Travelling To Rekindle Your 'Love' Or Find A 'Fling' Is A Thing
09/11/2015 8:30 PM AEDT | Updated 15/07/2016 12:51 PM AEST
Julia Naughton Associate Lifestyle Editor, HuffPost Australia
Gone are the days of travelling somewhere for the sights and culture. No, new research suggests for some Australians at least, the sole reason we travel is to seek or rekindle love and romance.
Lastminute.com.au has revealed one in five Australians have taken a last minute holiday in an effort to save their relationship while one in six have chosen a particular holiday destination specifically based on the potential to have a fling there.
Of those looking for romance, more than 70 percent were successful and one in 10 Aussies who met on a holiday "fling-cation" are still together.
"The holiday fling version of ourselves is often carefree, relaxed and that 'ready to go with the flow' person we often lose in our everyday lives," Dr Nikki Goldstein, dating and relationship expert and sexologist said.
Bali took out the top international destination for Aussies looking for a holiday hook-up followed by the U.S. (mainland) and Hawaii, while the Gold Coast is the number one domestic destination with Sydney and Melbourne taking second and third place respectively.
Goldstein said taking a trip when your relationship is breaking down is a good thing. After all, the excitement of trying something new together produces serotonin and dopamine in our brains -- the same chemicals associated with happiness and falling in love.
However, regardless of whether the relationship works out or not, Goldstein said taking a trip is a good opportunity for both of you to gain some perspective.
"Whether you stay together or things don't work out, sometimes space away from reality and your busy life can help you gain perspective on your relationship without interference, stress or anxiety," Goldstein said.
Top international destinations Australians head to for a fling-cation:
1. Bali
2. U.S. (mainland)
3. Hawaii
4. Thailand
5. Greece
6. France
7. New Zealand
8. Vietnam
9. Spain
10. Italy
The top domestic destinations Australians head to when looking for a fling-cation:
1. Gold Coast, QLD
2. Sydney, NSW
3. Melbourne, VIC
4. Byron Bay, NSW
5. Whitsundays, QLD

Next steps for facilities upgrades outlined by Lake Chelan Community Hospital Commissioners
The Lake Chelan Community Hospital Board of Commissioners continue to compile plans and data for a potential new medical campus, after breaking down reports and research during a facilities workshop held on Thursday, June 2.
Lake Chelan Community Hospital (LCCH) hired a consultant, Jody Carona, from Health Facilities Planning and Development, to present data with her recommendations moving forward. Carona has been a consultant for hospitals for the last 35 years, almost exclusively for rural hospitals similar to LCCH.
"The steering committee has worked for the last nine months on analyzing our facility health needs in this community," said Commissioner Mary Signorelli. "We are here primarily to bring the rest of the board members who have not been a part of this process together so that everybody can move forward to make a decision in the future."
Commissioners received a packet of information that included a debt capacity study, a site analysis and a strategic master facilities plan, along with a recommendation from the facilities steering committee.
Click here to download the Master Planning Facilities Workshop presentation from the June 2 LCCH Board of Commissioners' workshop.
Because it was a workshop there were no final decisions or actions, but the Board of Commissioners had the goal of reaching a consensus on the master plan direction.
"The committee's recommendation is to build a hospital as part of a medical campus at Apple Blossom Center," Carona said. "Their secondary option is a phased approach at Apple Blossom, and the third is to remodel and expand at the existing hospital. Even though it is a third option it is not a recommendation, but it is something to evaluate."
The debt capacity study was done by Ross Manson of Eide Bailly, and included a financial analysis of what LCCH could afford and manage in terms of debt.
Manson determined through the hospital's ability to service debt, while maintaining a large enough cash balance to operate, LCCH could afford a project between $15 million and $20 million. This debt would be in addition to the $7.8 million that the hospital has currently.
"I was surprised by some of these figures and with Ross' presentation," said Commissioner Tom Warren. "I'm not sure we can build the hospital we need with $20 million."
LCCH CEO Kevin Abel said that without a financial partner or some kind of organization, the hospital will not be able to get the roughly $35 million it needs to complete a project.
After the debt capacity study, commissioners listened to a presentation from Carona that outlined a strategic master facilities plan for LCCH, and her recommendations for moving forward.
"You are in an enviable position, because you're growing while most (rural hospitals) are shrinking," Carona said. "When we're trying to plan for that, it's a little bit different than when we see a hospital with slow but steady growth and an influx of tourists as well."
Carona said healthcare is moving in the direction of prevention and wellness, where a strong primary care base is integrated into communities. There is the idea of identifying people at risk for deterioration in their health and coordinating care, so that they are not coming into the emergency room or being hospitalized, Carona said. She added that it would benefit the hospital greatly to continue to follow this trend and focus more on developing the hospital's community clinic.
Carona used a number of factors including demographics, health care reform, the changing roles of primary care, and advances in technology to determine the future of LCCH volume and what upgrades the hospital would need.
"Our conclusion is that during peak times and during the day, you're going to need more capacity," Carona said. "We recommend increasing slightly beyond the 13 [universal] beds you currently have for the hospital. If you choose not to go beyond 15 or 16 beds, we recommend you look at how to accelerate discharge or create short stay areas."
Carona added that the emergency department needs more treatment capacity, and that the hospital should plan for more than average volumes with six rooms and integration of walk-in, after hours, or urgent care.
"I surprised myself with the recommendation," said Carona. "If it's financially feasible, I would recommend you look at moving forward with a medical campus at a new location. This current building is at the end of its useful life."
Carona cited 45-year-old infrastructure and design that "struggles to provide the care that [the hospital] is planning to provide in the future."
The Board of Commissioners will also hope to upgrade the Lake Chelan Community Clinic in addition to the hospital because of design flaws in the layout of the building.
"With 16 treatment rooms, the existing clinic has sufficient capacity, but the space is not designed for today's care delivery," Carona said. "Co-locating with the hospital for easy access to lab, x-ray and pharmacy should create efficiencies and benefit patients."
Re-designing the clinic would not be a viable option according to the commissioners because of having to divert patients during construction and the loss in revenue from doing so.
Abel added that the hospital currently applies for waivers with the Department of Health in order to remodel rooms without having to meet all of the code requirements.
"I suspect the time will come when waivers won't get granted. You just never know with that kind of thing," Abel said, adding that without a waiver the hospital would not have been able to install its new CT scanner.
The commissioners all agreed that the current hospital facility is inadequate in providing the best healthcare for the community, but struggled to come to an agreement in the solution.
"To put more money into this facility is almost a waste of money," Signorelli said. "We'll do it as long as we need to in order to keep it running, but when we get right down to it, this facility is not changing. It's still the facility we had ten years ago when we did the first bond."
Commissioner Mary Murphy said she believes it is the programs that drive facilities, not the facilities that run the programs. Hospital programs are services provided to the community that range from general surgery to orthopedics or gynecology. Each program has the opportunity to bring in revenue for the hospital, so choosing programs that fit the community is important.
"Once you figure out the programming, then you can address facilities," Murphy said, adding that the community should have an opportunity to provide input on what kinds of services the hospital will offer in the future.
The commissioners currently have the following programs in mind for future hospital operations:
- General Medicine and Surgery
- Orthopedics
- Gastroenterology
- Oncology
- OB/Delivery
- Cardiac Surgery
- Neurosciences
- Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology
- Rehabilitation
- Urology
- Gynecology
In order to move forward with presenting the community with any sort of option, Murphy said she would like to see more data and information about the costs for each recommendation and its programs.
"What I think the community would want to know is what is the financial burden for those options? Even though it is not recommended, what is the financial burden for the third option?" Murphy said. "Then we can talk about what is feasible. When talking about taking on non-voted debt, I think the critical questions are still not answered. Forgive me but I'm going to keep asking questions, because that's my job."
Signorelli said Murphy's questions are good questions, but without knowing the size of the facility then the cost remains unknown.
Carona said she felt the commissioners agreed on the concept of a new facility, but not the finances around it.
"The concept seems correct, but we haven't seen the due diligence around how we finance this and demonstrate it as the best alternative," Carona said. "I am not hearing anybody say let's not explore this."
Commissioner Fred Miller said that the third option of doing nothing but keep up with repairs is moving backward as the healthcare industry progresses.
"If we build a new facility, we're looking at 20, 30, even 40 years with that facility," Miller said. "If we remodel this one, we only have 15 or 20 more years before we're back at the same place again."
After hours of discussion, the board of commissioners agreed on what steps need to follow in order to move forward on these issues:
- Conceptually, the board indicated that consolidating and creating a campus at Apple Blossom is the preferred option. Before an official recommendation, additional data is needed that includes evaluating the following three options: 1) Moving to Apple Blossom either in phases with the clinic and then the hospital or all together, 2) Staying at the current site, remodeling, and applying the same programs, 3) Do nothing except keep up with minimum code requirements in each facility.
- Simultaneously, the board and external resources will develop a capital cost for each of those options, along with a revenue and expense sheet. This step will answer questions like the cost for each option, how to pay for it, the financial position of the hospital, and the values that come out of each scenario.
"Concurrent with these steps there will be community forums about this process, the opportunity to describe the programs in the future, and the kinds of services you will offer and why," Carona said. "Give the community the opportunity to talk about values in programs and explain the process of the decision-making that we're going through. This is one step of many steps, not the end of the road but the beginning."
The commissioners agreed that in order to move forward, being transparent with the options and their costs with the community would help build trust that seems to have disappeared over the years.
"I agree that we need to provide this for the community so they can compare costs," said Commissioner Phyllis Gleasman. "The reason the last [vote] went down was there was not enough financial disclosure for the community."
Commissioners and audience members agreed that by making the community feel like they are part of the decision-making process, planning and developing can go a lot further with that support.
"Now you have the opportunity to say, what does the community need?" Amanda Ballou, CEO of Heritage Heights said, using the Senior Living Initiative as an example of how to engage the community on healthcare issues. "Instead of looking at history and how the bonds worked and how the votes went, let that go—that's all history and baggage. Look at what the programs need to be going into the future and what kind of revenue that would generate. That's what a numbers person would do."
Carona said the timeline for the next steps would be to have an analysis by early Fall. The analysis would include the programs the hospital would hope to have, and apply them to the three scenarios that also includes a financial analysis.
LCCH and the Board of Commissioners will publish a de-briefing of the workshop and its outcomes, and will announce the public forums to better engage the community on the decisions and options being presented.
"Today was a big brainstorming session, and we got pretty far with an initial intake of a lot of information," Abel said. "Let's process this and think about the topics from today and continue to talk about this both with the commissioners and the community."

