Consumers Open to New Alternative Fuel Vehicles
ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- A new poll from The Fuels Institute finds that consumers are open to new alternative vehicles. Nearly four in 10 respondents (39 percent) said they would consider a non-gasoline vehicle, compared to 30 percent who indicated they would not.
Hybrid vehicles are most appealing to those considering a new car purchase in the next three years, according to the poll results. Eighty-five percent said they would consider a hybrid vehicle, which combines electric power with traditional gasoline power.
Other alternative vehicles were also of some interest to consumers, including electric (55 percent), flex-fuel (52 percent), diesel fuel (30 percent), and other fuels such as propane or natural gas (22 percent).
"The successful fuel and vehicle technology will be decided by the consumer," said John Eichberger, executive director of The Fuels Institute, the nonprofit, research-oriented think tank founded by NACS last year to evaluate market issues related to vehicles and the fuels that power them. "Understanding these preferences is critical for forecasting what the future of personal transportation will look like and for deciding which technologies and fuels should be brought to market."
As is the case with traditional fuels, economics drive consumer purchasing decisions around alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. When purchasing a new vehicle, poll respondents said they consider fuel economy and the cost of the vehicle far more important than any other attribute.
More than eight in 10 consumers polled (83 percent) cited fuel economy, while 81 percent cited vehicle cost as influential to their vehicle purchasing decision. Safety features were a distant third (51 percent) followed by fuel or engine type (48 percent),
The survey was conducted by Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates LLC among 2,007 gas consumers nationwide. The full results are featured in a white paper, Consumers and Alternative Fuels: Economics Are Top of Mind, which is available for download at www.fuelsinstitute.org.
"The results of this national survey provide a clearer understanding of the relative importance of economic considerations made at the pump and in the showroom. However, while economics may influence purchasing decisions within a specific class of vehicle, they may not necessarily change consumer preferences for a specific class of vehicle," said Eichberger.
The Fuels Institute will be publishing three additional reports in September that more closely examine consumer perceptions about non-gasoline vehicle alternatives.
Led by a board of directors and driven by a board of advisors, The Fuels Institute incorporates the perspective of interested stakeholders affected by this market, including but not limited to fuel retailers, fuel producers and refiners, alternative and renewable fuel producers, automobile manufacturers, environmental advocates, consumer organizations, academics, government entities and other stakeholders with expertise in the fuels and automotive industries.

Cat Veterinary
Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Can I ask you if she is showing any other abnormal symptoms involving her upper respiratory system. Is she sneezing, wheezing or having eye or nasal discharge?
Is she eating and drinking normally?
How long has this benn going on? How old is she? Is she up to date on her vaccines?
Does she go outside?
Thanks and I will await your reply.
Ok, now I have a better picture of things.
Most of the time, the reason their voice changes is inflammation of the larynx or voicebox. The most common cause is secondary to a viral infection. Anything that could cause irritation to the back of the throat or upper airways could be responsible and that could include any mass, polyp or even inhaled foreign body like a blade of grass. In older cats it seems that sometimes we see this voice change and there is no virus involved. It may be related to fibrosis or scarring of the vocal cords due to aging.
If it doesn't resolve or gets worse, or if she develops any other respiratory signs, it would be a good idea to schedule a thorough exam for her with your vet. It may require sedations to get a good look at her larynx and pharynx to fully evaluate. There may not be anything that can be done, but it is always good to look.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions.

Bernanke Did Not See 'Too Big to Fail,' He Lived It. He's Also a Big Paul Giamatti Fan.
As always with these things, the Q&A portion of Ben Bernanke's speech is turning out to be more interesting than the prepared remarks. Not because of any useful policy thoughts, but because of comedy!
Mr. Bernanke was asked if he had seen HBO's festival of embarrassment known as "Too Big to Fail."
No, the Fed chairman replied, he hadn't seen that ridiculous movie, in which he was played by the excellent Paul Giamatti.
"I saw the original," the real-world Mr. Bernanke added. Well played. It's good to see he hasn't lost his sense of humor, despite being called a traitor and all.

Muse Soho
Cocktails, French food and women
A dark and atmospheric Soho basement queer hideaway formerly marked by a gay-male-friendly 'women first' policy (and still unofficially girl-dominant). Three depressed alcove areas provide escape outlets for semi-private hanging out. Food is French with a spicy Asian twist, and is served at all times. Located just north of Old Compton St, immediately around the corner from the area's two other girl-friendly institutions: She Soho and Girls Go Down at G-A-Y Bar. The venue plays host to two regular parties: the Wednesday trans spectacular BOMBSHELL! [see entry] and, two Saturdays a month, Exilio LGBT Latin Dance Club [see entry].

My Muse Soho bar reviewHello. I have went to Muse Soho bar for my first time. It has an intimate setting since it is small and it is comfortable to have conversations because how the tables and other sitting areas are positioned. The servers were welcoming and made sure you were doing well throughout the night. Now I love to dance so when I had heard a few songs played, me and others in the place were dancing and enjoying ourselves for sure. The music was great and its sound was where you could it hear it while people were chatting. Until towards the end of the night around midnight, the music begins to become quiet. So I went to the dj and asked "I cannot hear the music would you please turn it up", the manager/owner came over and stated "I can only have the music at this level because we are the only lesbian bar open until 4am and I do not want to have a noise complaint. I started this bar around two years ago so I do not want to mess that up." I was highly surprised at her response because I have done my research before going to this bar and learned there are djs playing here a lot. So this definitely made me put my coat on and leave soon after.

