And then theres Wesley Mathews at the perimeter, always ready to drain a three-pointer. Don't miss a Trail Blazers basketball game live at the Rose Garden because the team is playing hard. The Western Conference's Northwest Division is heating up so the Trail Blazers needs to play tough. You can find a large selection of Portland Trail Blazers game tickets right here so don't pass up all the excitement! Portland Trail Blazers Roster:
> Portland Trail Blazers RivalriesDon't miss out on seeing LaMarcus Aldridge and the Trail Blazers take on rivals like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Sacramento Kings. There is no love lost between these teams and Trail Blazers games featuring these rivals are always extra-exciting. Don't pass up a chance to watch Portland basketball take on the Oklahoma City Thunder because these games are out of control. And don't forget about Portland Trail Blazers vs Sacramento Kings tickets either, because that is another tough opponent. No shortage of tough teams on the Portland basketball schedule, so get your tickets today! Portland Trail Blazers Fast Facts:
The Portland Trail Blazers started out fast out of the gate last season, and expectations were soaring. Led by emerging superstar LaMarcus Aldridge, who would secure his first All-Star appearance later in the year, the Blazers seemed poised for a postseason appearance, but faltered as the season wore on and found themselves on the outside looking in as the postseason approached for the first time in three years. The Blazers and Coach Terry Stotts are determined to get back to the upper echelon of the Western Conference this season, and they'll need all the Blazers fans in the stands at the Rose Garden urging them on, so make sure you get your Blazers tickets and cheer Portland on. The addition of JJ Hickson last year, the former Cavalier, should help the Blazers inside game and take some pressure off Aldridge in the interior. The Blazers also re-signed small forward Nicolas Batum in the offseason, and he should provide some offensive firepower to complement the rest of the Trail Blazers frontcourt. Wesley Matthews provides some outside sharpshooting at shooting guard and should also help take on some of the ball handling duties in lieu of the departure of former PG Raymond Felton. This Blazers team has plenty of young talent to play alongside Aldridge, so make sure you get out to a game this season with some Trail Blazers tickets from Ticket Liquidator! The Western Conference is packed with top teams, so Portland will have a tough task in front of them if they want to get back to the playoffs in 2013-2014. This team is up for the challenge, however, and Lamarcus Aldridge is on the verge of superstardom in the NBA. If he can stay healthy, this team can compete with anyone in the West. One of the teams that Portland must be able to battle is the Oklahoma City Thunder, last season's runner-ups in the NBA finals to the eventual champion Miami Heat. With Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook forming one of the top backcourt duos in the NBA, the Blazers will have their hands full. The Blazers strength is in their frontcourt, however, and they may be able to do some damage in the paint. The road to Western supremacy still goes through the Thunder, even though the Los Angeles Lakers are perhaps the sexiest team on paper now, with the additions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. Another division rival the Blazers will need to keep in check is the Sacramento Kings, another young and hungry team who is looking to make a move in the Pacific Division as well. If the Blazers can manage to execute and play hard for Coach Stotts, they could turn a lot of heads in the NBA. Remember the name Damian Lillard, he could be one of the next major point guards to make their mark on the NBA. Grab those Portland Trail Blazers tickets soon so you can go see this team play live in Portland! Trailblazers tickets for home games grant the holder access to the Rose Garden. The $262 million dollar arena can hold up to 18,280 crazy fans with Blazers tickets. If you are Blazers fan there is really no better place to see the team play, so don't wait and get your tickets to Portland basketball today. Or else you can check out other cheap basketball tickets from the web's best source for tickets. |

Many thanks Sebastien, I have saved the thread in favourites! It should be compulsory viewing for all kiwis. I was hoping to get this again as Moz posted it earlier. I must go through it again. I really wonder what drove craig to do this? Not nealry as bad as BL which was totall youtrageous but i twas bad - bit like his Loftus super 14 fina lagainst the Mighty Stormers.
There was a huge response from the public. I took these off the first page ( The few poor kiwis were hard pressed by the rest of the world it seems and our craig joubert did not come out at all well - please note the ability here to be objective - kiwis please do likewise):
Craig Joubert (SA) not so good and honest after all.... Also part of the whole SA rugby union conspiracy ???

