Inquest reveals popular former Evesham United footballer Neil Emms killed himself
10:27am Thursday 14th February 2013 in News By Neil Watts
A POPULAR former Evesham United footballer killed himself, an inquest has heard.
Neil Emms, who died on November 16 and played for the club in the late 80s and early 90s, was found in a car at the car park of William House, Worcester Road, Evesham, with a pipe fitted to the exhaust and fed through a window.
Worcestershire's deputy coroner Marguerite Elcock said the 47-year-old killed himself and died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
He was discovered with his head resting on a pillow and a half empty bottle of tablets in the car.
The inquest at Worcestershire Coroner's Court also heard Mr Emms of no fixed abode was sleeping at a friend's house and had made previous attempts at taking his own life as well as having gone through a difficult relationship breakdown.
Mr Emms, who was affectionately known as Emmsy, also represented Evesham United Old Boys versus a Manchester United Legends team in the opening match at the club's new Jubilee Stadium ground in Cheltenham Road in the summer.
More than 600 people, including numerous former team mates and representatives of local football leagues, attended his funeral at St Peter's Church, Bengeworth, in December.
Loving 'messages to heaven' were also attached to 47 balloons – one for each year of his life – and released into the skies above Evesham.

USC wide receiver Marqise Lee was asked what he would have said in August if told the Trojans would lose four games.
"I would have laughed," Lee said after USC lost to UCLA 38-28 at the Rose Bowl. "There isn't anything wrong with the team. We just make too many mistakes. You never want to lose a rivalry game. I'm very upset."
Lee is generally one of the most upbeat players on the team and he was in good spirits even though he said he was upset.
"It's not the end of the world," Lee said. "We still have next season and the season after that."
Wide receiver Robert Woods said UCLA ran some defenses that confused the offense, especially quarterback Matt Barkley.
"Different looks probably confused him," Woods said. "They did different things that we didn't practice against."

NORMAL, Ill. -- The Athletic Director position at Heartland Community College will stay in place for now.
At approximately 12:40 a.m. Wednesday, following a packed open meeting and a lengthy closed session, the school's board of trustees voted four to three against a cost reduction package that included eliminating the position currently held by Nate Metzger. Metzger also serves as the head baseball coach.
Heartland President Allen Goben had proposed eliminating the position, which would save the school $58,000 a year.
Under the proposal, the work of the Athletic Director would have been absorbed by the Dean of Enrollment Services.
Supporters of Metzger spoke up loudly during the open comment portion of the meeting which lasted more than an hour and a half.
"If you have somebody that already has a full-time job, and you add athletics to it, then clearly athletics becomes secondary and not nearly as important," said Jim Collins of Friends of Heartland CC Athletics. "In our opinion, in order to keep the excellence in athletics and to keep striving for the excellence that's already been achieved, we need to have an AD whose focus is primarily in athletics and not some other list of duties."
Board chairman Gregg Chadwick, who voted against approval, said he would need more time to review the information.
The matter could come up for a vote again in the future.
Metzger's baseball team is playing in the Junior College World Series this weekend.

API Business ROI
Numerous measurements exist for APIs. On the technical level, these metrics are fairly well understood. However, on the business level, there is a great deal of confusion over how the effectiveness of an API program can be accurately measured.
Layer 7's March 14 webinar, ROI for APIs – which will feature input from TechCrunch and AT&T – should help to clear up some of this confusion. In particular, the webinar will focus on how hackthons can be used to gather valuable data for API ROI measurement.
How you measure your API ROI will depend on the purpose your APIs play in the greater business picture. Therefore, to provide a little primer for the webinar, I thought it would be helpful to give examples of a few API business models and how they might generate revenue.
- Per API Call
Text messages sent via an API are billed at $0.01 per message
- Per API Payload
Voice transcriptions via an API are billed at $0.01 per word
- Transactional Revenue
An API call delivers a purchase
- Firehose API

