Peter Jursynski, Wise Beyond His Years
With Diana Nyad attempting to swim 165K from Florida to Cuba, it appears so.
59-year-old Peter Jurzynski is 59, is training in the cool waters of the English Channel in hopes of yet another successful English Channel swim this summer. With 14 successful channel crossings, Peter knows what it takes, especially after his open heart surgery last year.
Wise mature swimmers take it slowly. Peter started training with 20-minute sessions and gradually built up to workouts of two hours and longer. "I'm trying to increase time in the water. Obviously, cloudy and windy days require more of a challenge, yet I appear to be adjusting far better this year. I am mature enough, after all these years, to know that nothing is guaranteed in the English Channel, yet I am extremely optimistic."

2014 Global Open Water Swimming Conference
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California.
The Global Open Water Swimming Conference is a conference on the sport of open water swimming, marathon swimming and swimming during triathlons and multi-sport endurance events.
The conference which has been attended by enthusiasts and luminaries from 6 continents, is devoted to providing information about the latest trends, race tactics, training techniques, equipment, psychological preparation, race organization and safety practices used in the sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons.
The conference's mission is to provide opportunities to listen and meet many of the world's most foremost experts in open water swimming, and to meet and discuss the sport among swimmers, coaches, administrators, event organizers, sponsors, vendors, officials, escort pilots, and volunteers from kayakers to safety personnel.
Dozens of presentations at the 2014 Conference at the Mount Stuart House cover numerous aspects of the vast and growing world of open water swimming where attendees can learn and share the latest trends, race tactics, training modalities, swimming techniques, equipment, race organization, logistics, operations, and safety practices for open water swimming as a solo swimmer, competitive athlete, fitness swimmer, masters swimmer, triathlete, multi-sport athlete, administrator, race promoter, sponsor or referee.
The conference was first held in Long Beach, California as part of the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. It has since been held on the Queen Mary in California, at Columbia University and the United Nations in New York City, and in Cork, Ireland. This year in September, it comes to another iconic location, the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
"The Global Open Water Swimming Conference was started due to the desire and need for athletes, coaches, referees, administrators, race directors, promoters and sponsors from around the world to share, collect and learn information about the growing sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons," said founder Steven Munatones. "Other swimming conferences usually offering nothing on open water swimming or perhaps a speech or two, but we thought open water swimming deserves its own global conference. It is great that the community shares its information via the online social network, but there is nothing like meeting other open water swimming enthusiasts face-to-face and talking about the sport from morning to night."
Speakers at the conference include English Channel swimmers, ice swimmers, record holders, renowned coaches, world champions, professional marathon swimmers, renowned race directors, officials and administrators from the Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
"Because the audience is passionate and educated about the sport and its finest practitioners, the Global Open Water Swimming Conference is also the location of the induction ceremonies for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the annual WOWSA Awards that recognize the World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year, and the World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year. Special Lifetime Achievement Awards are also occasionally presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport over their career."

The Other Shore
The Other Shore follows world record holder and legendary swimmer Diana Nyad as she comes out of a thirty-year retirement to re-attempt an elusive dream: swimming 103 miles non-stop from Cuba to Florida without the use of a shark cage. Her past and present collide in her obsession with a feat that nobody has ever accomplished. At the edge of The Devil's Triangle, tropical storms, sharks, venomous jellyfish, and one of the strongest ocean currents in the world, all prove to be life-threatening realities. Timothy Wheeler's documentary brings Diana Nyad's extraordinary adventure to life as Diana sets out to prove that will and determination are all you need to make the unimaginable possible.
2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...
Preview the Open Water Swimming Almanac:
The trends are very clear.
The tide is rising for open water swimming.