Combi modifications
I've asked for this before, but I primarily use Reason for live keyboards and guitar, not looping or composition.
I'd like to have a button to expand the keyboard display in the range assignment window to show the entire keyboard range. This would eliminate having to scroll back and forth endlessly when assigning devices to different areas of my keyboards. When you're assigning devices, you don't need to access the routing matrix. In other words, click a button, expand the keyboard display over the routing matrix area, assign all your devices wherever you need them on the keyboard, reclick the button to collapse the keyboard display and rout your controls. It sure would speed up programming my keys! Another thing that would be helpful is a button that would turn the combi buttons into radio buttons. When I'm playing live, I assign physical controls (keys/footswitches/buttons) to the combi buttons to toggle between different devices or sounds. That means to change between one sound and another, I have to hit a button to turn one sound on and another button to turn the other sound off. Radio buttons would perform that automatically. There is a workaround, but it's time-consuming and complicated. It would be nice not to have to go through all that just to toggle between sounds. I realize Reason is primarily a studio product, but I've been using it extensively in a live band situation now for at least 5 years. LOVE it. Last edited by synthuaxed; 2012-12-02 at 18:11. |

I made this shirt using Vogue's latest men's shirt pattern, V8889. I had to make a few alterations to the pattern, primarily narrowing the shoulders as it's designed for a more broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man, along with shortening the length a few inches (I'm 5'7").
The pattern has some nice details, including front and back shaped seams (see pics) and a hidden button placket.
You can read more about the making of this shirt on my blog, Male Pattern Boldness:
I used a very lightweight white cotton shirting for the shirt itself, and a floral patterned cotton remnant for the inside of the collar stand to add a bit of interest.

Beautiful work Peter :) love all the details, particularly the hidden button placket. Always good to see the work behind the scenes with the muslin and your tireless attention to fit – I've been going slightly crazy with alterations getting the fitting right on a McCalls shirt pattern and finally got it right on version 5 – now I have to perfect the short sleeve version !

Virginia Coast Travel Guide
Virginia Beach boardwalk © Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau
Virginia Beach, 110 miles (178km) east of Richmond, is one of the most popular holiday resorts on the East Coast where thousands of sun lovers flock each spring and summer for a traditional beachfront vacation. Most visitors are drawn to the three-mile (5km) long boardwalk, lined with numerous hotels and restaurants overlooking part of the 20 miles (32km) of unbroken sand that covers the coastline here. The beaches are excellent, and the town hosts the East Coast Surfing Championships, as well as the North American Sand Soccer Championships, each year. In fact, Virginia Beach is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest pleasure beach in the world.
Virginia Beach also has some interesting sightseeing attractions, particularly the Virginia Marine Science Museum, the most popular museum in the state. Historic landmarks include the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse dating from 1791 and Adam Thoroughgood House, built around 1680. There is also the First Landing Seashore State Park (where the Jamestown settlers came ashore) offering nature trails and boating. The Virginia Beach Amphitheater hosts a number of productions throughout the summer.
Virginia Beach is located at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, and is near to a number of interesting towns, including Chesapeake, Hampton, Portsmouth and Suffolk. Its close proximity and resort town infrastructure makes it an excellent base for exploring all of the towns and hamlets of the Virginia coast.

NEW YORK NURSE: December 2008
Q.: My hospital uses many cleaning products that give off strong odors causing staff and patients to have respiratory problems and headaches. One of the nurses ended up in the emergency department with severe respiratory distress after being exposed to something the facility used on the floors. What can I do to get them to stop using these products?
A.: The odors from cleaning products come from the ingredients used to make the product. Some cleaning products use harsh and toxic chemicals to achieve their cleaning power. However, there is an increasing market for "environmentally preferable" products which have the same cleaning power with less toxic chemicals.
To start the process of improving the environment through use of less hazardous chemicals, your health and safety committee should request the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on the cleaning products suspected to be causing problems. Under the OSHA standard for Hazard Communications and Right to Know laws employers are required to maintain an MSDS on all chemicals used in the workplace and make them available to any employee upon request. Particular attention should be paid to the section on the MSDS which details the health hazards of the product. Once the committee determines which products are in use, they should search for similar, less hazardous products. A good website for this research is: www.ogs.state.ny.us.bldgadmin/environmental/ProductsLists.html.
Next, the health and safety committee should request a meeting with the environmental facilities director to discuss the cleaning products and the effects they are having on staff and patients. Having a list of equally effective but safer products can be a valuable element in helping the facility switch to less hazardous choices. The committee should also consider placing the issue on the labor management agenda, into the environment of care committee, and on the product selection and evaluation committee (if one exists in your facility). When discussing the problem in the labor management forum, the safety committee should emphasize the lost time of affected nurses, the increased length of stay for patients, and the complaints documented from friends and family visitors. In the environment of care committee, the issue of patient safety can be stressed, as well as complaints about the quality of care in the environment created by the products.
Finally, the safety committee should ask for a commitment from the facilities management director to evaluate the less hazardous products with the goal of selecting ones to replace the known offenders. Agree on a timeline and then revisit the issue to see if further improvements should be considered in either the products selected, the way in which they are used, or other factors which can improve the environment of care.
The NYSNA EGW Program receives many inquiries each month from members who have problems in their workplaces. If you have a question about labor relations at your facility, contact your NYSNA nursing representative. If you have a question you think should be featured in this column, send it to: RNs at Work, NYSNA, 120 Wall Street, 23rd Floor, New York, N.Y. 10005.