Is the Obamacare ruling good news?
Chief Justice John Robert's atypical alignment with the left of the bench today led the Supreme Court to uphold most of the Affordable Care Act—a move generally lauded by liberals. But we spoke with a number of progressives who see Obamacare's victory as solely a victory for the corrupt health insurance industry, and just another step off the path to a successful single-payer solution.
"This bill was written by and for the health insurance industry," Clark Newhall,a physician and lawyer who is executive director of Utah's Health Justice, told us. "It's always been a bailout. It creates a huge new market of people who are forced to buy a shoddy product from a smarmy industry."
Newhall said insurance industry execs constantly get $200,000 bonuses while health insurance premiums increase two or threefold. The industry found "accomplices in Obama and the Democratic Congress to do its bidding. It creates a government subsidy for these people so in essence this is simply a transfer of government money to the private insurance industry, similar to the bank bailout," he said.
Many left-of-center Democrats, in fact, called on the Court to strike down the individual mandate that requires all Americans to either have health insurance or pay a penalty—the penalty the Court determined to be a tax, and thus Constitutional.
"Obama said this is the only way to cover everyone," Russell Mokhiber, the founder of Single Payer Action who joined with 50 doctors to file an amicus brief with the Court rejecting the individual mandate's constitutionality based on the Commerce Clause. "There are Constitutional ways to cover everyone. Single-payer already exists in Medicare for those over 65 and Medicaid for poor people. There's a simple fix, which most of the western industrialized world has. The only way to control costs and cover everyone is single-payer," he said.
According to Mokhiber, millions of people will still be left lacking insurance. He pointed to his electrician, a 63-year-old postponing a major operation until he can get Medicare in two years. "One hundred and twenty Americans die every day from lack of insurance," he said.
Twenty-six million people in the country are currently uninsured, and the number is expected to grow even with the upholding of individual mandate, physician and congressional fellow Margaret Flowers told us. Although the ACA includes federal subsidies for some low-income people, many don't make the cut. For example, employers with more than 49 employees are required to provide affordable care -- but only for individuals and not their family members. In turn, the family members are no longer eligible for government subsidies, because a member of their household receives insurance from his or her place of work.
The SCOTUS's rejection of the portion of Obamacare that took federal funds away from states that refused to expand Medicaid further places a burden on low-income Americans. "Upholding the requirement that individuals buy private insurance while allowing states to opt out of Medicaid expansion is the worst possible outcome," author Gwendolyn Mink told the Institute for Pubic Accuracy today. "Achieving universal coverage by compelling low income Americans to purchase private insurance may beef up health industry profits but at the expense of people most in need of health care for all."
Over at the Daily Kos, blogger Armando says the nature of the Roberts opinion could have more long-term detrimental effects on federal power in the future. In fact, he said, it's "a shot across the bow to the Supreme Court's New Deal jurisprudence that underpins our modern national government." Rather than simply explain why the individual mandate qualifies as a tax, Roberts additionally took care to describe why it does not fall under the Necessary and Proper Clause or the Commerce Clause.
"Such a conception of the Necessary and Proper Clause would work a substantial expansion of federal authority," warned Roberts, causing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to question why he should "strive so mightily to hem in Congress' capacity to meet the new problems arising constantly in our ever developing modern economy."
This ruling will energize the Romney campaign while putting Obama on the defensive - remember it was ObamaCare that directly gave rise to the massive emergence of the Tea Party, which was a thosuand times more organized and effective than Occupy (who? what happened to them anyway?)
Plus, as you say, ObamaCare was a botched compromise. Liebermann crucially gutted it of it's most "progressive" feature and the health business is happy - many mealthcare stocks were up 10% today!
Roberts is arguably the smartest judge ever to sit on SCOTUS. A brilliant mind.
after Obama's inauguration. Healthcare was passed a long time after that. Their raison d'etre has never had anything to do with healthcare other than it serves as a good motivator for their unfocused rage.
really only started to gain massive popular support when Obama tried to socialize healthcare in the US. Liebermann thankfully nixxed the single-payer option but, even so, the American people became mad as hell and decided to do something about it.
What did happen to Occupy, BTW. Even SFBG has stopped talking about it.
and now they have one of Occupy too. It's hard to understand what you're talking about when you claim the Teabaggers have "massive popular support." Maybe amongst you and your friends they do but most people don't like the Teabaggers one bit.
Pretty much sums it up.
Glad that you hold them in such high regard. Most of us do not.
They have zero interest in your opinion of them, and why should they?
But it's good to know that you're one of that 16%. An overwhelming mandate I might add.
Works for me.
Nothing is stopping you standing for office to make things "better". Knock yourself out.
jesus christ. who cares if the people don't regard congress? because they're supposed to represent the people, not take power and do whatever they want with it because ha ha, they won? you know...the US is supposed to be a democracy. capitalism is supposed to work out for us because its the "most democratic way to do it," not because it gives a few people power and money. But that's how it turned out, and now everyone wants to freaking bow to them for it. Congress is supposed to represent the people! That's the purpose! Lord.
for House or Senate members that you'd prefer to see.
Whining from the sidelines just doesn't cut it nor confer credibility.
Obama seems to be opposed to mandate here, but then who knows what a politician is ever saying?
I do think that the Guardian questioning the mandate is an interesting turn of events.
Individual Mandate + Citizens United = fast track to corporate serfdom as any firm or sector can try to purchase enough elections and create the climate of fear of electoral challenge and can then impose a tax penalty unless we buy their product.
There's enough Swedish meatballs to feed every hostage that's experienced the Stockholm Syndrome given the zeal with which the Democrabs are defending the Heritage Foundation's insurance plan that was also promoted by Gingrich, Dole and Romney.
Obama lost the House in 2010 because he abandoned his base and the base returned the favor and odds appear to be that Obama will lose the White House this November.
to avoid the word tax so as not to alienate people from it, and then it turns out that it is actually a tax?
The citizens are not safe from either party.
Now some right wing idiot is going to call for an abortion tax of 20,000 dollars or some such idiocy.
The slippery slope is real.
Didn't someone run for office in 2008 under the promise to not raise taxes on the middle class and allow the government to negotiate bulk deals with pharma?
Good thing I didn't read his lips.
I keep hearing about this Muslim socialist who wants to destroy the American free market. And I keep wondering, 'Who *IS* this guy they keep talking about??? I want to vote for *that* guy!'
"hate radio"?
Do you find it funny like reading this half baked Guardian stuff, or is because it empowers your sense of self righteous bitterness?
I'm surprised you're not littered with holes considering all the bile and negativity you put out on a daily basis. It must be miserable to be you.
Actually, it is pretty good to be me right about now.
Feeling good today Marcos?
As if.
just torpedoed the liberals by giving them exactly what they wanted. A canny maneuver by a genuine tactician, as a tax can be repealed with 51 Senate votes via reconciliation, the same route by which Obamacare became law. The vulnerable Dems in the Senate already fear November.
Obama is now obliged to defend a massive tax increase in a weak economy as his signature achievement.
Thank you, liberals. Your incessant navel-gazing prevents you from ever seeing the big picture. It's the gift that keeps giving!
There is nothing liberal about ACA. The bankruptcy of American liberalism lain bare in that liberals are falling over one another to defend the Heritage Foundation's idea of "health reform."
The way that politics functions in the US is that the Republicans viciously attack the Democrats and in response the Democrats viciously attack the Democrat base.
of. This can be used by Romney to energize his base. While there is little of risk of ObamaCare being fully implmented as Congress can change it or simply refuse to fund key provisions.
Liberals could find themselves rejoicing in haste and regretting at leisure. Machievelli would be proud.
This is what they get for voting for Obama. I warned them not to get their hopes up too high and they called me a Debbie Downer.
Now they're being amped up by the hype machine again and they're calling me a Debbie Downer again.
How much longer will Americans subject themselves to the herd mentality, a phenomenon which is equally odious on the right wing side?
What's worse here is that the ACA will result in raising as many barriers to care as it eliminates or lowers, and combined with sliding back eligibility ages for Social Security and Medicare, is an effort deny health care and retirement security that has predictable results--culling the herd, working us to death and then disposing of us.
I'm not even a progressive - but at least single payer makes more fundamental sense...
Would rather the Obama v. Romney debate just focus on economic growth - this just throws a wrench in
was back when they had a majority in the House. Chances are come November, the GOP will win the Senate and then ObamaCare will be DOA anyway - they'll either repeal it or refuse to fund it.
In America, we don't do socialism - not even the Democrats.
Your comment is a perfect example of that ignorance.
Bitter real Greg is upset that people don't adhere to his identified versions of socialism.
Socialism to Greg is all the single party failure without all the mass murder that is frowned on sometimes.
Most of the left are useful idiots for the big insurance and drug companies who are salivating over the profits they are going to make from Obamacare.
The rest of us will be compelled to buy expensive insurance which may very well not suit our needs.
Single payer is a non-starter. You are delusional if you think we will get that (and it does have serious problems of its own).
Moving towards a market driven system - with insurance reserved for serious illnesses only, plus real price competition in the marketplace, with some charity to help the poor - is the best way to go.
Yeah, market feedback mechanisms work very well for things like health care.
They may not be good news for everyone but then again this is always the case. We just have to stick together and see what's best from this program, find the sense of it, this would help.

