will have to convert a number of young supporting characters into lead performers if he hopes to keep the Eagles in contention. And at N.C. State, Herb Sendek's successor will lead a team that must replace one fourth-year and two fifth-year seniors.
By Al Featherston
April 4, 2006
Poet T.S. Eliot once wrote, "April is the cruelest month."
He must have been an ACC basketball fan in a year when the nation's best basketball conference was shut out of the Final Four.
It doesn't happen often. This is just the fifth season since 1981 in which the ACC has failed to advance at least one team to the NCAA Tournament semifinals. Usually, it's Duke (10 times in that span) or North Carolina (nine times), but Maryland (two times), Virginia (two times), Georgia Tech (two times) and N.C. State (once) also have provided an ACC presence in the Final Four during the last quarter-century.
This season, though, none of the league's four NCAA entries could get past the Sweet 16. Top-seeded Duke suffered a horrendous shooting performance in Atlanta and was bounced by LSU. ACC newcomer Boston College lost an overtime thriller to its old Big East rival Villanova in Minneapolis. North Carolina appeared to have an easy path to at least a regional final, but instead became the second of three big-name victims of giant-killer George Mason, in a second-round game in Dayton. N.C. State, perhaps distracted by the attacks on coach Herb Sendek, couldn't follow an opening-round victory over California with an upset of powerful Texas in Dallas.
All in all, the ACC's NCAA misfortune was a pretty good reminder of just how difficult it is to survive and advance in a one-and-done tournament. And it's not just the ACC. All four No. 1 seeds were bounced short of Indianapolis. Think about that. The four groups that proved over the course of a three-month season that they were the nation's best teams all stumbled in regional play against opponents with lesser credentials.
So the ACC failed to put a team in the Final Four? So did the Big East, proclaimed earlier in March by ESPN commentator Tony Kornheiser as the best league in the history of college basketball. So did the Big Ten, which actually finished the regular season as the nation's top-rated RPI conference.
Meanwhile, the SEC celebrated the placement of two teams -- Florida and Duke-conqueror LSU -- in the Final Four. It was a great achievement and should be celebrated, especially by a conference that hadn't produced a Final Four team in the five previous seasons (since Florida reached the title game in 2000). Over the same stretch that saw the ACC represented in 21 of 26 Final Fours, the SEC showed up just 10 times.
Even that's better than the mighty Big East, which has produced just four Final Four teams since 1990 and has been represented at just nine Final Fours in the modern era. The Pac-10 has been even worse; UCLA's appearance this season marked just the seventh time in a quarter-century that the league that once ruled the NCAA Tournament (thanks mainly to John Wooden) has reached the Final Four. Even the Big Ten, second only to the ACC in NCAA consistency, has missed 13 of the last 26 Final Fours -- exactly half.
The track record of the other power conferences puts the ACC's achievement in perspective and should remind everyone of just how successful the league has been on college basketball's ultimate stage.
Of course, that was cold comfort as four non-ACC teams cavorted in Indianapolis, enjoying the Friday open practices ... the Saturday semifinals ... the endless Sunday interviews ... and, finally, the dramatic Monday night championship game.
To borrow from another well-known American poet:
Oh, somewhere in this favored land, the sun is shining bright (probably Florida, where all they care about is spring football),
The band is playing somewhere (Louisiana?) and somewhere hearts are light (Southern Cal?),
And somewhere men are laughing and little children shout (Fairfax, Va.?)
But there is no joy on Tobacco Road -- the mighty ACC has struck out.
The ACC has not endured a lengthy Final Four drought in the modern era. Every other power conference has had long dry spells.
The SEC not only had a five-year gap between Florida's appearance in 2000 and the LSU/Florida tandem of 2006, but it also went six years between LSU's appearance in 1986 and Kentucky's bid in 1993. A reminder: Arkansas was still a member of the Southwest Conference when the Razorbacks played in the 1990 Final Four.
The Big East missed six straight Final Fours between Seton Hall's second-place finish in 1989 and Syracuse's runner-up showing in 1996.
The Big Ten missed five straight Final Fours between Bob Knight's 1981 and 1987 national titles at Indiana. The league has been more consistent since, although it did suffer a three-year gap in the mid-1990s.
The Big 12 missed six straight Final Fours between Oklahoma State's appearance in 1995 (when, in fact, the Cowboys represented the now-defunct Big Eight) and 2002, when Kansas and Oklahoma watched Maryland win the title.
The Pac-10 ended a four-year dry spell with UCLA's appearance this year. But that doesn't match the league's five-year gap between Arizona's appearances in 1988 and 1994, or the seven-year gap between UCLA's 1980 appearance and that 1988 Arizona team. In fact, considering that the Bruins' 1980 appearance later was vacated for rules violations, it's possible to argue that the Pac-10 went 11 years between official Final Four appearances.
In contrast, the ACC has not gone even two straight seasons without a Final Four appearance since 1979-80. That pushes the league's streak back into the era when just two teams per conference could be invited to the NCAA Tournament.
In the modern era, the ACC has yet to suffer back-to-back Final Four shutouts. Not yet. But it is fair to wonder if that nightmare is in the offing.
Consider for a moment just how much trouble most fans and writers have filling out their NCAA Tournament brackets after the field is announced.