Salve Regina's graduate program in international relations helps professionals and military officers hone the critical and creative thinking skills necessary for success in the complex field of foreign affairs.
Accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, our rigorous program develops principled graduates who are prepared to offer innovative solutions to the political problems confronting our world. Guided by the University's mission, they work to promote justice and solidarity among our global community.
In small classes taught by accessible faculty members, students study political thought, international relations and comparative politics as well as a range of contemporary and regional issues. We work one-on-one with students to customize their educational experience and ensure their professional success in such fields as government, law, education and business.
With courses available at our Newport campus and online, our program offers working students a flexible schedule and an opportunity to accelerate the completion of their degree.
This course examines the concept of the just war theory from the point of view of different religions in regards to the declaration and conduct of conventional war. It also examines the ethical implications of contemplating nuclear, biological or chemical warfare.
Symeon Giannakos, director of the graduate program in international relations, spent a semester in Albania through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar program. Giannakos taught courses at the University of New York Tirana, assisted with recruiting programs by visiting high schools throughout Albania and explored possibilities for future educational cooperation.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the flexibility granted to me by my professors in the international relations program. In nearly all of my courses, I went astray of the syllabus and into an area that, while related, was not exactly expected but that I felt important and piqued my interest. I was undeniably allowed to seek out my passions, for which I am incredibly grateful."