Eric Gordon hasn't made a tremendous number of friends since arriving in New Orleans because of a combination of his (perceived) attitude, routinely bizarre comments he's made to the media, and, unfortunately, a rather poor standard of play.
The first and last of those issues would be far more likely to be excused if, of course, the second did not exist. But between his apparent failure to understand the restricted free agency process and his continual references to his distrust with general managers, his current team inclusive, Gordon has engendered quite a bit of skepticism even amongst potential fans.
And so, this being the internet, his poor play, naturally non-emotive facial structure, and some sports fans' belief that their favorite players play out of loyalty and not for the paycheck have all been tossed into a blender to create a typically foul-tasting trade rumor smoothie. Gordon to the Rockets! Gordon to the Kings! Gordon to the Pacers! Gordon to t-- just trade him, god doumit!
These thoughts are of course linked with more sinister ones -- is Gordon poisoning the minds of a young locker room? I don't know enough to say either way, and even if it strikes me as inane, it's certainly a possibility.
I do think that trading Eric Gordon before February 21, 2013 would be unwise though.
One of the primary arguments for moving Gordon is an advocacy of cap space and flexibility. To an extent, I buy this. Lack of financial flexibility is one of the easiest possible ways to ruin the construction of a team around a young superstar (see: Paul Era, the Chris). Gordon is not on a "full max" yet, since max contracts increase in value with each successive deal, and this is only Gordon's first. Still, ~$15M a year is a ton and quite easily fatal if the player makes it out on the floor just 20 times a season.
But there's another complicating issue here -- the Hornets have $25 million in cap space this summer. That's a tremendous amount of money; the cap limit will be around $60M. What does this mean? For one, it's rare that a team has this much cap space (with as many players already on the books as New Orleans has). Second, it means that the Hornets will have to spend around $10 million just to hit the league mandated cap floor.
As I've mentioned before, I'm not particularly enamored with this year's free agency class, and certainly not with anyone that projects to cost more than 8 or so million. There exists the distinct chance that the Hornets will give out a bad contract or two just to meet the floor, which would be terrible. And moreover, if New Orleans refrains from handing out expensive, long-term deals in the summer, they'll preserve essentially the same amount of cap space for the summer of 2014 -- again, enough to hand out a max deal.
Basically, Eric Gordon's contract will not play a huge role in terms of flexibility until 2015. And that's the number one reason moving him hastily during this next week feels unwise. Gordon's value is about as low as it can go -- he's playing poorly, he hasn't really proved that he's healthy, and there's a perceived notion that not only does he want out, the team is also trying to dump him. It'd be a classic sell-low without any real need to. Unless Gordon blows out his knee completely, the opportunity to move him will exist for at least the next 24 months and change, and there's a distinct possibility that his trade value increases at some point during that stretch.
Could a good trade exist in the next week? Absolutely. But forcing a bad one just to be rid of Gordon would be foolish.

Areas with relatively little influence from urbanisation, transport or intensive agriculture
Additional information
For Great Britain, Finland and Sweden a different methodology has been used, making direct comparisons with the rest of Europe uncertain. Influences from intensive forestry and recreation/tourism not included. The analysis of influences on nature in the map is based on an aggregation of land cover classes for areas with a high potential nature content; i.e. shrubs, heaths, natural grasslands and inland and coastal wetlands. It also includes forests irrespective of management type. These areas are generally susceptible to influences from neighbouring areas with intensive use or which are forming barriers or fragmentation nature areas; i.e. urban and industrial areas, transport structures, intensive agriculture. Water areas (lakes, rivers), grasslands and complex heterogeneous agricultural areas were considered neutral in the analysis = not influencing gravely.

