Last year the Associated Press reported that Madonna will shell out somewhere between $76 and $92 million to settle her divorce from Guy Ritchie, her husband of eight years. The Lordly (as opposed to merely Princely) sum includes a country home in Ritchie's native England as well as a London pub, where the movie director will no doubt have plenty of willing drinking buddies to help wash away the pain of both his failed marriage and, perhaps more pertinently, his gone-South filmmaking career.
They say major events often happen in threes, and it is significant to note that, just as 2008 wound down, the Madonna moolahthon snuck under the wire as the year's third huge music-accented divorce settlement. Last March, you'll recall, a British court awarded Heather Mills $50 million in her nasty divorce from Paul McCartney. Then in August '08, there was Phil Collins' less nasty but just as costly $50 million settlement from Orianne Cevey--as opposed to Collins' previous marriage, which he famously ended in 1994 via a kiss-off fax to Jill Tavelman, and which cost him another cool $34 million. No "Invisible Touch" there. Of course, Madonna's not the first diva to seriously divest in a divorce. In 2002, following the dissolution of a 13-year relationship that included a "secret" nine-year marriage, Janet Jackson gave dancer/collaborator Rene Elizondo an estimated $15 million in a settlement that included a $120,000 Mercedes and their $8 million beachfront home in Malibu. (Hhmmm...Maybe her infamous 2004 Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction happened because she'd left all her better-fitting clothing in the closet there.) Speaking of malfunctions, serially distressed Nicole Richie's dad Lionel Richie is another music celeb whose divorce went the messy and expensive route. In 2004, the former Commodores vocalist and solo star forked over a decidedly un-"Easy" $20 million to his second wife, the former Randy Alexander, whom he married in 1993 after his long-running affair with her was discovered by first wife Brenda Harvey. Randy's alimony petition claimed a "necessary" expense of $20,000 a year for cosmetic surgery; probably not what Richie envisioned when he wrote "Three Times A Lady." Ex-Beatle McCartney's friendly old competitor Mick Jagger went through his own money jungle divorce in 1999 in his split from second wife Jeri Hall. They'd finally married in 1990, long after the Rolling Stones frontman's affair with her was discovered by his first wife, the former Bianca De Macias (notice a theme here?). Ever the shrewd businessman, Jagger successfully challenged the entire legality of his marriage to Hall, since they'd tied the knot in a traditional Hindi ceremony in Indonesia. Mick got an annulment and Hall, the mother of four of Jagger's seven children, wound up with somewhere between $15 and $25 million; no chump change to be sure, but considering Jagger's then-estimated net worth of $325 million, not exactly financial "Satisfaction," either. Still, the mother of all music-related divorces has to be the oldie-but-goodie settlement between Neil Diamond and second wife Marcia Murphey, a TV production assistant whom the singer-songwriter wed just as his career was about to take off for the stratosphere in the late 1960s. After 25 years together, Murphey sued for divorce in 1994, and came away with half of Diamond's fortune--to the sweet (Caroline) tune of $150,000,000. Lesser men might have walked away gurgling "Love On The Rocks," but not the ever-cheerful Mr. Diamond. As he said later, she was "worth every penny."Holly holy, indeed.

The Cubs and White Sox have played 87 games in the regular season since 1997, with three more to go this year. For the first two years of interleague play, there was just one series per year. In 1997, the games were at then-Comiskey Park; in 1998, at Wrigley Field. Since 1999, there has been one three-game series at each ballpark.
With realignment and likely significant schedule changes coming in 2013, I think it's time to cut these down to one series a year. The powers that be disagree; Bud claims he's "working" to keep two "rivalry" series a year. I say, enough already. At least in Chicago, attendance is declining for these games.
Len Kasper wrote something interesting on this topic:
The latest report has the Cubs and White Sox playing four games in the same week -- two at Wrigley Field and two on the South Side. I would be fine with that or just one three-game series at each site in alternating years.
The two-and-two would be OK, I guess, but I'm fine with the one three-game series at alternating sites idea, too. Six was fine for a while. The novelty has worn off.
Oh, yes. The Cubs are facing the Astros tonight.
Cubs lineup:
DeJesus rf, Campana cf, Castro ss, LaHair 1b, Soriano lf, Stewart 3b, Cardenas 2b, Hill c, Garza p
So much for changing the top of the lineup, as Dale Sveum said he was going to do.
Astros lineup:
Altuve 2b, Lowrie ss, Buck rf, Lee 1b, Bogusevic cf, Johnson 3b, Martinez lf, Castro c, Norris p
Today's Starting Pitchers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Matt Garza's only start against the Astros last year was on September 16 at Wrigley Field. He was within one out of a complete-game, 3-1 win when he allowed a two-run homer to Carlos Lee. (Be honest. You thought I was going to say he threw a baseball into the seats. Right?) The Cubs wound up winning the game in 12 innings. Lee is 4-for-13 with two doubles and two HR off Garza. The rest of the current Astros are 4-for-37 (.108) off him, all singles. So the key to tonight's game for Garza is pretty obvious -- get Carlos Lee out.
Bud Norris has improved each of the last two seasons and is off to a good start this year. One of the keys for him is cutting down on his walks. That shouldn't be an issue with the hacktastic Cubs. He pitched twice against the Cubs in 2011, winning one and losing one, allowing seven runs (four earned) in 11⅓ innings. He gave up four home runs in those two starts, but two of them were hit by Aramis Ramirez, who isn't on the team any more, and one by Geovany Soto, who's on the DL. That leaves Alfonso Soriano as the other, so who knows?
Today's game is on CSN Chicago. Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.

