BRISTOL, Connecticut (Ticker) -
Did you know this is the NBA's 60th season?
You may be a bit confused, because the league held its "NBA at 50" celebration nine years ago. But it actually staged its season-long golden anniversary at the outset of its 51st season, having turned a full 50 years old.
That was quite a spectacle. Plans were announced at the 1996 Finals. As the next season began, all-time lists voted on by an impeccable panel were released. The Top 10 Teams. The Top 10 Coaches. The 50 Greatest Players.
Now that the NBA is on the verge of turning 60, shouldn't that last list have an appendix? When it was first released, Tim Duncan was a senior in college. Kobe Bryant was six months out of high school. LeBron James was 11 years old.
Fifty years, 50 players. Sixty years, 60 players. Makes sense, right?
TNT seems to think so. The network plans on developing its own list as part of its coverage of All-Star Weekend in February. Guess we beat 'em to it.
The appendix doesn't simply list 10 contemporary players. It tries to right some wrongs from the first list without doing a disservice to anyone already selected.
It also does some speculating, as the first list did with a young fellow named Shaquille O'Neal, who was just beginning his fifth season. That worked out pretty well, don't you think?
However, before the appendix is revealed, we should acknowledge those who were considered but did not make it. Jo Jo White, Dan Issel, Maurice Cheeks, Sidney Moncrief, Dominique Wilkins, Kevin Johnson, Mark Jackson, Dennis Rodman (yes, Dennis Rodman), Ray Allen, Steve Nash and Alonzo Mourning all made the short list.
However, the list had to be shorter, and they did not make the cut.
Behind the velvet rope is a guy wearing a black turtleneck and an ultra-light earpiece with a thin microphone. He is holding a clipboard with the names of 10 men who are allowed entry into a highly exclusive club known as basketball immortality.
The list includes two retired players, another hanging on for a last chance at glory and one whose star does not burn so brightly anymore. It also has five players at the absolute peak of their game and another whose ceiling cannot be predicted.
The first limousine is pulling up now. A tall, elderly man is getting out. It's ...
BOB MCADOO: If you are under 40 years old, just shut up and listen. McAdoo was a face-up 6-10 center who won three straight scoring titles in the early 1970s with the Buffalo Braves and was the only MVP not chosen the first time around. (Nash can have that dubious honor now.) Early in his career, he also was consistently among the league leaders in rebounds, blocked shots and shooting percentage.
McAdoo kept putting up numbers, but a series of trades to bad teams diminished his value. When he latched on with the Lakers in the early 1980s, he became one of the most lethal bench players in the NBA, averaging double digits even though he played no more than 20 or so minutes per game.
REGGIE MILLER: Besides Ronald McDonald and Michael Jordan, who else can say he is the face of a successful franchise? Miller can. He is one of just 12 players to score 25,000 points, and although he has the lowest scoring average among the dozen, only Jordan made more clutch shots. Not Jerry West. Not John Havlicek.
GARY PAYTON: When the first list was released, Payton probably was the game's second-best player behind Jordan. He clearly is slowing down as he chases a championship, but runway models eventually get crow's feet, too.
Payton came into the NBA as a playmaker and stopper. He is in the all-time top six in both assists and steals and has crashed the top 25 in scoring as well. While you are remembering his nine All-Star berths and First Team All-Defense selections, don't forget his durability and competitive streak.
JASON KIDD: The closest thing to Magic Johnson in a point guard actually has won more assist titles (five). He also continues to rack up triple-doubles at a rate exceeded only by the man who invented them (Oscar Robertson) and the man who perfected them (Johnson).
Those who question his occasional prima donna behavior tend to forget his seven All-Defense selections and one-man transformation of a league laughingstock into a back-to-back conference champion. In his 12th season, he still plays at an All-Star level.
KOBE BRYANT: There is a perception, somewhat self-imposed, that Bryant must succeed on his own in order to validate his greatness. But do you know any contemporary player that would not have to ride shotgun to O'Neal? The fact that Bryant challenged that notion tells you all you need to know about his drive to be the best.
In Game Four of the 2000 Finals, Bryant took charge in overtime after O'Neal had fouled out, maturing in a matter of minutes before our eyes. He has seven All-Star berths, five All-Defense selections and two All-NBA nods and is just 27. He has plenty more to show us.
KEVIN GARNETT: The contemporary McAdoo, with passing ability to boot. His streak of 20-10-5 seasons is at seven, two longer than that of Larry Bird without the benefit of a pair of 50 Greatest Players sharing the frontcourt. And Garnett's run of All-Defense First Team selections is six and counting, which is six more than Bird.
That is about perspective rather than comparison. However, Garnett - like Bird - also changed the finances of the game. He still needs to update his postseason resume to something more than appearances, but at 29, he has lots of time.
TIM DUNCAN: Perhaps the most complete big man to play the game. Aside from his occasional free-throw shooting funks, there is not aspect of his game that you would not classify as a strength because his intelligence refuses to allow him to try things he knows he cannot do.
When Duncan makes First Team All-NBA after this season, he will match Bird's mark of nine straight selections at the outset of a career. With two MVPs, three championships, three Finals MVPs and still not yet 30, he is on his way to joining Jordan, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the pantheon of winning while dominating.
ALLEN IVERSON: The most talented small man to play the game. Better than Bob Cousy, Nate Archibald, Isiah Thomas or John Stockton, Iverson has an MVP, four scoring titles, three steals titles, six All-Star berths and a career playoff average of better than 30 points per game.
Now 30, Iverson also has one of the greatest motors in sports history. There are those who say he will burn it out or break down the same way Archibald and Thomas did. The truth is that playing point guard may extend his career rather than shorten it.
DIRK NOWITZKI: The original list had just two international players - Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing, both representative of the beginning of the foreign influence on the NBA in the 1980s. However, one in every six players today is from somewhere other than the United States, and they aren't just centers.
No player is more representative of the foreign invasion than Nowitzki, the best shooting big man in the history of the game. Just 27, the four-time All-Star has added post play and rugged rebounding to his unstoppable perimeter attack and has made the Mavericks his team, the same way Olajuwon and Ewing did with theirs.
LEBRON JAMES: Yes, we know he has yet to play 200 games. Yes, we are aware that he has yet to visit the playoffs. And yes, we know he can't legally buy a drink. Did you know that if James maintains his current career average of 24 points, remains relatively healthy and play until he is 36, he will have nearly 35,000 points?
He won't get there, because somewhere along the way he will realize that his long-term future - and the key to becoming a perennial winner - is to be less Michael and more Magic. Don't doubt him. He has figured out everything else so far, and he is just 20.