Lovely placeWent there last Saturday march 30th Was my partner's birthday. We had such a good time! What a lovely place, really nice food, great cocktails, reasonable prices, friendly staff, cool atmosphere. After the tasty meal we decided to stay longer for few more drinks... We definitely recommend this place and we will be coming back for more !
Lovely, friendly establishment.We celebrated a girlfriend's birthday at Labels last weekend and it was our first time there. The cocktails were perfection in a glass, using only the best ingredients and garnishes. The food on offer was also great but the selection was a little bit on the short side. All in all my girlfriends and I had a great night out. We will definitely be back soon.First to Review

Former Michelin Employee Guilty Of Falsifying Documents For $78,000 In Tires
A former regional manager of the tire company Michelin was indicted on one count if theft and one count of tampering with records Friday afternoon.
Antwyan D. Reynolds, 32, allegedly obtained about 500 tires from the Michelin facility in Columbus after falsifying documents, according to a press release from the Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
Investigators reported that Reynolds sold or gave away $78,000 of tires.
"This was a trusted employee who abused his position," said Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien in the release Friday.
The theft was uncovered after Michelin security officials conducted an internal investigation.
O'Brien said that Reynolds could face up to 12 months behind bars.

Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2012, Joss Whedon's cinematic adaptation of Williams Shakespeare's classic Much Ado About Nothing has been selected by Film Comment magazine as one of 15 films in their Essential Cinema series of articles. Shot in less than two weeks in Whedon's home, the film, which also had a special screening here at the Film Society of Lincoln Center this past summer, has been praised for its humor and deft touch. It won an award from the National Board of Review for being one of the top 10 independent films of the year. "From its very first scenes," A.O. Scott wrote in The New York Times, "Mr. Whedon's film crackles with a busy, slightly wayward energy that recalls the classic romantic sparring of the studio era." The film stars Whedon regulars such as Nathan Fillion, Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Clark Gregg and many more.
Writing for Film Comment, Geoffrey O'Brien discussed the film's place in the vast cannon of Shakespeare adapatations.
Whedon doesn't build up atmosphere to prepare the audience for the exoticism of Shakespearean language. There is no attempt to "sell" the text—the play merely unfolds as if it were the most natural thing in the world for a bunch of well-heeled Californians, corporate honchos, and their associates (from the looks of them) to express themselves matter-of-factly in Elizabethan English. It is the most American Shakespeare movie I've seen.
Much Ado About Nothing is currently available on home video and for digital download.

There Are LGBT People Who Know The Scriptures Too
Peterson Toscano and I often go back and forth ralking about scripture and Christianity on Twitter. He and I are really both Biblical scriture geeks, and can both quote obsure Bible stories and obscure Bible scriptures.
Maybe it's because we've both experienced reparative therapy earlier in our lives by therapists and/or Christian therapists who consider lesbian gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) experiences to be sinful. Peterson's experience with reparative therapy though was much more intense than my experience was.
That said, Peterson is an ex ex-gay person; I'm an ex ex-trans person.
Peterson has just posted a new video on YouTube entitled Revealed: The Bible & the Lesbians & the Camel.
The video is about Romans Chapter One, a passage of scripture that folks use to bash the snot out of gays and lesbians. Using comedy, Peterson reveals that its not appropriate to pick out oppression of lesbians and gays from this passage. He also raises the question of Biblical authority itself.
If you know anything about antigay biblical scripture quoting, or are interested in a gay Christian's take on antigay biblical scripture quoting, you might like this video. I think it's worth the watch.

Enjoy guest posts from IGE readers describing their best vacations ever while I'm away on mine! Check out my Italy travel page which I'll be updating with links to videos, pictures & posts throughout my trip!
San Diego
Name, Blog: My.Daily.Randomness
Who, what, where, when and why: It was in February 2007. My boss informed me that I would be accompanying him to our National Conference in California… I couldn't say no… I mean who doesn't like free travel for work right? {And I only ended up working for 3 out of the 7 days I was there!}. He was also kind enough to allow my BF at the time to come with us, all he had to pay for was his own airfare {good deal, no?}.
We actually did a l ot in the 4 days that I had off… stuff that would normally take you like a week to see… Went to SeaWorld, spent an entire day walking around the San Diego Zoo, spent a day checking out all the museums in Balboa park, including: The Museum of Man, Museum of Natural History, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, went shopping, and met up with a local friend who took us out for a night out on the town!
It also happened to be a week of "freak weather" as the locals called it. It rained a good 2 or 3 days, and was pretty cool… about 13°C (55°F)… I didn't think it was that cold, but then again we had just flown in from a place that was likely -13°C (8°F) at the time with the windchill!! {Oh Canada!}
My favorite part of the vacation was: definitely all the sight-seeing {even though it was crammed into only a few days}. I am really big on visiting all the local attractions, taking massive amounts of pictures and just takin' in all in!
My best travel tip for this location: Get out there and take the bus! The first night we were there we decided to take a quick taxi ride across town, although it didn't cost that much {about $12} we thought "this could get expensive after two or three days." So we headed over to the bus terminal, picked up a map of all the local bus routes, and bought a three day pass for the city bus. Best {little} money spent ever! It did take slightly longer to get everywhere, but what better way to see San Diego than from on a bus.
The thing you MUST do at this location: Most people who have been here will agree… The San Diego Zoo. Truely a magnificant place. We spent an entire day there and still didn't get around to seeing everything {likely because I take massive amounts of pictures of everything … tehehe!}
The thing I want to do next time I return: Take my time. Since we were there while I was working everything had to be down to fit my schedule. Next time I want to do things on my own schedule, for as long as I want, when I want!
North Carolina
Name, Blog: Sami Cox, Freckled Foodie
Who, what, where, when and why: My family and I take a vacation together every summer to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. All of my aunts, uncles, cousins, godparents, and grandparents on my Mom's side of the family rent a huge house together and stay for a week, usually right on the beach. I'd have to say these are the BEST vacations EVER. It's too difficult to choose which year has been the best, because each year we are blessed with a beautiful house complete with a hot tub, pool, beach access, and typically an elevator (for my great aunt who cannot do steps).
My favorite part of the vacation was: My favorite part of these vacations is the nights that we all go out to dinner together. My family is incredibly close, and the more time we spend together dining and laughing together, the closer we become! Another cool thing that we usually get to experience together are the sand dunes! Another thing that I love is the bike & walking paths along the road! It makes a wonderful early morning route by the beach. Mile markers included!
My best travel tip for this location: My best travel tip for this location is to get out and explore! There are a TON of things to do! Also, I highly recommend that you try the Tale of the Whale restaurant! I had my FIRST lobster there, and it was an amazing dish!
The thing you MUST do at this location: It's tradition in my family that each year we go to Professor Hackett's to mini golf! The courses are loaded with beautiful waterfalls, and a neat train that takes you to the "top of the mountain" where the adventure begins!
The thing I want to do next time I return: Next time I return, I'd like to try hang gliding off of the sand dunes!