Now, how many of you had Florida, UCLA, LSU and George Mason in the Final Four this year? (If you raised your hand, you're lying.) It's obviously ridiculous to make Final Four predictions a year in advance. We can't even start to project the ACC's top teams for next year until we see which underclassmen declare for the NBA draft by this year's April 29 deadline, then which guys pull their names out by the June 18 withdrawal date.
Still, recent NCAA history suggests a new college landscape that might make the ACC's Final Four chances in 2007 look a little brighter.
One new trend is the relative youth of several successful teams in this year's tournament. LSU, a group largely made up of freshmen and sophomores, is perhaps the best example. The Bengal Tigers, getting stellar play from freshmen Tyrus Thomas and Tasmin Mitchell, plus sophomore Glen "Big Baby" Davis, out-fought a Duke team that boasted two senior All-Americans.
"As a coach, you'd prefer to have talent and experience," UNC coach Roy Williams told reporters a week before the 2006 NCAA Tournament opened. "But if I had to choose one, I'd choose talent."
Ironically, Williams' talented young Tar Heel team -- with four freshmen playing prominent roles -- was eliminated by a veteran George Mason squad that lacked a single bona fide NBA lottery prospect. In that game at least, experience trumped talent.
But North Carolina's talent base will increase exponentially next season, when point guard Ty Lawson, power forward Brandan Wright and wing guard Wayne Ellington will join Tyler Hansbrough, Reyshawn Terry, Bobby Frasor and company to give Williams a team that's as least as gifted (though not as experienced) as the one that won the 2005 NCAA championship. UNC's status as a 2007 Final Four contender was cemented just before the 2006 Final Four, when Hansbrough announced that he had explored his NBA options and decided to return to Chapel Hill for his sophomore season.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski can only hope that his talented young big man comes to the same conclusion. True, Josh McRoberts told reporters in Atlanta that he would return to Durham next season, but that declaration came in the locker room just a few minutes after the Blue Devils' crushing loss to LSU. It's hard to take such emotional declarations seriously; remember the future Carolina coach who didn't "give a s**t about North Carolina," when asked about the UNC job in the wake of a loss in the national title game?
Players (and coaches) should be given a cooling-off period before being required to talk about their futures. If McRoberts gets back to Durham, surveys his NBA options, then announces he's staying at Duke, take him at his word. Until then, it's wait-and-see time.
McRoberts has a tough choice to make. While he didn't have nearly as impressive a freshman season as Hansbrough's rookie year at Carolina, most pro scouts consider the Duke forward a better long-range prospect. McRoberts demonstrated his unique skill set during the Blue Devils' postseason run, showing off his athleticism with a series of highlight-reel dunks and his spectacular (for a 6-10 forward) ball-handling in the ACC Tournament and in a second-round NCAA victory over George Washington.
McRoberts -- along with fellow freshman Greg Paulus -- obviously would provide Krzyzewski with a firm foundation to rebuild another contender in Durham. But for that to happen, McRoberts would have to pass up his status as a projected top-10 NBA pick, and the millions of dollars that go with it. And he's just one of several key ACC performers who could be tempted to enter the most wide-open NBA draft in the modern era.
The problem from the point of view of the college coaches is that the pro league's new labor agreement will prevent players from the prep Class of 2006 from turning pro for one year. Since the top prospects from the prep Class of 2005 were eligible for last year's draft (when seven were taken in the two rounds), and this year's top prep seniors will be ineligible, that means there's a one-year window for college talent to dominate the selections.
Hansbrough and McRoberts were the league's two high-profile undergraduate targets, but pro scouts also like the potential -- and, remember, the modern NBA draft is all about potential -- of such players as Boston College junior Jared Dudley, FSU junior Al Thornton, N.C. State sophomore Cedric Simmons and Miami junior Guillermo Diaz. Indeed, in late March, the physically gifted UM guard became the first ACC undergraduate to announce that he'll test the 2006 NBA draft waters.
Diaz's decision left Miami's Frank Haith without two-thirds of the dynamic backcourt that carried the Hurricanes during the school's first two seasons in the ACC. How many other ACC coaches will face similar defections? Don't be surprised if there are some strange decisions in the coming weeks. Who would have guessed a year ago that Shavlik Randolph, Von Wafer and John Gilchrist all were NBA-bound?
The ACC will be a very young league next season.
North Carolina, the almost-certain preseason favorite, is likely to use at least seven (and maybe more) freshmen and sophomores in key roles. Duke, never out of the title picture under Krzyzewski, won't have a senior on the roster, and oft-injured junior DeMarcus Nelson will be the only upperclassman on scholarship.
Georgia Tech could surge into contention, but only if two recruits blossom in key roles. At Boston College, Al Skinner will have to convert a number of young supporting characters into lead performers if he hopes to keep the Eagles in contention. And at N.C. State, Herb Sendek's successor will lead a team that must replace one fourth-year and two fifth-year seniors. Even Florida State, which returns a fairly experienced core group, will be trying to integrate a newcomer at the point.
But all of that youth shouldn't obscure the talent that is flowing into the league. Some of it recently was on display in San Diego, where seven (and possibly eight) ACC recruits participated in the McDonald's All-American game.
The heavy ACC presence -- even if New Jersey forward Lance Thomas does pick Rutgers over Duke, the ACC still will have two more McDonald's All-Americans than any other league -- was reminiscent of 2002. That year, in New York, prep stars such as J.J. Redick, Chris Bosh, Eric Williams, Sean May, Rashad McCants and Raymond Felton dominated the prestigious all-star game.