Doctoring The Numbers
The Amazing Mr. Furcal
Raves for Rafael (And the Braves)
Barely a month ago, I wrote that the Braves were taking a needless risk in rushing Rafael Furcal straight from A ball to the major leagues. While the financial ramifications are still going to crop up down the road, it is fairly obvious that from a talent standpoint, Bobby Cox knew exactly what he was doing. Again.
And fans should be thankful for the gamble, because it has allowed us to watch one of the greatest teenage players ever to play. How unusual is Furcal's combination of youth and speed? His 10 stolen bases already rank eighth all-time for players under age 20. The seven players ahead of him:
Name Year SB
Incidentally, Edgar Renteria is still listed by many sources as being born in 1975, not 1976, even though it is all but acknowledged that he (or the Marlins) fudged his age by one year when he signed.
With 26 runs in 43 games, Furcal is on pace to score 98 runs. The most runs scored by a teenager in a single season:
Name Year R
Furcal is also on pace to challenge the teenage record with 57 walks. Again, the record holders:
Name Year BB
What makes Furcal's feats--and feet--more impressive is that he is only playing part-time. On a per-at-bat basis, Furcal, at .324/.405/.378, is as productive as any teenager ever. Only four teenagers in history have hit .300 with at least 300 plate appearances:
Name Year Avg
And no teenager has ever posted a .400 OBP:
Name Year OBP
How unusual is it for a team as competitive as the Braves to break in such a young player? Consider this: of the 70 teams in history who won 100 or more games, exactly one, the 1936 Chicago Cubs, gave even 60 at-bats to a teenager. And those Cubs had a ready excuse: Phil Cavaretta, who was 19 when he batted 458 times in 1936, had already been a regular in 1935, when he hit .275 with eight home runs in the most productive season by an 18-year-old ever.
As an aside, was Cavaretta the Cesar Cedeno of the 1930s? Can you imagine what we'd say today about an 18-year-old who plays 146 games for a pennant-winning team with an OPS above league average? While Cavaretta finished just shy of 2,000 hits and won a batting title and an MVP award, both in war-torn 1945, he hit just 95 homers in his career. He hit eight homers at age 18, and finished with a career high of just 10.
If we expand the search to include the 305 teams defending a first-place finish from the previous season, only eight gave at least 100 at-bats to a teenage position player:
Year Team Player AB
That's right. This is only the ninth time in history that a team has attempted to defend its title with a teenage hitter in the lineup...and the second time that the Braves have done it in five years.