Experimental: Medifast 5 & 1 Plan
Medifast's 5 & 1 Plan is a meal replacement plan for weight loss and weight maintenance.
Other: Medifast 5 & 1 Plan for weight loss and weight maintenance
Medifast's 5 & 1 Plan is a meal replacement program for weight loss that uses 5 Medifast meals and 1 self-prepared meal. The weight maintenance plan incorporates 3-5 Medifast meals as well as a certain amount of food from all other food groups.
Active Comparator: Food-based
The food-based arm followed a meal plan of self-selected foods that provided the same number of calories as the Medifast 5 & 1 plan.
Other: Food-based diet plan for weight loss and weight maintenance
The food-based group was provided a meal plan for weight loss based on the guidelines of the USDA Food Guide Pyramid providing the same number of calories as the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan. Weight maintenance calories were calculated and participants were provided meal plans from the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.

The boss of the charity that runs two Southampton secondary schools has called on the church to re-examine its attitude towards homosexuals.
Leading, evangelical minister The Rev Steve Chalke says it gives a negative attitudes which can have a negative impact on people's mental and physical health.
Mr Chalke founded the Christian charity Oasis, said he had become increasingly aware of the suffering of homosexual people within the church.
The organisation has run the 950-pupil Oasis Academy Lordshill and the 1,150 pupil Oasis Scademy Mayfield, both in Southampton, since 2008.
Mr Chalke has now called for further debate on same-sex relationships, and has launched an online support service to offer help to gay people who have been hurt by practices and teachings of some parts of the church.
In an article for Christianity Magazine, Mr Chalke, who is senior minister of Oasis Church Waterloo in London, speaks of the conflict between his understanding of ''the principles of justice, reconciliation and inclusion (that) sit at the very heart of Jesus' message'', and the Bible's teaching ''that the practice of homosexuality, in any circumstance, is a sin or 'less than God's best'.''
In the article, A Matter Of Integrity, he uses examples of his own ministry to illustrate how he has become increasingly aware of the suffering of homosexual people within the church, but also puts it down to his growing understanding of the Christian Bible.
He writes: ''Rather than condemn and exclude, can we dare to create an environment for homosexual people where issues of self-esteem and wellbeing can be talked about; where the virtues of loyalty, respect, interdependence and faithfulness can be nurtured, and where exclusive and permanent same-sex relationships can be supported?''
And he questions why so many Christians are prepared to dismiss biblical suppression of women in leadership, or the scriptural endorsements of the slave trade as ''cultural'', but not of negative references to homosexuality.
He said: ''It is my duty to ensure that everyone - gay or straight - knows that I believe God is for them.
''If the church in this country wants to be at the forefront of delivering social provisions, we have a responsibility to ensure that everyone knows the services we provide are for them.
''However, this commitment to inclusion is not just necessary in order to play a role in today's society; it is, in my view, the most biblical way of mirroring the life of Jesus Christ.''
The support service he has established includes videos discussing the issues and case studies of people who have been affected by them.

Christopher Nolan's been saying The Dark Knight Rises will be his last Batman film. Now, it turns out he was serious. Oh Nolan, why? Why so serious? In a recent interview, Warner Bros. executive Jeff Robinov revealed his plans for the future of the lucrative franchise. The good news: Christopher Nolan will still be involved in a producing capacity. The bad news: the world he's crafted for his Batman franchise will be no more. The series will be completely rebooted in an attempt to tie in to Warner Bros.' planned Justice League movie. The Los Angeles Times had the scoop.
Like Marvel's upcoming Avengers, Warner's Justice League will be closely connected to a series of superhero movies planned by the studio. Superman and Batman, obviously, but also The Flash and Wonder Woman, which Robinov claims will exist independently of David E. Kelley's upcoming Wonder Woman television series, much like Superman Returns, which had no connection to the television series Smallville which ran during its own release. The Justice League movie is currently scheduled for a 2013 release, meaning we can expect some real news in the near future unless this version suffers the same fate as George Miller's previous attempt, which fell apart in 2008 due to financial concerns and that oh-so-troublesome writer's strike.
On one hand it's nice that Christopher Nolan's take on Batman will be allowed to end on its own terms, without the risk of future directors sullying the franchise. On the other hand, it's sad that it has to end at all. God help whoever takes up Nolan's mantle after he departs. If you think the Spider-Man reboot has fanboys riled, wait'll you see what happens next.
Crave Online will be back with more DC Comics movie news, because it seems like we get more and more every day, doesn't it?