Marseille plan to take advanatge of poorly PSG in Ligue 1's Le Classique
Marseille v PSG, Premier League, October 25, 2009
Marseille 8/11; Draw 11/5; PSG 10/3
France has it's own Le Classique this weekend as the glamour clubs of the south and north, Marseille and PSG, clash at the Stade Veladrome on Sunday night.
Rivalry between the two camps crystalised in the late 80s, with arguably the most famous match taking place on the final day of the 1988/89 Ligue 1 season. Mirroring the epic events over the channel that year which saw Arsenal win the title at Anfield on the final day of season, PSG took on OM with both clubs tied on 70 points at the top of the table.
The winner-takes-all match was on a knife-edge until the closing stages, as Marseille midfielder Franck Sauzee scored a last-gasp 30-yard screamer to give the Southerners the Ligue 1 title. That winning season formed the foundation of a 5-year domination of French football by Marseille, though that ended in disgrace with the Bernard Tapie scandal in the early 1990s.
Violence has also surfaced on several occasions down the years when OM and PSG meet. During a Coupe de France match back in 1995, 146 people and 9 policemen were hospitalised after fighting broke out between the rival supporters, while the start of the 2000 French league season was tainted when an 18-year old Marseille supporter was paralysed for life after being struck by a seat thrown from the Parisians section of the Parc des Princes.
Sunday night's encounter, while still early days in the season, is far away from the drama of 1989. Three points off league leaders Lyon are fifth-placed Marseille, while further back in lowly ninth-spot are PSG, who have disappointingly only picked up three points from their last five matches.
So bad are the Parisians woes that chairman Robin Leproux has been forced this week to voice the deadly vote of confidence for coach Antoine Kombouare, denying that defeat in Le Classique would force the manager's head to roll.
Leproux: "We're not even considering losing at Marseille. We're going there to win. If we don't get the result we're hoping for, however, it will not be a reason to talk about a crisis… [Kombouare] has just arrived, showing real leadership and a true vision. He has everybody's backing at the club."
Talk is cheap though, and with PSG heading down south without the services of injured forwards Mevlut Erding and Guillaume Hoarau, fears are that the club from the capital will find it hard to score. Elder statesmen Ludovic Giuly and Peguy Luyindula will be required to bring their A-game if PSG are to leave the match with any type of result, while the likes of Stephane Sessegnon and Jeremy Clement will be asked to provide support from midfield.
Marseille, who have rebounded from a slow start to the new campaign, received a timely boost ahead of the match when they beat FC Zurich 1-0 on Wednesday in the Champions League courtesy of Gabriel Heinze's second half winner.
Unlike the visitors who have scored four goals in their last six outings (OM are 6/5 to win to nil), netting goals has come easily for Didier Deschamps' men, with captain Mamadou Niang having already bagged six goals in nine appearances this term. Brandao (three in eight) will likely be used as the main centre-forward for OM, while other attacking options are aplenty with the likes of Bakary Kone and Fernando Morientes available.
Further back OM have a multitude of talent to pick from in midfield, as Lucho Gonzalez, Hatem Ben Arfa, Benoit Cheyrou and Stephane Mbia all battle for starting places.
101gg predicts: Marseille 3 – PSG 0 (14/1)
Marseille 8/11; Draw 11/5; PSG 10/3