ELYRIA — The area wrestlers, coaches and fans said goodbye to another high school season Thursday night, and the three top seniors got to perform on the mats one last time during the 34th annual Lorain County Wrestling All-Star Meet.
The action kicked off with Black River's Sebastian Vidika, who won the Division III 106-pound state championship Saturday in Columbus and was named Lorain County's Wrestler of the Year on Thursday night.
"It's definitely a big honor getting that Wrestler of the Year trophy — just a good way to highlight the end of my season," Vidika said after a 15-1 win over Buckeye freshman Eric Bartos. "It was nice to have a little fun. Being serious throughout winning the state title … it was nice to have a little fun tonight."
Vidika has been flying high since capturing the area's lone state title less than a week ago.
"I've just been relaxing, eating a lot of food … just enjoying it," he said. "It took a couple days, but it finally sank in that I accomplished my goal and I'm on top in the state right now."
The spotlight match at the all-star meet was between Elyria senior Armando Torres and Clearview senior Markus Cruz at 120 pounds. Torres won a 15-1 major decision over the Division II state placer, then was named the Division I Wrestler of the Year.
"It's definitely satisfying being on top of the county right now," Torres said. "It's bittersweet, that's what I would say. It's really good that I got to end on a better note than I did at state and come out with a win, especially being in my home gym … that means a lot."
Torres was the Division I 113-pound state runner-up as a junior, but suffered a shoulder injury during a consolation match in Columbus on Friday and defaulted out of the state tournament.
"It's sore right now because I just wrestled, but it's fine," Torres said of his shoulder. "It should be fine after this little break."
Torres' break will last no longer than a week or two, then the Pioneers star plans on preparing for his career at Eastern Michigan.
"I know I'm going to try to get out to Ypsilanti (Mich.) during the summer and get some workouts in with the team," he said. "I'm going to try and train with (Elyria coach Erik Burnett) as much as I can, preparing for the next level.
"They basically told me I would red shirt my freshman year, hit up open tournaments and get adjusted to college wrestling. That's the plan as of right now."
The final award winner was Vermilion's Mike Repko, who was named the Division II Wrestler of the Year just five days after finishing as the 152-pound state runner-up.
"This was a great experience," he said. "Not being able to wrestle for the first three years of your high school career, then your senior year making a last run, going to the state finals and then being the wrestler of the year … it's amazing."
Repko earned a 4-3 decision over North Ridgeville senior Colin Riley on Thursday night.
"It's good to end on a win, too," Repko said. "It's an honor to be here. You're the best in the area and you get to celebrate with people that you know … it's pretty cool."
Repko nearly had given up on his wrestling career a few months ago, then decided to give it one last chance right before the West Shore Conference tournament. After the dream run, Repko isn't ready to say goodbye to the sport.
"I'm 99.9 percent sure that I'm wrestling in college," he said. "The next couple of weeks I'm going to visit some colleges that I'm interested in.
"It's just been crazy the last couple of weeks. It's an amazing feeling … a perfect ending."
The Lorain County Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association inducted the 2014 class into its Hall of Fame during the event. The six inductees included Buckeye wrestlers Nick Nutter and Brian Bartos, Wellington wrestler Ryan Myers, coach Skip Fair, official Vince Matteucci and service award winner Roberto Cobos.
* The organization brought 53 Hall of Fame enshrinees to the event and recognized them during the matches.
* The Coach of the Year award winners were Burnett in Division I, Keystone's Jim Pycraft in Division II and Black River's Corey Kline in Division III. Tom Bauer, who was inducted into the state's Hall of Fame in Columbus last weekend, was named the Official of the Year.
* The scholarship award winners were Riley of North Ridgeville, Logan Stiner of Keystone, Bryce Williams of Amherst and Vidika of Black River.

City officials are launching an education campaign to quell the many questions coming from the public about the ordinance that will ban the use of handheld wireless devices within the city limits while operation a vehicle.
In September the city approved the ordinance, that will go into effect 30 days after the required signs will be installed at various locations around the city and at all city limits. The city is expecting the effective date of the ordinance to be Jan. 2. Police will begin issuing warnings for 30 days before beginning issuing citations.
As part of the educational campaign the city has a FAQ on the amarillo.gov website that explains in plain language what the ban means and the safety importance of not texting and driving. The website also includes the actual ordinance.
The educational campaign is expected to help the public understand law and the penalties for violating the ordinance. The city, also, is planning visiting with businesses, schools and other institutions to explain the law and penalties.
The city is inviting comments about the educational effort by visiting with the City Commission in the next meeting. The next meeting is to take place in the Commission Chambers of City Hall on Dec. 4 at 5:30 p.m.

Idaho man on the run over child exploitation charges captured
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) A northern Idaho man wanted on child molestation charges has been apprehended in California.
Police in Coeur d'Alene confirmed Friday that 32-year-old Nathaniel Howell was in custody after several months in hiding. Howell faces multiple counts of lewd conduct with a child and sexual exploitation of a child.
The Coeur d'Alene Press reports Howell was being sought on a $150,000 felony warrant.
He came close to being captured late last year while visiting relatives in Sagle. Police say Howell arrived at the home on Dec. 27 but spotted officers stationed nearby and ran through the nearby woods, escaping.
Authorities say an extradition hearing will be scheduled to bring Howell back to Idaho.

Business Team Makes Its Case!
The GPRC Team, aka US Dollar, competed in the Ninth Annual Alberta Deans of Business Case Competion in Red Deer. Our team placed third in Alberta. The case involved an immigrant entrepenteur, Shu Guo and her company Hi-Bridge Consulting Corporation which is the importer of Yanjing Beer into Canada.
The teams were handed the case and then sequestered for over nine hours on Friday with no smart phones or other communication devices. They then worked on PowerPoint slides. At six pm, the teams had to submit a flash drive containing their finalized PowerPoints. Team US Dollar then spent from 7:30pm to 1:30am preparing and fine tuning the presentation. At 11:00 am the team then presented its case to a panel of judges, and answered questions as posed by the judges.
Team US Dollar, alone of the thirteen teams competing, recommended that Shu Guo sell her business to either Molson Coors or to AnhaueserBusch InBev. Ms Guo could then devote her time to assisting other immigrant entrepenteurs developing and building their businesses.
Names were actually taken—various business and banking executives were in the audience for the presentations, and were taking notes. After the presentations, these executives then approached various students for one on one conversations and possible job recruiting.
Our team consisted of; Braden Armstrong, Mariah Braun, Lucas Hinks, Erin Hoffmann, Katey Pedersen, Advisers: Charles Backman, Doris Hoveland, Pat Coristine.