Active Galactic Nuclei:
This is the first comprehensive treatment of active galactic nuclei--the cosmic powerhouses at the core of many distant galaxies. The term active galactic nuclei refers to quasars, radio galaxies, Seyfert galaxies, blazars, and related objects, all of which are believed to share a similar central engine--a supermassive black hole many times the mass of the Sun. Astrophysicists have studied these phenomena for the past several decades and have begun to develop a consensus about many of their properties and internal mechanisms. Julian Krolik, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, sums up leading ideas from across the entire range of research, making this book an invaluable resource for astronomers, physicists interested in applications of the theory of gravitation, and graduate students.
Krolik begins by addressing basic questions about active galactic nuclei: What are they? How can they be found? How do they evolve? He assesses the evidence for massive black holes and considers how they generate power by accretion. He discusses X-ray and g-ray emission, radio emission and jets, emission and absorption lines, anisotropic appearance, and the relationship between an active nucleus and its host galaxy. He explores the mysteries of what ignites, fuels, and extinguishes active galactic nuclei, and concludes with a general review of where the field now stands. The book is unique in paying careful attention to relevant physics as well as astronomy, reflecting in part the importance of general relativity to understanding active galactic nuclei. Clear, authoritative, and detailed, this is crucial reading for anyone interested in one of the most dynamic areas of astrophysics today.
"Krolik treats almost every aspect of the AGN phenomenon, . . . . This global survey of AGN physics makes Krolik's book the most useful in the field for years. . . . [A] valuable reference for anybody interested in the physics of these cosmic powerhouses."--Chris Reynolds, Nature
"A broad and thorough review of the standard model for AGN, including observational information and theoretical modeling. It will provide graduate and advanced undergraduate students with an excellent introduction to the field."--Ruth A. Daly, Physics Today
"Julian Krolik, himself a substantial contributor to high-energy astrophysics, has written an impressive book that will be welcomed by researchers in the field. . . . It fills a notable gap in the existing literature."--Martin Rees, Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge
"I read this book with great interest and joy. It covers the whole subject of active galactic nuclei in depth."--Marek Abramowicz, Göteborg University, Sweden

Campaign Stop Offers Oskaloosa Rare Presidential Visit
Oskaloosa, Iowa – The arrival of President Obama to Oskaloosa will be of historic proportions in its history. In fact, a Presidential visit is so rare, it may have happened only one other time in Oskaloosa's history.
In 1903, then President Theodore Roosevelt visited Oskaloosa on a nine week trip that took him not only across Iowa, but also Nebraska, South Dakota, Missouri and Kansas.
Once in Oskaloosa on April 28, 1903, Roosevelt took part in dedicating the new Y.M.C.A. building. Here, he also spoke highly of John F. Lacey who, at the time, was still serving as a representative for Iowa's 6th District and was a resident of Oskaloosa. Roosevelt made his stop in Oskaloosa at the request of Lacey. "In public life generally we are not apt to find the man whose interests go for the whole country as well as for those who have his immediate fate in their hands, and I wish to congratulate this district on having in the American Congress a man who spends his best efforts for the whole United States," Roosevelt said.
On September 4, 1912, Roosevelt once again made a return trip to Oskaloosa where he was campaigning for another term in the White House, but this time was under the Progressive Party banner (also known as The Bull Moose Party). Roosevelt formed the party after President Taft became too conservative.
Many other candidates for President have made their way to Oskaloosa since, including our current President Barack Obama. He made campaign stops to Oskaloosa on July 4, 2007, and also on December 22, 2007.
But, this will be his first trip to Oskaloosa as the President. With a quick glance through the history books, it appears that this is the first visit by a sitting President since Roosevelt did so clear back in 1903. Others have visited the city either before or after their presidencies, such as Howard Taft and Herbert Hoover. President Nixon lived in Ottumwa while in the Navy and stationed at the Naval Airbase that was there during WWII.
Even the location at Nelson Pioneer Farm has hosted candidates in the past, including Obama's current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on November 3, 2007, when she was yet a candidate for the office.
Tickets to President Obama's visit will be available starting at 11:00 am at the OFA, Oskaloosa Office 201 High Avenue East, Oskaloosa, IA 52577.

No, this not on the Attascrap wall. This on a wall that is still part of the main cliff band but located far to the right. You have to follow a little bit of a catwalk that has had some older ropes set up on it to get there.

|It helps to bring a #1 BD Camalot and you can slot it in a nice horizontal (a bit shallow) prior to clipping the first bolt. The first crux is after the second bolt and the other is as you make your way up the steep face. Helpful to bring a #.05 and or #.75 to help protect the upper face. They are bomber placements! Have fun!

|This is a really nice route with some thought-provoking climbing. Bolts are exactly where they need to be. I did think that 5.10+ would be a little more fair, but I also noticed from the photo posted that I did the crux with different beta that might take a little sting out of the grade. Either way, its very fun.

Durban - Earlier this week Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer reiterated that his team's focus was only on this evening's Test against Wales at Kings Park, but in the back of his mind there will also be an acute awareness that the World Cup is just over a year away.
Although one may look at the Boks' international schedule this year and think that 13 Tests will provide plenty of time to begin certain preparations, that would be rather short-sighted.
As we've already seen during a disruptive build-up to the opening Test of the year, injury, illness, suspension and a shock withdrawal have left Meyer with a notably depleted squad, as well as a few unanswered questions.
At the end of last year, the Boks had made significant progress in a number of key areas, adding an attacking edge to their defensive solidity, and their breakdown efficiency, set-phase play and kicking game looked on the right track for England next year.
For the most part, the first-choice combinations seemed to be settled, with Willie le Roux emerging as an exciting option in the previously problematic position of fullback, and the only real areas of positional concern being at No 5 lock and, perhaps, outside centre.
Unfortunately, long-term injuries to Pieter-Steph du Toit and Jaque Fourie have left Meyer without two front-line candidates for those positions already this year, which only supports the point that adjustments have to be constantly made.
With the injury to Eben Etzebeth, as well as a host of unavailable centres, one only has to look at the second-row and midfield combinations this evening to get a further sense of just how quickly a rosy pre-season build-up can turn black.
The silver lining is that Meyer will have the opportunity to test some new combinations and players.
The Bok coach has also quite rightly acknowledged that he is now well versed in dealing with disruptions that might have thrown him during his first year in charge.
Jan Serfontein is undoubtedly a star in the making at inside centre, and JP Pietersen's continued evolution at No 13 will add valuable versatility to his game a year away from the World Cup.
Pietersen's shift to the midfield has also afforded the exciting Cornal Hendricks an opportunity to stake his claim on the wing, and Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha reunite in a second-row pairing that, a year ago, seemed gone for ever.
Do they still have what it takes to make a crucial contribution to the World Cup? This is what the upcoming Tests will help tell us.
Similarly, Schalk Burger will add to his 68-Test tally for the first time since 2011, and then there are Schalk Brits, Johan Goosen and Lwazi Mvovo suddenly back in the green and gold.
Meyer is right to say that this evening's first Test is the sole priority at this stage, but besides the importance of a positive result, there is a definite opportunity for the team to send out a statement about their ability to overcome disruptions and player absences.
Despite the fact that Wales have a few injury absentees of their own, this is by no means a poor touring team, and you have only to look at their experienced tight five and brawny backline to realise that the Boks will be tested at their own game in many regards this evening.
Stand-in Bok skipper Matfield acknowledged that they were set to face a significant test against Wales.
"It's still an experienced Welsh side despite a couple of injuries, and whenever you play Wales, it's always a tough Test match," he said.
"I think if you look at their strengths, there are probably two things that really stand out about them.
"Firstly, on defence they come hard off the line and make it difficult for you to attack against.
"Then if they have the ball in the right areas of the field, they are capable of keeping it through many phases. So we have worked on countering those things this week."
Matfield also insisted that the players had not been distracted by Frans Steyn's surprise withdrawal from the squad earlier in the week.
"We've been removed from that as players, and we've kept our focus on the game. A guy like Jan is getting an opportunity now.
"For us, whoever gets picked has a job to do, and it will be good to see how they come through."
Speaking of which, Paul Jordaan and Wynand Olivier were called up to the Springbok squad yesterday in place of Steyn and Juan de Jongh, with the latter having been ruled out of the June Tests because of a severe chest infection.