When Ellie and her friends go camping, they have no idea they're leaving their old lives behind forever. Despite a less-than-tragic food shortage and a secret crush or two, everything goes as planned. But a week later, they return home to find their houses empty and their pets starving. Something has gone wrong--horribly wrong. Before long, they realize the country has been invaded, and the entire town has been captured--including their families and all their friends. Ellie and the other survivors face an impossible decision: They can flee for the mountains or surrender. Or they can fight.

South Africa's senior women's national team has made similar strides on the continent moving into fourth position, one place above the 2012 African Women's Championship winners, Equatorial Guinea.
Nigeria retains their position as the number one team on the continent followed by Cameroon and Ghana in second and third place respectively.
Banyana Banyana head coach, Joseph Mkhonza said he was excited about the recent developments. "I am very happy, as this is good news for me and the whole country," said Mkhonza. "We want to see ourselves amongst the top 10 in the world, and be consistently in the top three in Africa."
"I thought we did well in the Cyprus Women's Cup despite finishing in 11th place. We must continue building on what we learnt during the tournament. We will continue to introduce new players to the squad as a means of having more players and creating healthy competition."
Mkhonza, South Africa's 2012 Coach of the Year, applauded the controlling soccer body, Safa, and sponsors SASOL, for giving women's soccer great exposure, raising the profile of women's football.
The next Fifa Women's World Rankings will be released on Friday, 21 June 2013.

Wukong Build Guide by xxScarecrow08xx
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Wukong Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Wukong can be a very versatile champion. He can be an awesome AD nuke, or a tricky off tank. Some of you have heard that Wukong sucks he isn't good don't get him. Well I disagree entirely. When I first bought Wu I knew what I was doing I did some research and found that Wu relies heavily on basic attacks. Wu also is best in team fights because he isn't a very good 1v1 champ. He can, however, 1v1 a Twitch or someone else squishy like that. To ever succeed with Wu you need quite a bit of attack speed and defensive items, but you can learn more about my build below along with some tips.
Pros and Cons of Wukong
- Wukong is a very strong champion
- He is able to catch up to most champions
- He easily tricks other champions
- Can get in and out of battle
- Looks sweet :)
- Squishy if not built right
- Targeted quite often
- Needs assistance to fight most of the time
If you think you can kick butt with attack masteries I shame you, because then Wukong would be way to squishy and underfed to do anything. With Utility for an AD/OT champ what on earth are you thinking. This is why I build defense for my masteries, it allows me to take a couple hits as well as stay in the lane longer to gain experience and get more gold. With the runes that I use it is also easy to deal damage too.
For my runes I go armor pen marks which allows me to damage tanks better than I normally would be able to. For seals I take attack speed which helps a lot early game doing more damage to opponents and turrets. Glyphs are magic resist, with the magic resist I can penetrate a magic dependable champion's armor and not be affected by there abilities as much as others, which is where the armor pen comes in. Last and definitely not least where would we be without them quintessences, I personally almost always use health quints just because of the nice bonus health early game.
Summoner Spells
Flash If you are in trouble you can use this to teleport towards you mouse cursor away from enemy champions
Exhaust Using this on enemy champions slows them and is very nice for ganks and turret diving
Ignite This spell is very useful for finishing off an enemy champion that is getting away on low health
Ghost Upon using this spell you gain more move speed and is normally used to get out of battle
Heal Heal is used most commonly by tanks, and they use it in team fights when there team is losing health fast
Smite This summoner spell is used to jungle, jungleing is when a champion goes into the jungle to level instead of laning, it helps to kill the monsters in the jungle faster than you normally would
Clairvoyance This spell reveals a spot anywhere on the map and you can see champions around that spot even if they are in a bush
Clarity I mainly see support champions use this spell because it returns mana to the caster and allies around him/her
Fortify I rarely ever see this being used because I find it a very pointless spell, what it does is shield any turret for a short while so that it is invulnerable to any attacks
Revive This spell is rarely used as well except for the newcomers it is one of the only spell there is, but what it does is upon dieing the caster may cast revive and the caster is instantly resurrected and gain bonus movement speed
Teleport I come across teleport quite a bit and it is very useful to get you pretty much anywhere right away, in my opinion I don't like it because Wukong should be fast enough to get somewhere in a short amount of time anyways
Cleanse Cleanse is nice for slow champions that are even slower with exhaust because cleanse get rid of all slows, fears, stuns, and snares
Rally What?
I choose to build Wukong as a heavy AD off tank going from Doran's Blade into Mercury's Treads. When I get my boots they normally can last me til I get phage which leads me to sheen and finally into Trinity Force. From there it's FoN to Thornmail. Depending on the opponent team I choose to either get Atma's Impaler or Frozen Mallet. If the opponent team relies on basic attacks then i would get Atma's if not I normally go with Frozen Mallet. For my last item I'll get Bloodthirster for the damage and the lifesteal helps too.
Some helpful hints I found while playing Wukong are that early game his health regen is faster than most champs I've played in the past. By using this to my advantage I am able to harass early game will Nimbus Strike and Crushing Blow. Upon reaching level Four I am able to turret dive an enemy champion will 300 or less health. However if the enemy's partner is trying to help Nimbus Strike in Crushing Blow for kill and decoy once out of range of the turret. When using Decoy keep going down the opponents land and decoy into the jungle.
Team Fight Tips and Tricks
During a team fight I try to single out the weakest champion or the champion with the lowest amount of health to dash in and deal damage to. The combo I use to deal the most damage is basic attack, Nimbus Strike,basic attack, Crushing Blow, and then Cyclone Wukong's Ultimate. The reason for this combo is because Nimbus Strike resets the basic attack timer and using Crushing Blow after Nimbus Strike does more damage than by itself. I use my Ult to do damage and also to prevent the opposing team to dash in and kill me because if they try they get knocked airborne. If i feel threatened I will throw a Decoy and walk back to my nearest turret or to the nearest bush.