GPRC and GPFC Keep Working Together!
Grande Prairie Regional College has partnered with the Grande Prairie Friendship Centre (GPFC) to take a new step forward in Aboriginal relations. To kick off the Spirit Seekers Conferene last Friday, the two groups signed a Memorandum of Agreement that will set the stage for their interaction over the next few years.
GPRC is the only institution in Canada that has an on campus Friendship Centre, providing students with services, support and recreational activities. The agreement signifies a commitment to expand the college's Aboriginal services to stewardship areas across the province.
"We'll be exploring what opportunities there are to extend our relationship with the Grande Prairie Friendship Centre in those regions and perhaps with other Friendship Centres that might exist in those towns," said Susan Bansgrove. "What once was once a local relationship is going provincial, and the college staff couldn't happier!"

The Planking Challenge Was Met!
The plankers slowly walked in to meet their fate. Shortly after noon, they laid it all out on the floor of the Douglas J Cardinal theatre while waiting for time keeper Don Gnatiuk to start the clock. Everyone lasted well over a minute, after which they started dropping one by one.
It came down to a test of resistance between John Rowe and Paul Oostra, with John giving in after an impressive 2 minutes and 38 seconds. Congratulations to Paul on his winning time of 2 minutes and 40 seconds! Paul was awarded the inaugural planking trophy, hand made by his closest competitor. All participants had lots of fun, and some candy didn't hurt the mood either! We hope to make it bigger and better next time, so start practicing now!!

Care for a fig tree by planting it in a good site, adding a layer of mulch, watering it regularly and fertilizing it as necessary. Prune the tree only to lightly shape it or remove dead, damaged and diseased wood.Continue Reading
Select a site in which to plant a fig tree or place a potted fig plant that receives plenty of full sun such as by a wall that reflects heat and light. The soil needs to be rich and well-drained with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Plant the tree in spring.
After newly planting a fig tree, water it deeply and regularly until the roots become established. After that, water the tree at least once every two weeks and more often in dry climates. If the leaves start to yellow, water the plant more often. Add a thick layer of mulch around the tree to keep the soil moist.
Fertilize a fig tree only if it is potted or growing slowly. When you do fertilize it, give it one-fourth a pound of nitrogen four times during the growing season. Promptly remove any dead, damaged or diseased wood from the tree. Otherwise, prune it only lightly to shape it. During winter, insulate the tree trunk with dry straw fastened down with chicken wire.Learn more about Trees & Bushes

BUFFALO — Somewhere in the sea of Aaron Lewis strikeouts, Charleston Catholic batters managed to get some metal on the Buffalo ace's pitches.
When they did, good things happened for the Irish.
Catholic strung together seven hits and a few Bison errors, and used good outfield play to win 8-4 in the Class A Region 4 Section 4 tournament. The teams meet again at 6:30 p.m. today at Buffalo, with Catholic needing one win to advance to regionals.
Lewis struck out eight in three innings, after which he was replaced by Laythen Good. In the third, Lewis struck out four batters, but that meant one of them reached base — and in this case, scored the go-ahead run.
Leadoff hitter Jordan Covelli was the one who whiffed and reached first anyway, courtesy of a wild pitch. Sam McKown singled Covelli over to third and, after Trae Swisher walked, Covelli scored on another wild pitch.
That was merely one run, but it was the one that gave the Irish a 4-3 lead it did not relinquish. Catholic's scoring began with three runs in the first, continued with three in the fourth and finished with an error-aided run in the fifth.
In the fourth, pitcher Connor Golden doubled in a run and McKown tallied his third RBI with a ground out.
Lewis gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead in the top of the first with a sacrifice fly, with Nick Gunther alertly scoring on a short fly caught by the second baseman. When Lewis went to the mound, he got three strikeouts.
But he didn't quite strike out the side on the Irish (21-9).
With one out, Covelli walked. Golden hit a grounder to first baseman Blake Caplinger, who opted to try to get Covelli at second instead of taking the easier out at first. Caplinger's throw hit Covelli in the helmet, putting runners at first and second.
McKown compounded that error with a two-run single to right for a 2-1 Catholic lead. With two outs, Swisher followed two batters later with a run-scoring single.
"Trae Swisher has really, really improved over the course of the season," said Catholic coach Bill Mehle. "[He's a] freshman coming into the program; I had to really convince him early on how to take a two-strike approach, grip up on the bat, hit the ball to the opposite field with a line-drive swing plane.
"And he has bought into it and learned. It was a huge hit off Lewis in the first inning. I think that planted the seed of doubt [in Lewis] that we're not going to go down swinging and missing."
Buffalo (15-11) came back in the top of the second with a Caplinger double, a Connor Fields walk, a Brandon Buntura single, an error that resulted in one run and Gunther's bases-loaded walk that tied the game at 3.
But that's all the Bison scored until the seventh inning on doubles by Good and Fisher. In the third through sixth innings, Golden (9-0) gave up three hits and no walks.
Golden's outfielders had his back, so to speak. Left-fielder Michael Martin was solid, catching two hard-hit Fisher fly balls near the fence, and robbing Fields with a diving catch in the sixth.
That impressed Buffalo coach Jimmy Tribble, who was less enthusiastic about his team's performance.
"What hurts us, and it's hurt us in the games we've lost, we get a guy on with two outs," he said. "We can't get the leadoff guys on, and we can't start that big inning. When we do have them on there, we can't get them in.
"I bet we've left more men on base than anybody in West Virginia."
For the record, Buffalo's leadoff hitters made outs in the first four innings, and the Bison stranded seven runners.