text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 122321 AFDSGF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 621 PM CDT Wed Mar 12 2014 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday Night) Issued at 312 PM CDT WED MAR 12 2014 A dry and blustery day was observed behind the strong cold front that passed through the region last night. Those winds will quickly diminish around sunset before becoming light out of the west and southwest later tonight. This will make low temperatures rather tricky as a period of nearly calm winds is expected. The coolest temperatures will be across the eastern Ozarks where winds will be lightest the longest. We have gone on the low side of guidance with lows in the upper 20s expected east of the Highway 65 corridor. In contrast, lows will be in the lower to middle 30s out towards Interstate 49. Mild and breezy conditions are then on tap from Thursday into Friday as our northwesterly flow aloft flattens out. A weak cold front will then pass through the area later Friday afternoon with all indications suggesting a dry frontal passage. We have gone on the warm side of guidance both days with highs getting into the 60s. One reason for going on the high side of guidance will be a dry low-level air mass in place across the region. This will also introduce fire weather concerns to finish out the work week. Please see the Fire Weather discussion below for more details. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday) Issued at 312 PM CDT WED MAR 12 2014 Temperatures on Saturday will only be a few degrees cooler with most areas still pushing the 60 degree mark for highs. Clouds will be on the increase however as an upper level short wave trough ejects across the Red River Valley region. We are looking at the continued potential for rain Saturday as this wave shears across the area. We could see a rumble of thunder west of Highway 65 if models are correct in bringing in some weak instability. Rain chances will then continue into Saturday night and perhaps Sunday morning as short wave energy then drops southeast through the Corn Belt. Cooler temperatures are also expected for early next week with highs dropping back into the 50s. There are then huge differences in the global models towards the middle of next week. This is to be expected as long wave charts are struggling with the hemispheric regime. As an example, model temperature output for next Wednesday is showing a spread of over 25 degrees in some cases! We felt that the best route to go for now was a model consensus. This results in temperatures near normal with precipitation chances minimal. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday Evening) Issued at 616 PM CDT WED MAR 12 2014 For the KSGF/KJLN/KBBG tafs...vfr conditions are expected. Winds will diminish early in the taf period with a weak ridge of high pressure moving through the area. Southwest winds will gradually increase after the nighttime inversion breaks by 15z-16z with some 20-25kt gusts possible after 18z. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 312 PM CDT WED MAR 12 2014 Elevated to locally significant fire weather conditions are expected for Thursday afternoon with elevated fire weather conditions again expected for Friday afternoon. West-southwest winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts over 25 mph will develop late Thursday morning and will continue into the afternoon. Meanwhile, temperatures warming into the 60s along with a very dry low-level air mass will drop afternoon humidities into the 20 to 30 percent range. Some locations may approach critical fire weather conditions across far southwestern Missouri where winds will be strongest and humidities lowest. Humidities will then be slightly higher for Friday with winds a bit stronger out of the southwest (15 to 25 mph with gusts around 30 mph). We are therefore looking at continued elevated fire weather conditions. One note for Friday afternoon is that a weak cold front will move south across the region. This front will result in winds shifting to the north and becoming light. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.

Local Headstart organizations are facing money troubles, and a couple will be closing.
Headstart is facing a 5.2 percent cut in federal funding as a direct result of the sequester, which will affect more than 1,000 local children.
Bellevue and Bradner Headstart locations will be closing, and the locations in Perrysburg and Rossford will be combined. Many others will have to cut back on their services.
"It's gonna throw a wrench in a lot of people's lives," said Crystal Walker.
She's counted on WSOS Headstart services while raising all six of her children. She now sits on the state board of directors.
"I was very disappointed," Walker said. "Any funding you take away from children is detrimental to the children."
Walker says her own life changed when she was able to finish school, all because child care wasn't an issue.
"It has helped me to achieve many, many goals," she said.
And she isn't the only one.
"This school means a lot to my family," said Brittney Castillo. "They've helped my son talk. He didn't know how to talk, now he won't stop talking.

Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Moisturizer Stick -- 1 oz
This is a hard stick that falls apart and smells just plain nasty! I don't think you could use it unless you melt it? It went in the trash!!!
February 28, 2013
I used Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Stick when I was pregnant 35 years ago! It is still around for a reason...it WORKS!! Around my 5th month of pregnancy the skin around my belly and other places, began to feel taunt. I kept a stick in my bathroom, and tucked one in my purse. Unlike messy creams and lotions this little inexpensive gem is easy to apply. Just push up the 100% cocoa butter solid and smooth on where needed. The cocoa butter melts onto your skin. Smells pleasant, and is very soothing, and moisturizing. I never experienced any stretchmarks!! Over the years I have recommended this wonderful product to many Mommy's To Be!
February 26, 2013
Bad container design!
The product itself is VERY good, melts like butter (and is more easily melted with body temp than the other coco butter product in the yellow tube. That one seems harder, more waxy). So although this is an excellent product, I only gave it 4 stars because they need to redo the design of the container. It's a hassle to push it out and then push it back in again to get the cap on it. Then when you use the product, it makes it even MORE difficult to get the cap on. What they NEED is a design like a lip balm (only bigger), where it has a dial on the bottom and a cap that snaps onto the OUTER rim, NOT the inner rim!!
I finally melted down mine and refilled it into an empty lip balm tube, because I got so fed up with their bad design (the tube plastic even split open, great huh?!). Now it's Sooo much better now and convenient. One tip though: cocoa butter is very "melty" in hot weather, so don't put it in your purse in the summer or on a hot day, unless you want a messy purse.
November 26, 2012
Very deep moisturizer
This has worked great 4 me so far. I'm pregnant & had got a couple stretch marks b4 I got this but haven't got another 1 since using it. It's a very deep moisturizer & last a long time on the skin & the bonus about this product is that it smells like CHOCOLATE ! Yumm
October 11, 2012
It smooth my stretch mark
The edge of my c-section turn white after using it twice one day two weeks, and I fell my skin really youthful after using it.I will continue to use it for my stretch mark and c-section.