There is a world of opportunity out there for Scottish businesses to take advantage of
Global demand for Scottish produce has never been stronger.
Loading article content
We currently export some of our most famous products to the farthest corners of the globe, many harvested or created from our own abundant natural larder: farmed salmon is the largest food export, with overseas markets worth more than £300 million a year, while we ship an estimated 40 bottles of whisky abroad every second.
In addition to the strong performance of Scottish food and drink, there are also other leading industries enjoying the benefits of selling to international markets, including oil and gas, fuel-linked equipment, renewable energies - not just equipment and technology, but also homegrown skills - chemicals, electronics and instrument engineering, mechanical engineering, textiles and business services.
Almost as long as the list of products finding new homes are the number of countries eager to do business. Scotland's top export markets are the US, Netherlands, France and Germany, while fast growing markets include China, Australia, Japan, India, United Arab Emirates and Russia
Traditional markets are also still performing strongly. With more than £11 billion of exports travelling to countries within the European Union alone, the 28 European member states, with their consumer population of 500 million, offer countless export opportunities for companies in Scotland.
Kirsteen Higgins, Smart Exporter Operations Manager, Scottish Development International, the international arm of Scotland's enterprise agencies, says: "Raising the ambitions of Scottish businesses to think globally is vital. Our role is to help businesses think about international trade as part of their growth.
"There are two main reasons why they should consider exporting - it can help spread their market risk and can help maximise their capacity. We help them to see that it's a natural step to look at the excellent opportunities for their business overseas."
"The competitive advantages of exporting are evident" says Higgins, adding: "At its most simple it can help businesses drive profits. Diversification is important too. Companies who export have a more diverse customer base, they can grow faster and they are less exposed to market risks. They are open to new opportunities in a bigger marketplace."
If entering the global marketplace allows companies to enjoy a much wider customer base, the size of their own operations need not be a hindrance. In fact, SMEs that export are 34% more productive in their first year and 11% more likely to survive.
Higgins believes that how big or small a company might be should have no influence on their ability to enter export markets.
"No it doesn't matter at all," she says. "We work with Scottish companies from all sectors and of all sizes, from very small to very large companies, who have a product or service that they might want to sell overseas."
Working with these burgeoning businesses means talking to them about their international plans, how to get started and how the Smart Exporter programme can help their business. Higgins says: "We will discuss the type of support they need. For example, do they need help researching market opportunities or understanding the import regulations for a particular market?"
It's one thing to have aspirations to enter the export market, another to discover the possibilities available, but how can Scottish businesses be given the confidence that they personally have the capability to secure opportunities to expand into overseas markets?
"By giving the right support just when they need it," says Higgins, "we can help de-risk the entire process and share with companies precisely what's involved through workshops, such as our Preparing to Export programme.
"This involves export training to understand what the right steps are to prepare them to move faster to market - this might mean helping companies to understand the best route to market, whether that's through distributors or online sales.
"We can even help them understand the options of how to get paid from overseas customers, how they can transport their goods to these customers, and how they should consider reviewing their pricing for international markets."
It's having such a detailed and bespoke support mechanism in place that helps so many businesses. And often the first step will be to speak to an adviser.
"We have five experienced export advisers across Scotland," explains Higgins.
"Businesses can chat with them on how to get started.
"We can talk through the next steps - and, through initiatives such as the Preparing to Export programme, give them an understanding of the nuts and bolts of exporting."
As well as the Preparing to Export programme, which is described in more detail on these pages, there is a global network of offices to help Scottish companies take full advantage of export opportunities - and to attract potential foreign direct investment into Scotland.
What advice would Higgins give to businesses that might be thinking of entering the global market but remain unsure of their first step?
"The world is a global marketplace for companies to take advantage of and we can help support international growth ambitions," she says.
"Even if they're only at the thinking stage, we can get in early and provide help and guidance on what the next steps are for their business. It's about seizing the opportunities that exist. Come to us and get the benefits of our experience and impartial advice."