That class provided the core of UNC's 2005 national title team and of Duke's 2004 Final Four team. It provided the point guard for Georgia Tech's 2004 Final Four team and the big man who anchored two top-10 teams at Wake Forest. It provided three of the five starters for Maryland's first ACC title team in more than 20 years. And the McDonald's list doesn't include such stellar players as BC's Craig Smith, Miami's Robert Hite, Wake Forest's Justin Gray and N.C. State's Cameron Bennerman.
Next year's incoming class might be as deep. No one could watch Duke-bound Gerald Henderson win the slam dunk competition or UNC-bound Wayne Ellington take the three-point shooting contest without being impressed with their talent. All of the ACC-bound players in the game had their moments -- whether it was future Yellow Jacket forward Thaddeus Young throwing down a left-handed dunk, Duke signee Jon Scheyer drilling both of his three-point tries, or Lawson blitzing through traffic with the ball.
And the ACC's future is not just dependent on the seven (or eight, depending on Thomas' choice) McDonald's All-Americans who were on display in San Diego. Virginia and Wake Forest also have highly rated recruiting classes coming in this fall. Maryland is adding several promising newcomers. N.C. State finally will get the services of 2005 McDonald's All-American Brandon Costner, a versatile forward who missed last season with an injury. Boston College, Miami and especially FSU are adding transfers of significant impact.
Perhaps the best news for the new ACC is the upgrade at the most important position in college basketball -- point guard. The league clearly suffered a season after losing Felton, Gilchrist, Chris Paul and Jarrett Jack to the pros. Virginia sophomore Sean Singletary was probably the league's best playmaker in 2005-06, but the Cavs' lack of scoring punch forced him to carry a heavy offensive burden. Two freshmen -- Duke's Paulus and UNC's Frasor -- battled for the ACC's assist title, with Paulus finally winning via the lowest assist average for a league leader (5.2) since Virginia's Jeff Jones set the pace in 1979 with 4.9 per game.
The competition at the point should be conducted on a much higher level next season. UNC is adding Lawson, rated the top playmaker in the Class of 2006, while Georgia Tech expects to hand the vital position over to prep All-American Javaris Crittenton, who was once the floor leader of an AAU team that featured Dwight Howard, Josh Smith and Randolph Morris. Maryland and Wake Forest, two teams that especially struggled with erratic point guard play in 2005, expect to upgrade the position with recruits Eric Hayes (compared in some Maryland circles to ex-Terp star Steve Blake) and Ishmael Smith, respectively.
Then there's Toney Douglas, who earned freshman All-America honors at Auburn in 2005 before transferring to Florida State. He was more of a scorer in the SEC (16.9 ppg), but when he tried to turn pro, he was advised to return to college and polish his playmaking skills. He's worked so hard on that phase of his game that FSU senior Andrew Wilson recently predicted to the Tallahassee Democrat that Douglas "will be the best lead guard in our league next season -- hands down."
The holdovers all should be better next season, too. Coach Dave Leitao's new talent up front ought to take some of the scoring burden off Singletary and allow him to return to more of a playmaking role. Paulus, who played all of last season with an injured wrist that required postseason surgery, ought to be a more effective player in his second campaign.
That all bodes well for the ACC's chances of returning to the Final Four next season. Strong playmaking is a valuable commodity in March.
And keep in mind one other thing.
The ACC is not the only league that is struggling to cope with the new college landscape. Top teams in other power leagues also are facing the modern conundrum: It almost always takes NBA-quality talent to win the NCAA Tournament, but you can't keep NBA talent for very long.
Duke certainly missed its chance to capitalize on the presence of two senior All-Americans -- don't expect that to happen very often in the next decade -- but UConn also missed its chance to cash in on Rudy Gay's brief stop in Storrs. It's very unlikely that LaMarcus Aldridge, P.J.Tucker and Daniel Gibson all will be around next season to team with Kevin Durant at Texas. And does anybody care to guess how long the Greg Oden era is going to last at Ohio State?
College basketball is in greater flux than at any time in modern memory. That means strong teams can emerge very quickly. Memphis went from an NIT team in 2005 to a No. 1 seed in 2006. George Mason, also a 2005 NIT participant, was a bubble team in early March before becoming a Final Four team in April. Florida lost a bunch of underachieving stars and actually got better with a younger, less-known group.
Rapid improvement is almost the norm now. Two years ago, Georgia Tech rebounded from a 16-15 season to reach the NCAA title game with a junior-dominated team led by a young point guard.
Is it possible that Paul Hewitt can engineer another postseason run in 2007, with what will be a junior-dominated team, led by a young point guard? Can Williams continue to build on last season's surprising success at UNC? Can Krzyzewski reload as quickly as he did in 2000 and 2003? Can Gary Williams recapture the cohesion and the toughness that made the Terps so formidable in the early part of this decade? Can State find a coach who will unite its divided fan base? Will Leonard Hamilton finally cash in on all the talent he's been assembling in Tallahassee?
These are some of the questions that will shape the future of ACC basketball. They will help determine whether the league's absence from the Final Four this spring was a one-year aberration, or the beginning of the league's decline as the nation's most consistent winner in college basketball.