WeatherBug is forecasting a summer season similar to 2012 for much of the continental United States. For summer 2013, it indicated a distinct threat for above-normal temperatures from west Texas across the Great Plains into the central and Southern Rockies, and across the Mid-South. Areas around the Great Lakes and the Southeast coast should favor near-normal seasonal temperatures. Only one small pocket of slightly cooler-than-normal conditions is expected along the coast of the Pacific Northwest.
The WeatherBug meteorologists at Earth Networks analyzed a range of factors – including La Niña and El Niño patterns, climate and sea surface temperatures, and other data – to develop their forecast. Here's what they expect this summer:
Above-normal temperatures from northern and western Texas to Oklahoma and the western plains. Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada, and states in the Southeast, including Arkansas, Tennessee and Alabama, will likely see higher temperatures as well.
While the effects of warmer temperatures will be largely felt by rural areas, several cities have increased chances for above-normal temperatures this summer. Boston and coastal New England have somewhat increased chances for above-normal temperatures, as does Dallas. In the central United States, cities including St. Louis, Memphis, Kansas City and Oklahoma City are slated to see higher temperatures. Houston is expected to see close-to-normal temperatures.
The severe and prolonged drought will likely continue as areas already hard hit by record low precipitation are set to receive below-normal rainfall this summer. Expect drier conditions throughout the central United States, including northern and western Texas, western Oklahoma, areas in the Four Corners states, and regions along the eastern border of California. In these areas, limited rainfall will further task low water reservoirs, increase wildfire risk and challenge agricultural interests.
Out of the entire continental United States, the coastal areas of Oregon and western Washington state are the only areas expected to see below-normal temperatures this summer, continuing a trend from the past few years due to sustained cooler-than-normal water in the eastern Pacific Ocean near the northwestern United States.
Florida's Gulf Coast and the southeast coast of the United States from North Carolina down to Florida will see average temperatures. The states surrounding the Great Lakes indicate normal temperatures for June through August. Large coastal cities, including New York, are also on-track for typical summer conditions. Across the country, Los Angeles is expected to see near-normal temperatures this summer.
"Last year, the mercury soared — making 2012 the third-hottest summer on record in the continental U.S.," said Senior Meteorologist James Aman of the WeatherBug Meteorology team at Earth Networks. "After examining all available data, we expect to see a summer that is somewhat similar to 2012. But one of the biggest stories weather-wise we will be watching is the drought across Texas into the Southern Rockies. When you factor in extreme weather, including severe storms with lightning and tornadoes that are already making their appearance across the country, we will likely be in for an interesting season."

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU football's bowl win by the numbers
2.5 - No one is for certain whether ASU's Will Sutton will return to school next year. But if Saturday's game was the last in the career of the 2012 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, he certainly made it count. Sutton recorded 2.5 sacks en route to the game's Defensive MVP honors.
5 - The number of touchdowns redshirt sophomore quarterback Taylor Kelly accounted for against the Midshipmen, tying a career-high he set back on October 11 against Colorado.
8 - The number of wins Todd Graham recorded in his first season at ASU, surpassing the number he won in his first year at Rice and Pittsburgh. Graham also became the first coach in school history to beat UA and a bowl game in his season in Tempe.
9 - ASU scored touchdowns on their first nine possession's of Saturday's contest. They also averaged more than nine yards per play vs. Navy.
25 - Todd Graham's disciplined ways were on display one last time Saturday. The Pac-12 leader in fewest penalty yards this season had only two infractions for 25 yards in the 34-point win.
28 - The Sun Devils gave up 28 points on Saturday, half of which came with the game out of reach. Coming into the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, Navy had averaged more than 36 points per game.
33 - Until Saturday's win, it had been 33 seasons since ASU beat rival UA and won a bowl game in the same year.
57 - Junior tight end Chris Coyle passed Zach Miller on Saturday for the most receptions by an ASU tight end in a single season. He finished with 57 receptions and five touchdowns in 2012.
62 - The Sun Devils' scoring output in San Francisco wasn't just a season-high, but also a school record for most points in a bowl game and a Kraft Fight Hunger record for most points scored by one team.
159 - Less than a week after the tragic death of his brother, junior running back Marion Grice returned to the ASU football team with a bang. Grice ran for a season-high 159 yards en route to the bowl's Offensive MVP honors.
2005 - ASU did just about everything right Saturday, but most importantly Todd Graham and Co. left with the program's first bowl win since the 2005 Insight Bowl.
2007 - Todd Graham's eight wins in 2012 were mighty impressive considering the uncertainty going into the season. The last time a first-year ASU head coach recorded eight or more wins was Dennis Erickson (10) back in 2007.