The Presbyterian Church of St Andrew [the Apsotle],
on Cox Street, Geraldine
On Cox St. is a beautiful church built of stones collected from the local river beds and was dedicated on November 30 1950. The above church has three stained glass windows. photo
Timaru Herald Wednesday 19th March 1873
Presbyterian Church, Geraldine.
On last Sunday, the above building though not entirely completed was opened for Divine service. The rain cleared off during the night, towards eleven o'clock on Sabbath morning carriages, buggies, traps and horses, all bearing their living freight, together with a few pedestrians, were seen assembling from all quarters. The congregation may be said were the largest ever seen in Geraldine. The Church itself is fully seated, but in addition to this accommodation the seats of the school house and the Wesleyan Chapel were absorbed. The Wesleyans in deference to the occasion very courteously closed their place of worship for the day. The Rev. Geo. Barclay conducted the service in the morning - setting fourth from Acts, xvi, 13 14, what he termed "Three great institutes of religion... The Rev. R. Ewen preached in the evening from John v, ii ... The choir consisted of volunteers from Geraldine, Temuka and Timaru. The Rev. G. Barclay having stated at the morning service that some £30 were wanted by the building committee, the collections - which says much for the liberality of the congregation -amounted to within a trifle of that sum. [The Geraldine Church was built in 1873 was moved to Cox St. in 1887. ]
Otago Witness, 15 April 1882, Page 9
The Rev. George Barclay, Presbyterian minister, who is leaving Timaru for the Old Country, was presented at Geraldine with a cheque for £550, subscribed by his parishioners and many other friends.
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church On Cox
St. is a beautiful church built of stones collected from the local river
beds and was dedicated on November 30 1950.
The Presbyterian church at Woodbury was first erected in 1887 and doubled in
size in 1892. Bells for both churches were donated by Rev. George Barclay
J.P. (1835-1908) who arrived at Lyttelton on 1st January 1865. He was
ordained March 8 of that year in St Paul's Church, Christchurch and placed
over the South Canterbury charge with its headquarters in Timaru in 1865.
The people in Timaru complained that there minister was away too much.
Likewise the rural areas complained they did not see him enough. A church
was built in Temuka with Rev. Barclay as minister. In 1872 he accepted a
call to move to Geraldine. In 1879 this charge was divided into three
charges. Geraldine, Point and Temuka. The Geraldine church was built in 1873
was moved to Cox St. in 1887. Rev. Barclay was active in education affairs,
a member of the South Canterbury Education Board from its inception and for
a long time Chairman of the Appointment Committee.

WAIMATE, July 20
The Rev. George Barclay, pioneer Presbyterian clergyman of South Canterbury, has died, after a short illness. He was the father of Mr A. R. Barclay, M.A., Dunedin, and of Dr. Barclay, of Waimate. Mr Barclay was born in Ireland about 1835 or 1836; and was educated, party, at University College, London, and partly at other Home institutions. Ho received his theological training in the College of the English Presbyterian Church, and afterwards became a licentiate of the Presbytery of London. In January, 1865, be landed in Lyttelton, and, a short time after, he took up his abode-in Timaru, his district extending from the Rangitata in the north to the Waitaki in the south, and east and west - was far as he could go across the island. In later years Mr Barclay took an active interest in the work of education in South Canterbury, as a member of the South Canterbury Education Board, and it. was chiefly through his agency that Waimate obtained its High School.
Mr Barclay, was well known for his willingness to travel throughout his parish, often make a round trip on horseback to Temuka, Geraldine and Pleasant Point after Sunday services in Timaru.

Fly to Accra from the UK and uncover the warm heart of West Africa. Flights to Accra are the best way to get under the country's skin.
Experience Ghana's wild beaches and good surf, the elephants of Mole National Park and the forts of Cape Coast and Elmina – a solemn reminder of Ghana's history of slavery. But the capital, Accra, is where the party is, not only in a number of swish bars and clubs every night but also at the beach on weekends. White Sands and Bojo beaches are attractive choices, while wild Labadi Beach is a must for people watching on Sundays.
British Airways flights to Accra take 6 hours and 50 minutes. Ghana's vibrant capital is 1 hour behind London. With a tropical equatorial climate, Accra is hot (an average of 30˚C all year round) with seasonal rains. Too hot? Hit one of its beaches to feel the cool breeze off the Gulf of Guinea or take time out in the wonderful Aburi Botanical Gardens situated outside town.

Accra airport, situated three miles from the city centre, is serviced by a metered airport taxi. It's possible to prearrange an airport pick up by booking online. Once in the city, taxis travel on fixed runs between major landmarks, making them a convenient option – though you'll have to negotiate a price first. If your budget will allow it, consider hiring a car with a driver. Either way, prepare to spend a lot of time sitting in traffic; Accra's roads are famously congested. The good news is that the city is safe and easy to walk around during the day.
There are a number of restaurants outside the main terminal building at Accra airport. Once checked in, there's a small duty-free, and two excellent shops selling beautiful traditional garb and leather accessories, as well as local food products. There's also a decent restaurant and bar, and, for plane spotters, a viewing gallery.