Your article really piqued my curiosity. I had to consider some of your unique ideas in order to think about them a bit. I agree in part with your views. Thank you for interesting content seo Miami
LAST WEEK Southwest Airlines drew criticism for bungling a Facebook promotion. The airline tried offering its "fans" deeply discounted fares, yet ended up charging many people multiple times for the same discounted tickets. Alaska Airlines' recent Facebook problems, however, may be even more severe. A post by an Oregon concert promoter complaining about the carrier's treatment of a disabled passenger went viral earlier this month and was seen by thousands of customers and potential customers while Alaska scrambled to come up with a response.
On August 3rd, Cameron Clark posted on Facebook that he had seen Alaska employees refusing to help a passenger with late-stage Parkinson's disease to board a flight. Alaska did not respond until the following day, and when it did, its response only engendered more anger. In a post to its company Facebook page, Alaska claimed that the passenger in question hadn't identified himself as disabled and was "exhibiting signs of inebriation and smelled of alcohol." This may have been true (Mr Clark, the witness who posted about the incident to his Facebook page, later posted that he "smelled nothing" on the disabled man) but reeked of blame-shifting and only enraged commenters and drew more attention to the burgeoning crisis.
On August 6th, Glenn Johnson, the president of Horizon Air, Alaska's short-haul subsidiary, finally posted an appropriate response to Alaska's Facebook page, apologising for the incident and reporting that the airline had offered the disabled passenger free tickets as compensation for his trouble. By then, of course, the episode had turned into a public-relations nightmare, as the story had been picked up by CBS television and the Associated Press, spreading negative publicity about the airline across the country.
Companies in industries like air travel that involve high levels of direct interaction with customers have to take negative social-media attention extremely seriously. In this case, Alaska/Horizon's official response was too slow (a day is an eternity in social media) and took a tone that backfired on the company. Getting the right response up quickly is hard, but in cases like these, it's also necessary.

Conrad Bain dies - 'Diff'rent Strokes' actor was 89
Actor Conrad Bain has died at age 89, his family has announced. Best known for playing Phillip Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes," Bain would have turned 90 on Feb. 4.
TMZ reports that the details surrounding Bain's death are "unclear" and that he spent his last days with his family. His last screen role was in 2011 in the television series "Unforgettable." He played a priest.
"He was an amazing person," Bain's daughter tells TMZ. "He was a lot like Mr. Drummond, but much more interesting in real life. He was an amazing father."
Bain is survived by his twin brother Bonar Bain, three sons and one daughter.

Law graduate makes big impression in legal publishing world
Brooke MacKenzie (Law '12) is already a twice-published law journal author. Two of her papers were accepted for publication in one year – one by the Advocates' Quarterly and the second by the Canadian Bar Review.
"Having them published in a sequence attests not only to her ability to take a pressing problem and come up with a creative way to analyze it, but also her ability to find the pulse of the litigation community at an early stage in her career," says supervisor Erik Knutsen (Law).
Her most recent paper – Better Value: Problems with the Billable Hour and the Viability of Value-Based Billing – is scheduled to be published in the Canadian Bar Review. The paper argues that time-based billing facilitates unethical practices, rewards inefficiency and fails to provide clients with certainty and accountability.
The lack of Canadian scholarly literature directly on point, coupled with her experiences working in different legal settings – in a small human rights firm, Queen's Legal Aid and a Bay Street firm – motivated Ms MacKenzie to write on the topic.
"I've docketed all my time in all the law-related positions I've held," she explained, "but I've always questioned if my time was a true measure of the value I provided to clients."
Her first paper – Settling for Less: How the Rules of Civil Procedure Overlook the Public Perception of Justice – was published in December 2011 in Advocates' Quarterly. It argues that settling lawsuits can contribute to uncertainty in the law and exacerbate existing inequalities, and advocates for a system that promotes settlement in a way that does not discourage parties from going to trial when it is in their best interest to do so.

Kenny Chesney and Steve Miller set to perform together!
by Wes Poe
posted Feb 19 2010 11:20AM
Kenny Chesney
will take the stage with rocker
Steve Miller
for an upcoming edition of C-M-T's
. The two first played together in San Francisco at one Kenny's stadium shows. He tells us, "I didn't think I'd ever meet guys like Steve Miller, much less be friends with him and share a stage with him."
I saw that show in San Francisco and Steve Miller joined Kenny on stage for a couple of songs toward the end of his set, it was one of those cool moments that I'll never forget. Let me tell you this crossroads is one not to miss. We'll keep you posted when we get more info!
When Steve called Kenny to invite him to be part of
, he quickly said yes. "He's so down to earth, so easy-going, you'd never think about what a big star he is... It is truly an honor to get to do this with him."
No air date has been set for the show.

The Spouses/Partners Planning Committee is the pivotal steering body of the AASCU Spouse/Partner Program. Through its diverse make-up, the Committee provides the "thought leadership" for initiatives and topical programming of necessity and advises AASCU on the needs, wishes and expertise of spouses/partners. Members of the committee (including the chair and chair-elect) are proposed-in slate form-by the Spouse/Partner Nominating Committee and the slate is then ratified by all AASCU spouses/partners. Members each serve two-year terms, with half rotating off the committee each year. The Liaison to the Spouse/Partner Program and the Planning and Outreach Coordinator both serve as ex officio members of this group. The spouse/partner of the Chair of AASCU's Board of Directors serves on the Planning Committee as an ex officio member if they so choose.
(year in parentheses under each Committee member's name indicates the year of the AASCU Annual Meeting in which that member's term will end)