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Can't wait for the book!"
It was a great story except I felt several times the story line dragged on much too long then it ended to abruptly. I just noticed on the cover the word trilogy so I'll have to wait for book two to get the answers to the ending that left me hanging.
Hours and hours of misery only to find out that the author won't say who did it? NOT FOR ME!
"Love her descriptions!!!"
Mary E. DeMuth is a very good writer. I love her descriptions. However, in the three books there is very little story, and it moves very slow. Her characters tend to say "I'm sorry" and "you hear me" real often. Even so, the books are a pleasant read.
"good book!"
Very well read! The story comes to life. Great word pictures by the author

I wish I had known that Pee Wee Herman was going to meet the Television Critics Association in character. I would have prepared much better questions for the fictional character. I was surprised that the satellite feed from his Broadway performance was not Paul Reubens, but a fully costumed Pee Wee Herman. I still thought on my feet and adapted my questions to Pee Wee.
CraveOnline: It's great to see The Pee Wee Herman Show is back. What sort of movie offers are you entertaining now that you're back in the spotlight?
Pee-Wee Herman: Oh yeah, yes, I'm so glad you asked that question… Dad. Because I'm working on a film right now for Judd Apatow. You may have heard of him. He's the current king of comedy in Hollywood and internationally. He's producing the next Pee-Wee movie, which is absolutely incredible. We've been working with a writer. Me and a writer named Paul Rust have been working with Judd for about the last maybe four, five, six months. We just turned the first act of it in about three weeks before Christmas. Then, we've taken a little break to complete the show and film it for Home Box Office, also known as HBO to you guys. They modernized it recently I understand, like KFC and stuff like that. Does that answer your question?
CraveOnline: Yes, and will Judd direct your new movie?
Pee-Wee Herman: Judd has not decided. I guess he's waiting to read the script which is not completed yet. So he's just producing so far and I don't know who will direct it. Maybe Mr. [Todd] Haynes could use a little change of pace, shake it up from Mildred Pierece.
CraveOnline: That would be awesome.
Pee-Wee Herman: Yeah, it would be more like the Velvet Goldmine kind of, a little more like that.
CraveOnline: I first saw the original Pee-Wee Herman Show on HBO. If we were to watch that and the new special back to back, what would we notice?
Pee-Wee Herman: Well, I think you'd probably notice I got way older, heh heh. There's a lot of similarities. The new show is really inspired 100 percent by the old show. What happened in between is I originally did the stage show at the Roxy Theatre, which is where we filmed it for Home Box Office mramramramra years ago. Then from there I had a CBS television series that was greatly inspired by that stage production. When I went to rewrite the show, I added all the characters from the CBS show. So the original production that Home Box Office aired did not include Chariy, my talking chair, and Globey, my talking globe and all the inanimate objects that talk. Everything ends with an EE. So I added a lot of the characters like that but the plot is the same. There's a love story and I have a wish to fly in the show and that's pretty much the plot. The New York Times said it was thin on plot and they were right, but plot's not all it's cracked up to be. It really isn't, unless you're doing a five part miniseries. Then you need a plot, but a 90 minute comedy special… And you know, people have come backstage every single performance. All the stuff I'm reading on Twitter and Facebook about the show, I was trending internationally last night by the way on Twitter. But all the stuff that people have been saying is just like their face hurts when they leave the theater and that kind of stuff. It's a very, very funny show. I mean, you're the television critics. You can be the judge of that, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and I think all of your faces will hurt when I'm done.
CraveOnline: In the L.A. show you added some topical jokes about gay marriage and social issues. Have you gotten more topical in the recent months?
Pee-Wee Herman: We added The Situation and a Derek Jeter joke and a Papaya King. Those ewere the three Manhattan kind of flavors that we added to the show but I didn't really want to make it too topical. I didn't want to make it about New York.
CraveOnline: So no opinion on WikiLeaks?
Pee-Wee Herman: Who are you, Anderson Cooper? I guess I'm on the fence about WikiLeaks. Maybe they should patch it up or something if it's leaking.
Check out the official trailer for Pee Wee Herman on Broadway.

One Fund gets major boost on Marathon day
Credit: Chitose Suzuki
A One Fund fundraiser held by Herb Chambers at Abe & Louie's on Boylston Street is expected to raise $70,000, according to Herb Chambers General Manager Jeff Davis.
The event sold close to 700 tickets at $100 with all proceeds going directly to The One Fund Boston.
Dan Conley, Suffolk District Attorney and former Boston mayoral candidate, was at the same party a year ago.
"It was another glorious day, not quite as beautiful as today, but a glorious spring day," Conley said. "Everything was shattered in a matter of seconds."

Report: Surveillance Cameras Do Not Stop Crime
Grits for Breakfast (via CrimLaw) reports on a British study and its findings that surveillance cameras do not reduce crime.
Home Office researchers who studied 14 schemes across Britain found that only one had brought a clear fall in the local crime rate. While there was strong public support for CCTV before it was installed, opinion began to shift when people realised the cameras made little difference.
But they do make a difference, because they invade our privacy. They are just another measure that fails to make us safer, only less free.

Nonprofit sells naming rights to basic items to help poor
Posted December 3, 2013
Durham, N.C. — Companies pay millions of dollars for the naming rights to athletic stadiums.
It's a concept that Urban Ministries of Durham is using in an effort to boost public awareness for the programs it offers to help meet the needs of the area's homeless and poor while also raising the necessary financial support to be able to provide those services.
As part of the new online campaign, Names for Change,, people can browse 169 basic items which offer a price that allows them to add their name as support while at the same time learning how each item plays a role in helping someone in need.
A bus pass, for example, "is actually a key" to the doctor's office, to the grocery store or a job interview.
"In fact, many of our clients say bus passes are as precious as gold, which means this bus pass is actually a key that is also a pot of gold sitting at the start of a rainbow that leads to a better future," the website says.
For $14, a visitor can obtain the naming rights and customize an official poster that can be shared on social media.
Other items up for naming include toiletries – such as deodorant and soap – food, baby supplies, bunk beds and furniture.
Jenny Nicholson, associative creative director of Durham-based advertising firm McKinney is responsible for the site and the campaign to raise awareness.
In 2011, she also headed up a similar initiative for Urban Ministries called SPENT, an interactive game about surviving homelessness and poverty.
It's been played 3 million times worldwide.
"(This year), we were trying to decide what we were going to do, and we saw a brand had paid millions of dollars for naming rights to a stadium, and that got us thinking," Nicholson said. "If a brand pays millions for a stadium, what if we ask someone to pay $2 for a can of corn?"
The campaign comes at an important time for Urban Ministries, its executive director, Patrice Nelson, says.
The nonprofit relies heavily on private sector funding. In fact, 80 percent of its $150 million comes from donations.
Nelson says with decreases in public funding, the nonprofit must create innovative ways to find private donations.
So far, Names for Change has raised approximately $12,000.
And just as SPENT educated people about what it's like to live on the edge of homelessness, Nelson says the latest campaign reminds everyone that being homeless means losing more than just a home.
"It will invite them to become part of UMD through a specific moment of kindness — the moment when a familiar human need like pajamas or baby food or a clean shave is fulfilled," she said. "It's a simple yet very powerful concept."
Nicholson says it also sends a power message.
"The challenge of ending homelessness feels so big, so overwhelming, that most of us don't even try," Nicholson said. "With Names for Change, we are showing people that changing lives doesn't happen with one big effort, but with a million little ones, and that everyone has a part to play."