Varieties & Textures of French Chèvre
French goat cheeses can be classified into three main categories:
1. Fresh
Rind-less, bought either as is out of its mold, or in the mold with a bit of whey remaining.
- Spreadable Goat Cheese
- Fresh Log
- Goat Feta
- Le Cornilly
2. Soft-Ripened
Soft cheese with natural rind or bloomy rind.
Natural rind: Air naturally dries the outside of cheese, forming a thin crust over time, which is the rind.
- Bûcheron/Bûcherondin
- Crottin
- Chabichou du Poitou PDO
- Le Chevrot
- Selles-sur-Cher
- Valençay
- Sainte-Maure de Touraine
- Sainte-Maure Caprifeuille
- Le Pico
- Pavé de Jadis
Bloomy Rind: During the cheese-making process, the outside of the cheese is coated with Penicillium candidum. The rind that forms as a result is white, soft and sometimes a little fuzzy or "bloomy."
- Goat Camembert
- Goat Brie
- Florette
- Chèvre d'Argental
- Brique de Chèvre
3. Aged
Some cheeses require up to 12 weeks before being released on the market.
- Tomme de Chèvre
- Bleu de chèvre
Shapes & Origins of French Chèvre
From crottins to cylinders to pyramids, there are many French goat cheese shapes to discover.
Every region in France has its own cheese specialties, closely tied to its land and traditions. A goat cheese is instantly identifiable by its shape — which indicates its flavor.
And in addition to the shape, they come in gradations of colors: bright white when fresh, gray with ash, rolled in herbs or wrapped in leaves. Each goat cheese has its own identity and personality.
Some are made from raw milk while others are pasteurized. To note: French goat cheeses made of raw milk are available in the U.S. only if they are aged over 60 days.

COUNCIL Scrooges nabbed 370 drivers on city bus lanes on Christmas and New Year's Day - despite there being no buses on the road.
Angry motorists have hit out at the less than festive behaviour which saw bus lane cameras snap the cars in 15 hot spots across Glasgow.
All drivers were issued with penalty charges of £30, increasing to £60 if not paid in 14 days.
This means the council stands to make at least £11,100 from city drivers over the two days of tne holiday period.
The exact totals have not been disclosed by the local authority.
Figures show that the cameras caught 147 people on Christmas Day and 223 on New Year's Day.
And a total of 422 drivers were fined the previous year - 156 on Christmas Day 2012 and 266 on New Years Day 2013.
If all fines were paid within 14 days this would have generated £12,660 for the local authority.
First Bus, the biggest bus operator in the city, did not run any services on Christmas Day.
The only service it ran on New Year's Day was the Glasgow Shuttle, number 500, which travels between the city centre and Glasgow Airport.
A revised timetable was in operation from December 22 to January 3.
One local driver who was caught out on Christmas Day, contacted the Evening Times following our series of stories on the issue of bus lanes.
Justin Bose, from Clydebank, was caught by a camera driving in a part-time bus lane in Great Western Road at 4.38pm on Christmas Day.
The lane in question is only in force Monday to Saturday from 7am to 9.30am and 4pm to 6.30pm. It is not in operation on a Sunday.
Mr Bose, 43, unsuccessfully appealed the fine with the council and is now referring it to the Scottish Parking Appeal Service.
He told the Evening Times: "I'm not denying that I wasn't in the lane, but I'm questioning why this bus lane - and any other for that matter - was in operation on this date."
Mr Bose said he contacted First Bus and Citybus Glasgow which told him they did not have services in the city centre on December 25.
The motorist added: "I have appealed to Glasgow City Council on the basis that the fine is unfair, unjustifiable and unreasonable.
"I cannot understand how someone can be fined for driving in a bus lane on the one day of the year when there are no bus services operating.
"Traffic on the road on Christmas Day is even less than that on any regular Sunday, which these part time lanes are not in operation on.
"It's a completely stupid rule and lacks any common sense."
We told this week how Glasgow City Council raked in £2.5million in bus lane fines after issuing over 101,000 to drivers last year.
The most profitable lane is Glassford Street where £545,280 was gathered in fines from 23,250 drivers.
We also revealed that more than 250 council workers were caught out driving local authority cars in the city's camera enforced lanes in the last two years.
A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said the figures for those caught on Christmas Day and New Year's Day have fallen since last year.
He said: "Bus lanes should not be driven in during enforcement hours, no matter what day of the year it is. If you drive in a bus lane you are committing an offence."

The Mormon Godhead and 'Modern Revelation'
Mormonism is a 'restorationist' religion with its own peculiar dispensationalist model. It is, therefore, in the nature of Mormon thinking to consider the 'modern revelation' of their latter-day prophets as most relevant to our day and age, giving insights for the latest dispensation. From the Bible Code to the Davinci Code, from James Frazer to Von Daniken and Colin Wilson,…read more →

|This climb is actually fun. I did it yesterday. It is worth doing if you are in the area. It is a little delicate getting to the bolt. One step up from bolt and a 5.10a step to the left and reach up to the left to a jug. The next section is 'R' or a grounder for sure, but easy; you won't fall. The rest of the climb is 5.7 or 5.8. After 70' or 80' traverse right to a bolted rap station.

PARIS (Nov. 25)
A lone gunman this afternoon shot in cold blood three people working in a Paris travel agency which specializes in trips to Israel. The agency's manager, 53-year-old Edwin Douek was shot in the head and his condition is described as serious. His wife, Michele, 29, was killed, and a clerk was slightly wounded. Police have no clues as to the identity of the gunman, but eyewitnesses present at the time of the attack said the assailant appeared to be an Arab.
The man, who used a submachine gun, just walked into the small travel agency, It-Tours, which describes itself as "Israel's specialized travel agency in Paris, " without saying a word and opened fire with his weapon which he had concealed under his rain coat. Witnesses said he made no attempt to take any money or valuables and, according to them, the attack appeared to be motivated only by the agency's specialized work with Israel.