auditoriumPosts Tagged 'auditorium'The Band Prozac, There are too many posts I wanted to make this weekend and not enough time, so for the sake of convenience, I'll just throw it all up in one go. By the way, if you're into hockey or just want something good to watch tomorrow, check out the gold medal game between the Canadian and the American men's teams, 30mg The Band Prozac. If Canada wins, then we'll hold the record for most gold medals won at a Winter Olympic Games. 40mg The Band Prozac, No pressure. Kid Cudi - "Know Why" (unreleased Cudi from 2008). I'm feeling the chill vibe on this, The Band Prozac. Ludacris - "Mind Freak" feat. Criss Angel (jokingly, 200mg The Band Prozac, not seriously). A nice little banger that's supposedly an unused cut from Theater Of The Mind. Mos Def - "Auditorium" feat. The Band Prozac japan, Slick Rick - fan video. The anime theme does justice to my favorite track off The Ecstatic The Band Prozac, . Inspectah Deck, B.o.B., Gorillaz, 500mg The Band Prozac, and Jay Electronica after the jump. Jay Electronica on upcoming projects. 50mg The Band Prozac, How about you give us Act II first. One step at a time, Jay. B.o.B - "Trunk Band" feat, The Band Prozac. T-Pain, The Band Prozac canada. This is not going to be on The Adventures of Bobby Ray. From circa three years ago. 20mg The Band Prozac, Inspectah Deck - "The Big Game" feat. The Band Prozac, Raekwon & AC. Wow...this sucks. I'll post this anyways because some might be feeling this, but this song is reminding me of the fact that Deck hasn't actually been able to drop a thoroughly solid solo project, The Band Prozac australia. Regardless, I don't take back what I said about him earlier because the strength of his verses on Wu-Tang songs is undeniable. The Band Prozac uk, Gorillaz - Plastic Beach album mix. Snippets of the tracks from the upcoming album for your listening pleasure. I'm personally passing on this because I hate hearing too many tracks from an album before it drops. So there you go. Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks. Similar posts: Retin A Micro Vs Ziana. Cheapest Price For Cialis. Prozac Wellbutrin. Diflucan Treatment overseas. Cipro Reations japan. Stories Cialis uk.

On Double Chocolate Milano Cookies (II)
Posted: February 5, 2012 | Author: Sean Casey | Filed under: Enthusiasms | Tags: cookie, milano, moderation, thrill | Leave a commentHere is another entirely valid and considered response to a Double Chocolate Milano Cookie:
The chocolate is always the prize, but too much of a prize takes from the thrill and endurance of its reward. In order to forever thrill before you, Milano Cookie, I would have you reduce in chocolate, increase in wafer. I would have, as it were, less pleasure, so that I may have more pleasure.

On Double Chocolate Milano Cookies
Posted: February 4, 2012 | Author: Sean Casey | Filed under: Enthusiasms | Tags: cookie, milano, pleasure, salma hayek | Leave a commentReasonable people can disagree about the proper response to Double Chocolate Milano cookies. One reasonable chap might well say this before such a cookie:
"Enough! In this life I have known pleasure—its contours and depths, its variety and variability, its restless allure and the full thrum of its pulse—but this, this, this cookie, with its chocolate now doubled, doubled, is pleasure of a quantity I cannot assess, let alone enjoy. Indeed, what is enjoyment of such a cookie? I am without the necessary equipment to partake of it. I say it again, again, again: Enough!"

Question 1: May a State expand a vehicle group to include vehicles that do not meet the Federal definition of the group?
Guidance: Yes, if: a. A person who tests in a vehicle that does not meet the Federal standard for the Group(s) for which the issued CDL would otherwise be valid, is restricted to vehicles not meeting the Federal definition of such Group(s); and b. The restriction is fully explained on the license.
Question 2: Is a driver of a combination vehicle with a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of less than 26,001 pounds required to obtain a CDL even if the trailer Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is more than 10,000 pounds?
Guidance: No, because the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is less than 26,001 pounds. The driver would need a CDL if the vehicle is transporting HM requiring the vehicle to be placarded or if it is designed to transport 16 or more persons.
Question 3: Can a State which expands the vehicle group descriptions in §383.91 enforce those expansions on out-of-State Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) drivers by requiring them to have a CDL?
Guidance: No. They must recognize out-of-State licenses that have been validly issued in accordance with the Federal standards and operative licensing compacts.
Question 4: What Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) group are drivers of articulated motor coaches (buses) required to possess?
Guidance: Drivers of articulated motor coaches are required to possess a Class B CDL.
Question 5: Do tow truck operators need CDLs? If so, in what vehicle group(s)?
Guidance: For CDL purposes, the tow truck and its towed vehicle are treated the same as any other powered unit towing a non-powered unit:
—If the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of the tow truck and its towed vehicle is 26,001 pounds or more, and the towed vehicle alone exceeds 10,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), then the driver needs a Group A CDL.
—If the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the tow truck alone is 26,001 pounds or more, and the driver either (a) drives the tow truck without a vehicle in tow, or (b) drives the tow truck with a towed vehicle of 10,000 pounds or less Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), then the driver needs a Group B CDL.
—A driver of a tow truck or towing configuration that does not fit either configuration description above, requires a Group C CDL only if he or she tows a vehicle required to be placarded for hazardous materials on a ''subsequent move,'' i.e. after the initial movement of the disabled vehicle to the nearest storage or repair facility.

Drivers Meeting Held Schedule Announced |
Written by Austin |
Tuesday, 22 January 2013 16:19 |
Over 100 people filled the I-35 Speedway Trackside Bar & Grill to attend the 2013 Drivers Meeting to register, catch up on the latest rule changes, and gather any new racing information. Track owner Mike Johnson started the meeting by welcoming and thanking everyone for their attendance and continued support. Mike talked about the changes completed to the racing surface in turns 1 & 2, changes that promise to enhance the already great competition. Mike encouraged all to keep a positive attitude and have fun this racing season. Also, Mike added that anyone can call and talk to him about any situation; as his phone number is on the website. Owners Mike and Kyle Johnson continue to work hard and make improvements; as they strive to make I-35 the best, fun, and family oriented race track in the country. In the scoring booth this year will be Karen Darling and Jamie Powell, with JD Green on the raceiver. Big additions this year are pit contacts: Brad Whitney and Randy Grimmet to assist with any situations that may arise with line ups and track questions. Tech will be handled primarily by Bobby Lopez with assistance from Jim Peeler as needed. Jim Peeler introduced a better helmet to prevent loss and damage to receivers (contact Jim for details). Jim also stated that all helmets this racing season must be SA 2005-2010. Anyone using a head and neck restraint must have a head rest on both sides of the seat and seat belts must be fastened to the main roll cage, not the tail section. Jim asked all drivers and crew members to assure safety features are correctly in place. Modified, Sport Modified, Street Stock, and Hobby Stock will all remain IMCA sanctioned for the 2013 season. All participants are urged to read the rules.
Please come and join us for an exciting season of "Dirt Track Racin' At It's Best". |