Setting: Right after the smell of smoke took over my basement because of the dryer.
Me: Mitch, I need you to reach your hand into the dryer vent, it's that hole in the wall right there, and get the lint out.
Mitchell: I'm not putting my hand in there.
Me: Mitch...It's what men do. Now go get the lint.
Mitchell bravely puts his hand in about 4 inches.
Me: You have to reach all the way in to the end.
Mitchell: *sigh*
After a few seconds...
Mitchell: Here. *hands me some lint*
Me: Great! Go see if there is more.
Mitchell: There isn't any more. I got it all.
Me: Go check one more time.
Mitchell reaches in again....
Mitchell: Here's some more. *hands me more lint*
Me: Excellent! Check again.
Mitchell: Mom...I got it all.
Me: Go check again.
Mitchell: Mom! I got it all!!
Me: Just go make sure.
Mitchell: sighing with annoyance as he reaches in.
Mitchell: Here. That's it. It's all gone. *hands me more lint*
Me: Great! Check again.
Mitchell: MOM!! I got it ALL.
Me: You said that 3 times already and you found more. Check again.
Mitchell: Mom, I am serious. I got it all.
Me: Okay...Go get Reagan. I want him to check it for me.
Mitchell muttering to himself as he walks upstairs: Why doesn't she ever believe me....
Hmmm...I wonder why?? ;o)

Someone in the student health department at Shippensburg University must really enjoy outraged emails from Catholics.
Shippensburg will now be offering Plan B in a vending machine on campus. Anyone with a student ID and $25 will have access to the emergency contraceptive without having to go through a pharmacist. Federal law grants availability of the pill to anyone over seventeen; Shippensburg staff checked student records and found that all enrolled students were over seventeen, and therefore they don't need to check ID for the vending machine. The pill will only be available in one vending machine on campus, inside the health center. The vending machine also offers cough drops, condoms, Mucinex, and pregnancy tests. So basically, however rough your night was, just make sure you've stocked up on Gatorade before you hit the health-center vending machine, and you're golden. Hopefully the machine is user-friendly: unlike a normal vending machine, an incorrectly pressed button could be disastrous. "Cough drops? I needed Plan B. Oh, well." It would be almost as disappointing as getting pretzel M&Ms when you wanted peanut.
The Associated Press quotes Shippensburg senior Matthew Kanzler, "It's a way for students to get the help or care they need." Shippensburg is relatively isolated from the nearest urban centers, so easy access to emergency birth control is important; going to a local pharmacy isn't always an option.
Plan B is effective when taken within seventy-two hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. When it's taken correctly, about seven out of eight women who would have gotten pregnant, do not get pregnant, says Teva Women's Health.
The strongly student-supported decision is sure to create controversy outside of the university. Hopefully other universities will take Shippensburg's lead, and offer such easy access to women's health solutions. How long it'll be before this happens, though, remains to be seen.

Fantastic Tevez ends Blues' run
Man City 1 Chelsea 0
Roberto Mancini's belief that Carlos Tevez can be his Diego Maradona looks a little less fanciful after the Manchester City captain's goal destroyed Chelsea's hitherto perfect start to the Premier League season.
Tevez's impressively opportunistic second-half strike secured a victory of the chillingly efficient rather than thrill-a-minute variety. If it still might not be quite sufficient to convince neutrals of City's ability to challenge for top spot, those who suspected Carlo Ancelotti's title defence could turn into a procession may want to revise such opinions.
Afterwards Mancini was still tipping Chelsea to finish ahead of everyone else but could not disguise his delight at closing the gap on a compatriot.
Ancelotti regarded his players' collective stumble as a bad afternoon at the office. "We didn't play well and suffered in midfield, we were not able to play our football," he said. "I'm disappointed. We were not at our best, it wasn't good. But you can't judge our team on one defeat."
With Chelsea's midfield creativity foundering on the rocks of a home engine room comprising three holding players, attacking service was sporadic and an uninterested-looking Didier Drogba disappointed hugely.
Even so Ancelotti's decision to withdraw Drogba in the second half against opponents who beat Chelsea twice last season proved controversial.
"This is not a very good place for us and I wanted more speed up front," he shrugged. "But Manchester City are very good, there's a possibility they can run us close in the title race."
If so, hopefully in slightly more dashing fashion than this reminder that, while wealth can guarantee many things, excitement is not always among them. Pushed nose-to-nose, two of the world's richest, most expensively stocked sides produced a thoroughly anticlimactic first half.
Admirers of the defensive arts may have relished John Terry's tremendous block on Tevez when City's Argentina international slid in to connect with James Milner's low left-wing cross and Dedryck Boyata's brilliant tackle to deny Nicolas Anelka as the Chelsea striker shaped to shoot, but the goalkeepers were woefully underworked.
The nearest thing to an early goal arrived when Mancini's rearguard lost concentration at a corner. It led to City's Pablo Zabaleta, filling in at left-back, appearing mightily relieved to see his attempted headed clearance rebound off a post and fall kindly for Joe Hart.
Although Anelka gave Kolo Toure a reasonable workout, attacking improvisation remained elusive. While Chelsea badly missed the injured Frank Lampard's late dashes into the box, Mancini's deployment of three orthodox holding midfielders did not exactly promote dynamism.
Mark Hughes' willingness to embrace attacking risk may have contributed to his Eastlands downfall but, behind the optimism generated by yesterday's win, there is a real fear that his successor's innate, Italianate, conservatism could eventually take City backwards.
Yesterday Mancini's safety-first, counter-attacking tactics proved fruitful but the real test will come against less illustrious opponents when attacking gambles will be required to dismantle packed defences.
In mitigation, a lengthy injury list combined with the need for new faces to bed in must be factored into the equation but playing on the counterattack at home with a formation that seems more 4-5-1 than 4-3-3 can be a bit of a thrill killer.
Adam Johnson's penchant for what Mancini perceives as cheap thrills -- the England winger raised managerial eyebrows when he paid several thousand pounds for a charity auction date with Katie Price -- was perhaps one reason why he began on the bench, having been replaced by David Silva.
The Spaniard started by once again suggesting that his transition to English football will be of the slow-burn variety but, after spending the best part of an hour being unceremoniously bundled off the ball Silva finally exacted revenge.
It came in the form of a highly intelligent decoy run which confounded Ancelotti's defence while permitting Tevez, who took possession in the centre circle, to accelerate towards goal. Finally, Tevez pulled right before unleashing a shot which flew through Ashley Cole's legs and reached the bottom corner via the inside of a post.
If that was an example of shocking defending it also proved a case of dead-eyed finishing from Tevez. He now has 25 goals in his last 29 league appearances. Small wonder Mancini trusts his captain can emulate Maradona's feats in the 1980s at Napoli where the Argentinian inspired unprecedented glory.
"Carlos is a fantastic player not just because he scored the goal but because he fights for the ball every time," said City's manager. "Even against bigger players."
Put Tevez in Drogba's body and you might just have the world's most formidable striker.