Battle raging in woods for C Squadron of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry training
Updated 5:33pm Wednesday 27th February 2013 in Cotswolds news By Laura Shack
IF YOU went down to the woods at the weekend you would have been in for a big surprise.
Territorial soldiers from the C Squadron of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry, based at Somerford Road in Cirencester, were preparing for battle with intensive mock attacks and vehicle exercises at Chedworth Woods.
The unit will be part of the only TA regiment supporting a new Army Reaction force. It also supports the regular army in Afghanistan and a number of the soldiers were recently presented with medals by Prince Edward for their work overseas.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Bath and matches between Wasps and Bath over the years.
Wasps ended this game with seven tries under their belts, but it was a beautifully orchestrated 40 minutes of football from Wasps halfbacks Simon Amor and Alex King that ensured London Wasps had this game wrapped up by half time.
In what was easily Wasps best performance of the season, they looked crisp and sharp, and the finishing was clinical. Edd Thrower was the main beneficiary, scoring four times, with Mark Van Gisbergen, Fraser Waters and Danny Cipriani, on his Premiership debut, adding another three to take Wasps try tally to seven for a convincing victory.
It was Bath who came out of the traps however, and Wasps hardly touched the ball for the first ten minutes. When they did, however, it was decisive. Given a line out on Bath's five-metre line, the forwards were unable to stay on their feet and get the drive on. Instead Amor looked for King, and the fly half used Worsley on his shoulder to attract the contact before the back rower offloaded to Fraser Waters, who went over for the try.
Good work from Amor and Erinle gave Edd Thrower his first try just five minutes later. Amor gathered a fumbled up and under from Bath full back Nick Abendanon and exploited a gap to scuttle into the Bath half. He found Erinle, whose perfectly timed pass released Van Gisbergen up the right wing, Thrower finishing the move off in the corner.
With Amor at the heart of things, Wasps had two more good chances, both falling to winger Tom Voyce in the next five minutes. However, referee Rose first disallowed a Voyce try for a forward pass after Erinle and Thrower had combined to make space for the winger, and then Voyce was tackled off the ball chasing a grubber into the dead ball area to be denied again shortly after, though Rose did not acknowledge the infringement and awarded Bath a 22 drop out.
It was from the 22 that Wasps next score came. Bath centre Eliota Fuimaono attempted a quick drop out, but cannoned the ball directly into Tim Payne. Fraser Waters gathered up the loose ball and attacked, supplying quick ball for Alex King to put Thrower through the gap for the touchdown.
An exchange of penalties by Van Gisbergen and Malone completed the scoring for the first half, though Alex King had to be helped from the pitch at the half time whistle after receiving treatment following a clash of heads with Fuimaono.
Sadly, King did not re-appear for the second half, Dave Walder taking his place. Wasps were soon moving the scoreboard on though. The ever-alert Amor pounced on another opportunity to break 60 metres up field, and though the Bath defence hauled him down, Wasps recycled ball quickly and moved the ball wide for Thrower to stroll in unopposed on the right.
Van Gisbergen, who was not having a good day of placekicking, missed the conversion, his fourth missed kick of the afternoon, and the game restarted with a new referee, Ashley Rowden replacing David Rose who was forced to retire with a hamstring strain.
Bath came back into the game over the next half hour, and though they did not have as much cutting edge as Wasps, patient build up was rewarded with a try for flanker James Scaysbrook, bringing the score to 28-11 with just under an hour to go.
Wasps response was a sweeping attack up the length of the field, finishing in a score for Van Gisbergen. Danny Cipriani, on for Fraser Waters, started the move with a half break through the middle. Quick ball allowed Dave Walder to demonstrate a lovely show and go and release Erinle up the left wing. The pack were on hand to recycle and after Worsley had clubbed up a further few metres Walder moved the ball wide, allowing Van Gisbergen to outflank the defence and score.
It had been a great game for the crowd to watch, and the spectacle had a fitting climax, with three more tries in the last three minutes.
First Cipriani scored with a 75-metre sprint following his interception of Chris Malone's pass, but then Bath winger Stephenson caught Wasps napping, taking a quick free kick and darting over for a consolation score.
It was not yet over though, as Wasps won a penalty in the attacking 22 and Thrower cut through the retreating Bath defence to score with the last action of the game.
'The first ten minutes set us up really well,' said Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan after the game. 'We gave nothing away and that set us into a groove. At the first opportunity we scored, which is exactly the sort of discipline you want to get a win. When we got the opportunities we took them and the players executed very well in attack and defence.'
Paying tribute to his winger, McGeechan said, 'Edd Thrower has worked his way into the firsts following some good performances with the A team, and he has played very well. He has done all the basics well and played a very competent game. When you do that, you find yourself in positions where opportunities come to you.'
On Man of the Match Amor, McGeechan acknowledged, 'Simon Amor was outstanding, today showed what a good competitor he is. He's really settled in here now and was instrumental in the way we played today.'