< Return To Hearing
Mr. Rupert MurdochJune 18, 2003
Testimony of Rupert Murdoch The News Corporation, Ltd. Before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights ¡§The News Corp/Direct TV Deal: The Marriage of Content and Global Distribution¡¨ June 18, 2003 The News Corporation, Ltd. Before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights ¡§The News Corp/Direct TV Deal: The Marriage of Content and Global Distribution¡¨ June 18, 2003
Let me say at the outset that we believe that this acquisition has the potential to profoundly change the multichannel video marketplace in the United States to the ultimate benefit of all pay-TV customers, whether they are direct-to-home satellite or cable subscribers. It is my hope, and my goal, that as a result of this acquisition, Hughes¡¦ DIRECTV operation will be infused with the strategic vision, expertise, and resources necessary for it to bring innovation and competition to the multichannel marketplace and, of course, to the televisions of tens of millions of American viewers. The public interest benefits of this transaction are manifold, but I would like to briefly touch on three key areas today: First, News Corporation¡¦s outstanding track record of providing innovative new products and services to consumers, a track record that it is determined to replicate at Hughes and DIRECTV; Second, the specific consumer benefits that will be realized from this transaction, including improvements in local-into-local service, new and improved interactive services, and the many new diversity programs News Corporation will bring to Hughes; and Third, the absence of any horizontal or vertical merger concerns about this transaction. This transaction will only increase the already-intense competition in the programming and distribution markets, and market realities will compel our companies to continue the open and non-discriminatory practices each company has lived by. Nonetheless, to eliminate any possible concerns over the competitive effects of vertical integration, the parties have agreed as a matter of contract to significant program access commitments, and have asked the FCC to make those commitments an enforceable condition of the transfer of Hughes¡¦ DBS license. News Corporation¡¦s track record of innovation as a content provider and as a satellite broadcaster is without parallel. Our company has a history of challenging the established ¡V and often stagnant ¡V media with new products and services for television viewers around the world. Perhaps our first and best-known effort to offer new choices to consumers in the broadcasting arena came with the establishment of the FOX network in 1986. FOX brought much-needed competition to the ¡§Big 3¡¨ broadcast networks at a time when conventional wisdom said it couldn¡¦t be done. Seventeen years later, we have proved unambiguously that it could be done, with FOX reigning as the number one network so far this calendar year in the highly valued ¡§adults 18-49¡¨ demographic. Along the way, we redefined the TV genre with shows like The Simpsons, In Living Color, The X-Files, and America¡¦s Most Wanted, and more recently 24, Boston Public, Malcolm in the Middle, The Bernie Mac Show, and the biggest hit on American TV, American Idol. The FOX network was launched on the back of the Fox Television Stations group, an innovator in local news and informational programming since it was first formed. Today, Fox-owned stations air more than 800 hours of regularly scheduled local news each week ¡V an average of 23 hours per station. We have increased the amount of news on these stations by 57 percent, on average, compared to the previous owners. Viewers demand more local news, and we provide it. Fox-owned stations were often the first ¡V and in many markets are still the only ¡V stations to offer multiple hours of local news and informational programming each weekday morning. This commitment to local news extends well beyond the stations we own. Since 1994, Fox has assisted more than 100 affiliates in launching local newscasts. In addition to providing greater choice and innovation in network entertainment and local news, we have also redefined the way Americans watch sports. With viewer-friendly innovations such as the ¡§FOX Box¡¨ and the first ¡§Surround Sound¡¨ stereo in NFL broadcasts, the catcher cam in baseball, the glowing puck in hockey, and the car-tracking graphic in NASCAR, FOX has made sports more accessible and exciting for the average fan. FOX Sports Net, launched in 1996, has provided the first and only competitive challenge to the incumbent sports channel, ESPN. Fox Sports Nets¡¦ 19 regional sports channels, reaching 79 million homes, regularly beat ESPN in several key head-to-head battles. In 2002, Major League Baseball on ESPN averaged a 1.1 rating. On Fox Sports Net, baseball scored an average 3.5 rating in the markets it covers. The NBA on ESPN has averaged a 1.2 rating during the current season. In Fox Sports Net¡¦s markets, it has rated a 2.2. The key to Fox Sports Net¡¦s success is its delivery of what sports fans want most passionately: live, local games, whether at the professional, collegiate, or high school level, coupled with outstanding national sports events and programming. Perhaps News Corp.¡¦s most stunning success against conventional wisdom¡Xand our most innovative disruption of the status quo-- is the Fox News Channel, launched in 1996. A chorus of doubters said CNN owned the cable news space and no one could possibly compete. A scant five years later, Fox News Channel overtook CNN, and since early 2002 has consistently finished first among the cable news channels in total day ratings. Growing from 17 million subscribers at launch to almost 82 million subscribers this month, Fox News Channel boasts some of the most popular shows on cable and satellite. I think it is fair to say Fox transformed the cable news business, introducing innovative technology and programming, and bringing a fresh choice and perspective to American news viewers. Across the dial on American television are examples of where our challenges to the status quo have made a difference for viewers and proven we could be competitive against entrenched competition. We¡¦ve launched and expanded FX, a general entertainment channel; we¡¦ve launched the movie channel FXM; and we¡¦ve re-launched and expanded the Speed Channel, a channel devoted to auto racing enthusiasts. And in January 2001, we launched National Geographic Channel with our partner, the National Geographic Society, into nine million homes. Today, Nat Geo is the fastest-growing cable network in the nation with 43 million subscribers and is making steady progress in the ratings against the established industry leader, The Discovery Channel. News Corp.¡¦s track record of innovation is not limited to the United States. News Corp. will bring a wealth of innovation to Hughes and DIRECTV from its British DTH platform, BSkyB. We launched BSkyB in 1989 with only four channels of programming. In 1998, frustrated by the limitations of analog technology and determined to give viewers even wider choices, BSkyB launched a digital service that boasted 140 channels. In 1999, in order to speed the conversion to digital and to drive penetration, BSkyB offered free set-top boxes and dishes. The conversion to digital took three years and cost BSkyB nearly one billion dollars, but by 2001, when the transition to digital was complete, BSkyB¡¦s subscriber base had grown to 5 million homes. Through BSkyB¡¦s digital offering, BSkyB viewers may choose from 389 channels delivering programming 24 hours each day. They also have a vast array of new services, including world-first interactive innovations such as a TV news service that allows viewers to choose from multiple segments being broadcast simultaneously on a news channel, multiple camera angles during sporting events, or multiple screens of programming within a certain genre. In addition, BSkyB viewers have access to online shopping, banking, games, email, travel, tourism and information services. With the launch of Europe¡¦s first fully integrated digital video recorder in 2001, BSkyB customers won access to even more interactive capabilities and viewing choices. Upon completion of this transaction, News Corp. will bring the same spirit of innovation to the DBS business in the U.S, in the process redefining the choices Americans have when they watch television. This spirit of never-say-die competition and News Corp.