New Hampshire change: Bye, Bedford Falls; hello, Pottersville
Don't look now, but with the proposals coming out of the State House these days, one could be forgiven for thinking that someone was trying to rewrite the Frank Capra film classic into a very bad ending.
Tops on the list this last week: pot-smoking, hard liquor later and expanded gambling.
The House vote on extending "last call'' to 2 a.m. at bars may end up being the last straw for New Hampshire voters who thought they would change things up in Concord this biennium. Apparently, a cabal of Democrats who want more revenue and libertarian-leaning "anything goes'' Republicans decided that selling booze in the wee hours makes perfect sense.
We heard one legislator proclaim that allowing local bars to serve until 2 a.m. would be safer because it would keep more of our drinkers drinking closer to home. If people are driving to another state to drink for one more hour, we think their problems are bigger than a local last call.
But we also heard that "many other states'' allow serving until 2 a.m. Yes, and many other states have income and sales taxes, too. And many other nearby states are sporting slot machines and decriminalizing pot smoking, too.
Keep this up and we can change our branding. Instead of "visit and shop family-friendly, no-sales-tax New Hampshire,'' we can go with "Come early, drink late, and leave your wallet.''

- Pink the color of the day for Rangers
- Deep lineup counters avoiding Hamilton
- Fresh Lowe looks like old self out of bullpen
- Beltre back at third base for Rangers
- Worth noting
ARLINGTON -- Nelson Cruz has started all 34 Rangers games in right field, a big accomplishment considering he has been on the disabled list six times since August 2009 and hasn't played more than 128 games in a season.
Cruz will get a day off soon, manager Ron Washington said Sunday, but not yet. The designated-hitter spot had been tied up for a week by Adrian Beltre, who returned to third base after dealing with inflammation of his left hamstring. Before that, the Rangers had been playing a man down with Beltre out for five straight games.
And the Rangers are also trying to get the slow-starting Cruz back on track. He batted .283 in the last 15 games to raise his batting average to .254 entering Sunday.
Cruz delivered the biggest hit of the night for the Rangers in their 13-6 win over the Angels on Sunday with a third-inning grand slam. He finished 4-for-5 with the four RBIs and raised his average .273."It's going to come soon," Washington said of getting Cruz a day off. "We've got Beltre back. We had to to do what we had to do. Nelson's just gotta suck it up."
The Rangers got a scare with Cruz on Saturday. Cruz was awarded first base by a hit-by-pitch, but that may have been a sell job by the right fielder. It appeared he might not have been hit on the wrist.
Pink the color of the day for Rangers
ARLINGTON -- In honor of Mother's Day and in an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer, players all across baseball wore pink on Sunday.
They wore pink wristbands, put on pink batting gloves, and swung pink bats. After his first at-bat, Josh Hamilton opted to use with the same non-pink bat that he's been using this past week, the one that he'd hit all but one of the nine home runs he's recorded in six games prior to Sunday."I got a little sticker on it," Hamilton said earlier this week. "I'm just hoping I don't throw it in the stands."
"She's a special lady," Hamilton said of his mother. "She took care of me and did all the things a mother does. But she also taught me a little about the game. I love her and I wish she could be here but I'll send her some flowers and say, 'Hi,' to her on TV."
Hamilton is hitting .467 with nine home runs in 18 RBIs in his last eight games.
Deep lineup counters avoiding Hamilton
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers welcome opponents pitching around and or intentionally walking the torrid Josh Hamilton, who entered Sunday's series finale against the Angels with nine home runs in the last six games. The Angels did the latter Friday night with first base open.
The problems are two-fold: Hamilton is difficult to pitch around because he is a free swinger, and he is well protected with third baseman Adrian Beltre batting behind him, followed by Michael Young and Nelson Cruz.
Manager Ron Washington said Sunday that Hamilton doesn't have the plate discipline of, say, a Barry Bonds, who walked 177 times in 2001 when he hit a Major League-record 73 home runs. National League pitchers gave Bonds even more respect in 2004 when he walked 232 times, 120 of them intentional.
"He's a swinger, man," Washington said. "If he can see it and he can reach, he'll go get it. If they decide not to pitch him, I'd like to see Beltre up there. Don't pitch to him, then pitch to Beltre. Don't pitch to Beltre, then pitch to Mike. If you don't pitch to Mike, pitch to Cruz. I don't care. Every one of those guys is capable of hurting you. Maybe they won't. Maybe they will.
"They know Barry can see a couple inches off the plate," Washington said. "They don't know if [Hamilton] can see a couple inches off the plate. I don't know if it'll get to that point. Barry Bonds had a ton of discipline. Hamilton is still trying to acquire discipline. There's the difference right there. If you try to walk Barry, Barry'll let you throw it out there."Young said the Rangers are more than happy to have opponents put Hamilton on base.
"Whenever you give up a free base, it always works for the offense," Young said. "If they try to give up a free base, we'll take it all day long."
Fresh Lowe looks like old self out of bullpen
ARLINGTON -- Reliever Mark Lowe is quietly putting together a breakthrough comeback season, even though he's in his third season with the Rangers.
Lowe entered Sunday's action with the fifth-lowest ERA in the American League at 0.77. He hadn't allowed an earned run since giving up a home run to Tampa Bay's Luke Scott on April 27. But on Sunday, he allowed three runs over two-thirds of an inning in the Rangers' 13-6 win on Sunday to see his ERA jump to 2.92.
Lowe was acquired in the Cliff Lee trade with Seattle in 2010, and pitched in two World Series games that season. He had a 3.80 ERA in 45 innings last year. But Lowe is looking more and more like the pitcher he was in 2009 with Seattle (3.26 ERA) before back surgery set him back.
He is stronger than ever since having the surgery and working with pitching coach Mike Maddux has made his 96-97 mph fastball even more effective.
"The main thing is he's shortened his stroke a little bit," manager Ron Washington said. "Now his fastball is more downhill. There's more quickness and depth on his breaking ball because he's shortened his stroke."The depth of the Rangers' bullpen has helped keep Lowe and the other relievers fresh. He has only pitched on back-to-back days once this season on May 6-7. He went two innings against the Yankees on April 23 for his longest outing since 1999.
Beltre back at third base for Rangers
ARLINGTON -- Adrian Beltre was back at third base on Sunday after being the designated hitter for two days, as Rangers manager Ron Washington tries to ease him back into the field.
"It's a nice day," Washington said. "So we've got him back out there."
Beltre, who missed five games because of an inflamed left hamstring, played third base in the first game of a doubleheader against Baltimore on Thursday. He had been the DH in six of his last seven games.
Washington said the Rangers' playing surface is in good shape -- Beltre missed time in Toronto last week because of the artificial surface at Rogers Centre -- and the weather was improved Sunday after Friday's rain that forced a two-hour delay.Beltre went 1-for-4 with two RBIs in the Rangers' 13-6 win on Sunday and is hitting .310 on the season.
Worth noting
Rangers bench coach Jackie Moore felt light headed during the sixth inning and left the dugout Sunday night. Moore, 73, was transported to Medical Center Arlington where doctors were going to run tests. Moore was feeling better before he left the ballpark and was able to walk to the ambulance. Reliever Scott Feldman is expected to make a spot start Monday against Kansas City, as the Rangers try to get their rotation back in line after Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore. Manager Ron Washington said he will make the decision official after Sunday night's game against the Angels.
Several Rangers pitchers took early batting practice in preparation for Interleague Play beginning Friday in Houston. Washington said the pitchers worked on hitting -- especially bunting -- during Spring Training.
Triple-A Round Rock second baseman Yangervis Solarte had a 22-game hitting streak come to an end on Saturday.
Double-A Frisco shortstop Jurickson Profar extended his hitting streak to 22 games on Saturday with three more hits. Profar led off the 12th inning with a double and later scored the winning run in a 2-1 RoughRiders victory over Corpus Christi.