Percentage of horse chestnut trees surveyed in 2007 with symptoms of bleeding canker
The Forestry Commission undertook a survey in 2007 to assess how widely trees are affected. It confirmed that bleeding canker on horse chestnuts is now very widespread with around 49% of all the trees assessed showing symptoms to some degree. The extent of the disease also varies in different parts of Britain.
Region | Rural locations | Urban locations |
Northeast | 46% | 33% |
Northwest | 54% | 64% |
Yorkshire and Humber | 39% | 37% |
East Midlands | 35% | 47% |
West Midlands | 38% | 87% |
East of England | 33% | 59% |
Southeast | 79% | 74% |
London | 47% | 49% |
Southwest | 52% | 58% |
Wales | 32% | 41% |
Scotland | 34% | 50% |
Survey report (PDF-348K)
Forest Research scientists estimate some 35,000 to 50,000 trees are affected and probably a few thousands have already been felled as a result of the disease.
Horse chestnuts ranging from 10-15 year old vigorous saplings to large mature amenity trees can all be affected by the disorder. Many are highly visible amenity trees in parks and public gardens, others form important features in avenues, historic gardens and landmarks such as the double avenue of horse chestnuts leading up to the prehistoric Avebury stone circle.
In a detailed survey of around 230 horse chestnuts in Hampshire, about half were found to be suffering from bleeding canker (Straw and Green, unpublished data). A higher proportion of trees in towns and rural areas displayed symptoms compared with woodland trees, while slightly more red horse chestnuts (A. x carnea) were affected compared with white flowered trees (A. hippocastanum).
Reports indicate that not only common red and white horse chestnuts suffer from Pseudomonas bleeding canker. The variety Aesculus hippocastanum 'Baumanii' appears to be extremely susceptible, and there have been occasional reports of Aesculus indica and A. flava with symptoms. An example of the rare hybrid chestnut, A. + dallimorei, has also been found to be susceptible to bleeding canker.

CHICAGO — The Creighton women couldn't climb the Big East standings as they lost 80-66 at DePaul on Sunday.
The loss dropped the Bluejays to 14-10, including 8-4 in the conference. CU remains in third place in the Big East, while second-place DePaul improved to 19-5 and 10-2.
McKenzie Fujan led the Bluejays with 18 points. Marissa Janning and Sarah Nelson added 16 and 14 points, respectively.
The Bluejays dug themselves a 38-21 halftime deficit, in part due to the Blue Demons ending the half on a 17-3 run and by shooting 23 percent (7 of 31 from the field) from the field — including 0 for 10 from beyond the arc.
Down 52-36 with 13:10 remaining, Creighton mounted a rally.
Nelson's 3-pointer cut the deficit to 58-53. The Bluejays had two chances to make it a one-possession game, but were unable to get any closer as DePaul scored the next 10 points.
Creighton returns to action Saturday, hosting Providence in the Play4Kay game at 2:05 p.m.

Passim is all ages, all the time.
Tickets to shows at Club Passim can be purchased in three ways: Online, by phone, or at our box office. We strongly encourage you to purchase your tickets online where you can view the seating chart and choose your seats/table.
Tickets go on sale to members of Club Passim a week before they go on sale to the general public. If you are not a member of Passim and would like to learn more, you can do so here.
Ticket sales made online or by phone stop at 3PM on the day of the performance. At that point, you may still purchase tickets but only in person, at our box office. The box office is located at 47 Palmer Street, the same location as the Club. Our box office is open everyday from 6:30PM-10PM. Tickets are available at the box office 90 minutes prior to each show unless it is sold out.
All tickets have a $2.65 ticket processing fee and a $1 preservation fee. The $2.65 ticket processing fee is waived for tickets purchased at our box office.
Our ticket office's phone number is 617.492.7679. Please note that this phone is not located at our box office. This phone is answered Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm. If you call us outside of these times, then your call will be returned during office hours on the next business day.

What should I do if I can't make it to the show?
We are unable to offer refunds, but you have two options to ensure that your ticket doesn't go to waste. You may give your ticket to a friend by forwarding the confirmation email to them or by simply telling them what name your order is under. You may also release the ticket back to us by calling 617.492.5300, and we'll make sure that your seat doesn't sit empty.
How do I get a refund?
Passim does not offer ticket refunds. Please give your ticket to a friend, or call 617.492.5300 to release them back to us so someone else can use your ticket.
What should I do if my group is arriving at different times?
We are happy to seat your party as each person arrives. Just make sure that everyone in your party knows the name that the order is under.
If I bought tickets for the early show, may I switch to the late show (or vice versa)?
We are able to offer exchanges for the same show at a different time or on a different night (for example, switching from the Friday Dar Williams show to the Saturday Dar Williams show). We can accommodate exchanges by charging the processing fees ($2.65 per ticket) again. If you would like to exchange your tickets, please call the ticketing line, 617.492.7679.
I would like to use my member passes for a show. How do I reserve my seats?
Please email Mallory or call her at 617.492.5300 to reserve seats using your member passes.
How do I use my gift card to buy tickets?
Please contact Abbey at 617.492.5300 to place your order. You are unable to redeem your gift card through our website.
What does "Will Call" mean?
"Will Call" means that your name will be on a list at the box office on the night of the show. There will be no physical tickets. All you need to do is bring your confirmation email to the box office and that will serve as your tickets.
What should I do if I didn't receive a confirmation email?
First, please check your spam folder for an email sent by our ticketing address. If you still can't find the email, please call us at 617.492.7679 to make sure that your order went through successfully.
What should I do if I can't print my confirmation email?
As long as you know the name that the order is under, we will be able to find your order at the box office, even without the confirmation email.
What is the difference between Dinner Seats and General Admission?
The two types of seating are equal in price, and you may eat and drink in both sections. However, dinner seats (or table seats) are at reserved tables, while General Admission are first-come, first-served seats with no table.
My confirmation email says "Table 14" and "General Admission." Does this mean I'm sitting at a table or general admission?
Your seats are at Table 14. The second category "General Admission" means that your specific seat at the table is not reserved. When you arrive at the show, you may sit at any of the available seats at your table.
There are three of us in my party. Will someone else sit at the table with us?
Yes, this is possible. Each seat is sold separately, so another patron may join your party.
There are five of us in my party. Can we just pull up an extra chair at our table?
There are four seats per table, and there is no room to pull up an extra chair. You may get seats at two adjacent tables so that you can sit near each other, but we are unable to add a fifth chair to a table.
I'm planning to eat dinner at the Club. Do I need to finish my meal before the show starts?
The Veggie Planet waitstaff will circulate throughout the room for the whole evening, starting 90 minutes before showtime. When you eat is entirely up to you. Some people like to finish dinner before the show, starts, while others prefer to arrive about 15 minutes before showtime and eat during the performance.
Where can I find the Veggie Planet menu?
Go to Veggieplanet.net.
How do I find out if a show is canceled due to inclement weather?
We rarely cancel shows. If the artist is able to make it to Club Passim, then the show will go on. If we do cancel a show, then we will immediately post an announcement on our home page. If there is bad weather on the night of your show, please check the home page of our website for the latest news or call the office at 617.492.5300. If a show is canceled, all ticketholders will be notified and fully refunded for the tickets.
May I bring my child to a show?
Yes! We are an all-ages venue, so children and teens are welcome. Children under two do not need a ticket, as long as they are sitting in an adult's lap. Family memberships include free passes for children ten or younger.