¡¦s demonstrated determination to provide ever-expanding services to the public have the potential to re-energize the entire American multichannel video marketplace. To my second point about this transaction: its benefits to consumers. Apart from a history of bringing new competition and innovation to the television industry, News Corp. has been tremendously successful in bringing tangible benefits to consumers over nearly two decades of operating both here in the United States and abroad. This transaction will be no exception, enabling us to share our best practices across our platforms and across geographical boundaries to the benefit of consumers. These benefits will be very real, and often easily quantifiable. With that in mind, News Corp. is committed to dramatically increasing DIRECTV¡¦s present local-into-local commitment of 100 DMAs by providing local-into-local service in as many of the 210 DMAs as possible, and to do so as soon as economically and technologically feasible. To that end, we are already actively considering a number of alternative technologies, including using some of the Ka-band satellite capacity on Hughes Network Systems¡¦ SPACEWAY system; seamlessly incorporating digital signals from local DTV stations into DIRECTV set-top boxes equipped with DTV tuners; and by exploring and developing other emerging technologies that could be used to deliver local signals, either alone or in combination with one of the above alternatives. In addition, News Corp. is exploring new technologies that promise to improve spectrum efficiency or otherwise increase available capacity so that DIRECTV can expand the amount of HDTV content. Options include use of Ka-band capacity, higher order modulation schemes, such as the 8PSK technology FOX uses for its broadcast distribution to affiliated stations, and further improvements in compression technology. News Corp. will urge DIRECTV to carry many more than the four HDTV channels it currently carries and the five channels that some cable operators carry. In this way, we hope to help drive the transition to digital television by providing compelling programming in a format that will encourage consumers to invest in digital television sets. As to broadband, News Corp. will work aggressively to build on the services already provided by Hughes to make broadband available throughout the U.S., particularly in rural areas. Broadband solutions for all Americans could come from partnering with other satellite broadband providers, DSL providers, or new potential broadband providers using broadband over power line systems, or from other emerging technologies. News Corp. believes it is critical that consumers have vibrant broadband choices that compete with cable¡¦s video and broadband services on capability, quality and price. The public will also benefit from the efficiencies and economies of scope and scale that News Corporation will bring to DIRECTV. We believe by sharing ¡§best practices,¡¨ and by using management and expertise from our worldwide satellite operations, we will be able to substantially reduce DIRECTV¡¦s annual expenses by $65 to $135 million annually. Other efficiencies include sharing facilities of the various subsidiaries of News Corp. and Hughes in the U.S., and developing and efficiently deploying innovations, such as next-generation set-top boxes with upgraded interactive television and digital video recorder capabilities and state-of-the-art anti-piracy techniques. When Hughes becomes part of News Corp.¡¦s global family of DTH affiliates, it will benefit from a number of scale economies that will more efficiently defray the enormous research and development costs associated with bringing new features and services to market. Moreover, common technology standards for both hardware and software across the News Corp. DTH platforms should help to drive down consumer equipment and software costs. Through these various cost savings, DIRECTV will be able to finance more innovations in programming and technology to ensure that it achieves and maintains the highest level of service for its customers at competitive prices. News Corp. also plans to bring to DIRECTV the ¡§best practices¡¨ it has developed at its satellite operations in other countries. DIRECTV¡¦s ¡§churn rate¡¨ ¡V that is, the rate at which customers discontinue use of the service ¡V is around 18 percent, whereas BSkyB¡¦s annual churn rate is currently 9.4 percent. By using BSkyB¡¦s ¡§best practices¡¨ and accelerating the pace of innovation, we predict that DIRECTV should experience a 2 to 3 percent decline in its annual churn rate. We calculate that every percentage point reduction in churn will add approximately $33 million to Hughes¡¦ earnings. With these additional financial resources, DIRECTV will be able to finance additional initiatives in research, development and marketing. ?X A commitment to carry more programming on DIRECTV targeted at culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse audiences; Finally, to my third point: there are no horizontal or vertical merger concerns arising from this transaction. Because this transaction involves an investment in DIRECTV, a multichannel video programming distributor with no programming interests, by News Corp., a programmer with no multichannel distribution interests, no ¡§horizontal¡¨ competition issues arise. There will be no decrease in the number of U.S. competitors in either the multichannel video distribution market or the programming market. To the contrary, because of News Corp.¡¦s plans to bring ¡§best practices¡¨ and innovations to DIRECTV, competition in these markets will intensify and consumers will be presented with more and better choices. The transaction does result in a ¡§vertical¡¨ integration of assets because of the association of DIRECTV¡¦s distribution platform and News Corp.¡¦s programming assets. But this ¡§vertical¡¨ integration is not anti-competitive for two reasons. First, neither News Corp. nor DIRECTV has sufficient power in its relevant market to be able to act in an anti-competitive manner. DIRECTV has a modest 12 percent of the national multichannel market, compared to as much as 29 percent of the market held by the largest cable operator. News Corp. has a modest 3.9 percent of the national programming channels, compared to the largest cable programmer at 15.2 percent of the channels. Second, rational business behavior will prevent News Corp. and DIRECTV from engaging in anti-competitive behavior. As a programmer, News Corp.¡¦s business model is predicated on achieving the widest possible distribution for our programming in order to maximize advertising revenue and subscriber fees. Any diminution in distribution reduces our ability to maximize profit from that programming. Even if we were voluntarily willing to lower our earnings potential by withholding our programming from competing distributors, we would be precluded from doing so by the FCC¡¦s program access rules. Similarly, DIRECTV has every economic incentive to draw from the widest spectrum of attractive programming, regardless of source, in order to maximize subscriber revenue. In short, it makes no business sense for either party to do anything to limit our potential customer base or our programming possibilities. Notwithstanding these strong economic and business incentives, News Corp. and Hughes have agreed ¡V as a matter of contract ¡V to a series of program access undertakings to eliminate any concerns over the competitive effects of the proposed transaction. We have asked the FCC to adopt these program access commitments, which are attached to my written testimony, as a condition of the approval of our Application for Transfer of Control that was filed at the FCC on May 2. These program access commitments are largely the same as those required of cable operators, but in some respects go further. These commitments will: ?X Prevent DIRECTV from discriminating against unaffiliated programmers; These extensive commitments apply for as long as the FCC¡¦s program access rules remain in effect and News Corp. owns an interest in DIRECTV. They make it clear that News Corp. and Hughes are committed to fair, open and non-discriminatory program access practices that go well beyond what the law requires of DBS operators, cable programmers, and even cable operators. In any event, neither News Corp. nor Hughes is among the top five media companies, by expenditure, in the United States. As you can see in the chart attached to my testimony, News Corp. is sixth with 2.8 percent of total industry expenditures, and Hughes is eighth with 2.2 percent. Even combining the expenditures of News Corp. and Hughes would place the company fifth in expenditures behind AOL Time Warner with 10.1 percent, Viacom with 6.4 percent, Comcast with 6.3 percent, and Sony at 5.3 percent. If the expenditures from Disney¡¦s theme parks were included in its total, the combination of News Corp. and Hughes would rank sixth in total ¡§entertainment¡¨ revenues. In closing, I believe this transaction represents an exciting association between two companies with the assets, experience and history of innovation that will ensure DIRECTV can become an even more effective competitor in the multichannel market. There will be significant public interest benefits for consumers as a result of this transaction, including bringing more local channels to more markets, innovations such as set-top boxes with next generation interactive television and digital video recorder capabilities, and a diversity program that will set the standard for the rest of the entertainment industry. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your questions. |