I don't usually read the forums these days or play many games in MAME, but I'm still quite happy to be hosting the forums for MARP. Maybe one of these days I'll have the time to try to do something about the spam on here, it really bugs me.

One of the coolest things about friendship is being able to admire the people that surround you. Mike and I became fast friends while I was living in Michigan. We bonded by our mutual love of movies and computer programming. He is now living the "dream" by being the owner of the software firm Gaucho Software developing apps for Macs and iPhones. Mike and his wife Katrina have become one of my closest friends as an adult, and our love for good restaurants and interesting conversation have made their visits to Kansas City as much of a vacation for me as it has been for them. When I heard that through the Mount Pleasant Rotary Club Mike was going to spend a month in Thailand I could not wait to hear about the experience and see the pictures. The more I heard and read about the trip, the more I wanted to interview him to share some of what he learned while being in such a different culture. Some of what he found out while in this trip might truly surprise you.
Logtar:Had Thailand been in your radar at all before the opportunity to do a cultural exchange there?
Mike: Not really. Of course I had heard of the country, but I didn't know much about its people or their culture.
L: Had you ever thought about visiting places for the cultural experience rather than just a relaxing vacation? if so what was your top pick?
M: Whenever my wife and I go on vacations, we always try to learn about the culture of the place we are visiting. We've traveled to different countries in the Caribbean, for example, and instead of hanging out on the beach all day, we will usually try to do things the locals would do. Things like go to plays, or attend fairs or festivals in a park, etc. If I had to visit a country just to learn more about the culture, Ireland and Poland would probably be my top picks, as those are the countries where my family is from.
L: How many different cities did you get to visit while in Thailand?

Stock #116-MWK
Engine: 327 CID V8
Transmission: 3-Speed Automatic
Mileage: 11124 ( undocumented )
Body Style: Coupe
Exterior Color: Purple
Interior Color: White
This 1934 Ford Model A has a great mix of classic styling and modern amenities giving the best of both worlds to the driver. The fiberglass body of this car still has the classic Ford lines that we all have come to know and love in these coupes. As you take a closer look though, you notice changes throughout that really help pull the overall look of the car together including the shaved door handles, custom side mirrors, upgraded headlights, and the aftermarket wheels and flame paint job really set it off.
The flame design continues into the interior with custom embroidered door panels that were masterfully crafted. As you slide in and take hold of the wood grain steering wheel, you notice you can adjust it to your liking using the tilt feature on the column. The gauges in the dash ahead are clean and easy to read as you are cruising with ease at freeway speeds. Pushing you along is a powerful 327 CID V8 transferred through an automatic transmission and ultimately ending up at the Ford 9" rear end. With just over 11,000 miles on this build, it has plenty of life left in it and plenty more adventures to go on. Making those trips easier is a list of creature comforts that will make any cruise enjoyable including, Air conditioning, power brakes, power steering, power locks, power windows, and an AM/FM radio with a CD player and is Bluetooth capable.
The matching trailer on the back is not only a great addition for showing but adds even more practicality by giving you more storage space that would be much more limited without it.

Emerson Brown, NPR
EXCERPTS BELOW; AUDIO TO BE AVAILABLE SATURDAY AT 10AM AT NPR.org
Though the Ricketts family currently has no plans to shake up management, in the interview with Simon the new chairman shares many ideas about how to improve the franchise, including developing property adjacent to Wrigley Field, how family ownership benefits fans and using the Boston Red Sox as a model for both rehabbing a landmark vintage ballpark and turning a losing club into a winner. Excerpts from the interview follow:
On why he wants Piniella to stay on as manager, Ricketts says: "We think Lou is one of the best managers in baseball. He has an option to return next year, and from what I understand, I think he is planning to."
Asked about the future of Wrigley Field, he states: "First of all, we want this to be the best franchise in baseball, and you cant be a world-class franchise and have third-class facilities. He goes on to say that there is land that is just adjacent to the stadium, along Clark Street, that the team owns and we intend to develop that into a part of the stadium, that will give fans more options on game day, but as importantly free up space inside of the stadium to build in some of the clubhouse functionality that other teams enjoy."
Even if park improvements cause higher ticket prices, Ricketts says one thing fans "should keep in mind is that with family ownership now, we intend to reinvest all the profits that we can get on the team and put that back into preserving Wrigley Field and to putting a better team on the field. So it's not like it's going away to some kind of corporation and never will be seen again."
On how he wants to build the team, Ricketts says: "Undoubtedly the way to build the long-term winner is through player development. You got to draft the right people and you got to have scouts and coaches that are coordinated and working together to turn the right players into real producers at the major league level. Free agency, I think, is something you look at when you got a hole to fill or when you haven't been able to produce a player from your own system. The real key for consistent performance and trying to win the division every single year is developing our own players."
Asked whether any other sports franchise is a model for the Cubs, he responds: "I think obviously what they've done with Fenway is a good thing for us to look at in terms of how to improve the stadium. Because we really do want to preserve and keep improving the special experience that Wrigley Field is. On the field we also wouldn't mind copying the Red Sox. I think it's time for the team to push forward and to win a World Series."
Asked if he'd welcome Steven Bartman back to Wrigley Field, Ricketts says: "I don't have any issue with him. And on top of that, I think one message that we have out for every fan is let bygones be bygones. What's happened in the past is behind us. There is no curse. There is no Billy Goat, there is none of that stuff. Let's move on. We're one of the best teams in baseball. We will be the best team in baseball going forward. And we just have to look forward, not backward."