A decade ago Facebook started in a college dorm room. Today it has more than 1.23 billion users worldwide. That's more people that live in any country except China. As the company celebrates its 10th anniversary we scroll back on our timeline way back to 2004.
The year 2004: USHER, Ludacris and Little John had the hottest song. George W. Bush accepted his second Republican nomination for president. And in a Harvard dorm room, a company called TheFacebook was formed. TheFacebook eventually dropped the "The," and the company has grown into a global success. The company celebrated with a birthday song to itself. The rest of us celebrated by doing what nearly 143 million users do every day: checking statuses, liking pictures.
Lance Ulanoff, editor of mashable.com, an online news site that covers all things digital, authored an article on how Facebook has changed the world, everything from our interactions with each other to politics and privacy. So are the social media giant's best days behind it? Ulanoff says he doesn't think it's going anywhere, but he says he can't say where Facebook will be in 10 years.
We assume someone will update their timeline and let us know how it all turns out.

Village Des Bories Gordes France
If you have ever built a stone wall for your garden, then you can certainly appreciate the amount of work that went into building the Bories of Gordes. Built sometime between the 7th and 18th centuries, these huts and outbuildings, 28 in all, form a tiny village with everything from sheep pens to granaries and goat pens and houses.
Since it isn't a very large open air museum, it is a visit that you can fit into an morning or afternoon and still have plenty of time to sample the rest that Provence has to offer.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Product Description
Testing confirms that our Zip Briquettes reach optimum cooking temperature quicker and stay hotter for longer. This means a shorter wait to start barbecuing, high enough temperature to ensure your food is thoroughly cooked and plenty of time to cook large amounts of food!
Zip Briquettes impart a delicate hardwood flavour into all of your barbecued foods.
Superior to traditional briquettes, Zip is 100% natural and does not contain any mineral coal, chemicals, or other fillers. This results in a more consistent burn without excessive smoke or objectionable fumes or smells - ensuring that the natural flavour of your food is delicately enhanced.
Zip Briquettes leave less ash than other leading brands - so it's easier to clean up!

Prepare & Use
(If using starter fluid, refer to the manufacturer's instructions).

2. Light the firelighter wrappers. Always keep the barbecue uncovered until ready to cook.
3. Allow 20-30 minutes for the briquettes to ash and glow before cooking. Try spreading them out evenly in a single layer if you want a gentler cooking result.
-Do not use indoors
-Never use petrol to light briquettes
-Do not add lighter fluid directly to burning or hot charcoal.
-Never leave a barbecue unattended.
-After cooking, make sure ashes are completely coal before discarding

great for a braai
Worked perfectly for our SA style braai - held heat for ages

OK for small jobs
I usually use Heat Beads but found them a tad smoky at light-up so I thought Id try the Zip coals. They lit cleanly but died at around one hour. Heat Beads manage 2 and a half hours at full heat and keep going for another 30 minutes. Verdict ? OK for burgers and the like, barely sufficient for a decent sized chicken and useless for ribs, legs of lamb, beef joints or shoulders of pork. Amateur stuff !!

Great Product
As a South African now living in the UK and obviously very partial to BBQ's or a Braai as we like to call them, I have really battled to find a decent charcoal product. I discovered this product at Waitrose about a year ago and have been using it ever since as it gives the meat a really nice natural charcoal grilled flavour, without the harsh aftertaste present in most less natural briquette products on the market.
09 May 2011
Easy to BBQ
I found this product last year in Tesco and have come back for more now that it's BBQ time again. The coals are a good size and stayed hot enough to cook BBQ food for 10 family and friends. I had some lovely compliments about how good the food tasted and how nice the flavour of the meat was. I'm not expert at lighting BBQs but I can light these coals with a few zip firelighters and then we are away. I have recommended these briquettes to my sister who also loves them too.