St Nicholas Priory, Exeter
St. Nicholas Priory in Exeter was an 11th-century Benedictine monastery used as a merchant's house after the Dissolution. Only the refectory and west range survive, and these are currently being renovated for reopening as a Tudor museum.
Built in 1087, St. Nicholas Priory is one of the oldest buildings in the county of Devon. It housed Benedictine monks for 500 years until it was closed in 1536 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
After the Dissolution, the church and chapter house were demolished, leaving only the west range and refectory. These were converted into a Tudor mansion that housed important figures in the cloth trade. In the mid-18th century, the Priory was the home of Nathaniel Cosserat, a skilled craftsman and Huguenot refugee from France.
By Victorian times, the house was split into several tenements and became delapidated. It was threatened with demolition, but it was purchased by the Exeter City Council in 1913.
After being extensively restored, the Priory was opened as a museum. As of July 2007, it is once again closed for renovations and will reopen as a museum of Tudor life.
What to See
The main building seen in the photos at right is the West Range, which includes a cellar below and a hall for guests above. Across Mint Lane is the old Refectory.

John McCain: rethink your position.
J. McCain and L. Graham owe a huge apology to Senator Ted Cruz. Graham probably thought this information would not become public. It is specifically what he inquired about (along with glued to the hip Ayotte) but with Hagel´s response being a flat "NO", has decided to accept Hagel´s response and like McCain will now vote in favor of his nomination.