UK lasagne horsemeat came from Romanian abattoir
Published on Feb 9, 2013 6:07 AM
PARIS (AFP) - Horsemeat found in frozen lasagne sold in British supermarkets originated in a Romanian abattoir, the French supplier Comigel told AFP on Friday.
The meat was provided to Comigel via a meat-processing company called Spanghero, which is based in Castelnaudary in southwestern France, company chairman Erick Lehagre said.
Mr Lehagre told AFP that Comigel thought it was being supplied with beef from French cattle. After the scandal broke however it had established that Spanghero was sourcing the meat in Romania.
"We realised a week ago that there was a problem, after being alerted by customers in Britain," Mr Lehagre said.

Keppel Corp's profit falls 5% in absence of one-off gain
Published on Apr 16, 2014 8:55 PM
First quarter net profit at Keppel Corporation fell 5.1 per cent to $338.7 million, the company said on Wednesday.
The decrease was because the profit figure from a year ago was boosted by some accounting one-off gains.
Net profit for the quarter would have been largely in line with a year earlier excluding these gains, said Keppel, the world's largest offshore drilling rig builder.
Revenue rose 8.6 per cent to $3 billion.

Brendon Ayanbadejo and 'The Other Team'Posted on Feb 6, 2013
This piece first appeared on The Huffington Post. Brendon Ayanbadejo holds rank as LGBT hero-of the-moment. His post-Super Bowl, interview with CNN's Don Lemon showcased his well informed, well-spoken, worldliness, as he declared equality for all, regardless of sexuality or gender expression. Ayanbadejo's advocacy touches down with more impact than many advocates who are gay themselves (including Lemon, who came out in 2010 and has been a strong advocate for the community ever since), and not just because of his NFL platform, his obvious intelligence, looks, and charisma, but because he's authentically not gay. His very straightness sends the message, "You're allowed to be different. Different from me, and different from each other". We need even more passionate battle cries in this vein, on behalf of those who are different from ourselves—in general, not just in the LGBT communities—especially for those who have less power than we do. Now, I'm ambivalent about power, and therefore about top-down advocacy. But as much as it makes me cringe, I also recognize that I benefit from power, and that it's so tangled up into our systems that to completely extricate ourselves would be impossible. Top-down advocacy seems to imply paternalism, a patronizing of the "weaker", and one could argue that paternalism is an inherent problem when we rely on straight public figures for effective LGBT advocacy. But we can also see this advocacy as maternalism, or using power to be nurturing, a necessary process in child development and identity formation; we gain confidence to express ourselves freely, and form a sense of self that is separate from our parents though this process. But as a man planning to raise children with another man, these gender labels don't really work either. In fact, let's remove the "parental" dynamic from this equation altogether and simply call what Ayanbabadejo is doing social caretaking—authentically claiming a position of social power, attuning to the differences of those who are less powerful, and encouraging them to claim their equally authentic but distinctly different identities, and forms of expression. "Wouldn't it be nice if powerful LGBTers could inhabit this role of social caretaker"?, you might ask. Indeed. For example, great as it is that straight movie stars like Sean Penn, James Franco, Michael Douglas, and Matt Damon show the world that kissing other men, and inhabiting feminine clothes and gestures, really doesn't make the sky fall, we would certainly benefit from more of the likes of Jane Lynch, Sean Hayes, Wanda Sykes, Heather Matarazzo, Dennis O'Hare and Chris Colfer in that hot seat. Advertisement Square, Site wide For those unfamiliar with the stone age of reality TV, Danny Roberts was considered to be the most "All American"/"straight acting" gay cast member on The Real World as of 1999. (The show had featured approximately one gay character per season since 1991). It's wonderful to know that not all queer people are created equal (that some are highly sexual, and some are not, some are outspoken, and some are not, some conform to traditional gender stereotypes and and some do not), but when those who conform are the only ones offering us hope, hope begins to look pretty limiting, and therefore pretty grim. Perhaps the time will come when a variety of queer people will be as highly influential as Brendan Ayanbadejo, and I hope it's soon. The more people leading authentic lives—authentically negotiating between conformity, and nonconformity, power, and vulnerability, freedom and limitations—the more we'll all feel entitled to do so in our own way. However, while people continue to bravely live their truth, we also need those on top, those holding the trophy of social power, to authentically reflect on their own identities, their own status, and to pave the way for those who are different from them to do the same. Like an attuned caretaker to one less powerful, this process provides safety and permission to be authentically separate but equal.

Kass: Getting a Grip on the New Reality
This blog post originally appeared on RealMoney Silver on Nov. 11 at 7:44 a.m. EST.
Investors face unconventional headwinds today, both short and intermediate term.
As always, a sense of time frame is of paramount importance in matters of investing and trading. This might be more so today than in prior cycles as broad and systemic controversies have, by definition, uncertain outcomes and help to explain the almost unimaginable market volatility and the fatigue we all face when confronting routine intraday swings of 3% to 5%.
We have to be honest with ourselves and respect that the complexity of today's economic challenges renders the investment mosaic unusually ambiguous. It is hard to be convicted in any time frame.
I have emphasized that there are three important questions that we must ask ourselves in order to frame our stock market expectations. I'll present them again below but this time with my answers in italics:-
1. How deep and long-lasting will the recession be?
While the largest year-over-year decline in GDP will probably be in the current quarter, it is unlikely that the economy will recover until late next year.
2. Who will be the marginal buyer to sustain the current rally?
With mutual fund and hedge fund investors withdrawing capital at a record rate and corporations likely to husband their resources (at the expense of accelerating their corporate stock buybacks), it is difficult to see a materially improving demand/supply equation for equities over the next six months that would serve to sustain a market advance.
3. To what degree have current market prices discounted a weakening earnings and economic picture?
Arguably, stock prices have, to some degree, discounted the weaker economic and profit backdrop.
The Short Term
There are a number of short-term influences:- Obviously, we have the selling associated with hedge fund redemptions.
- Also, we must consider the degree to which fiscal and monetary policy will affect the slope of the economy.
- Whither the emerging markets?
- How broad will the Treasury's umbilical chord of capital need to be in order to stabilize the credit markets?
- How long is the toxic reach of the arms of American International Group (AIG - Get Report) and Lehman Brothers?
- Will there be a bailout of the automobile manufacturers?
- What will be the effect of the change in our government's leadership?
- Finally, remember that we have entered a period of seasonal year-end market strength.