Former Baylor WR Josh Gordon strongly figures to be the only player selected of eight that have been granted eligibility in Thursday's supplemental draft. PFW surveyed a handful of NFL executives to gauge what round he will be plucked. Several said they would not touch Gordon at all because of considerable character concerns.
"He would be off our draft board if it were a normal draft in the spring," one executive said, citing the documented suspension at Baylor related to multiple positive drug tests and off-field concerns dating back to high school. One GM noted that he did not consider Gordon to be an inherently "bad" kid but was troubled by the way his "history has (had) a way of repeating."
Two other GMs said they would not consider Gordon until the fourth round. Despite possessing elite athletic ability, big, very natural hands and prototype size (6-3 1/8, 224), Gordon is still raw as a route runner, having run a very limited route tree at Baylor. He needs considerable work on his release and has yet to adopt a professional work ethic. However, he showed he could be a big-play, vertical receiver in 2010, playing faster on the field than his low 4.5-timed speeds and remains an intriguing wild card if he passes the top three rounds.
"If you have a strong veteran receiver who can take him under his wing, you could think about it in the third," one evaluator said. "He already missed all of OTAs and minicamps and is going to need time to figure it out conceptually."
He has not played football for two years, having struggled to transition after transferring to Utah in 2011 and not qualifying academically at Houston in 2012.
The team best positioned to roll the dice is the 49ers, who own additional picks in the third, fourth and fifth rounds in 2013, and have taken chances on players with issues. However, after the signing of Randy Moss and the selection of A.J. Jenkins in the first round, the chances of earning a roster spot in San Francisco could be limited. The Vikings also have a luxury fourth-round pick in 2013 acquired from Detroit and could use more weapons for second-year QB Christian Ponder. The general consensus around the league, however, is that the Cowboys, Browns or Redskins are most likely to take a chance on Gordon early.
The way we hear it, the Cowboys do not intend to offer Dez Bryant a second contract and interviewed the Texas-grown Gordon closely. The Browns, who had targeted Gordon's former teammate Kendall Wright with the 22nd pick in last April's draft, worked him out and could stand to improve the supporting cast around rookie QB Brandon Weeden. The Redskins, who invested heavily in Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan in free agency, could benefit from a rapport already established with Robert Griffin III. Gordon has issues not unlike Brandon Marshall when then-Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan selected him in the fourth round in 2006 and are entering a critical season in the Shanahan era.
The Colts, Saints, Eagles, Panthers and Bears also spent considerable time interviewing him and the Bengals and Ravens, with risk-tolerable executives, could be in the running. The Dolphins and Chargers also run offenses that suit Gordon's talents well.
"You don't win building your team with issue guys," said one GM. "I think he is a lot more talented than Stephen Hill, but I would never take him in the second. How many supplemental guys ever amount to anything. By the time he figures it out — if he does — it'll be the second team that benefits. Someone will probably be foolish and pop him in the third (round)."
TCU RB Ed Wesley has warranted some late-round grades from NFL evaluators and has enough vision and short-area quickness to compete for a job, but after clocking in the low 4.7's at a mere 196 pounds, expects to go undrafted.
The intriguing physical talent of Carson Newman LB Larry Lumpkin is overshadowed by a glaring lack of discipline that does not project well to the pro game. Boise State CB Quaylon Ewing, who sources say was slated to get beat out for his job, was clocked with pedestrian times in the low 4.6s. Iowa State OT Adrian Haughton is a career underachiever who could struggle to handle NFL complexities. McMurray WR Houston Tuminello is a possession receiver who clocked times that translate to the 4.7's on a normal surface. Concussion issues could severely limit the chances of Syracuse RB Adam Harris. Multiple off-field arrests are expected to leave Georgia DE Montez Robinson without an opportunity.