Following the premiere of Porgy and Bess in 1935, questions arose as to whether it should be performed as an opera with recitatives or as musical theater with spoken dialogue. For many years after 1942, Porgy and Bess appeared as a broadway show with spoken dialogue, however, Gershwin's version was and remains today as an opera. The upcoming performance of Porgy and Bess in Cincinnati on Sunday, July 8, will be the operative version with recitatives and full symphony orchestra. It will feature internationally known opera singers: Canadian superstar soprano Meashaa Brueggergosm as Bess, and bass-baritone Jonathan Lemalu as Porgy. An excursion, to Cincinnati, open to the public, is sponsored and planned by the Marietta College Institute for Learning in Retirement.
This folk opera, as Gershwin called it, was inspired from the novel Porgy by Dubose Heyward, who, with Ira Gershwin, wrote the lyrics. The story germinated in Gershwin's mind until 1935 when it was finally completed. It is his most ambitious creation and his favorite composition. Gershwin's biographer, David Ewen, wrote that he "never quite ceased to wonder at the miracle that he had been its composer. He never stopped loving each and every bar, never wavered in the conviction that he had produced a work of art." It is considered to be Gershwin's most complex composition. America's first opera, as well as the most important composition in the 20th century. In it, he combines both popular and classical influences.
Born Jacob Gershowitz in Brooklyn, New York in 1898 of Russian-Jewish immigrants, he later changed his name to George Gershwin. His interest in music came at about age 11 when his father bought a piano for the older son, Ira. George then studied with Charles Hambitzer who called him "a genius who would make a mark some day." At 15 years of age, he began his career playing the piano in New York's nightclubs and was soon composing his own pieces. It was his jazz-influenced Rhapsody in Blue that ushered him into writing serious music.
Gershwin's music, especially the opera Porgy and Bess, were well received in Europe. Though Debussy and Ravel incorporated jazz elements in their music, Gershwin remains alone in his convincing melding of jazz into symphonic music. After having achieved recognition and wealth, one day, Gershwin asked Maurice Ravel for lessons in composition. Ravel is said to have asked how much he earned from his music. Ravel replied, "Then, Monsieur Gershwin, I think it is I who should take lessons from you."
Porgy and Bess is the story of a poor, crippled black man who lives on Catfish Row in Charleston, South Carolina. Despite his disabilities, Porgy has taken Bess away from a drunken and murderous stevedore, Crown. Many beautiful and familiar songs, Summertime, I Got Plenty o' Nuttin", Bess, You is my Woman Now, It Ain't Necessarily So, will be heard in the operatic version (with recitatives) in George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess on Sunday, July 8, at the Music Hall in Cincinnati.