Wasn;t a problem per se, I just didn't see the save button below.
Thanks for the response, but I must be having a different problem; neither use of the "Apply the Theme" and/or use of the "Save" buttons work; won't 'reset' or change it. But it really messed up the custom settings I had before.
But thanks again, Hosie

Key Figure in Holloway Case Wanted in Peruvian Slaying
June 2) -- Officials in Peru are calling Joran van der Sloot, a longtime suspect in the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, the prime suspect in the brutal stabbing death of a 21-year-old woman in Lima.
Peruvian newspaper El Comercio reports that Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez was found dead inside a room at the hotel Tac in the Miraflores district this morning.
The woman had been stabbed and wrapped in a blanket.
Family members of the victim say she was last seen with van der Sloot at a local casino. The hotel room in which her body was found was also reportedly registered in van der Sloot's name.
The International Criminal Police Organization has issued an arrest warrant for van der Sloot; however, ABC News is reporting that he has already left the country and is believed to be en route to Argentina.
This latest news comes just three days after the anniversary of Holloway's unsolved disappearance.
Holloway, from Mountain Brook, Ala., disappeared May 30, 2005, while on a trip to Aruba to celebrate her high school graduation. Her body has never been found.
Holloway's classmates said they last saw her leaving an Oranjestad nightclub called Carlos 'n Charlie's with van der Sloot, then a 17-year-old Dutch honors student living in Aruba, and his two friends, Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. All three were arrested, but they were released without charge.
From the outset, van der Sloot allegedly has made multiple confessions in the case, each varying significantly. As a result, Aruban prosecutors have deemed them a mixture of "lies and fantasy" and have decided not to take action against him.
Holloway's family has not yet commented on today's developments.

The air is thick with the promise of rain, but she hardly notices. Hers is a brisk rush through the darkening world, hands full, sneakers kicking up bits of grass in her wake. A breeze runs its ethereal fingers through her hair. It tickles under the collar of her jacketthat's the first thing she really feels.
Clouds lower overhead like great gray wings on a downstroke. She's never noticed the scent of cloud before, but she can smell it now, carried by the breeze. The dense layer of shifting black and gray above says hush, and the whole world listens. Birds become still and small. Dogs blink up at the sky, scenting the rain, and even the pond fish glide very softly up to the surface of the water, waiting to feel the first cool drops on their backs.
A reverberating growl of thunder stops her in her tracks. It rolls and crashes into its own echoes, rumbling through her very core. Her face tilts up and the first drop of rain tumbles through the atmosphere at a dizzying speed, then hits her forehead with an infinitesimal sigh of relief.
The heavens open up. Rain pours down in cool torrents and the birds preen themselves beneath sheltering clusters of leaves. Canine gray and blue and amber eyes close. The fish leap into the air just because they can, just to feel the connection between water and sky. Her world melts away, chains dissolved, gravity slipping out from beneath her.
Her book hits the ground, the pages shrinking away from the droplets that hang like diamonds on the grassblades. Her jacket follows, becoming just another nondescript lump in a world of shifting contours. Her hair, painstakingly done up, tumbles down around her, and the rain rolls in rivulets down each lock.
For that brief second she stands there, soaked, vulnerable, a meaningless speck under the weight of the vast cosmosfinally alive.

Mourinho insists Terry 'is not a racist'
Published on Sep 28, 2012 8:32 PM
PARIS (AFP) - Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho leapt to the defence of John Terry on Thursday, insisting the controversial defender is not a racist.
Terry was handed a four-match ban by the English Football Association (FA) and fined £220,000 (S$440,000) after being found guilty of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand.
The 31-year-old has 14 days from receiving the written reasons for the decision to lodge an appeal against a decision relating to an incident that took place during Chelsea's match away to QPR at Loftus Road on October 23 last year.
"He is not a racist," said Mourinho, who coached Terry at Chelsea from 2004 to 2007.

However Sena persistently tries to get in and admits that she wants friend as well. Turn out even though she is popular she has no friend that she can really hang out with.

Dover shortstop Kristin Boduch, right, tears around the bases as the ball, hit by teammate Emily Schlapak, skitters into the outfield during Division I action Thursday night in Rochester. Spaulding shortstop Gabby Connelly is at left. (Doyle/Democrat photo)
ROCHESTER — Molly St. Germain has been hot and cold all season. On Thursday night, the Dover High School softball right fielder was definitely hot.St. Germain drove in four runs, including the game-winning double, to lead Dover over rival Spaulding in an 8-5, come-from-behind Division I victory under the lights."I'm not a consistent batter," St. Germain said. "I just thought contact, contact, contact, and it will go somewhere. It feels good to help the team, and that's all that matters."St. Germain's double in the top of the sixth inning capped a four-run rally for the Green Wave, who improved to 8-1 on the season."We're always playing from behind," Dover coach Tim Dudley said. "Not always, but when we are behind, we don't hang our heads. We come back. The hitting is key all the time for us and it comes in when we need it."St. Germain drove in a pair of insurance runs in the top of the seventh to expand Dover's lead to 8-5. That was plenty of breathing room for Dover pitcher Kylie McFadden, who closed the book on the Red Raiders with the potential tying run at the plate.