SANTA FE, NM -- Mr. Meow is currently in a New Mexico shelter and on a serious diet.
Animal Humane of Santa Fe, New Mexico is trying to adopt out Mr. Meow, the 39-pound cat that was recently surrendered by its owner.
The elderly owner had fed Mr. Meow all the wrong things, treats and hot-dogs; morning, noon and night.
Now, Mr. Meow is a waddling lesson on the results of a junk-food diet.
He's too big to fit on the cat scale, and is now on an exercise program.
The benefit to his size --if any--is the publicity the animal shelter has been getting.. Mr. Meow made his first national TV appearance on the Today Show Tuesday morning.

COTTONWOOD, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a student pilot is recovering after mistaking a road for a runway and crashing his plane into a fence.
The crash happened Monday night at the Cottonwood Municipal Airport.
Cottonwood police say the 42-year-old pilot from Oklahoma told them he thought the runway lights were malfunctioning and thought a road bordering the airport was the runway.
He realized his mistake but was unable to pull up. The plane then hit the fence.
Cottonwood firefighters contained a fuel leak that resulted from the crash.
Police did not identify the pilot. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The plane, a Piper PA28, was heavily damaged.
The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.

Great software for audio recording and editing.
It's pretty easy to use and offers a lot of features that you'd normally have to pay for.
If you are producing music with your computer, have Audacity and LMMS, and you are good to go. I also use commercial software particularly for wav pitching & transposing, Audacity is still the best one.
I have used Audacity for the last five years and have found it to be an excellent sound recording and editing program. I generally use it for teaching English as a Second Language. I either use it to record my own voice or to edit recorded sound from other sources, including the Internet, mp3 recorders, or analog. The recordings end up clear and easy to use for my students. The only real difficulty I have is finding the time to go through every available tool to determine what it does exactly.
Finally a music editor w no games. Saves MP3's after LAME plug-in. Download both w/o fear ! It friggin works without tricks if you want to save projects in other file types. Was nervous when I saw that after I finished my project that you needed to download the LAME plug-in. But rolled the dice and it worked ! Was able to save a perfect, high quality MP3 copy. Dont waste your time with another program called "Free Audio Editor". You have to buy it if you want to save files in anything but their format. A little un-intuitive to use at first. You would think that when you highlight something to cut or copy, that piece thats highlighted is whats gonna be saved. But its actually whats gonna be discarded. But its the opposite when your modifying sections for something like a fade out or in. What you highlight is where the effect will happen. Figured it out after about 30 mins of playing with it. Saved MP3 project sounds perfect ! Was a little desperate when even the stupid, useless audio editor in NERO failed me. AUDACITY came thru !!!

Alameda County added 101 new full-time positions to its workforce at a cost of $93 million to the general fund in the 2013-14 budget year. The county now boasts 9,196 full-time positions.
That information is available on a new government website aimed at making the county's $2.6 billion budget easier to understand by ordinary citizens.
"The County's annual budget is the window to the investments that Alameda County, based on the decisions of our elected Board of Supervisors, makes in the community on behalf of our residents,'' County Administrator Susan Muranishi said in a press release. "This project is part of our long-term effort to facilitate deeper public understanding of our priorities as a County and to encourage more public participation in the budget process.''
Last year, the county's web efforts won an award from the Center for Digital Government for the way the county presents information "cleanly and intuitively within a main website, mobile website and mobile apps."