People today are concerned about health and wellness.
This current baby boomer generation is willing to spend more money and effort than any previous generation on youthful strategies. With so much information available it is hard to know what to believe.
To make matters worse, the medical community often contradicts or does not comment on much of what those in the natural health field recommend.
Today I will touch on one of those subjects. It is about a very popular food substance that receives a good amount of attention. Americans have been so accustomed to modern methods that sometimes we forget to look at things with a fresh view on what our forefathers did for health and what our commercial food industry is doing today.
This substance, as our forefathers ate it, is one of great value to the body in many ways when taken in its unrefined state.
It was also monetarily valuable and was even used as money in ancient commerce. In its current form it is cheap and is in 99 percent of all homes. Have you figured out what it is?
It is common salt. With a few exceptions, all traditional cultures have used salt in one way or another.
Now it is touted as harmful and low-sodium diets are recommended for our blood pressure and heart health. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Early research showed some correlation between salt intake and blood pressure, but that has since been shown to be faulty, as a blanket statement, and sometimes low salt intake can even increase blood pressure!
Yet this is what is preached to us. Studies as early as the 1930s found that a salt deficiency can lead to a loss of taste sensation, cramps, weakness, and severe shortness of breath upon exertion.
Recently, Dr. Staessen, M.D., Ph.D., a blood pressure and heart specialist at the University of Leuven in Belgium, published The Best Evidence Study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
It showed a very slight increase in the systolic blood pressure (the top number which measures the heart at "work" and not as significant as the lower number, which is the heart at "rest") with higher salt intake over time, but it didn't translate into a higher risk of high blood pressure, or heart and blood vessel disorders!
Further, this study also showed that low salt intake was actually associated with a higher heart and blood vessel disease mortality rate.
The authors of the study concluded, "Taken together, our current findings refute the estimates of computer models of lives saved and health care costs reduced with lower salt intakes. They do also not support the current recommendations of a generalized and indiscriminate reduction of salt intake at the population level for everyone."
So, is salt good or bad?
It is both.
Or more specifically, on which kind is consumed. Table salt, as it is known, is highly refined and processed which removes precious important trace minerals leaving behind sodium chloride.
Aluminum compounds, other chemicals, and dextrose are then added to combat the result of such processing before finally bleaching it white.
Does this sound like something you would want to eat daily? I don't think so, but most do not even question it.
Processed foods contain much of this salt as well. Sea salt is closer to what traditional cultures ate and is truly beneficial.
As with most things, industrialization has adulterated this too. So many so-called "sea salt" brands are also highly processed and then bleached white because people expect salt to be white.
The most health promoting salt is extracted by drying it in the sum on seawater in clay lined vats.
The most notable is Celtic Sea Salt that is only about 82 percent sodium chloride; it contains about 14 percent macro-minerals, particularly magnesium, and nearly 80 minerals, including iodine.
This is typically grey in color because of the minerals. If your sea salt is white, it is not much better than table salt. There is also good sea salt that is pink in color as well.
Here are a few facts about using a good salt:
-- Salt has little to do with high blood pressure and heart disease.
-- Low salt intake can lead to insulin insensitivity that can result in type II diabetes, which can truly lead to blood vessel inflammation, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease.
-- Low salt intake can lead to insufficient digestive enzymes which lead to poor absorption of vitamins and minerals. This too can lead to heart disease!
-- Low salt intake can be extremely detrimental to children leading to developmental problems with nerves, muscles, and bones.
-- Overall, limit processed foods for their processed salt content among other non-pronounceable ingredients, and start using Celtic Sea Salt.
This is the only salt I even have in my home. We liberally use it on everything and love its taste.
Traditional cultures didn't have the convenience of our grocery stores, but their food was so much more nutritious in many ways. It isn't feasible to go back into their world, but here are little things we can do to get the most out of our foods and Celtic Sea Salt is one of them.

Kraft Food Groups is recalling more than 7,000 cases of cheese.
HARRISBURG, AR (KAIT/AP) – September trial dates have been set for a man accused of murdering two people in Trumann in September 2012.
The case for 29-year-old John Anthony Arnoult was continued last Friday at the request of Arnoult's defense attorneys.
Arnoult faces two counts of capital murder in the deaths of 56-year-old Constance Cole and 57-year-old John Poff. He also faces an aggravated residential burglary charge. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case.
Cole and Poff's bodies were found September 2, 2012, by a maintenance worker who did a welfare check of the home after neighbors reported hearing gunshots.
Neighbors told police they heard gun shots around 6 o'clock and thought those shots were from dove hunters. Authorities say witnesses told investigators that a car drove away from the home shortly after gunshots rang out.
According to Arkansas State Police and the Trumann Police Department, on September 9, Arnoult was arrested in their deaths.
Trumann Police Chief Chad Henson said police found multiple wounds on the bodies, and a disheveled trailer.
Arnoult is set to go on trial Sept. 15-19, with a pretrial hearing scheduled for Sept. 8 in Harrisburg.

PLATTSBURGH — As John Donoghue built up a sweat dodging the big blue balls heaved his way Tuesday night at Melissa L. Penfield Park, the catcalls rained down.
"Real corporations don't even have to put up this much effort to dodge their taxes," Ellen Lennon hooted.
"We're keeping the pressure on," Betty Lennon yelled.
"You feeling the heat?"
Donoghue, a good sport, agreed to be the stand-in target of the frustrated taxpayers, donning a white T-shirt with "1 percent" scrawled on the front and back.
He was playing the role of the 1 percent of the wealthiest people — namely corporations — in the country that have been the target of the 99 percent, who represent the middle class, over the several months.
"I'll do whatever I can to get the message across," said Donoghue, the president of the Plattsburgh and Saranac Lake Trades Council.
The Tax Day Action Rally was put together by regional union leaders and citizens who are fed up with what they believe is an unfair tax code that rewards the wealthy corporations and punishes the middle class.
Mary Alice Shemo of MoveOn.org said major corporations have it easy compared to the working men and women in the United States when it comes to paying taxes.
"The corporations make huge campaign donations and they target the members of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee because they are the ones who write the tax codes," Shemo boomed into a microphone before the small gathering.
"They've got the best tax codes money can buy."
Shemo said the tax system is not only unfair to the middle-class workers, but to small businesses, the backbone of many local economies.
"Most business cannot afford a team of lawyers to help them with their taxes like the big corporations can," she said.
"It makes for an unlevel playing field."
Dylan Smith, the CVPH Medical Center representative of SEIU 1199, said corporate greed has gotten way out of control.
"Whether to have a 200-foot yacht or a 100-foot yacht are the kind of decisions these guys (big corporation officers) have to make," he said.
"Most people don't want to be millionaires. We just want to live a comfortable life and be part of a community."
Shemo said a proposal in the House known as the Buffett Rule, which calls for a tax rate of 30 percent for filers with annual earnings of more than $1 million, is a good start.
"If we can close the loopholes in our tax rates, too, I think that could help lower the tax rates, but citizens have to be more active in objecting to what is going on," she said.
North Country Congressman Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) was a co-sponsor of the Buffett Rule.
"A fair tax system cannot allow middle-class families to pay a higher tax rate than the very wealthiest Americans, plain and simple," Owens said in a statement.
"Responsible spending cuts and the Buffett Rule are good first steps toward a complete overhaul of the tax code and will allow Washington to take a balanced approach to debt reduction."
Not everyone was in agreement.
Mark L. Barie, chairman and founder of the Upstate New York Tea Party, said the Buffett Rule would hurt Americans more than help.
"This is a thinly disguised effort to raise the capital-gains tax," he said in a statement.
"It will penalize our job creators, and it will shrink our economy."
Donoghue, the makeshift target for the dodgeball game, just hopes something positive can be done to help everyone.
"We are all part of the United States, and we should be united on this," he said.