3.8 million Syrians are refugees. This is the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era.
The Syrian conflict and its impact on the surrounding region has resulted in a mega-crisis, with over 3.8 million Syrians seeking refuge in neighbouring countries. To make things worse, winter storms have brought snow and freezing temperatures - damaging tents and other temporary shelters.
Um Ahmed and her husband Mohammed live in a damp apartment with peeling paint and crumbling walls in Jordan. They have three sons, two of whom are living with disability, but can only afford medical treatment for one of them."I wish I could treat my children, I wish to see my children in better health, but we don't have the means of treating them as it's very expensive," Um Ahmed said. "I love my children very much and I accept them as they are but I wish I could afford better treatment for them."
Refugees like Um Ahmed and her children urgently need your help.
What is UNHCR doing to help
UNHCR provides basic and necessary humanitarian aid for Syrians struggling with the harsh climate conditions and helping the most vulnerable refugees with urgently needed relief - cash for medicine and food, stoves and fuel for heating, insulation for tents, thermal blankets and winter clothing.
By helping refugees in the surrounding region, UNHCR hopes to reduce the number of desperate Syrians resorting to smugglers and falling prey to traffickers to reach safety elsewhere.
Thanks to the generous support of our donors in the past year alone, 1.7 million refugees received food aid, 350,000 children were enrolled in school, and shelter in camps was provided for more than 400,000 refugees.
You can help make a difference.
Please donate to keep refugees warm and safe this winter
With your kind donation, UNHCR can help refugee children and families receive the life-saving relief and support they desperately need.
Could provide two families with synthetic mats to prevent them from sleeping on the ground
Can provide high thermal fleece blankets to keep a family warm during the bitter winter months
Can provide kitchen equipment for eight families to cook warm food throughout the winter
Can provide a tent to shelter a family from the harsh weather
UNHCR's refund policy
If you have any queries about your donations to the UN refugee agency, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. In the event that further information is needed, you can visit WorldPay's knowledgebase for a comprehensive set of Shopper FAQs, which can give you advice on refunds.

Thierry Henry says returning to Arsenal with Barcelona on Wednesday was an emotional experience for him.
The former Gunners striker was delighted with the reception he got from his former fans, and praised the Arsenal supporters for getting behind their team at 2-0 down.
Henry believes the atmosphere at the Emirates gave the Arsenal players confidence to get back into the game.
He said: "It was very emotional. It was pretty special and obviously when I came on you heard what happened.
"The most special moment was at the end. Like we always do with the team at Barcelona, we went to see our fans and I said to myself that I have to clap the Arsenal fans for the welcome back they gave me. You saw what happened after that.
"I always said I have never hidden the love I have for the club and I think the fans showed tonight that they still love me. So it was a great feeling – amazing.
"I have said it so many times, it always helps because sometimes you can be 2-0 down at home and if your fans start to boo you it's another story but the Arsenal fans were helping them and trying to help them come back in the game, and they did.
"On the other side it would have been better for us to come back with a win, but 2-2 is not a bad result. But I'm not surprised at all [that Arsenal came back], I know exactly what can happen here."

How Do I Set Up Free Shipping?
Magento allows you to offer Free and Flat Rate shipping along with real-time rates from the major carriers. In this article we will look at Free Shipping as a method. If you want to learn how to set up Flat Rate shipping as a method see How do I set up flat rate shipping (per item or per order?
As always, the first step to offering Free Shipping as a method is setting the Enabled dropdown to Yes.
After that you can edit both the Title and the Method name displayed to your customers. Here we have the Title set to Free Shipping and the Method set to Free. Here is how that is displayed on the Front-end:
To allow Free Shipping only on orders over a certain amount, enter a value in the Minimum order amount field. Here we have the minimum amount set to 100. If the sub-total of the customer's cart after other discounts have been applied is over the minimum amount the method will be displayed.
An example: If the customer has a sub-total of $105.00 in their cart they will have the option of selecting the Free Shipping method. However, if the customer entered a 10% coupon in the cart they would no longer have the Free Shipping option, as the sub-total after discounts is now $94.50.
Define the countries filter, message that will appear if the method is not available but you choose to display it anyway, and the sort order. When you are finished, click Save Config.

We had a great time on our trip. The boat staff was accommodating and the dancing was very fun! Isla Catalina was gorgeous.
Doing what: Catalina Island Snorkel Excursion from Punta Cana
We stayed at the Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana. The bus picked us up promptly and it was about a 90 minute ride to La Romana. Once there, we boarded the boat and were offered beverages. We made our way out to the coast of Catalina Island which took about 30 minutes. All the while our guides were giving instructions about where we should go as there were snorkelers and scuba divers on this excursion. Snorkelers and scuba divers got in the water at the first stop. The water was rough. I don't know if this is the case all the time, but some people had to use life vests and noodles to help them navigate the water. We did see a lot of fish and coral! I am not sure if this is worth noting, but 3 people including myself, became sea sick due to the rough waters. The second site was for the scuba divers only. The rest of us were shipped off to spend the afternoon on the beach at Catalina. There was some ok snorkeling to do off the beach. I would highly recommend water shoes! The lunch was delicious. We were served rice, veggies, noodles, chicken and pork. Rum, beer, water and various sodas were offered throughout the trip. After lunch we had about another hour to relax on the beach and then headed back to La Romana. The staff was extremely enthusiastic and fun, on the way back there was a lot of dancing and drinking! The bus ride home was pleasant enough, although it can be lengthy because you may have to wait while other guests are dropped off at their individual hotels.

This tour was interesting.The staff and crew were helpful and professional.However the stop at catalina was terrible.There were flies there that bit me to pieces and left my legs bloody.The lounge chairs were uncomfortable and generally the stop could have been skipped.