Kevin Durant scored a career high 51 points and Russell Westbrook added 40 more as the Oklahoma City Thunder's dynamic duo outscored seven other NBA teams in action on Sunday night, but they needed plenty of help to knock off the visiting Denver Nuggets 124-118 in overtime. James Harden rolled his ankle in the second quarter and failed to find range all night, but Serge Ibaka answered the bell with an eye popping triple-double including 14 points, 15 rebounds and 11 blocks. Nineteen teams other than the Thunder played on Sunday night, and none of them recorded more blocks that Ibaka did on his own. The performances by Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka marked the first time in NBA history that a team featured two players with 40+ scoring nights and another teammate with a triple-double. All of this concentrated dominance makes it even more amazing that Denver actually played from the front up to the end of regulation.
The Thunder thrived on the strength of their terrific trio, while the Nuggets -- without Rudy Fernandez (lower back strain), Danilo Gallinari (ankle) and Nene (calf) -- shared the load in every respect. Seven players scored in double figures for Denver, headlined by Arron Afflalo's season-high 27 points and Andre Miller's 21-point, 10-assist double-double. Al Harrington snared a team-high 11 rebounds in Nene's absence, but seven players grabbed at least four boards. Meanwhile, backup bigs Chris Anderson and Kousta Koufos picked up the slack on the scoring front by aggregating 24 points on 11-13 from the field.
The Nuggets managed to stay out in front for most of regulation largely because they never stopped long enough to consider the gravity of the situation. George Karl opted to forcefully dictate the pace of the game by encouraging Ty Lawson and company to attack in the open floor and work quickly half court sets. Denver entered the game as the fastest team in the NBA with the fourth most efficient offense, but their approach on Sunday night bordered on a serial obsession with speed. The action almost moved too rapidly to appreciate Kenneth Faried's early highlight block and Russell Westbrook's poster-worthy response. Whether the Thunder made shots, missed them or turned the ball over, Nuggets players always responded quickly. The behavior almost felt context-neutral. Everything had to happen fast; that felt like the penultimate goal.
For the most part, Denver's run-and-gun style did the job, too. They jumped out to 14-point lead in the second quarter on 52.1 percent shooting and 17 first half assists on 25 made shots, but when things got sloppy in transition OKC put together a 20-0 run fragmented by the halftime break that landed them within striking distance for the finish. Ty Lawson and Andre Miller masterfully operated the up-tempo attack for the majority of the night, and the Nuggets ended up with 72 points in the paint to show for it, but at times the fast break devolved into a mess of turnovers and off-balance shots from sub-optimal spots. In one blink the Nuggets surged to a 46-32 lead with 6:29 in the second quarter, but in the next blink they slipped behind 63-58 with 8:28 left in the third.
Denver operated in deadly fits and starts, but OKC sparkled when Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka shared the floor. Those three combined to score 55 of the Thunder's 58 second half points on 24-32 shooting, as everything they touched turned to gold on offense. Miller and the Nuggets opened the fourth quarter on a 10-1 run and pushed the Thunder to the brink -- OKC only led for 19 seconds in the fourth. Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka scored their team's final 27 points in regulation to get the contest to overtime. Durant's 51 points on 78.7 percent True Shooting marks one of the most spectacular individual offensive performances of the year, but the game still proved too close to call in regulation.
The final minutes of the fourth quarter and the entirety of the overtime period demonstrated the stark differences between the star-laden Thunder and the undermanned Nuggets. In the final four minutes of regulation, Scott Brooks allowed Westbrook and Durant to work out of isolation sets and either create for each other or get a shot on the rim for Ibaka to clean up. The simple formula allowed OKC to get back in the game, and Durant sent it to extra time with a well-paced driving dunk off an in-bounds play originally designed for a three-point look.
Meanwhile, Denver squandered their late lead by playing to their fear of Ibaka on defense. They ran some pick-and-roll with Chris Andersen in an attempt to draw Ibaka away from the basket, but that led to Birdman taking a few long jumpers and scoring five of their last 10 points in regulation. Birdman score the bulk of crunch time points is never a good thing. The late-game offense highlighted the painful lack of a go-to player for Denver. With a chance to seal the game with under 10 seconds remaining, Ty Lawson tried to run pick-and-roll with Al Harrington, but when Westbrook moved under the screen, Lawson forced himself into an ill-fated long three that clanged off the side rim and allowed Durant to tie the game with his dunk. Then on the final possession Lawson tried an isolation at the top of the key but ended up with an off-balance up-and-under from the free throw line that caught the right side of the cylinder.
Durant and Westbrook capitalized on the OT opportunity by scoring all 13 Thunder points, putting pressure on the Nuggets to execute in the half court. Oklahoma City successfully ran the rudimentary "our guys are better than your guys, so try and stop it" offense to perfection (because their guys are indeed better), but Denver could not match them on their own terms. With five crippling turnovers and numerous isolation shots taken under duress in OT, the Andre Miller as emergency creator plan fell flat on its face for George Karl. Ibaka closed every angle to the hoop and the Nuggets simply had no answer when Thunder took running off the table.
The Thunder are now 12-1 at home and have won nine consecutive games at Chesapeake Energy Arena. They own the Western Conference's best record at 24-7. The injury-depleted Nuggets have now lost 8 of their last 10 games and have fallen to 17-15 overall.
Serge Ibaka's points-rebounds-blocks triple-double is the first in franchise history -- Oklahoma City and Seattle included -- to involve blocks, and here is a look at how Ibaka secured his place in history:

CATEGORIES MoviesIf you're waiting with bated breath for Kate Winslet's onscreen reunion with a famous cast mate, (and you didn't care for "Titanic") good news! Winslet and Kenneth Branagh are reportedly teaming up for the second time in their careers!
Winslet is eying the lead in "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," which Branagh is attached to direct. Winslet and Branagh first teamed up during the 1996 bigscreen production of "Hamlet."
Based on the bestseller by Mary Ann Shaffer, "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society" is an unusual pen-pal style love story set in the wake of WWI London.
The script was adapted by Don Roos ("The Other Woman") and imagines Winslet as a magazine columnist who begins a letter writing relationship with a man from Guernsey.
Shooting for "Guernsey" is scheduled to begin in March.

Tuesday 02 December 1997
The solution is not too difficult: White must stop Black from disentangling his pieces, which means that he must keep the knight on d2 pinned while finding a way to approach with his queen. Once you have found the first move, which unblocks the d-file, the rest goes like clockwork: 1.Bb1! Kd1 2.Qd6 Kc1 3.Qf4 Kd1 4.Qd4 Kc1 5.Qe3 Kd1 6.Qd3 Kc1 7.Qc2 mate.
The real fun comes in the second part of Dawson's puzzler: if the board is extended to the right and upwards, and each square has sides of one inch, how far away must the queen be in the starting position for the problem to be a mate-in-69?
Dawson's answer: on the moon! If you work out the length of the ever- growing swings of the white queen, you will see that she doubles her distance from d2 every two moves. So she'll close in from 234 inches away in 68 moves. (One more move is then needed to give mate). There are approximately 216 inches in a mile, so for a mate in 69, she must begin 218 miles away - as far as the moon.