Mary Hart
Co-Host of Entertainment Tonight
A contemporary television icon and perennial viewer favorite, Mary Hart is the co-host for the #1 magazine in syndication, Entertainment Tonight.
Hart joined Entertainment Tonight as a correspondent in 1982, but within weeks was tapped to co-host the show.
In addition to her ET responsibilities andd acclaim this past year, Hart was inducted into the Broadcasting & Cable "Hall of Fame" and received the American Women in Radio and Television's 1998 Silver Satellite Award. She also hosted the highly rated CBS television special "Ladies' Home Journal Presents 'The Most Fascinating Women of 1997.'"
Born in South Dakota, Hart graduated from Augustana College where she majored in English. As a college student, she reigned as Miss South Dakota, finishing as runner-up in the Miss America Pareant. Hart was inspired to pursue broadcasting when, as a contestant, she realized how much she enjoyed being interviewed on television.
After graduation, she became a high school English teacher in Sioux Falls and, simultaneously, began hosting a local cable show.
Later, upon moving to Cedar Rapids, IA, Hart added a television and radio show to her credits. Hart's burgeoning television career brought her to Oklahoma City in 1976, where she spent three years as co-host of "Dannysday," a noontime talk show on the NBC affiliate. That success led to statewide celebrity status, and she soon relocated to California to further her career. Performing in national commercials and hosting the popular "PM Magazine," Hart impressed NBC, which in 1981 tapped her to co-host the daytime talk entry, "The Regis Philbin Show." Shortly after that series was canceled in 1982, Paramount Domestic Television hired her for ET, where she continues to personify entertainment journalism.
In addition to her daily anchor role on Entertainment Tonight, Hart hosted and executive produced two prime-time television interview specials "Mary Hart Presents: Love in the Public Cye" and "Mary Hart Presents: Power in the Public Eye" in 1991.
A physical fitness enthusiast, Hart's first video "Shape Up with Mary Hart," quickly attained platinum status after its 1989 release. Named one of that year's top 10 home videops by People Magazine, it has sold more than a half-million copies. Her second exercise video, "Mary Hart--Fit and Firm" was released in 1990 and achieved gold status.
An accomplished singer who has performed variety shows in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, Hart also recorded a collection a lullabies, "Songs from the Heart" (Madacy Music Group) in 1994. The album contains a song she penned for her son, "Lullaby for AJ."
She has also hosted the Tournament of Roses Parade (1984-89) and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (1987) for which she has garnered two Emmy Award nominations.
In 1989, she was awarded a star on Hollywood's renowned "Walk of Fame." That event coincided with the landmark 2,000th episode of Entertainment Tonight, an unprecedented feat in television syndication history.
Involved in numerous charitable causes, Hart serves on the board of directors for the National Childhood Cancer Foundation. She is also a ChildHelp Ambassador, combating child abuse across America; and has co-hosted the Children's Miracle Network Telethon for 15 years.
Hart and her husband, businessman Burt Sugarman, live in Los Angeles with their son, AJ.

Pegasus production takes a quirky look at Dickens
2:20pm Friday 7th December 2012 in News
CHILDREN and the young at heart are packing out Oxford's Pegasus Theatre for a quirky take on Charles Dickens.
This year's Christmas production at the Magdalen Road theatre is What the Dickens?, presented by Gonzo Moose theatre company, described as a physical comedy fairytale.
The audiences are immersed in an interactive Victorian experience with characters from history and fiction as soon as they enter the building, then are introduced to rookie reporter Charles Dickens as he stumbles on the story of a lifetime.
Gonzo Moose director Mark Conway, who plays Dickens, said: "The best way to describe it is a Dickensian comedy mystery with lots of visual gags for the kids and verbal gags for the adults, so it works on two levels."
It launched last Friday and will continue until December 30, with special school showings alongside evening performances.

Diagnosis and Screening for Cytomegalovirus Infection in Pregnant Women in Cuba as Pronostic Markers of Congenital Infection in Newborns: 2007-2008

Background: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has established itself as the most significant cause of congenital infection in the developed world. The objective of this research was prenatal identification of pregnant women at risk for developing active infection due to HCMV as well as to diagnose congenitally infected newborns. Methods: A diagnostic algorithm based on specific immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgM, and, IgG avidity was used to screen serum from 1131 pregnant women enrolled prospectively from 3 municipalities from Havana City, Cuba during 2007–2008. Qualitative multiplex nested PCR and quantitative real time-based PCR testing for HCMV DNA were performed on urine and saliva specimens from women detected with active infection and from their newborns. Results: Most women were seropositive to HCMV (92.7%), with 2.38% (27 women) having active infection. Primary infection was detected in 20 pregnant women (1.77%) while 7 patients (0.62%) had active nonprimary infection. HCMV DNA was detected in specimens from 9 of the 27 pregnant women by both PCR methods. HCMV congenital infection was diagnosed in 12 (1.06%) of the 26 live children born from 25 mothers with active infection, for a vertical transmission rate of 46.2%. Two fetal deaths were reported from 2 women with active infection; furthermore 2 newborns were symptomatic at birth and 2 showed sequelae during the follow-up done until 6 months age. Conclusions: Mothers with active infection during the pregnancy and with HCMV excretion had significant risks, RR = 1.16 and RR = 1.35, respectively, to have congenitally infected children.