Slushy Morning Will Give Way to Rainy Afternoon
The National Weather Service says a winter weather advisory remained in effect for central North Carolina through 10 a.m. Friday. Forecasters say freezing rain will shift to rain through late morning in the Triangle and Triad. Meteorologist Nick Petro says temperatures will hover around the freezing mark.
"We're going to have to watch out for local slick spots, mainly on bridges and overpasses first, and as we get to the late morning, temperatures will then rise back above freezing," Petro says.
"We're not done with this yet, but the good news is the back edge (of the storm) is quickly moving east.
Most public schools are operating on a delay Friday. Districts on a three hour delay include Orange, Wake, Durham, Alamance, and Guilford. Two-hour delays are in effect for Chatham, Johnston, Harnett, Franklin and Granville. Person and Winston-Salem/Forsyth Schools are closed today.

PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.
HEALTHAlthough it's not a topic any of us really want to think about, responsible dog parenting requires that we give some thought to what would happen to our dogs if one day we didn't come home.
FIRST TIME OWNERS Congratulations! You've decided to bring a new little four-legger into your family's home. Now comes the big decision: should you get a dog or a cat? Here are a few things to consider as you make your decision.
HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy! Learn the basics of finding a vet and getting puppy vaccinated.
DOG HEALTHThere are many benefits to spaying and neutering, but there are also more than a few risks. We want to give you often overlooked information you need to make a full and informed choice.
ADOPTION Are you intimidated by the prospect of "rescuing" a dog from a shelter? One reason that you may be wary of adopting a dog from a shelter is not knowing how to choose. Adopting a dog from a shelter can be a rewarding process, if you're prepared to do a reasonable amount of research.

I am making a recipe that calls for Roasted Barley. LHBS didn't carry. I have some leftover Flaked Barley. Can this be roasted in oven to make roasted barley?
No. In a pinch, you might get away with roasting 2-row, but flaked won't work. Roasted barley is produced from unmalted whole barley (so, even roasted 2-row wouldn't technically be correct).
I'm surprised that they didn't have Roasted Barley. What are you making? If it's just a little for color you can swap it out. In small amounts you could substitute Black Patent, Chocolate, Carafa, or Carafa Special.
I am making a Bass Ale Clone (Biermuncher). I have seen other recipes w/o roasted barley. I ordered from Austin Homebrew. I could only find dark roasted barley.
AHS "black roasted barley" = roasted barley
Flacked barley is unmalted barley that has gone through a gelatinization process to release the starches. So, it really won't give you the same results as starting with raw barley. Also, the difference between roasted & totally burned is very small.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk

KITCHENER — The owner of one of the most historically significant houses in the city does not know how the building can be saved because of water damage, mould and crumbling bricks.
The Schoerg farm house at 381 Joseph Schoerg Cr. is protected under the Ontario Heritage Act, but when the owner started working on the building a few months ago he discovered several problems.
Patrick George, of JHS Properties Inc., said the old farm house had been sandblasted, which removed the hard surface from the bricks and allowed water to seep inside.
The freezing and thawing of that water cracked and chipped the bricks, which are the main supports for the exterior walls. An addition on the back of the building was poorly constructed, and water seeped inside there as well.
"This is just filled with mould," George said. "You can smell it s soon as you go in there."
In 1800, Joseph Schoerg bought 261 acres (105 hectares) of land in the area now known as Pioneer Tower West. His father-in-law, Samuel Betzner, bought the land next door. Together, they established the first inland settlement in Upper Canada.
They are buried in a small cemetery on the ridge overlooking the Grand River, near the Pioneer Tower at the end of Lookout Lane.
Joseph Schoerg left the property to his son David, who was born in 1801. He was the first non-native child born in what would become Waterloo County and was the first Canadian-born minister of the Mennonite Church.
The old farm house at 381 Joseph Schoerg Cr. and the nearby barn were built by David around 1830, according to city documents.
"It's unfortunate this house wasn't better constructed," George said. "Visually from Day 1 it looked like it was rough, but it looked like it was workable."
Several months ago, George brought his restoration plans for the house to Heritage Kitchener — the city advisory committee that oversees cultural heritage resources. The committee suggested some changes. George then started preliminary work on the old house and discovered the structural problems.
"The more we got into it, the more difficult it's become, so it's become a very long process," George said.
In the next couple of months, George hopes to have plans for the building. The developer said he has kept city officials fully informed of the difficulties and challenges.
"In the next couple of months we will come up with some solution," George said. "We thought we had a good solution. We have probably spent $110,000 on this house to date."
Heritage advocates will be disappointed.
For years, they struggled to preserve the historic buildings on the ridge overlooking the river.
On a Saturday morning in December 2004, George had the Betzner Barn, which was built in 1830, demolished without a permit from the city. All that remains is the fieldstone foundation. The city acquired that land, which is also on Joseph Schoerg Cr., in a trade with the developer. Plans for that site include landscaping, construction of a barn-like frame above the foundation, and plaques explaining the area's history.
John Ariens bought and lovingly restored the Betzner farm house at 300 Joseph Schoerg Cr.
Ariens had to use the threat of going to a provincial tribunal — the Ontario Municipal Board — to get the city to enforce basic property standards at the Schoerg property.
"That's the birthplace of Waterloo Region," Ariens said of the historic ridge.
Coun. John Gazzola, who represents the area on city council, has long supported the preservation of the historic structures there.
"I would like to see the building restored and, if it can be, used for public purposes, but that would mean the public would have to buy it," Gazzola said.
"The main thing is that it's restored, it's maintained, we don't lose it."
For the past several years, both Gazzola and Ariens sat on Heritage Kitchener. But neither will return to the committee when it resumes work in early 2013.
The future of the Schoerg farm house will be among the issues the new members of Heritage Kitchener will have to deal with sometime this year.