Application starts picking old cached obsolete data anywhere.
My application is built on ASP.NET 2.0 and is hosted on a dedicated server running Windows Server 2008 R2.
From the last few days, my users are complaining that the application starts malfunctioning by picking previous SQL Server connection values. The GridView starts displaying options of a DropDown control and so on. When I restart the SQL Server background service, everything starts working fine. I had a lot of discussion with people and few suggested that it has something to do with the Application Pool.
I looked into the IIS properties to see which application pool is running my application. I found that my application is using Classic Application Pool with Managed Pipeline Mode set to: Classic. The application is also running with Application Pool Identity: LocalSystemAccount.
In the database connection string (in web.config file), I am using Server Name as LocalHost with Integrated Security=SSPI.
I want to know whether the above settings have anything to do with this malfunction.
Do I need to change the Pipeline Mode to Integrated and put the application in a separate pool? Is Integrated Security=SSPI has anything to do with the PipeLine Mode?

Hundreds particpate in Croydon Enterprise Week
5:50am Saturday 17th November 2012 in News
Hundreds of people have participated in a host of free events to mark the first Croydon Enterprise Week.
Among them were four teams of young entrepreneurs who pitched their business ideas at a Dragon's Den style event at Croydon College.
The winners from John Ruskin College won £500 and a business mentoring support package from the SME Consortium.
Their team Business Berries' winning proposal was for a mobile device application for students to stay in touch with tutors' comments about their course work.
Croydon Enterprise Week ran from November 5 and 10, and venues across the borough and at the NatWest mobile business school.
Over 20 workshops, one-to-one advice sessions and business-to-business shows took place.
The annual We Mean Business exhibition coincided with Enterprise Week and was held at Fairfield Halls were over 100 businesses networked throughout the day.
Enterprise Week was a joint initiative by Croydon Council, NatWest Bank, Croydon Voluntary Action (CVA), the Federation of Small Businesses, training providers, colleges, local businesses and the voluntary sector.

Housing needs survey
In January 2005, questionnaires were sent out to 14,000 households in a major survey of housing needs in the city
The survey was carried out to give us more detail about people's housing needs and aspirations and help shape the development of new homes - in particular low-cost affordable housing - in years to come. The responses have helped influence housing and planning policies and will help to ensure investment in affordable housing matches local needs as closely as possible.
Background information
All local authorities are required by statute to carry out regular assessments of housing need within the authority, and this work will allow us to project future housing need in the city so that we can make appropriate investment decisions. In Brighton & Hove, where land values and the property market are both buoyant, it is of great importance that affordable housing is provided that matches local need as closely as possible.
The council chose to assess housing need in partnership with five other authorities in the sub-region - Eastbourne, Wealden, Lewes, Hastings and Rother. In addition to information about Brighton & Hove, this gives us access to a sub-regional report on housing needs within the partner authorities. We now have more in-depth information on issues such as migration across the sub-region, which allow us to design cross-authority work to meet the regional housing need.
The main body of the survey fieldwork was carried out by postal questionnaire sent to a random sample across the city. We also interviewed a number of groups in more depth - BME people, older people, younger people, people with learning disabilities, LGBT people, and travellers and gypsies - to allow us to pick up on issues of particular import to our communities of interest, and follow best practice guidelines on monitoring need levels among these communities.
The survey was carried out between 11 January and 1 February 2005.

Natalie Zea Is Finally Talking About Her Engagement Ring (See an Up-Close Photo)
Gregg DeGuire/Wireimage. Inset:Christopher Polk/Getty
Some stars are super-quick to share their engagement rings on social media (ahem, Ashlee Simpson) and others like to wait before making any kind of big reveal. Natalie Zea chose the second approach, as the actress just started to gush about her bauble from fiancé Travis Schuldt.
Zea — who you know from her role on Justified and currently stars as Claire Matthews on The Following — accepted Schuldt's proposal last June in Kauai, Hawaii. And she was definitely impressed by the ring, a stunning round solitaire diamond on a gold band, so much so that she's still gushing about it.
RELATED: Click here for all the updates on celebrity engagement rings
"The stone is an heirloom from Travis's family," the star recently told the Daily Mail. "He worked with Tacori to design the setting. I had no input at all and was pleasantly shocked by it all."
Zea and Schuldt met as co-stars on the soap opera Passions and dated for 10 years before he popped the question. "He wanted to make sure he gave the car a thorough test drive before he bought it," she joked to PEOPLE back in June.
What do you think of the star's simple ring? Do you like that she waited before making a big reveal? Share your thoughts below!

Hey guys,
For a while now I've been using BBedit on my Mac. I run into a few things that are starting to annoy me. An example would be auto-indent not working correctly: I open a function and when I hit enter, I expect a tab indented. Having to do this manually seems unnessary. Same goes with curly brackets. As soon as I open one and hit enter, a closing one could be added two lines down (since I'll be probably closing my loop or function).
So.. what editor do you use?