So we've talked about a lot of cakes thus far and I've shared a lot of tips for food storage like how to use beans for butter and oil and adding whole wheat. Who can forget the super easy Molten Lava Cake, Banana Dream Cake, or the irresistible Tropical Orange Cake. So far all of these cakes have been great after dinner treats but in my husband's family, they have a saying "Life is short eat dessert first." So how do you feel good about eating cake during the first meal of the day? Yeah, you you call it a MUFFIN!
So today I'm sharing the BEST muffin recipe ever. They actually rise and rise really well. Like what you would buy from a store! You can tell from the picture that they are moist and have great texture. I also picked up a new trick for using freeze dried fruit!
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (I used half all-purpose and half whole wheat)
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or white bean puree)
- 1 egg (1 T. dry egg powder + 2 T. water)
- ⅓ cup milk (1 T. dry non-instant milk powder or 2 T. dry instant milk powder + ⅓ C. water)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (1¼ C. freeze dried blueberries)
- TOPPING (optional)
- ½ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup butter, cubed
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
- Combine 1½ cups flour, ¾ cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil or bean puree into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. If you are using beans and powders for both milk and water, simply measure your bean puree and fill the rest of the cup with water. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
- To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together ½ cup sugar, ⅓ cup flour, ¼ cup butter, and 1½ teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
Guess what….if you're going to put freeze dried fruit in something like this-don't bother trying to hydrate them. They get way too fragile and will stain everything you do purple-in the case of blueberries. Go ahead and just throw them in as they are and they will hydrate in the product and be much easier to stir.
Help Spread the Word!
I love it when you share my tips and recipes for food storage! Do me a quick favor, if you like what you see please share it on facebook, pinterest, or blog about it! And make sure you link either the word "food storage" or "Everyday Food Storage" back to me. Thanks-it makes all the hard work worth it!

Australian illustrator and author Shaun Tan has won the 2011 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for children's literature, the prize jury said Tuesday.
It described Tan as "a masterly visual storyteller, pointing the way ahead to new possibilities for picture books."
Tan, 37, has produced about 20 books, including "Tales from Outer Suburbia" and "The Rabbits" - a dark and controversial allegory of colonization written by John Marsden and illustrated by Tan when he was only 22.
Earlier this year he won an Oscar for the animated film adaptation of his book "The Lost Thing," which follows a beach-combing boy who sees what others can't: A lumbering rust-colored being with little red bells on lobster-like claws and an industrial shell wandering unnoticed in the sand.
His books have been translated into more than 10 languages and he has also produced musical and theatrical adaptations of his works, as well as fine art and murals.
Tan grew up in a suburb of Perth in Western Australia with his Chinese father and Australian mother.
The annual 5 million Swedish kronor ($780,000) award is named after late Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren, creator of the Pippi Longstocking book series.
Jury chairman Larry Lempert said Tan's originality, respect for children and a tendency not to shy away from dark subjects in many ways resemble Lindgren's spirit.
"His pictorial worlds constitute a separate universe where nothing is self-evident and anything is possible," he said, while announcing the prize. "Memories of childhood and adolescence are fixed reference points, but the pictorial narrative is universal and touches everyone, regardless of age."

Airport Shuttle Bus
For most people, airports mean airplanes, takeoffs and landings. But much of what makes an airport function smoothly actually takes place on the ground: employees need to be transferred to their workstations, crews need to be delivered to their planes, and passengers need to be shuttled between parking lots, car rental agencies and terminals.
Airports across the US trust Transdev to manage and operate their ground transportation services. Three of our leading airport locations include Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, Arizona, the Mineta San Jose Airport in northern California, and Dulles Airport in Washington, DC.
When it comes to airport ground transportation, punctuality and serving the inevitable ebbs and flows of airport traffic are critical. To meet the demanding standards of our clients and passengers, Transdev has developed scheduling and dispatch programs tailored to busy airport environments. We follow security procedures that meet the strict criteria of airport authorities. We train our drivers in safety, courtesy and customer care. We understand that we are an extension of the airport authority and we make sure our operations measure up to the values and standards of our clients.
For further information on topics related to our airport bus business, please visit the Bus section of this website, or visit these areas: Safety, Passenger Care, Maintenance, Sustainability, Employee Development and Technology.
University Bus / Shuttle
Universities are in the business of educating students, so they shouldn't have to worry about getting them to and from classes. That's why schools like Northern Illinois University, Johns Hopkins University, Texas State University and University of Central Floriday choose to leave the driving to Transdev. We provide conventional bus services, university shuttles and innovative solutions. We offer a complete and flexible range of bus and shuttle services, including:
Transdev works closely with university administrators to design and operate mobility services that meet the unique needs of students, faculty and employees. But we're more than just a service provider – we're a partner in the campus community. We've provided internships, training and employment to interested students. We've even offered our operations as case studies for business school projects.