Commandement de la Légion Etrangère, COMLE. The COMLE includes the office of the Commander of the Foreign Legion (Le général commandant la Légion étrangère, with a rank of general) and the General staff of the Foreign Legion. The Commander exercises supervision over the Legion. He reports directly to the Chief of Staff of the French Army and advises him on Foreign Legion matters.
The COMLE was established on March 2, 1931, under the title of Foreign Legion Inspection (Inspection de la Légion Etrangère, ILE). After several dissolutions and changes of its title, the general staff of the Legion became the COMLE in 1984. It is based at Quartier Viénot of Aubagne (southern France, close to Marseille), the home to the 1st Foreign Regiment (1er RE).
Today, three units of the Foreign Legion directly report to the COMLE: 1st Foreign Regiment (a unit carrying out administrative tasks), 4e RE (a training unit) and GRLE (a recruiting unit). The other units report to the Staff of their brigades (or forces) they are assigned to.
Current structure of the Foreign Legion Command
The COMLE is devided (in 2017) into 4 departments (divisions) and consists of about 50 personnel.
The Foreign Legion Command is responsible for the total performance of the Legion. This includes the administration, discipline, internal traditions, training, morale, solidarity, communication and public relations, recruitment and administrative & security tasks regarding military personnel serving as foreigners.
- Human Resources Division (Division des Ressources Humaines, DRHLE)
- Security & Protection Division (Division Sécurité et Protection, DSPLE)
- Influence & Heritage Division (Division Rayonnement et Patrimoine, DRPLE)
- Mutual Aid & Solidarity Division (Division Entraide et Solidarité, DESLE)
Three of these Divisions (DSPLE, DRPLE, DESLE) are administrated by personnel of the Foreign Legion Services Company (CSLE) of the 1er RE.
Foreign Legion Council (Conseil de la Légion Etrangère, CLE), established in 2010, serves as an advisory board to the COMLE.
Foreign Legion Human Resources Division – DRHLE
– DRHLE is responsible for:
– keeping files of legionnaires serving as foreigners (à Titre Etranger, TE)
– keeping files of non-naturalized legionnaires having left the Legion
– DRHLE includes two bureaus to help legionnaires to return to civilian life:
- Foreign Legion Retraining Assistance Bureau (Bureau d'Aide à la Reconversion de la Légion Etrangère, BARLE)
- Foreign Legion Veterans Bureau (Bureau des Anciens de la Légion Etrangère, BALE)
– DRHLE is administrated by the CAPLE, 1er RE personnel
Foreign Legion Security & Protection Division – DSPLE
– an institution nicknamed Gestapo by legionnaires since the 1940s
– DSPLE is responsible for:
– participating on candidate selection procedures
– protecting the selected candidates
– protecting serving legionnaires
– protecting ex-legionnaires having returned to civilian life (it doesn't apply to deserters)
– the protection means that the protected person will not be handed over to the police or to officials of the country he was a citizen of before joining the Legion, for crimes he mentioned as the reason for hiding himself in the Legion
– the protected person is protected by DSPLE in all places around the world, except for the country he was a citizen of before joining the Legion
– DSPLE is administrated by the CSLE, 1er RE personnel
Foreign Legion Influence & Heritage Division – DRPLE
– DRPLE is responsible for:
– ensuring the public relations
– ensuring the promotion of the Legion
– managing the spread of information to the public
– coordinating all actions of communication within the Legion

- Communication Bureau
- it is responsible for media communication
- Production Bureau
- it publishes the Kepi Blanc magazine
- it operates the official website of the Legion
- Heritage Bureau
- it operates e.g. the Foreign Legion Museum
– DRPLE is administrated by the CSLE, 1er RE personnel
Foreign Legion Mutual Aid & Solidarity Division – DESLE
– DESLE is responsible for:
– providing social actions in support of legionnaires and veterans (serving as foreigners) and their families
– DESLE runs Foreign Legion Mutual Aid Foyer (Foyer d'Entraide de la Légion Etrangère, FELE)
– FELE is a public institution assigned to the Ministry of Defense
– however, it don't receive any financial aid from the state
– the Foreign Legion Commander is the head of FELE
– FELE provides material and financial aid for wounded legionnaires and veterans
– the institution manages fund-raising campaigns (e.g. through the KB magazine)
– it also provides, besides other things, Foreign Legion cemeteries maintenance

Examining the USA Patriot Act, Domestic Spying
Farai Chideya talks about the USA Patriot Act and recent reports President Bush authorized wiretaps on domestic phone conversations with David Cole, professor at Georgetown University Law Center and legal affairs correspondent for The Nation magazine.
FARAI CHIDEYA, host:
David Cole is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and legal affairs correspondent for The Nation magazine. He's with us from Washington, DC.
David, good to have you on.
Professor DAVID COLE (Georgetown University Law Center): ...for having me.
CHIDEYA: So let's talk about the NSA. President Bush has acknowledged that he authorized the US agency to eavesdrop on people in America. He said he did this to protect the public against terrorism. Does this stand up?
Prof. COLE: I think it clearly does not stand up. There is a law on the books that gives the president the authority to conduct wiretaps in the name of fighting terrorism. It's called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It expressly addresses wiretaps during wartime and gives the president the authority to do warrantless wiretaps, but only for the first 15 days of the declared war. It then makes it a crime for the president or anyone else to conduct a wiretap without other statutory authority. And here the president simply ignored what Congress had said and went ahead and conducted wiretaps without any congressional authority and without any judicial determination of probable cause.
CHIDEYA: What kind of sanctions are there for something like this, which seems to be extra legal? When you're talking about the government breaking its own provisions, what recourse do citizens have?
Prof. COLE: Well, that's a good question. I mean, Congress made it a crime, and they said it's subject to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. But, of course, that would require the attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, to prosecute the president and that's not very likely to happen. I think the recourse is very likely to be political. There ought to be, and I think will be, an intensive investigation of this claim, and ultimately I think he has to be held accountable by Congress and by the people.
CHIDEYA: What about the rejection by the Senate of the extension of the Patriot Act? What do you believe is the impact of the NSA on that and more importantly what will the Senate's position do to the Patriot Act if they continue to hold this stance?
Prof. COLE: Right. Well, I think the NSA spying scandal had a great deal to do with the Senate's rejection. I mean, here we are fighting about the details of the Patriot Act, which actually sets forth and expands the power of the president under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to get wiretaps, and then we learn on the morning that the vote is going to take place that the president has simply been ignoring all the language that we've been fighting about and going forward without any authority whatsoever. And so this from an administration that has for years been saying, `Trust us. Give us broad powers and trust us. We don't have any interest in abusing them. We won't abuse them. Trust us.' Well, I think what the NSA story shows is you can't trust the government, and so what the Senate is now saying is we need to make sure that we have clear restrictions and checks and balances in the Patriot Act before we extend it.
CHIDEYA: The president has said that he would veto just a three-month extension. Do you think that he'll be forced to accept that compromise?
Prof. COLE: Yeah, he said he would veto John McCain's amendment banning cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment as well, and he was forced to back down on it. You know, I think what makes sense at this point is if they can't work out a compromise in the next day or two, which I think is unlikely, on the substance of the provision, which makes sense is to extend it for a month or three months so that when we come back in January, we can have a sensible discussion about what kinds of checks are needed and that discussion, you know, will have the benefit of knowing more about the kinds of abuses that the administration has undertaken in our name.
CHIDEYA: David Cole is professor at Georgetown University Law Center and legal affairs correspondent for The Nation magazine.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Prof. COLE: Thanks for having me.