When I'm coding on my Mac I use Coda, I use Textmate sometimes too but I just like the general feel of Coda better. I also like the ease of having the uploading functionality built in so I don't need to keep switching between apps.
When on my Windows 7 laptop I use phpDeveloper7, I used to use Dreamweaver but just feel that phpDeveloper is less cluttered and let's me just get on with what I need to do.
Neither of these are free, but as they are what I use everyday to work in, I feel that paying out a bit for something that feels better to use is worth the investment.
Obviously these are just my opinions and you may hate the software, that's what free trials are for

Juncker: I won't kneel to Britain (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Juncker: I won't kneel to Britain
8:05am Friday 6th June 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The candidate vying to take the European Union's top job in the face of stiff opposition from David Cameron has vowed he will not be forced on to his knees to secure British support.
As his bid to become president of the European Commission comes under intense pressure, Jean-Claude Juncker told allies it would be wrong to "give in" to the UK's demands and lashed out at the tactics of the press.
The former prime minister of Luxembourg reportedly launched his attack at a private meeting of the European People's Party (EPP) bloc, the centre-right group that gained the most seats in last month's EU elections and includes Angela Merkel's party.
Mr Cameron is vehemently opposed to the candidacy and is said to have warned European leaders last week that Britain could leave the EU if the arch-federalist succeeded.
According to the Guardian, Mr Juncker, who earlier this week insisted he is "more confident than ever" of landing the job, told the EPP: "It is wrong if we give in to the British here.
"I will not be forced to get on my knees before the British."
He added: "What bothers me is the gathering British press campaign. The tabloid press has occupied my house, photographers are harassing my neighbours, they are asking neighbours about family stories.
"You had better be ready for a lot more dirt."
The Prime Minister and the German chancellor , who have been at loggerheads over the appointment, held talks over the fraught issue on the fringes of the G7 summit to try to find a way forward.
Mrs Merkel has publicly backed Mr Juncker to succeed Jose Manuel Barroso but unconfirmed reports earlier this week suggested she had privately raised with French president Francois Hollande the possibility that he might put IMF chief Christine Lagarde's name forward.

Katie Re-Registered says...
Would this, perchance, be the self-same British Press that have learnt all the lessons from the Leveson Inquiry; won't repeat the same crimes and misdemeanours again and have therefore been judged, by our glorious Prime Minister in his infinite wisdom, to be quite capable of being left to control themselves via self-regulation?

Talks collapse and so does the hockey world.
While the situation isn't exactly "no news", it's close. Perhaps you can have a shred of hope that a resolution is forthcoming. At least, for the moment.
All sports fans have their quirks, depending on the sport, but hockey fans are a family.
While fan discontent is bubbling over at the threat of a NHL work stoppage, the discontent lacks teeth because fans lack unity and organization.
Europe isn't just a popular destination for vacations. It's also a popular destination for out-of-work NHLers looking to play during a long lockout.
The NHLPA is trying to prevent being locked out and NHL fans are upset and feeling powerless about it. But maybe both groups can help each other out.
The NHL and the NHLPA have canceled Wednesday's meeting after Donald Fehr and Gary Bettman met this morning.
A number of things will affect Seattle if or when they get an NHL team.
We had one of our great artist friends draw up a cartoon summarizing the CBA negotiations. I think she captured it perfectly.

Bears 'D' scores twice in win over Cardinals
Chicago's defense scored two touchdowns and the Bears beat the Cardinals 28-13 on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Chicago Bears have placed Bush on season-ending injured reserve because of a rib injury and signed Kahlil Bell to take his place.||||||| Losing Bush is another blow for the struggling Bears. They've dropped five of six after a 7-1 start and are coming off a loss to Green Bay that clinched the NFC North for the Packers. Signed to a four-year deal to give the Bears depth in the backfield with Matt Forte, Bush appeared in 13 games and ran for 411 yards and five touchdowns. Bell was waived by Chicago in October.
While starting in place of the injured Matt Forte, Bush had 55 yards on 18 carries and scored the game's only offensive touchdown in the Bears' 23-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.||||||| It's unknown if Bush will get another start. The Bears were hoping Forte would practice this week. "Eventually we'll get (Forte) back out there," coach Lovie Smith said. "Exactly when, I don't know that right now. I just know every day I see him doing a little bit more so I'm hopeful."
The Chicago Bears have agreed to a four-year contract with Bush.||||||| Bush will join Matt Forte, who got a franchise tag from the Bears, in Chicago's backfield. Bush played four seasons for the Oakland Raiders, gaining 2,642 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and scoring 21 touchdowns. The powerful 245-pound back had his most productive season in 2011, setting career highs in rushes (256), yards (977), touchdowns (7), receptions (37) and yards receiving (418).
Bush ran 23 times for 70 yards and caught two passes for 24 in Saturday's 16-13 OT win at Kansas City.||||||| With Darren McFadden showing no signs of returning, Bush will likely start a do-or-die Week 17 matchup with state rival San Diego.
Bush carried the ball 30 times for 109 yards and a TD during Sunday's 27-21 at Minnesota.||||||| Bush has been tremendous in filling for the injured Darren McFadden, compiling 461 rushing yards and two scores over the last four games. He, however, could return to his backup role if McFadden is healthy enough to go in Week 12.