SFA Track & Field Names Team Co-MVPs
June 30, 2013
The Stephen F. Austin men's and women's track and field team named co-MVPs announced head coach Phil Olson Sunday afternoon. Senior distance runner Lauren Smith and sophomore thrower La'Tricia Griffin received Ladyjack team MVP honors, while senior thrower Jon Arthur and junior sprinter Cass Brown-Stewart earn men's co-MVP recognition.
The SFA men and women dominated the Southland Conference in 2013 sweeping the conference indoor and outdoor track and field titles. It marked a conference record 10th consecutive title for the Ladyjacks (five indoors and five outdoors).
Arthur capped his career by advancing to the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships this past season. A second-team outdoor track and field All-American, Arthur set school records, and won league titles in shot put and hammer throw.
Arthur was just as dominant during the indoor season taking the conference titles in the shot put and weight throw. The school record holder in the indoor shot put, he also advanced to the national indoor meet in the event.
Brown-Stewart turned in one of the most electrifying seasons in school history. He finished the year with six all-league honors, three conference titles, two All-America honors and numerous school records. After winning the conference outdoor 400-meter title, and rallying the 'Jacks' 1,600-meter relay team to an outdoor conference title, Brown-Stewart set his sights on the National Championships where he earned third-team All-America honors as member of the relay team, and first-team All-America honors with his seventh-place finish in the men's 400 meters.
Brown-Stewart had one more highlight remaining for SFA fans in 2013. His school-record time of 45.62 in the semifinals also guaranteed him a spot at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where he placed 28th overall.
Smith has been one of the league's top distance runners during the course of her career. She recorded five top-four finishes, including three all-conference honors in 2013. Smith's three All-SLC honors came in the indoor 3,000 and 5,000 meters and outdoor 10,000 meters where she recorded runner-up finishes. She also added a fourth-place finish in the discus to help the 'Jacks secure the outdoor team title. Arthur earned All-America honors in the shot put during the outdoor season by finishing 13th in the event.
Griffin finished the season with two individual titles, and three all-conference honors. Griffin swept the conference titles in the shot put. She recorded a throw of 49-10.50 during the indoor season to take the title by more than a foot. She followed that up with a mark of 50-3.25 to win the event during the outdoor season, and eventually advanced to the NCAA First and Second Round meet in Austin, Texas. Griffin also added an all-conference honor in the discus throw with a third-place finish.

Lighting for the current run of the TV series of Pop Idol features 30 James Thomas Pixelline battens, supplied to the show by lighting contractors VLPS, specified by lighting designer/director Al Gurdon.
Pop Idol is the UK show the provided the template for American Idol, the series that made Justin Guarini and Clay Aiken household names.
The final 12 episodes of the popular series are being recorded at Fountain Television Studios in Wembley, London, following the early rounds that were shot at Teddington Studios.
Lighting is being programmed and operated by Mike Owen using a Virtuoso VX console. and the rig features over 100 Vari*Lite automated luminaires, assorted PARs and conventionals as well as the 30 Pixelline units.
The Pixellines are being used upstage in a broken up matrix-style--15-wide and 2-high-- to illuminate the back wall of the set, a large translucent metallic structure. They're used to create different looks and effects, and as an alternative to a traditional cyc. The units are being run in their fully expanded DMX mode.
Pixelline is proving to be a highly in-demand rental item generally, and VLPS now has over 78 battens in stock, which are out most of the time. Keith Duncan of VLPS continues, says that Pixelline has been recently chosen by several top UK-based LDs--including Vince Foster, Andi Watson, Andy Liddle, and Dave Byars--for high-profile events, festivals, and tours. Pixelline has also been used on other TV shows including Granada's Stars In Their Eyes and the recent MTV Awards in Edinburgh last week.
The ability to feed video signals into the Pixellines is also generating huge interest from LDs and programmers. Achieved via a number of different software packages including James Thomas's proprietary PixelDrive, this vastly reduces the amount of programming time needed to produce highly complex 'liquid' effects. The whole concept of controlling LED lighting fixtures with video input offers immense creative scope.
VLPS has used Pixelline on a miscellany of shows, from awards ceremonies to the recent Alton Towers end-of-season fireworks spectaculars, which featured 25 units. Eddie Izzard's LD Alex Saad has also specified 25 units for the comedian's much anticipated UK arena tour in December.