London, July 28 (ANI): New mum Kate, who welcomed son Prince George Alexander Louis on Monday, is keen to set up a play date with Victoria Beckham at Kensington Palace.
According to reports, the former Spice Girl offered the Duchess of Cambridge tips on raising a baby in full media glare, before she gave birth to Prince George.
A source revealed to the Daily Star that the mum-of-four and Kate Middleton have had a strong friendship for some time now and she was keen to offer a helping hand.
The insider asserted that the footie WAG knows all about raising children in front of the media and the pressures it can have on family life.
A source told the publication that since Middleton is not in a position to go on out for regular mummy lunches with her friends, it's more likely that Victoria will visit Middleton at her home with her daughter Harper.
The insider added that the singer turned designer believes that their children could develop a great friendship in the future, just like her and Kate. (ANI)

Today's managers are so much more than simple caretakers. Self-storage managers are responsible for a facility's marketing, daily and monthly maintenance, signage, security, renovations, curb appeal, sales, customer service, site inspections, lien sales and auctions, community relations, website, ancillary services and products, and more. Day-to-day self-storage operation requires a different set of skills that includes the handling of operational essentials, customer-service savvy, phone etiquette, legal know-how, and sales and marketing finesse. Managers must define their markets, determine rental rates and concessions, deal with the media, choose effective advertising, and understand online marketing all while keeping an eye on the facility's bottom line.

Watford, Herts, United Kingdom, 2008/07/07 - Broner Metals Solutions, the worlds leading provider of supply chain planning, scheduling and manufacturing execution systems, specifically for the Metals Industry, has developed new enhancements for its existing Production Scheduler solution.
New enhancements were developed in order to respond to opportunities identified in the process of implementing Production Scheduler at one of the Broners customer sites and they will further improve scheduling capabilities of the module, with some of the new functions being:
· Feeder groups, which enables the use of non-first choice material to fill gaps in the schedule;
· Minimum batching, which allows the specification of a rule which will try to complete a minimum batch of material limited by user-defined characteristics once started, and highlight a sharing violation if thats not possible;
· Violation limits, which enables the definition of violations;
· Conserve and Consume functionality, which allows conservation of rare materials across round, preventing immediate use of a first-choice material;
· Improved scheduling information around specific areas of production.
All of these functions will contribute to better schedule adherence, reduced production costs, improved productivity and better quality of end product.
New improvements will later be incorporated into all future versions of Production Scheduler ensuring that all customers can benefit from improved accuracy and consistency of schedules.

Trading systems for over-the-counter derivatives that only link one investor to one bank probably won't be allowed under new regulations, said Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler.
Swap industry executives yesterday told CFTC staff that mandatory trading systems in the $615 trillion market must be flexible to allow for several ways to buy and sell the contracts. Some of those systems include electronic trading that allow a swap user to trade with one dealer, said Ben MacDonald, global head of trading at Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in July, defines trading on a swap-execution facility, or SEF, as being done between multiple users. The Bloomberg system includes a "single dealer platform," among other trading options, MacDonald said…

Shillong, Dec 27 (UNI) Three Border Security Force (BSF) constables, said to be drunk, created a ruckus at a local Church in Dawki village, bordering Bangladesh on Christmas Day.
Police today said the trio had also got into a tussle with police personnel after they intervened to diffuse the situation.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Jaintia Hills District Frederick Kharkongor, trouble started when the BSF men went to church to offer prayers at Dawki in an inebriated state. This infuriated the local people.
''There was an altercation between the locals and the BSF personnel after that,'' district officials told UNI here over phone.
Later, the police took the trio to the local police station, but the jawans further created a ruckus by going on a rampage in the police station, said local eyewitnesses.
However, BSF DIG V S Sikarwar said that it was a matter of ''misunderstanding'' and everything had been solved amicably.
''Yes, the constables were in an inebriated state and there was a slight misunderstanding with the locals on the Day. The matter was sorted out amicably,'' he said.
Meanwhile, DIG Eastern Range DK Rapthap had rushed to the spot to diffuse the situation.