I have a theory that the TMNT and Shredder were really just skate park rivals – the Turtles were loose and artistic while Shredder was all about precision and technical perfection. Once a big Hollywood producer got ahold of the story, it quickly morphed into this weird thing with talking rats, vengeance stories and armies of ninjas. Everyone involved got huge checks for the rights to their story, but were forbidden from ever telling the truth, lest it topple the empire of cartoons and action figures that had sprung up. It was supposed to be about the skating, man!

A Christian-oriented screamo quintet with some hip-hop and nu metal influences, blessthefall started in Phoenix, AZ, when high-school friends Mike and Matt (yes, this is one of those bands whose members only use their first names) began practicing together in 2002. Guitarist Mike and drummer Matt found singer Craig and bassist Jared on the local baby-band circuit and formed blessthefall in early 2004. Following a self-released three-song demo in the summer of 2005, guitarist Eric completed the final lineup of the band. An increased local live presence, including many shows played with fellow Phoenicians Greeley Estates, brought blessthefall to the attention of Greeley Estates' label, Science Records (an imprint of Record Collection), which signed the still largely teenaged band in 2006. Shows with bands like Norma Jean and Alesana followed before blessthefall's debut album, His Last Walk, surfaced in April 2007. ~ Stewart Mason

Good spirit
I feel like one of those SNL skits where the guys misinterpret the title of something. I was expecting someone to make a "t*t le" joke. Anyway, while this did not have much effort, it is hard for me to hate because it is some standard stuff from the Clock Crew. Congradulations on being a member of such a popular crew. I suggest that next time, you should put some actual things where those words go. I guess the "words" part speaks for itself.
I guess this was supposed to be a satire or maybe it was just intended to be spam. Either way, I bet you had some fun with this, how long it took. You should also put in some music as even if you intend to make something silly, music is good. I suggest Weird Al Yankovic. The most admirable thing about this is the spelling is good.

I have a birdhouse mounted to the exterior of my classroom windowsill. It's a bluebird nesting box that was specially built as a gift for use in my classroom. The bottom and 3 of the sides are made of wood, and the wooden top has hinges to open and close the box. The really cool part is the back wall of the birdhouse. This is made of plexiglass and it is mounted against my classroom window so students can peer inside for an up-close look at the development and early life stages of a bird.
During the springtime debut of my birdhouse, I was always looking inside hoping to find evidence of birds. After repeatedly peeking into the box and seeing it empty, I was thrilled when I finally looked inside and discovered that it was full of earth materials (moss mostly moss and fur) and had chickadee eggs buried deep inside. After a few weeks, the eggs hatched!
Please excuse the early photos (it took several attempts before I figured out the best angle for photos from within my classroom to avoid window glare and flash issues.) Eventually, I was able to capture a few pretty great photos. It's almost comical to watch the development of the birds as they begin to outgrow the nesting box.
(Thanks to the plexiglass, all of these photos were taken from INSIDE my classroom!)
Chickadee Eggs