Reviews for Sheepherder's Breakfast
Sort By :
My husband and I enjoyed this recipe for dinner. We are vegetarians so I substituted Morning Star soy bacon in the recipe. I will make this recipe again. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Pauletta.
How delicious is this? Was a hit, and a great breakfast for campin.g I didn't use frozen potatoes though, it did take longer to cook but it was fresh. A keeper.
I make this often, when I have leftover ham I chop it and use that instead of bacon. I have also used browned breakfast sausage when I had no bacon or ham.
This has been a breakfast favorite when all six of our kids are home since it was first published in TOH. The only change I make is using the whole pound of bacon since we enjoy the flavor of bacon. It's also a good supper dish.
I made this tonight. It was very easy to make and so delicious!!! My boyfriend requested it after I posted it on FaceBook because it looked yummy and fortunately we had everything to make it already. I would recommend this in a heartbeat and kids would love it as well!!!

text: Central to Warren Wilson College's stated mission is the triad of work, service and academics. But this leaves out the fourth, and probably most important, area of student learning at Warren Wilson--social life--the exchange of students with each other in dormitories and in group activities of all kinds including, of course, conversations at work or in class. This book is dedicated to the high priest and chief shaman of Warren Wilson's weekly social life, Dustin Rhodes, who will leave a void when he spirits away to Washington at the end of this school year. With his crew of magical elves and fairies, whose photographs lead off this book, Dustin has created years of rollicking good times, just a sample of which are in these photographs. Weekly, his crew organizes dances, oriental teas, a circus and so much more. In this book there are photographs of, first, the Activities Crew, then of the Halloween Dance, followed by a visit by Santa to the Cowpie Cafe, then the crescendo of the late winter Drag Show and finally, Mayhem, the end of the year work crew parade.

"This is a day that we look forward to every year," McDaniel said. "We've always had a lot of entrants, and we can't wait to see how many come out this year. We are expecting at least 150."
The car show, which is sponsored by the Nauvoo Historical Society, will be one of the first guest appearances for the newly crowned Miss Alabama Chandler Champion, who was crowned Saturday at Samford University's Wright Center. Miss Walker County 2013 Allison Farris will also make an appearance at the car show.
"We have a long history with Miss Alabama and Miss Walker County," McDaniel said. "They always come to the car show. We are usually Miss Alabama's first big appearance."
Registration for the car show is set for between 8 a.m. and noon Saturday. Participants may also pre-register by sending a $20 check or money order to the Nauvoo Historical Society, P.O. Box 157, Nauvoo, AL 35578.
Participants should also include their name, address (city and zip) and vehicle information.
The car show is open to cars, trucks and tractors. A shirt and dash plaque will be given to the first 150 registrants. Participants will also be entered into drawings for door prizes and cash giveaways. Chances on a 50/50 pot will also be sold.
McDaniel said food, drinks and ice cream will be available for purchase at the event. He said vendors are also welcome and should contact Nauvoo Town Hall at 205-697-5890 for more information.
For more information on the 18th annual Nauvoo Car Show, contact McDaniel at (205) 697-5652.

Did anyone else appreciate the irony of a tour titled Deep Web and sponsored by wordpress.com taking place in the vintage debris of a venue so ancient it hardly has toilets, let alone Wi-Fi.
Or was the PNE Forum crowd too stoned and sweaty to care?
The old, cavernous room certainly conveys an underground vibe fitting an artist like Childish Gambino. He certainly isn't what one expects of the mainstream.
The rapper identity of comic/actor Donald Glover may have found his name on the Wu-Tang Name Generator, but the former NBC Community cast member isn't letting algorithms handle the composing.
The steady rise in his stature is paralleled by the precision freewheeling of his 2011 major-label debut Camp and last year's because the internet.
How can something be both loose and razor sharp?
It's in the way the nine-piece backing band recreate the beats Glover and co-producer Ludwig Goransson devise with note-perfect replay, but still leaves room for plenty of crowd interaction and showmanship.
The R & B/hip-hop hybridity of songs such as The Worst Guys and the aptly titled The Party is addictive. Gambino has great flow and is a dynamo in nerd shorts doing a rubber-legged frontman shuffle one moment and some sort of stomp along the next.
Not many hip-hop acts are this animated on stage.
Apparently Gambino knows what's between his legs too, so he doesn't spend all his time grabbing his crotch to clarify. Rather, he shifts between Marvin Gaye-esque crooning on I. Flight of the Navigator before launching into a lightening rap shrouded in a single spotlight followed by what almost appeared as blueprint images for a silicone chip.
Cool on multiple platforms.
Oh yeah, an arena show in terms of production right down to some — actually the best — sound I've ever heard in the echo chamber room.
Did it leave people feeling "Roscoe's wetsuit?" Somewhat if you judged the bar graph reporting on the backing screen. But I'm not sure that a clear definition of that phrase Glover has tweeted and used in song lyrics has ever been given.
What was clear was that the all-ages audience was catching a spectacle that will deserve universal "likes" when all of the terrible phone-filmed and recorded versions are posted.
Anyone unfamiliar with Gambino's work would do well to pay a visit to a body of work as visionary and swaggering as Kanye West with the added flavour of a sense of humour.