New Zealand Golf created the Hall of Fame during their centenary celebrations in 2010 to honour and safeguard the memories of those who have made a lasting footprint on the game in this country.
The Hall of Fame selection panel includes three New Zealand Golf representatives and two independent panellists,.
The game of golf was introduced to New Zealand in Dunedin in 1871 and the man behind this was Charles Ritchie Howden who became known as the Father of New Zealand Golf.
In this modern era his name will not be well known to a lot of golfers. However, through C R Howden and the members of his family, we can be very thankful for his passion and desire to bring the Royal and Ancient game to our country. Howden was the sort of Scotsman on whom the early prosperity of Dunedin was based and by 1871 he was financially secure, as well as young and enthusiastic enough to be a driving force behind the development of the game.
Born in Edinburgh and educated at the Royal Academy, Howden came to New Zealand at the age of 23 and worked on sheep runs in Otago. He later entered the wine and spirit business in Dunedin and started the New Zealand Distillery Company, a firm which flourished until it was closed by legislation, and which provided a healthy payment in compensation. So the story of Howden is not only about introducing golf but also home grown whiskey.
In September 1871 a dozen players gathered to form a club and Howden became the first Club Captain of the Dunedin Golf Club (later the Otago Golf Club). In 1872 the City Council gave permission for a course to be laid out and it was Howden who was the designer.
For various reasons the course closed down five years later and business interests took Howden back to Great Britain. Fortunately he returned in 1889 and, soon after, new initiatives surfaced and there was interest in golf in Otago, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.
By the time Charles Howden passed away on 28 August 1928 at the age of 90, his name had become legendary in New Zealand Golf. It is fitting that the man who introduced the game to New Zealanders and who was recognised for many years as the Father of New Zealand Golf be inducted into the New Zealand Golf Hall of Fame.

New Zealand Golf along with the golfers of New Zealand would like to acknowledge the incredible career of our golfing knight, Sir Bob Charles. Since the 1954 New Zealand Open when he burst on to the scene, through to the 2007 New Zealand Open when he became the oldest player ever to make the cut in a European Tour event, he has been the consummate professional. Bob Charles stands tall among the great sportsmen of New Zealand and his outstanding record in the game was honoured in 2008 when he was admitted to the World Golf Hall of Fame. The 1963 win in The Open Championship at Royal Lytham and St.Annes stands as the defining victory in his career, however not to be overshadowed are the other 67 professional wins worldwide and another five top three finishes in Major Championships.
Playing the game left-handed and being one of the best putters the game has ever seen, made Bob one of the most recognizable players in the world. For over 50 years he has represented New Zealand, the game of Golf and his wonderfully supportive family, wife Verity and children Beverly and David, with distinction.
Sir Bob has always taken an interest in the development of the game of Golf here at home, having for many years donated 1% of his earnings to a scholarship which is still being presented to inspirational players and students of the game. And since 2008 the launch of the Charles Tour has grown to became an important home based competition to prepare our best amateurs and young professionals for a successful life on tour.
It is with great honour, that New Zealand Golf proudly acknowledge a remarkable golf career by admitting Sir Robert James Charles to the New Zealand Golf Hall of Fame.
Jones was dubbed "The Emperor" by the doyen of New Zealand Golf journalists Sir Terry McLean, who acknowledged his outstanding record which occurred during a period when competition was fierce with the talents of Bob Charles, Ross Murray, John Durry, Ted McDougall, Ross Newdick and Walter Godfrey all champions in their own right.
He will always be associated with Hastings Golf Club at Bridge Pa where his career started in 1947. A scalding received from a Wairakei geyser cut short a promising rugby career, but he took to the game of golf with such enthusiasm that within two years he became club champion. This signalled the start of an illustrious career where for years many marvelled at his ball-striking skills as he won title after title.
From his early success at Bridge Pa his achievements quickly blossomed and he began to be the player to be reckoned with at first provincial, then national and ultimately international level. He represented New Zealand from 1953 to 1975, playing in seven Eisenhower Trophy events. His most notable achievements came when he won two professional events and the 1967 Canadian Amateur Championship. Together with seven New Zealand Amateur titles Jones' record is unlikely to be matched in this modern era.
With such an outstanding record it was little surprise Jones was named the first-ever Hawke's Bay Sportsman of the Year in 1966, invested as a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1977 and elected to the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame and awarded life membership of the Hastings Golf Club. Stuart Jones has not just been a standout – he has been a legend.
Stuart Jones' record and love of the game stands tall and we are extremely proud to acknowledge his phenomenal career of achievement and longevity by admitting him to the New Zealand Golf Hall of Fame.
Stuart Jones' record is unmatched and includes:
- New Zealand representative from 1953 to 1975
- Seven appearances at the World Teams Championship, known as the Eisenhower Trophy
- Winner of the New Zealand Foursomes title in 1960, 1963, 1965 and 1972
- Winner of the New Zealand Amateur title in 1955, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1966 and 1971
- Winner of the North Island Amateur in 1953, 1966, 1970, 1972
- Winner of the South Island Amateur 1964
- Winner of two professional events
- Winner of the Canadian Amateur title in 1967
The feats of this Otago Golf Club member, who was also a member of the St Clair Golf Club where her father was the professional and greenkeeper, hold a special place in New Zealand Golf history. In 1924, when Hollis was just 15, she reached the semifinals of the National Match Play Championship. Two years later she won the Mellsop Cup which is the National Stroke Play title, for the first of an incredible nine successive years. Hollis retired early but returned to golf in 1946 and immediately won her 10th Stroke Play title.
Hollis also won the New Zealand Amateur crown on three occasions and the New Zealand Foursomes four times. Her win in the 1933 New Zealand Amateur matched that of club mate B.V. "Pip" Wright when he won the Men's Amateur Championship which in later years was acknowledged as one of the 150 greatest moments in Otago sport.
Hollis had similar success across the Tasman winning both the Australian Amateur and Foursomes titles. She was a member of the New Zealand Tasman Cup team on four occasions and captained the team in two championships. There is little doubt she was the best player of her era.
Not only did Hollis play the game at the highest amateur level, she also contributed to the game's administration serving on the New Zealand Ladies Golf Union. Her contribution to golf was recognised in 1996 when she was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame, where she is still only one of three golfers acknowledged in this way. She remained an ardent supporter of women's golf right up until her passing in December 1993.
It is with great honour that New Zealand Golf acknowledges one of the legends of the game, by admitting Oliver Hollis (nee Kay) as the first woman to the New Zealand Golf Hall of Fame.
Oliver Hollis' feats hold a special place in the history of New Zealand Golf:
- New Zealand Stroke Play Champion, 1926-34, 1946 (10 titles)
- New Zealand Amateur Champion, 1930, 1933 and 1937