Listening to Sonny Clark's "Cool Struttin'" not long ago, I asked my musician friend how to know if Jackie McClean's solo (or any saxophone solo) was good or not. He drew a slow breath—deciding how far back toward the basics of theory he'd have to meet me?—and said, "Well, do you like it?" He didn't elaborate. When I tried to answer his question, I realized I couldn't. Yes, I'd wanted to like jazz, wanted to be "into it" and to know how to talk about it even. But for some reason I'd passed over that simplest, most obvious and essential approach: I hadn't been listening, not really. What I mean is, I had put the cart before the horse, wanting to know what I should like without considering what I did like.
My dawning enlightenment not precluding deep embarrassment, I nodded at my friend, nodding because yes of course I liked the solo—I'd have to be pretty dumb not to like Jackie McClean, wouldn't I?—and because I was now resolved to go back through the albums I'd been collecting (Coltrane, Miles, Mingus, Monk) and really listen to what the musicians were playing.
Still, though this helped wake up my ear, I found that just asking the question "Do I like it?" wasn't going to get me through it all, whether I was listening to big band, bebop, or free jazz. We don't "like" a piece of music (or art, or writing) on its merits alone, in a kind of vacuum; in fact how well we respond to a given piece may have as much to do with how well we manage to situate it in the context—theoretical, historical, even biographical knowledge; tastes shaped fairly and unfairly; etc.—that we ourselves bring to it. (For example after reading an essay on Marcel Duchamp last month, I was excited to have the chance this week to visit the MoMA and see his In Advance of a Broken Arm, a piece I might have dismissed when I knew nothing about Dadaism; actually a consideration of Duchamp's "readymades" would suggest a lot about the question of context.) Easy for my friend, a saxophonist himself, to ask, "Do you like it?" First we need ways of listening, ways of liking.
Here's one: "headroom." In his instructional DVD The Master Drummer, John Riley introduces the concept, which he's borrowed "from the automotive world." "Headroom refers to excess capacity," he says. "So if you have a car that's capable of a maximum speed of 60 miles an hour, when you're going 60 miles an hour, that car is doing everything its capable of, and there is no excess capacity. A car capable of going 200 miles an hour just breezes along at 60 because it has all that headroom from 61 to 200 miles an hour in reserve." Really Riley is talking technique—how mastering "200 mph" worth of chops, more than you'd ever realistically need, makes your typical playing "almost physically effortless." But there's an aesthetic angle as well: attaining this technical facility leaves you with more "brainpower" so that you can focus on "supporting the other musicians," i.e., play more "musically." Because "this isn't music," he explains. "This is a process to gain control of your limbs. If you hear music, you'll have the tools to execute it."
Sticking with the drums for now, I've curated a few examples to help illustrate what "headroom" sounds like in practice and how listening through this lens can help us like (or dislike) what a jazz musician is doing.
1) "The Kicker" (4:08-4:50), from Song for My Father (1965) by The Horace Silver Quintet (personnel: Roger Humphries, drums; Horace Silver, piano; Carmell Jones, trumpet; Joe Henderson, tenor sax; Teddy Smith, bass)
One way to think about headroom in drumming is to think about space and how it's filled—the more space that's being filled, the busier the playing is, the closer the drummer probably is to reaching their full capacity. In this thundering solo, Roger Humphries doesn't leave much headroom; I don't think he could fit much more into the spaces between the horn hits that punctuate the solo. Does this mean that the solo is less musical than it could be, that we should like it less than others? That's for you to decide, but for me, it's actually the sheer energy of Humphries's playing here that makes it work. Sure it's showy, but he's giving us all he's got, and he sounds glad to do it. (It is a drum solo, after all.) Consider the track's placement on the album as a whole, too—it's the penultimate number, uptempo and climactic ("The Kicker"). And unlike Roy Haynes or Max Roach in the following examples, the fact that Humphries isn't the leader of this group means that he doesn't get a solo feature in every piece, so when he does, he'd better make it count.
2) "Snap Crackle" (2:43-3:31), from Out of the Afternoon (1962) by The Roy Haynes Quartet (personnel: Roy Haynes, drums; Roland Kirk, saxes and flute; Tommy Flanagan, piano; Henry Grimes, bass)
Not only is Roy Haynes the leader of his own group in this example, the track itself is titled after Haynes's nickname, "Snap Crackle." Haynes here is no quieter, really, than Humphries in "The Kicker"—he certainly loves to whale on his drums—but you'll hear right away that he embraces space in a different way, playing with quite a bit of headroom. His emphasis on short bursts and single notes textures the solo and makes it melodic—listen for the way he uses the varying pitches of his drums to create a melody within the solo around 3:15. Interesting to note, too, how Grimes keeps steady time on the bass throughout, as he would during a horn or piano solo; this provides Haynes something of a musical scaffold to help structure his silences, his melodies. It's clear from a few of the busier phrases in the solo that Haynes can play as much as he wants, and he does, in other numbers on the album. (For a similar, better known example, try Joe Morello's solo in "Take Five," with the Dave Brubeck Quartet.)
3) "Stompin' at the Savoy" (4:00-5:30), from Brown and Roach Incorporated (1955) by Clifford Brown and Max Roach (personnel: Max Roach, drums; Clifford Brown, trumpet; Harold Land, tenor sax; Richie Powell, piano; George Morrow, bass)
In "The Kicker," Roger Humphries thrills us by playing near the limits of his capacity; in "Snap Crackle," Roy Haynes leaves himself a lot of headroom so he can work with space and melody. In "Stompin' at the Savoy," Max Roach manages to start his solo at "60 mph" and accelerate over its course to "200"—he rises to fill the headroom his drumming engine has "in reserve." Part of the way he does this is by dividing the solo into two halves. During the first half (4:00-4:43), he continues keeping time with one hand on the ride cymbal—this produces the same supportive "horn solo" effect that the bass line does in "Snap Crackle"—while playing single notes around the drum kit with his other hand and his foot on the bass drum. Roach's interest in the drum set's melodic potential had him penning entire jazz compositions for the instrument, and in "Stompin' at the Savoy" we can hear examples of these kinds of phrases. At 4:43, he departs from the cymbal pattern and applies both hands to the drums, using up more and more of his "excess capacity," coming back down at the very end to meet the rest of the band for the final chorus. Roach's flexibility here, his simultaneous sensitivity to melody and power of percussive fury make this one of the most satisfying drum solos I've ever heard.
Even though my dreams of being a jazz musician have snapped and crackled, so to speak, I've found I can still use headroom to think about other arts, other pursuits—for example, writing—the same way Riley looked to "the automotive world" to think about drumming. Check out this passage from "Escape from Spiderhead" to see how George Saunders—the Max Roach of writers?—ingeniously plays with headroom as it applies to prose style:
"He added some Verbaluce™ to the drip, and soon I was feeling the same things but saying them better. The garden still looked nice. It was like the bushes were so tight-seeming and the sun made everything stand out? It was like any moment you expected some Victorians to wander in with their cups of tea. It was as if the garden had become a sort of embodiment of the domestic dreams forever intrinsic to human consciousness. It was as if I could suddenly discern, in this contemporary vignette, the ancient corollary through which Plato and some of his contemporaries might have strolled; to wit, I was sensing the eternal in the ephemeral."
To wit!