Loved the routine, however, I was using a 15 lb weight and could only do half the workout. Would like to have known what they were using for safety too. It was only my second time doing kettlebells.

The original kit was sent with a four-pound Kettle Bell which is probably the best weight to start with.
We will add this info to the description. Thank you, the Gaiam TV Team

I like this one! Really get a good workout in less than 30 mins.

I love, love, love working out with kettlebells. I have been working out with them since early January (about 4 months). However, I stopped this video after 18 minutes because I didn't think the exercises were safe for the lower back. I have a set of kettlebell work-outs from Kettleworx and I think it is better to stick with them for my kettlebell workouts. Here are the reasons for staying with Kettleworx: focus is on good form and there is a wide variety of exercises for all muscles of the body during each workout. When just one or two exercises are done at such a fast pace (as in the Kettlenetic workouts), your muscles tend to weaken and injury can occur.

I have taken classes before and the moves were similar. If you are using anything heavier than the 3lb kettle bell that they are using, you have to go slower. I was using a 10 and realized this quickly.
Great video.

I looked at amazon where they sell this set, the kettlebell it comes with is 4 lbs.
, posted on April 24, 2012
I am an intermediate. Have had some personal training with kettlebells and am familiar with most moves. She does not state the weight of the bell she is using. I used a 10lb and found that many moves seemed too fast for the weight.

Problem only in Safari 6 - CSS expert needed
I have this:
...which works perfectly in every browser except Safari 6. If you change the browser width you will see two identical images (in every other browser) that remain the same size.
In Safari 6 the one on the right doesn't play ball.
Just a note, adding:
svg {max-height:100%}
I have half an idea why this is happening (but no ideas as to a fix) but I guess a CSS expert will know straight away.
Any ideas?
(btw. I mean Safari 6 on Mac, not iOS 6 Mobile Safari which actually works great)

Last Wednesday, Philadelphia Phillies catcher Brian Schneider injured his hamstring while running the bases. It was initially thought to be a moderate strain that would keep him out for a couple weeks, but Matt Gelb tells us there's a little more to it than that:
Schneider could be out for a month. Amaro said the hamstring strain is fairly significant.
The good news for the Phillies is that they have welcomed starter Carlos Ruiz back to the lineup after a stint on the disabled list, so while they lost one catcher, they gained another. Still, that's a ballclub that's had more than its fair share of significant injury problems in the early going this season, and Schneider is just the latest example.
The 34-year-old Schneider has batted 9-for-52 on the year with two home runs. His extended absence means temporary job security for Dane Sardinha, who has never come to the plate more than 49 times in a Major League season.

L-ACOUSTICS US has appointed BYZ International to direct its sales efforts within the Latin American market.
Based in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Weston, BYZ is led by Adinaldo Neves whose team is already spearheading all L-ACOUSTICS product sales to Mexico and Central and South America.
Neves' pro audio industry beginnings trace back to the early 1990s when he started designing concert systems and studios in Brazil with equipment distributed, at that time, by Manny's Music. Over the past ten years, he has been involved with sales and marketing for Digidesign, Loud Technologies, and other well-known companies in Latin America. Possessing a strong background in electronics, software and systems integration, Neves co-authored the book Tecnologia aplicada à Música (Technology applied to Music) and has written technical articles about sound reinforcement and digital audio in many South and North American audio magazines.
"We feel very fortunate to have found Adi for this position," says Paul Freudenberg, vice president of sales and marketing for L-ACOUSTICS US. "His rich background in electronics, sales and marketing, combined with his intimate familiarity with the Latin American market, will undoubtedly afford us an increased presence from Baja California to Cape Horn."