Islamic summit: How best to end civil war in Syria?
- by DR. ABDUL RUFF
As NATO-UNSC veto terror syndicates continue to terrorize the global Muslims with perpetual terror wars in energy rich and strategically important Muslim nations and most of Muslim rulers also kill Muslims and loot the national resources, Islamic summit opened in Cairo on Wednesday the 07th Feb 2013. Leaders of Muslim nations called for a negotiated end to Syria's civil war, thrusting Egypt's new Islamist president to center stage amid turbulence at home.
In a keynote address, Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi called on "the ruling regime" in Damascus to learn the lessons of history and not put its interests above those of the nation, saying that rulers who did so were inevitably finished. Mursi urged all OIC members to support the Syrian opposition's efforts to unite and bring about change. The summit of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation opened on a day when the assassination of a leading Tunisian opposition politician highlighted the fragility of "Arab Spring" democratic revolutions in North Africa.
With Mahmoud Ahmadinejad making an ice-breaking visit to Egypt, the first by an Iranian president since the 1979 Islamic revolution, the two-day meeting was focusing on how to stop the bloodshed in Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad counts Tehran as one of his last allies. Ahmadinejad earlier told Egyptian journalists there could be no military solution and he was encouraged that the Syrian government and opposition were moving towards negotiations to end a conflict in which at least 60,000 people have died. His foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, told Egypt's state news agency he believed the Syrian government was ready to negotiate with the opposition. "We are optimistic," he added after the meeting with the leaders of Turkey and Egypt.
Syria crisis topped the debate of the summit. Syria was not present at the Islamic summit after being suspended from the OIC last August. The Syrian opposition said it had not received an invitation and would not be attending. On the summit sidelines, the leaders of Egypt, Turkey and Iran gathered for talks on the Syria crisis. The Iranian foreign minister came out of the meeting expressing optimism about the prospects for a resolution. The head of the Syrian opposition, in Cairo but not at the summit, told BBC Arabic that Iran was making the decisions in Damascus, and gave the Syrian government until Sunday to release women detainees or else his offer of talks would lapse. Heavy fighting erupted in Damascus as rebels launched an offensive against Assad's forces, breaking a lull in the conflict, opposition activists said. Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki canceled his trip to the Cairo meeting after Shokri Belaid, a staunch secular opponent of the moderate Islamist government, was shot dead outside his home, triggering street protests. Opposition Syrian National Coalition leader Moaz Alkhatib said Iran was the real power in Damascus. Alkhatib had on Sunday offered to meet Assad's ceremonial deputy, Farouq al-Shara, for peace talks if the authorities released thousands of prisoners. But in his interview, he said his proposal for talks with Shara had been rejected. He demanded the release of all women detainees by Sunday, or else his initiative "would have been broken", the BBC reported.
State institutions are collapsing, Islamist groups are gaining ground, more and more Syrians are dying, and there is no breakthrough in sight. Theirs is however the voice of Syria's intelligentsia, who oppose foreign military intervention and favour a ceasefire and a negotiated solution. The motives behind Israel's attack on Syria are still obscure. The attack was also a reminder that Syria's turmoil is having dangerously unpredictable consequences across the region. Underlining the deep regional divisions over the Syria conflict, Saudi Arabia, a key supporter of the Syrian rebels and a member of an "Islamic Quartet" formed by Mursi last August to try to broker a solution, did not attend the Syria crisis meeting in Cairo, diplomats said. Saudi Crown Prince Salman told the summit the Syrian regime was "committing ugly crimes" against its people. He said the U.N. Security Council, which has so far been paralyzed by Russian and Chinese opposition to sanctions, should act to "finalize the transition of power".
The UN Security Council remains blocked as Western states urge for a "political solution," which implies the unilateral surrender of the Assad government, while Russia still urges for "national dialogue." However, the situation may be shifting on the ground. Finding a viable political solution in Syria is all the more urgent as the region becomes increasingly destabilized. Israel's attack on Syria shows the dangerous and unpredictable consequences of continued fighting and a deadlock political situation. The leader of the Syrian National Coalition - which long called for Bashar Al-Assad's removal as a precondition for negotiations - now advocates for talks with the president, along with the support of the UN/Arab League mediator who is working towards a ceasefire.
Undoubtedly, the developments win Libya influenced the opposition in Syria to seek for regime change. The oppositionists who favour negotiations won out in Geneva, calling for talks on a new constitution and a transitional government. Since military victory is a delusion, it argued, only an imposition of a puppet regime is a must and thus Syrian National Coalition depends on foreign support alone. West finds it difficult to kill Assad and control the resources and state by a puppet regime quickly enough. .
Two years on since the U.S., EU, Turkish and Qatari adoption of a "regime change" in Syria by force, on the lines of the "Libyan scenario," the first military option has failed to materialize.With the legitimate Syrian government gaining the upper hand militarily on the ground, the inability of the rebels is visible to "liberate" even one city, town or enough area in the countryside to be declared a "buffer zone" or to host the self-proclaimed leadership of opposition in exile.
Such intervention would only promise more of the same, prolonging the military conflict, shedding more of Syrian blood, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, multiplying the numbers of those displaced inside the country and the Syrian refugees abroad, postponing an inevitable political solution, and significantly rallying more Syrians in support of the ruling regime in defending their country against the Israeli occupier of their Syrian Golan heights, thus isolating the rebels by depriving them from whatever support their terrorist tactics have left them.
All the "Friends of Syria" have been on record that they were doing all they could to enforce a "buffer zone" inside Syria; they tried to create it through Turkey in northern Syria, through Jordan in the south, through Lebanon in the west and on the borders with Iraq in the east, but they failed to make it materialize. They tried to enforce it by a resolution from the UN Security Council, but their efforts were aborted three times by a dual Russian – Chinese veto. They tried, unsuccessfully so far, to enforce it outside the jurisdiction of the United Nations by arming an internal rebellion, publicly on the payroll of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, logistically supported by Turkey and the U.S., British, French and German intelligence services and spearheaded mainly by the al-Qaeda – linked Al-Nusra Front, a rebellion focusing on the peripheral areas sharing borders with Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, after the failure of an early attempt to make the western Syrian port city of Latakia on the Mediterranean play the role the city of Benghazi played in the Libyan "change of regime."
Now, Israel has stepped in the conflict, publicly for the first time, to try its hands to enforce a "buffer zone" of its own in an attempt to succeed where all the "Friends of Syria" have failed.
Israel is considering creating a buffer zone reaching up to ten miles inside Syria, modelled on a similar zone it created in southern Lebanon in 1985. Israel in fact have been paving the way materially on the ground for an Israeli – created buffer zone. Earlier, in a much less publicized development, Israel allowed the UN-monitored buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli – occupied Syrian Golan Heights to be overtaken by the "Islamist" Syrian rebels. The Syrian army doesn't have any interest in provoking Israel," because "Syria has enough problems." However it would be anybody's guess to know for how long Syria could tolerate turning the UN monitored demilitarized buffer zone, with Israeli closed eyes, into a terrorist safe haven and into a corridor of supply linking the rebels in Lebanon to their "brethren" in southern Syria.
More importantly however, such an Israeli intervention risks a regional outburst if not contained by the world community or if it succeeds in inviting a reciprocal Syrian retaliation. Both Syrians and Israelis were on record in the aftermath of the Israeli raid that the bilateral "rules of engagement" have already changed.
Like USA, Israel also wants regime change in Mideast, now in Syria and is preparing for "dramatic changes" in Syria. Israel sued the bogus claim of chemical weapons in Syria to justify the their unwarranted raid . On last December 8 UN Chief Ban Ki-moon said there were "no confirmed reports" Damascus was preparing to use them. More likely Israel is either trying to escalate militarily to embroil an unwilling United States in the Syrian conflict, in a too late attempt to pre-empt a political solution, out of a belief that the fall of the Al – Assad regime will serve Israel's strategy. But Both USA and Russia seem to have told Israeli military establishment that escalating militarily at a time of political de-escalation of the military solution in Syria will not secure a seat for Israel in any forum. Israeli terrorism can only help in escalating humanitarian crisis and the rising death toll in Syria. This is the message that the Israeli regime has for reference. The Israeli raid sends a message that the military option could yet be pursued. No surprise then that the frustrated Syrian rebels are loosing ground, momentum and morale. The option of a political solution is left as the only way forward and as the only way out of the bloodshed and the snowballing humanitarian crisis.
Egypt is taking over the OIC chair at a time of upheaval in the Arab world and sectarian tension between the main branches of Islam. President Mursi is also grappling with sustained protests at home by liberal and leftist opponents who accuse him of seeking to monopolize power.
Post Mubarak era Egypt has made President Mursi the key leader of Mideast. Mursi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, sought to project his country as the leader of the Islamic world in his speech, seven months after becoming Egypt's first democratically elected head of state. He told the assembled kings, presidents and prime ministers that the "glorious January 25 revolution" that toppled Egypt's autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011 "forms the cornerstone in the launching of this nation to new horizons of progress". On Tuesday, he embraced Ahmadinejad and gave him a red-carpet airport welcome, but his foreign minister hastened to assure Gulf Arab states that Egypt would not sacrifice their security in opening to Tehran. The Gulf states – not normally big aid-givers – came up with most of the cash to fund a UN appeal for $1.5bn to help homeless Syrians in the country and in refugee camps abroad. Britain added $50m.
A communiqué drafted by OIC foreign ministers blames Assad's government for most of the slaughter and urges it to open talks on a political transition. Thieu diplomats said Iran had objected to the wording and it might be toned down to spread responsibility more evenly. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said the statement had to be adopted by consensus and would stress the need for dialogue and a political solution. The draft text also urged the Syrian opposition to speed up the creation of a transitional government "to be ready to assume responsibility in full until the completion of the desired political change process". the communiqué urged President Assad and the Syrian regime to show wisdom and call for serious dialogue to take place between the national coalition of the Syrian revolution, opposition forces, and representatives of the Syrian government committed to political transformation in Syria and those who have not been directly involved in any form of oppression...
Maybe Assad thinks it is better to die than lose power by surrendering to West backed opposition bully. neither Assad is ready for polls or nominate a reliable replacement. Like all other Muslims rulers he also perhaps thinks he is a permanent ruler and none can remove him power.
Issue is larger and deeper than removing Assad. .