Maria Bello's Mission of Hope
When I first heard about the earthquake in Haiti I called my friend Father Rick Frechette, an American priest and medical doctor who has been living in Haiti for 22 years, and asked, "What do you need me to do?" He said, "If it moves you, please put on your work boots, grab a shovel, and come dig my people out." I tried for several days to get to Haiti. Finally, a week after the catastrophe, I flew from Los Angeles to Port-au-Prince along with director Paul Haggis and actor Sean Penn. We were on a chartered cargo plane filled with 12 doctors, building contractors, medical supplies, food, and tools.
I had been going to Haiti for the past two years, after meeting Father Rick through a friend. Father Rick opened the only free pediatric hospital in Haiti, St. Damien, and runs schools and orphanages. He also supplied free drinking water to the slum of Cite de Soleil and fed thousands throughout Port-au-Prince. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. (Eight out of 100 children die before age 5.) Paul Haggis and I helped start an organization, Artists for Peace and Justice, in 2009 and have funneled 100 percent of the money we've raised ($4.5 million since the quake) to Father Rick's projects.
When we arrived in Port-au-Prince after the earthquake, we immediately drove to St. Damien. Thankfully, the hospital had sustained little to no damage because it was one of the newer buildings in the city. But seeing hundreds of men, women, and children lying on the hospital's front lawn and inside the building was devastating. Some had severe dehydration or serious wounds like missing limbs. Children were separated from their families and many were too young to tell us who their parents were.
During that week I held the hand of a 16-year-old boy as he got his leg amputated without anesthesia. His screams of despair, I believe, were not only from the physical pain but also from the knowledge that his life as he knew it would never be the same. We helped evacuate 18 children to the United States who had spinal-cord injuries and would have died without proper medical treatment. As painful as the scene was, it could also be inspiring: One night, while I was sleeping on the ground with hundreds of doctors, nurses, soldiers, and volunteers at the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division camp, we were awakened by a mother's mournful song for her lost child. Soon her voice was joined by another and another. We walked to the top of the hill at sunrise to the displaced persons camp and there was a long line of people waiting for food that would be distributed at 8 a.m. The people continued to sing these Creole spirituals, in praise and thanksgiving for their lives. They had nothing left, but they were alive. And singing.
Two weeks later I returned to Haiti to work in one of the displaced persons camps. (For now I plan to go back every couple of weeks to distribute donated medical supplies.) As bad as it was right after the earthquake, conditions had gotten worse. At St. Damien I saw many patients whose untreated wounds were turning gangrenous. There were outbreaks of tuberculosis and typhoid fever. The camps were getting bigger: One in Port-au-Prince grew from 40,000 to 75,000 refugees while I was away. In a couple of weeks the hurricane season will begin. Many people still don't even have tents; they are living under sheets. In some areas they are getting rice, but they are not getting cooking oil so they can't cook the rice. Not everyone is being fed.
While the disaster has brought out the best in people -- I've seen doctors camped out in the streets in sleeping bags, subsisting only on energy bars and working 20-hour shifts -- it has brought out the worst in others. Every night there have been reports of rapes in the camps. I have been working with CARE, the international humanitarian organization, to start a women's clinic that will pass out hygiene kits and create a safe place for women to report these crimes.
Over the next few months we need to bring more medical aid to Haiti. If we don't, hundreds of thousands could die from secondary infections. We need to push the U.S. government to continue to be a presence there. Just because the initial disaster is over doesn't mean we can stop working for these resilient and kind people.
The other day I called my 9-year-old son, who was home in Los Angeles, from Haiti. He said, "Mom, you forgot you were supposed to be a driver for my class trip today." That day, as I worked in the camps, all I could think about was, God, I missed my kid's field trip. It's a difficult decision to leave your child, but in the end, I want to teach my son compassion, and to stand for something. As a mother, I want to do my small part to leave the world a better place.Help for Haiti

The money has been agreed upon and that contract signed. When Durham Public Schools Superintendent Ann Denlinger enters retirement in June, Carl E. Harris will get the keys to the district and a $34,000 raise.
The school board's selection of the deputy superintendent to lead the Durham schools became official Friday with the signing of a four-year contract that is quite similar to Denlinger's.
In the contract, Harris will be paid $185,000 a year to start, with the possibility of annual 5 percent bonuses based on his evaluation and the support of two-thirds of the seven-member school board.
Harris came to Durham Public Schools as an associate superintendent in 2003 from the top job in Franklin County Schools. He could not be reached for comment Friday but released a statement saying he was honored at his selection.
"I am committed to giving my best efforts to making Durham Public Schools the best in the nation," Harris said. "Together, we can achieve this goal."
Like Denlinger's, Harris' contract gives him a $750-a-month car allowance and another $100 a month for a cell phone. The school board will pay Harris' membership in up to seven organizations and also pay him for up to 10 days of unused vacation each year. On top of the annual bonus, Harris will receive annual 5 percent raises.
The school board used a document comparing superintendent salaries from across the Southeast and Midwest that was compiled by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system to ensure its offer to Harris was in line with what school chiefs make elsewhere.
Board Vice Chairman Steve Martin said he was pleased that the process of replacing Denlinger and snagging Harris was finished.
"I am excited and hope to be working for him for the rest of my term," Martin said. "He's going to hit the ground running and establish new goals that will make us stretch."
Friday culminated the smoothest superintendent transition in the 14-year history of the merged city and county school system.
When Durham almost lost Harris to a Savannah, Ga., school district last year, where he was named a finalist for the superintendency, board members quickly moved to ensure Harris would remain here.
Harris' mild manner, accessibility and his track record for closing the racial achievement gap and reducing suspension rates made him the universal favorite among board members who often don't agree with each other. He will be the first black person to lead the district in a non-interim role.
The board named him the heir apparent even before Denlinger announced her retirement, bumped up his salary and created a new position -- deputy superintendent -- just for him.
The board voted unanimously to give Denlinger's job to Harris the same night that she told the public that she planned to step down. It shunned the lengthy searches that usually occur when a superintendent leaves and managed to avoid a process that has been tumultuous in the past.