Spinal Nerve Roots
Spinal nerve roots branch out from each side of the spinal cord and then join to form the spinal nerves, which pass through openings between the spinal bones (vertebrae) and then form branches that extend throughout the body. Each spinal nerve is attached to the spinal cord by two nerve roots.

The Bowling Green City School District has already canceled school 11 times this year because of snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures.
The excess cancelations have forced district leaders to get creative in order to avoid extending the school year. The district will now hold classes on President's day, making up for one snow day.
Leaders are also looking at the possibility of extending the school day, or sending school work home with students. The state now allows districts to use "blizzard bags" to make up for calamity days, which means students complete in-class work at home or online.
At least one district official says he thinks having students in class longer each day may be the best option.
"We believe anytime our students can be in front of our teachers that is beneficial to everyone. Before we take a look at blizzard bags we want to take a look at ways to lengthen the instructional day or add instructional days," said Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Tod Cramer.
The district has not yet finalized a plan, and is waiting to see if Governor John Kasich allows districts extra calamity days because of the extreme winter experienced this year.
Leaders say they will have a plan in place before spring break in March.

As of Monday, October 22, 2012

When you were young, you couldn't wait to escape.
Your old hometown was boring. It was tiny, closed-in, stifling and stiff. Everybody knew everybody's business -- and if they didn't, well, wait five minutes.
It was a one-horse town with one stoplight. It was the least interesting place you could ever imagine. You couldn't wait to leave and move far away.
And in the new book "Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone" by Stefan Kiesbye, four former friends should've gone while they had the chance.
The Big House, which stood just beyond the edge of the small village of Hemmersmoor, was once elegant and imposing.
Its owners, the von Kamphoff family, liked it that way: they used their money and prestige wisely and kept themselves distant from villagers. Their gardens were tended by hired hands. There was a maze behind the huge mansion.
And there were rumors.
By the time Anke von Kamphoff died, however, The Big House had fallen into disrepair so Alek Frick purchased it, intending to restore the mansion to its former grandeur for use as a hotel.
Alek's old friend, Martin Schurholz wasn't sure that was a good idea, though, because the place held old ghosts -- and after the funeral, after Anke's childhood friend, Linde Janeke, had finished desecrating Anke's grave, the house's grounds seemed even more foreboding.
Or maybe the vileness came from the German village of Hemmersmoor itself.
Hemmersmoor was where little boys suffocated their sisters to own their souls, or taunted others with deadly dares. It was where a crazy woman could scream about nine dead child-spirits, and where nine tiny skeletons could be found beneath a local matron's rosebushes.
It was a place of curses and omens, where lies could ultimately ruin a girl's future and her face.
There, the old mill was irresistible to children playing violent games of pretend. There, men made a living in the muck of peat bogs. Within its borders, poor women were beaten to death, along with their children, and their house burned.
And Hemmersmoor was where the baker's son discovered a secret village behind the village, filled with buildings that everyone knew were there.
Looking for a jump-and-scream fright for your Halloween pleasure? It's not here. "Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone" is more subtle than that.
Starting with a shocker at a gravesite, author Stefan Kiesbye layers on the squirminess thinly and slowly. His story stretches through the childhoods of five young people who each hold terrible secrets about which the others seem to know, culminating in an ending that, well, all I can say without ruining the story is to keep your eyes open.
Then again -- with a book as taut as this one, you might not be able to close them.
So when the wind howls this Halloween and there's a scratching at the window, grab this book and make yourself uncomfortable. For chill-lovers like you, "Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone" is a tale you can't escape from.
"Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone" by Stefan Kiesbye, copyright 2012 by Penguin, is 198 pages and sells for $15.

The weekend's other opens, meanwhile, had disastrous debuts, with the Weinstein Company's Doogal (also not screened for critics) earning only $3.6 million despite appearing on more screens than Family Reunion, and Running Scared taking in just over $3 million, barely good enough for the ninth-best total of the weekend.
The news was not all bad for Paul Walker, however, as his Eight Below, though it slipped to second after last weekend's strong debut, finished with a healthy $15.7 million, down just 15% from its opening numbers. The Pink Panther continued to defy expectations in its own right, and managed to stay above the $10 million mark for the third straight week, ending up with the weekend's third-highest total at $11.3 million.

Sample Report
Though Sam Francis developed paintings of monumental scale with all-over patterns of monochrome color just a few years after the initial triumph of the Abstract-Expressionists, he did so in Paris. During his eight years there, he evolved as one of the most masterful painters of the 20th century, but being away from New York undermined the critical reception for his work. In the years since, the writing and scholarship has rarely measured up to his stature. That begins to change with the recent University of California Press publication of Sam Francis: Catalogue Raisonné of Canvas and Panel Paintings, 1946-1994.

As I Lay Dying singer pleads guilty
10:24am Thursday 27th February 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
The lead singer of Grammy-nominated metal band As I Lay Dying has pleaded guilty to trying to hire someone to kill his estranged wife.
Timothy Lambesis pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of murder on Tuesday in Vista Superior Court, near San Diego. He remains free on bond until his sentencing, which is set for May 2.
Prosecutors say the 32-year-old singer was recorded telling an undercover agent that he wanted his wife killed. He allegedly told a man at his gym that she was making it difficult for him to see their children and impossible to complete their divorce.
As I Lay Dying formed in San Diego in 2000 and has released six albums, including 2007's An Ocean Between Us, which reached number eight on Billboard's charts.