Global media today, even in Muslim nations, are controlled by CIA & other anti-Islamic agencies.Terrorism is caused by anti-Islamic forces.Regimes often resort to state terrorism. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than "terrorism" Fake democracies have zero-tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices. Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using all sorts of criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they in disguise are harming genuine interests of ordinary Muslims. Humanity has a right to know the truth. Muslim blood is cheap...

I wonder if people are still thrilled by the Arab spring. From my point of view it brings more evil than good. The so called liberated nations are presently no better than they were before the revolution.
Israel coming under the light is unnerving. They think they are no one's match. They do what they wish and no one can stop them. And of course no one seems capable stopping them.

Well at least people are now allowed to keep beards in Egypt without being sent to prison and tortured for many years, and women can wear a Hijab in Tunisia now without being striped naked and paraded through the streets.

Dropkick Murphys Return for an Encore
Sep 23, 2010
Milwaukee, WI- Milwaukee Admirals President Jon Greenberg announced today that the Dropkick Murphys will return to the Bradley Center for an encore performance following the team's 7:00 pm game against the Chicago Wolves on Friday, February 25. No strangers to the Ads, the Dropkick Murphys entertained a crowd in excess of 15,000 fans last season after an exhilarating 7-6 overtime win against the Wolves.
"The Dropkick Murphys bring an energy and stage presence that is unmatched and we are thrilled to be able to welcome them back to the Bradley Center this season," said Greenberg.
The Dropkick Murphys, an Irish-American Celtic Punk band originating in Boston, have grown from a local group to one of the best known rock bands in the world, thanks in large part to their extraordinary live shows. The band, which has released six albums, attributes their music to a mixing of several genres including punk rock, Irish folk, rock and hardcore music.
In 1998, the Dropkick Murphys released their first full length album Do or Die, and since then have had many successful singles including smash hits "Walk Away" from their 2003 album Blackout, and "I'm Shipping Up to Boston," which as been certified platinum, from their 2006 album The Warrior's Code.
In 2007, the Dropkick Murphys made their major-label debut with The Meanest of Times, released by Warner Bros. Records, and last March they released their second live album Live on Lansdowne, Boston MA, which featured the band's first full-length live DVD, and debuted at number 25 on the Billboard Charts.
The Dropkick Murphys have had the opportunity to travel and tour around the world, including a stint on the Vans Warped Tour in 2003. More recently in April 2009, the Dropkick Murphys joined Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band onstage in Boston for his Working on a Dream Tour, playing "Glory Days" and "American Land". In June 2009 the band opened up for Aerosmith during a "Hometown Heroes" concert in their home-state of Massachusetts.
In addition, the band is renowned for their patronage of Boston sports teams and they performed live at the NHL's Winter Classic last year, which was held at Fenway Park.
The concert is free to attend with a game ticket, which will be sold at marquee prices of $1 more per ticket than regular season prices for individual and group seats.
The Admirals will kick off the 2010-11 season by hosting the Abbotsford Heat on Saturday, October 9 at 7:00 pm at the Bradley Center. Fans can purchase tickets for every game by calling Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or logging on to milwaukeeadmirals.com. Season tickets for the 10-11 campaign are still on sale, starting at just $145. For more information or to purchase season tickets fans can call the Admirals office at (414) 227-0550 or visit milwaukeeadmirals.com.