CRIME COMMISSIONER: Triumph for Tory but apathy reigns at polls (From Witney Gazette)

CRIME COMMISSIONER: Triumph for Tory but apathy reigns at polls
9:00am Saturday 17th November 2012 in News By Ben Wilkinson, Crime Reporter, also covering Barton and Wood Farm. Call me on (01865) 425427
TORY Anthony Stansfeld will start work as the region's police and crime commissioner backed by only one in 20 people voting for him and an apparent protest against the new post at the polls.
His victory to be installed as the new man overseeing Thames Valley Police yesterday was overshadowed by a poor turnout across the Thames Valley with just 13.3 per cent of the 1.69m potential voters bothering to turn out. In Oxford it was down to just 10.9 per cent – a fraction of the 29.4 per cent of people who voted in this year's city council elections.
And as well as apathy, commentators said the election drew a large protest vote with 4.7 per cent of Oxfordshire ballot papers rejected by authorities for being spoiled or marked incorrectly. That compares to just 0.53 per cent in the city council elections.
Mr Stansfeld, the 66-year-old former Army man from Newbury, beat a challenge from Labour candidate Tim Starkey, but needed to go to a count of second preference votes to do so.
He polled 76,011 votes as people's first choice for commissioner compared to Mr Starkey's 56,631. Because he did not have an overall majority, voters' second choice of candidates were counted, leaving the Tory the winner with 94,238 votes in total compared to Mr Starkey's 70,403.
But that total equates to just 5.5 per cent of every eligible voter in the Thames Valley selecting him as their first or second-choice candidate.
However, last night he defended the new £85,000 role against the poor turnout and high number of spoilt ballots.
He said: "I don't think it undermines the idea. Having an election in November with dark nights makes it very difficult for people to vote. The next time, when it is held with council elections, the turnout will be highly different."
When asked about the spoilt ballots he added: "People did not understand the election and said it was politicising the police.
"In fact this is handing down power and it is a far more democratic system then we had before."
The new commissioner role, which replaces the system of police authorities, will be to set the police budget and the force's crime-fighting priorities. Mr Stansfeld, whose main office will be in Kidlington, will also have the power to hire and fire the chief constable.
Oxfordshire voted along its recent political allegiances. Mr Starkey won in Oxford but Mr Stansfeld won the other four districts in the county.
Last night city council leader Bob Price said voters who spoiled their ballots were rejecting the whole PCC policy.
He said: "Many people who are very interested in politics have regarded the whole thing as a complete farce.
"They don't see why the system we have at the moment should change.
"I think people were absolutely rejecting the policy."
TaxPayers' Alliance campaign manager Robert Oxley said he had heard about a campaign to encourage voters to spoil ballots in protest.
He supported the new role but said: "Ministers should be held to account for their complete failure to explain the benefits of this policy to the public.
"Clearly a large number of people have spoiled their ballots, and this policy is clearly not without opposition. But it's not about politicising the police, it's about making them more accountable, and the system we have at the moment clearly doesn't do that."
After he as declared commissioner, Mr Stansfeld revealed he would be appointing police authority member David Carroll as his deputy.
Independent candidate Geoff Howard had a strong showing, coming third overall and beating the Liberal Democrats' John Howson into fourth and UKIP's Barry Cooper into fifth.
Another independent, Patience Awe, was last overall.

Let's hope the ballot spoilers have got a taste for this little form of protest. Join us! It can be fun working out what to write, or a fictitious candidate to write-in in protest. My choice, DS James Hathaway would have done a wonderful job I believe. Setting a Cambridge man amongst Oxford police would have ruffled a few feathers I have no doubt :)

: Now you can see the problem with simply not voting. You do get lumped in with the "can't be bothered" majority. At least a spoiled ballot gets counted and seen by agents and candidates. Your non-vote does not. Remember the number of times in the past when a non-vote has been assumed to be a "yes" vote. Can't say that with a message on your ballot paper.
But I think I'm going to get a postal vote in future. Then, in the comfort of your own home you can write what you want. It's a bit obvious in a polling booth you are doing more than making on, or two in this case, crosses!