Beginning to grow
All cozied up
Getting crowded in the nest
Now they look downright silly
My students and I couldn't get enough of these little birds. We were always peeking into the nest. There is an educational value in hatching eggs in a classroom incubator, but this experience had WAY more to offer since we were able to watch all the family dynamics as these young birds developed. It was a truly touching and exciting time in our classroom.
If you're interested in having a nesting box for your classroom, you'll need to do some research.
First of all, find out what kinds of birds nest in your area. Bluebirds are common in my part of Michigan (hence the bluebird nesting box.) It was just a bit of a fluke that chickadees also like the same type of homes as bluebirds. You will also need to investigate what appropriate nesting boxes for the birds in your areas. I was shocked to discover that birds can be very fussy about their housing dimensions. Even the size of the entrance hole is important. I cannot emphasize the value of bird research enough.Once you do your research, you'll need to create a nice, inviting environment for the birds. Here are some general guidelines:
Build your birdhouse, then get it outside as soon as possible.
Birds hate fresh wood. Their home should look and feel as natural as possible. Avoid painting and decorating your birdhouse. It's a waste of time. Build it, then let it sit in the sun, rain, wind, snow, and everything else so it has plenty of time to weather. Chickadees begin hunting for homes during the winter so the sooner you get your birdhouse outdoors, the better. Provide privacy.
Birds won't volunteer to have people staring into their homes all the time. You don't want to scare them away. I taped a dark piece of felt to the window. Lifting the felt allowed the students to peek inside of the birdhouse, and the dark color prevented excessive amounts of classroom light from entering the birdhouse. The darkness provided the birds with a sense of security which encouraged nesting.
Beware of predators.
I was very fortunate to have a tall hedge in front of my classroom windows at the time. The hedge was essential to the security of the birds. It was tall enough to block view of the birdhouse an provided plenty of space for the chickadees and other birds to hop around and find food. Sadly, the hedge removed shortly after the chickadees left the nest. The bushes were definitely an eyesore and the school looks so much better without the hedge, but sadly, the chickadees have not returned since the hedge was torn out. Now the birdhouse is too exposed for predators.
One of the parents hiding out in a nearby hedge
Also beware of wasps. Since the success of my birdhouse, a few others have been added around the school. We've noticed that wasps occasionally come to make a cozy home for themselves as well. Just keep an eye on it and find a brave soul remove any nests made by these pests.
No more hedge outside my classroom...
…Equals a sad, empty birdhouse
The birdhouse still sits in my classroom window (on the off-chance that a sad, desperate, or lazy bird family will come along and be happy for the new home). I know that this is not likely, but a girl's got to hope for something :)

Eagles Onto Bowl Semis |
National Teams - USA Men |
A shorthanded try by Colin Hawley in the first half and a screaming half field burst from Rocco Mauer in the second was enough for the Eagles to put away Kenya 12-7 in the Toyko Sevens Bowl quarterfinals today. The USA will play a very sharp Portugal team next in the Bowl semis. That game kicks off tonight at 10:02 p.m. Mountain/12:02 a.m. Eastern and will be shown live on http://www.universalsports.com. The last time the two teams met, the Kenyans snuck by the USA 14-12 in the bowl final of the Kong Kong Sevens last weekend, so atonement was certainly on the minds of the Eagles. In Tokyo, Kenya was clearly targeting some of the bigger American forwards on attack and the result was their only score of the game. Despite a great effort by Zack Test to track down Kenyan captain Colins Injera, the support came and a simple pop off the deck gave Kenya a centered try they converted to go up 7-5 after Hawley's first half score. Mauer took a hefty shoulder charge by Humphrey Kayange in the first half. Mauer was on a break down the right touchline and space closed up so Mauer dropped it on the boot. In chase, Mauer was first obstructed and then taken out by Kayange. Kenya should have gotten a yellow, but somehow didn't. Karma kicked in though and cynicism in the second half by Kenya provoked the ref into issuing a well overdue yellow. Mauer would have his revenge. Spreading the ball wide, the Eagles looked to capitalize on the man advantage. Hawley was instrumental in releasing Mauer for the go-ahead try in the second half, putting the pacy American into space with a well-weighted pass allowing him to build up a head of steam by the time he caught it. The Eagles held on to the lead despite a late onslaught by Kenya. Zack Test crucially turned the Kenyan ball over and eventually Maka Unufe, the youngster who joined the team this week, got on a half break and knocked it on. Thankfully the Eagles were safe as the ref blew the final whistle, preventing Kenya from one last gasp attack. USA 12 Tries: Hawley, Mauer Cons: Niua Kenya Tries: Ocholla Cons: Ocholla |