Democratic candidate takes aim again at Hayes after losing by 329 votes in 2006
Two years ago, Larry Kissell was narrowly defeated by Congressman Robin Hayes, coming only 329 votes short on election day. This year, Kissell is hoping grassroots campaigning and handshakes will send him to Washington.
Last week Kissell brought his campaign to Raeford, knocking on doors and meeting the citizens he hopes will cast ballots in his favor. In 2006 Kissell won heavily in democratic Hoke County.
"One of the things we were very successful about in 2006 we are still doing in 2008 is going home to home and knocking on doors," Kissell said during his visit to Raeford last week. "If you really want to know what's going on you meet with people."
Kissell has visited nearly every county in the eighth district and knocked on many doors. Each night he visits 40 to 50 people and asks them to vote for him. He also asks about issues they are facing.
"Gas prices that's what's killing people," Kissell said. "And jobs unemployment went up again in North Carolina.
"Our people are hurting," he said. "They don't cry, they don't mind, but that's what's on their minds."
According to Kissell, nearly 50,000 people draw unemployment in the 8th district, which stretches from here to Congressman Hayes' home in Concord.
Kissell said many he talked to across the area worry about keeping their jobs and being able to afford increasing gas prices. Kissell said the best way to lower oil prices is competition. He says oil companies do not use current leased land to drill but want more.
"I'm for drilling. We have got 68 million acres of leased land and 33 million leased is offshore," he said. "Drill here drill now keep the product in the United States. We are Americans, we solve our problems, we don't pass them on to the next generation," he said. "We have got to create competition."
Kissell also advocates finding alternative forms of energy. Hayes is currently sponsoring a bill in the House that combines drilling and alternative energy known as 'all of the above.' Kissell is critical that an energy plan wasn't adopted years ago, before gas prices reached record highs.
Recent polls place Hayes, who has been in office since 1999, five points ahead of Kissell, making this year's race as tight as the last.
Hayes has also visited the county numerous times over the past few months, giving several speeches on his energy and economic policies.
Both candidates have used negative campaigning and taken jabs at each other in the media.
Kissell is a social studies teacher at East Montgomery High School in Biscoe and is a former textile worker. Though he is from the other side of the district, Kissell has plenty of ties to Hoke County.
"Raz Autry was my high school principal," he said. "I've been coming to Hoke County for many years. I'm very comfortable down here I've met a lot of good people."
Kissell said his idea is to try to unify the district. Hoke County faces different issues than those in the suburban areas surrounding Charlotte.
"We are going to put a constituency service office at this end of the district," he said. "So that we can serve the people."
Kissell said if elected, he would be able to accomplish more than Hayes, who faces an uphill battle in congress each day as a member of the minority Republican Party.
"Even as a freshman congressman, to be in the majority party will have a lot more influence on what can get done and we are going to maximize what can get done in this region," he said.

Systematic Spatial Planning
Spatial planning is defined as the change of the distribution of activities in space and the change of the links between them by converting forms of land use and property. Systematic spatial planning is the most advanced level in a hierarchy from data and going to information and knowledge, collected on each level of territorial holarchy. Systematization is achieved by data converting into higher forms through statistics, analysis, modeling, simulation, systems analysis and decision support systems. Application of Spatial optimization through systematic planning, focuses on the selection of reserves for optimal space planning. It will expand the use of these techniques through systematic spatial planning for more integrated land management objectives. Systematic planning activities (long-term strategy), to solve problems (short-term projects), development and management requires more research and management. Thus, we can conclude that spatial planning is the science that integrates four concepts: territorial planning (economic component), urban (social component), environmental protection and cultural models. Based on these findings, the main method of spatial planning to review all these concepts integrative method is SketchMatch. This method implies that in a span of one day (minimum) to a maximum of three days, a group of stakeholders, eg citizens, policy makers makers, farmers) meet to analyze, define and find solutions to a problem of spatial planning. Methods of systematic spatial planning have been applied successfully in the frame of project " Cat's bend- Space for the river", developed in partnership with the Dutch Government - Department of Water Management and Planning 2008-2009.

text: BBC4 has started showing vintage episodes of Top of the Pops, which used to be required viewing in TVMole's house (along with Coronation Street, Multicoloured Swapshop, The Krypton Factor, It's a Knockout and The Great Egg Race). However, a recent overheard twitter conversation evoked an erstwhile forgotten memory: getting on the bus from Grandma's to buy Top of the Pops albums in Woolworths. These LPs (Pickwick 1968 – 1985) weren't recordings of the TV show as one might expect, no. They were cover versions, with album covers featuring scantily clad girls in poses that wouldn't have been out of place on Page 3 of The Sun. The cover singers were uncredited but according to Wikipedia Elton John was one of the performers before he became famous.