How Marriage Annulments Differ from Divorces and the Grounds for Obtaining a Marriage Annulment
Divorces and annulments both have the same effect--they dissolve the marriage. However, they differ in how they treat the marriage. When people get a divorce, they are still recognized as having been married previously. An annulment, on the other hand, treats the marriage as though it never existed. Some situations place people in such awkward positions, that they simply want to treat the marriage as though it never existed. Some people do not want the stigma they believe attaches to divorce. Others may prefer an annulment for religious reasons.
Civil Annulments
Annulments are a form of relief for people who were placed in situations in which they never should have been married. Because civil annulments treat the marriage as though it never existed, a person must have a pretty good reason to obtain one. Typically, one of the following requirements must be met.
- Fraud or misrepresentation. Fraud or misrepresentation occurs when one of the spouses has lied about something. Misrepresentation of things like the ability to produce children, not being married to anyone else, marrying just to gain citizenship, and being old enough to consent to marriage, are all grounds for an annulment based on fraud or misrepresentation.
- Concealment. If one of the spouses hid a major fact, the other may have grounds for an annulment. This could include a substance abuse problem, a felony conviction, children, impotency, or sexually transmitted diseases.
- Misunderstanding. Usually, a misunderstanding that constitutes an annulment is based on the desire to have children. This misunderstanding must be substantial to the marriage to constitute grounds for an annulment.
- Impotency or Incest. If one of the spouses is incurably impotent, the other spouse has grounds for an annulment, as long as that spouse was not aware of the impotency prior to the marriage. Two people who are too close in familial relation to marry also have grounds for an annulment. This could include whole or half siblings, first cousins, parents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, etc.
- Lack of consent. Both parties must have the mental capacity to consent and must consent voluntarily to the marriage. If a party was forced or threatened into the marriage, the marriage can be annulled. One lacks mental capacity to consent to the marriage if they were insane or intoxicated at the time of the marriage.
These things are usually discovered early on in the marriage, and so, there typically is no need to divide property or decide on issues regarding children. However, most state laws do govern how to decide such issues should an annulment of a long-term marriage occur. Check with your state's laws regarding property division and child custody, visitation, and support. If you do have children from an annulled marriage, these children are not considered illegitimate.
Religious Annulments
While the courts have their grounds for obtaining an annulment, the grounds for obtaining a religious annulment are different. However, both types of annulments have essentially the same effect--the marriage is treated as though it never existed.
In the Catholic Church, a diocesan tribunal, rather than a court of law, decides whether the marriage bond was less than a covenant for life, because it was lacking in some way from the very beginning. Either or both parties may obtain an annulment if they can show adequate grounds that the marriage was majorly lacking in some way. Grounds for finding that the marriage was lacking include a lack of:
- Openness and honesty
- Maturity
- Voluntarily entering the marriage
- Appropriate motivation
- Emotional stability
- Capacity to establish a loving marital community
If the tribunal grants the annulment, then both parties may remarry in the Catholic Church. Many churches do require, however, that a party from an annulled marriage undergo counseling before remarrying to ensure that the same mistakes are not made again. Like in the court of law, the legitimacy of the children of an annulled marriage is not questioned.
Next Steps: Get a Free Case Review from a Legal Expert
There are many misconceptions about legal annulments, including when they are available and under what circumstances. Each state has different requirements and not all persons seeking to annul their union will be entitled. Find out more by contacting a family law attorney who handles legal annulment cases for a free initial case review.

Google regularly makes creative use of its homepage art that it has patented as "Doodles." Wednesday's logo, however, is the Internet company's most powerful visual statement ever.
Where the brightly colored letters spelling "Google" normally appear, today the iconic logo is almost entirely blocked out and blacked out to protest proposed congressional legislation involving Internet regulation.
Click on the black "redacted" logo and the directive "Tell Congress: Please don't censor the Web" appears in the search bar. Click on the logo and Google takes you to a signable petition beneath the slogan, "End piracy, not liberty."
On explaining its opposition, Google writes in part: "There's no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs."
Such a prominent visual statement distinctly underscores the degree to which such Web sites as Google.com and Wikipedia have become such a profound part of the daily routine for hundreds of millions. Wikipedia — the crowd-sourced free encyclopedia — had announced that its U.S. site would go dark for 24 hours Wednesday, as of midnight Eastern time.
The Post's David A. Fahrenthold writes that technology companies "such as Twitter, Wikipedia and Google have used their massive reach into Americans' daily lives as a political weapon, to whip up support from online users."
The bills in question are the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House, and the Protect IP [intellectual property] Act in the Senate. Their purpose is to curb online piracy committed by foreign Web sites by restricting U.S. companies; the bills have the support of numerous Hollywood entertainment companies (including Disney-owned Marvel Entertainment). Tech companies such as Google, The Post reports, "argue that the bills would impose huge regulatory costs and stifle innovation on the Web."
To raise awareness of the proposed legislation and spur its users to be heard, Google lets the stark boldness of its logo "art" do the talking.
For Google, after all, mobilization is the new black.

Digestive Disorders
Use of veg. laxative
I have been using a veg. lax daily for the past 5 or 6 years because of a medication I was using. How can I stop this and get my bowels back to a normal daily movement or have I caused permanent damage to my bowels?
That is a difficult one. Most laxatives do eventually cause a "lazy bowel". I would increase fiber in your diet slowly as you wean yourself off the laxatives. I find Miralax to be a better alternative to other laxatives if you need something.