Patients want health technology rules to give them more access to their data
Dave deBronkart has a rather unique perspective on the health information technology debate: He's a cancer survivor, "e-Patient Dave" blogger and a believer in the power of technology to improve health care for patients, providers and the government.
"I am a high-tech guy," he said. "And I see what is happening in technology as a big opportunity to benefit patients and reduce costs."
DeBronkart is one of the founders of a movement to put patients and consumers in the center of health care reform and health IT. He and other advocates are trying to get patient-centric principles into the Obama administration's upcoming regulations for spending $19 billion in incentives for health information technology. The question is: Is giving more power to patients too big a pill to swallow?
The goals of patient-centric approaches are to give patients a more active role in their care — including giving them greater access to their medical data in digital form. Vendors are applying patient-centric ideas to electronic personal health records, systems that store someone's health history in one place in digitized form. Those systems could eventually be involved in regional and national health information exchanges.
Personal health records, which patients create and use voluntarily, would seem to complement the Health and Human Services Department's development of standards and policies for certified electronic health records, patient records created and shared by doctors and hospitals. In May, HHS' Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONCHIT) began drafting regulations to reward providers who show "meaningful use" of health IT.
DeBronkart and others want patient-centric principles included in meaningful use. The goal is to improve patient and doctor decisions and reduce costs and errors by making more data available. That could be in the form of suggested treatment plans based on outcome studies, lists of risk factors that might affect care, and software to search for errors.
"It is really about the information flow. It has to be meaningful to the patient," said Dr. Paul Grundy, president of the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative and director of health care transformation at IBM. The organization works to promote patient-centered medical homes, in which physicians offer holistic care to patients.
DeBronkart said he believes patients should have access to certified EHRs. Although that access is already permitted under a 1996 law, he said it's difficult to achieve in practice because of provider resistance. "Just try getting your own records sometime," he said.
"Health IT systems are being designed without enough consumer involvement," agreed George Van Antwerp, vice president of solutions strategy at Silverlink Communications. "If you want health literacy, you have to give people access to the data and the tools."
David Wright, executive director of the Institute for Interactive Patient Care, says national health IT regulations ideally would accommodate patients' desire for better access to data. But Wright is worried about adding such principles to the tight schedule for action on meaningful use by year's end. "It is probably too late to put it in," Wright said. His group is focusing on broader health care reforms.
Another key issue is the role, if any, that PHRs would have in a national health information exchange system. ONCHIT has $350 million from the economic stimulus law to help develop a more robust system. To date, the Nationwide Health Information Network has seven federal agencies,15 private entities and three states.
There are two choices for future system architecture, said Dr. William Yasnoff, chairman of the Health Record Banking Alliance and former NHIN adviser to HHS. In a dispersed network, patient data remains with doctors and hospitals and is transmitted to a regional health exchange, then to the point of care. An alternative patient-centric system would collect all care documents in a patient's health data bank, and the patient would offer access to providers as needed, Yasnoff said.
Yasnoff said he believes patient-centric data banks are more efficient, reliable and secure. "Having a network of networks is a terrible idea — it is too expensive, unreliable and there is not enough security or privacy," he said.
However, overhauling existing health exchange approaches would be a major project. Some experts, including Dr. John Loonsk, a former senior policy official at ONCHIT and now vice president at CGI Federal, envision a hybrid of patient data banks and exchanges,
"We will have both types," Loonsk said. "The technical people realize there will be more than just organic growth" of existing exchanges.

Re: caregivers .. start using Healthvault to store family records its free. Then sign up for AllOne Mobile from AllOne Health ($25/yr) to get mobile access.
And how about caregivers--they need access to their parents' (older relatives) data. Going through the HIPAA rigamarole is another obstacle to a patient friendly system.
I'm curious about patient use of tools like Google Health. Are there any case studies using it? In general, with whatever system or hybrid solution, will patients have the knowledge and access to properly update and maintain their own records?

I've been lusting after a BDA or a Cheetah of late and want other options for an all metal gun that is somewhat compact. A few years ago I tried a PA63 in 9x18, but the sharp recoil turned me off. I have large hands and want one I could shoot several hundred rounds without complaint. I usually shoot .45 acp, so I'm not opposed to recoil, just pain. Thanks in advance.

Bulgarian-made Makarov PM's (9x18) are available very cheaply, and the one I shot was quite comfortable.
Oh just go get yourself the Beretta! You'll never be sorry, they are great pistols.
yes sir the makarov is a pretty nice little gun to shoot, the round isn't all that bad either. Plus they have a holster out there that the spetnaz use it cocks the gun and turns off the safety in one slick move all you have to do is push it torwards the ground and you ready to rock and roll.
"ever man out here has a timer, no one know how long it will take but no one last forever" Sargent Miller "cake or death! I'll have the cake then... SORRY WHERE OUT OF CAKE!... so it's or death? I'll have the chicken then please." Eddy Izzard "so a suppose your going to kill me now? no he is I'm just here to watch" "you know why guns are better then a woman?... you can put a silencer on a gun."
Saw there is a copy of the Baretta 84 by American Tactical. Store prices are about $375, so I may end up with one of those.
Why don't you check out a CZ 75 Compact? or CZ 83?
CZ 75 compact, $550 Sig P239, $600-800 Also look at CZ 2075 RAMI ($550). And for under $500: Stoeger Cougar, Bersa Thunder, and some of the used 4-digit S&W service pistols can be great options.
Look at the Stoeger Cougar they make it in a compact version now. $399 at Academy Sports.
Thank you for your replies. The used market has entered the fray. J&G Sales offers the CZ83 for around $220. Some of the auction sites have BDAs & the Beretta 84s used for $274-400 or so.