Not a Diamond, it is Only Graphite
It's been two months since I have written about promoted penny stocks. Let's start with how the penny stocks I have written about have done.
And now a little bit of news:
1) Obscene Jeans Corp. [OBJED] did a 1-for-40 reverse split. Almost no one makes money on reverse splits. But it does allow the company to reboot, issue more cheap shares, and continue the scam.
2) I was contacted by a lawyer suing Luxeyard [LUXR]. Won't give most details, but it does not surprise me that the stock has dropped so much in so little time. The dilution from the stock offering did a lot of it, and losing money is the rest.
3) It is fascinating to me that promoted penny stocks tend to lose value at a 93% per year basis. That is very reliable. None of the penny stocks above have gains. They all lose. So, why should anyone invest in them? No one should.
I toss out the idea that there may be some good small-cap companies out there that deserve attention. Run stock screens, and analyze them yourself. Don't trust the pitches of others. If you must listen to those that pitch small cap stocks, at least stick with someone that has no agenda, like AAII. Go ahead, invest in their shadow stock portfolio. It has trounced the averages.
Graphite, not a Diamond
Okay, here is tonight's promoted stock: Graphite Corp. At first, I was kind of surprised by the pedestrian nature of this stock, but as I looked at it, I realized, "Okay, yeah, graphite pricing has gone up a lot since the Chinese started to ration their sales, since in the past, they were 80% of the supply."
But Graphite Corp. has no revenues, negative earnings, scanty book value, and has never mined an ounce of graphite in its existence. It's management team is not a top-flight bunch of miners. It is a development stage company that was once targeted to be a "third party reseller of medical office business solutions." (see page 5)
This is typical of penny stock promotions. The promoter spins a great tale, but there is little to nothing there. Graphite is produced in mines, but it is also produced synthetically. The high prices for certain types of graphite may create new technologies that allow synthetic graphite to be produced in larger, purer sheets. That's a speculation on my part, but large price moves, like that of high-quality graphite moving up 150%, invites not only new mines, but new technologies.
Okay, but let's look at the development of this company, and how its stock got issued:
This is the statement of shareholder's equity from the recent 10-Q. I have added the last column to show you the prices where stock was issued. No insider ever received stock at prices higher than a nickel per share. Ask yourself, why can't you get stock at a nickel per share, so that you could sell it at 87 cents per share?
Also note the way the share count has ballooned -- they keep issuing shares, because they have little cash to pay parties with. Five years ago, 1.5 million shares. Today, nineteen-plus times that -- 28.7 million shares. And the company has done nothing aside from raising money, and unsuccessfully speculating. If we liquidated the company now, we would get 2.28 cents per share, not the 87 cents it has recently traded at.
The only way a company gets that kind of valuation is through promotion/advertising. And what were the incentives for those that put this in my mailbox today?
The writer had this incentive:
John Person Inc., dba National Futures.com did not receive any direct compensation (other than future subscription revenues, the amount of (which is not known at this time) with respect to the publication of this Advertisement. John Person Inc. has received $20,000 in cash compensation from Greenstone Media, LLC. to endorse this advertisement. This compensation constitutes a conflict of interest as to our ability to remain objective in our communication regarding the profiled company. Because of this conflict, individuals are strongly encouraged to not use this newsletter as the basis for any investment decision .While all information is believed to be reliable, it is not guaranteed by us to be accurate. Individuals should assume that all information contained in our newsletter is not trustworthy unless verified by their own independent research. Only invest in monies you can afford to lose.
To their credit, the bolding is theirs. What incentive did the advertiser have?
Third Party Advertiser/Advertising Agency IMPORTANT NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER: Greenstone Media, LLC., the third party advertiser, has paid $1,179,405 to Diamond Spot Media, LLC (DSM) as of October 24, 2012 for this advertising effort in an effort to build investor awareness. DSM shall retain any amounts over and above the cost of creating and distributing this advertisement which advertises The Bottom-line Newsletter coverage of Graphite Corp. Advertising services include; production, outsourced advertising copywriting services, mailing and other related distribution services and advertising media placement costs. Greenstone Media LLC, the third party advertiser, is a company based in Charlestown, Nevis. Greenstone Media LLC. the third party advertiser, has represented to DSM in writing that it does not own any shares of Graphite Corp. except for restricted stock which Greenstone Media, LLC. has represented to DSM in writing that it will not sell, pledge or hypothecate or otherwise agree to dispose of for 90 days following the initial dissemination of this advertisement. Greenstone Media LLC., has also represented to DSM in writing that neither it nor its affiliates will buy or sell any shares of Graphite Corp. during the period that this advertisement is being disseminated by DSM or third party media vendors.
That's a weak disclaimer. "Affiliates" may not mean owners or clients. My sense is that large owners of Graphite Corp will use this opportunity to sell stock, feeding losses to a gullible public, and they could be the ones that funded the stock advertisement. Makes a lot of sense, after all, who would benefit most from the advertisement?
As I often say, "Don't buy what someone wants to sell you. Buy what you have researched and you know has value." With promoted stocks, they are selling financial poison. Avoid it like the plague, unless you get a kick out of losing 93%/year to scammers.