The whole process is almost criminal in the way so much public money was spent for so long a time on so much, to achieve so little.
At least in some areas there were independent candidates with genuine experience, whereas we in TV just had the main parties trotting out some tired old faces.
All we have achieved is to allow a few old politicos to fatten up their pensions a bit more than they otherwise would have done. And remove almost all the oversight of our police, which now sits in the hands of just one politically oriented commissioner.

Foreign exchange students jump at the chance to come to the United States for an opportunity at the American Dream. Some claim a staffing company in the U.S. promised them nice apartments and jobs at upscale hotels. But they said their experience was far from it.
Yiting Xiao is a student living in China. Last year she said she was given a unique opportunity to live and work in the United States.
She and her friend Zoe Wang said representatives from an American foreign exchange company visited their school and presented the students with several options including apartments and jobs.
"The pictures were quite good. The apartment looked clean, there's furniture in it." Xiao said.
"They told us we are going to have maybe three options to choose over our apartment," Wang said.
The girls said when they arrived in Baton Rouge, things were not quite as they had expected. The apartment complex was well-kept and clean but the unit was bare.
"In our whole apartment there were five students and we had two rooms," Xiao said. "One room slept three students, and the other two students. We have three mattresses in a room and they were in a row."
According to the arrangement by the company, Crowne Partnership, a subsidiary of Hospitality and Catering Management Services, each student is expected to pay a $100 deposit on her apartment and $300 rent a month, but the students said they were told the apartment would be furnished. It was not, and the girls said they were also promised transportation to and from work but they wound up walking 30 minutes each way.
"It's hard," Xiao said. "You feel tired. You know Louisiana's weather is so hot and in the summer it's even hotter."
Xiao and Wang were not the only students who said they had a hard time with the staffing company.
Four years ago, foreign exchange students who were also working for the same company, invited 9News inside their Baton Rouge apartment. Seven of them were sharing a three bedroom unit. They also slept on uncovered mattresses. They washed all of their clothes by hand and dried them on a makeshift clothing line in their apartment bathroom. They also walked long distances to work.
The President of Kergan Brothers, the company over Sonic restaurants, Gary Wilkerson said his company like many others in South Louisiana contracted with Hospitality and Catering Management Services after Hurricane Katrina because they had a difficult time finding employees.
He said a couple of years after he stopped dealing with them, the students kept showing up.
"I believe it was New Year's Day and we had a knock on the door," Wilkerson said. "We were closed and we had about like ten kids that were outside and they said, 'We're here to work at Sonic.' I said, 'Well we don't know anything about you coming in town.'"
Wilkerson said the young students were scared and confused.
"They were literally a ship without a rudder. They had no idea what they were going to be doing," Wilkerson said.
Wilkerson said he got them hotel rooms and found them jobs as car hops at Sonic restaurants in Lafayette and Baton Rouge. He said he tried contacting Hospitality and Catering Regional Manager Norbert Koch to find out what was going on, but Wilkerson said the representative was nearly impossible to reach.
"I don't know that I've even ever met him to tell you the truth. Everything was via email or over the phone," Wilkerson explained. "They would say things like they (the students) misunderstood the instructions, and I don't understand that because for me to get on a ten-hour flight to even get to the states from wherever they are, you just wouldn't do that unless you were crystal clear on what was going on."
When 9News researched Hospitality and Catering Management Services on the Better Business Bureau website, a red alert flashed next to the page.
The telephone number for its headquarters in Chicago is disconnected.
"I would never be interested in going down that path again," Wilkerson said.
Xiao and Wang moved back to China last October to continue their college education. While they said they had a bad experience the first time around they're willing to give their dream another shot.
"Most of the people in America they treated me so nice and made me feel welcomed in there and I still I want to go back," Wang said.
Norbert Koch, the regional manager for the staffing company, did not return phone calls or respond to emails from the 9News I-Team.

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.
