A few months ago, many of you probably watched the news and saw the devastation firstly caused by the horrendous floods and then followed by Cyclone Yasi. This would be enough to make you think that it may take years of recovery. WRONG. Queensland is definitely open for business with the major tourism destinations of the Gold Coast, Whitsundays and North Queensland ready to welcome you. It takes more than a few natural disasters to close Queensland down.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh said "It's no secret the Tourism industry, like many industries in Queensland, has taken a hit by the floods and is still haemorrhaging because of the negative publicity that spread world-wide.
"That's why we're taking action now to get the message out to our interstate and international guests - Queensland is still a world class destination and we have our arms out ready to welcome you.
"While the floods tried to do their worst, the Queensland spirit is well and truly alive and a Queensland holiday is a holiday of a lifetime.
"We said it before the floods and we say it now, Queensland is where Australia shines and never has it shined as brightly as it does now."
Now is a great time to take advantage of your exchange options and try some of the great Australian destinations. Whether it is the beautiful beaches of the Gold Coast, The Great Barrier Reef, or you may even fancy a bit of trout fishing in Tasmania. The options are endless, and the opportunities to explore are abundant.
With any holiday, the most important part is in the planning. Do your research first so that you know what resorts are of interest to you.
If you are coming in from overseas use the opportunity to save your Weeks or Points so that you can stay longer by using them together, and while you are here why not look at cruise options as well. What a great way to see the Australian coast line and visit some great ports on the way. There is nothing better than unpacking once, visiting a range of new holiday destinations, and relaxing, eating and drinking on the way.
Whatever choice you make, I hope you have a ball.

Liebherr to replace Cortese as chairman - reports
Updated 7:56pm Wednesday 15th January 2014 in Football
Nicola Cortese is set to quit St Mary's in the coming days with Katharina Liebherr taking charge of the club, according to reports.
Katharina, daughter of the late Swiss billionaire Markus Liebherr whose takeover in 2009 rescued Saints from administration, is reportedly set to become the new chairman.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino, who stated in the summer that he would leave the club if Cortese went, is said to be considering quitting too.
As reported previously on dailyecho.co.uk, Cortese has been preparing to walk out after what a source close to the top at Saints told the Daily Echo was 'irretrievable breakdown' in relations with the Liebherr estate who own the club.
The reports this evening also stated that Cortese tendered his resignation some time ago - though speculation he had resigned today had been slapped down by officials - and has been serving out the remainder of his contract ever since.
However, the reports also suggest a degree of brinkmanship as they state a late change of heart from Liebherr's could still stave this off.
The reason for the breakdown revolves around still largely unresolved issues from when Cortese almost went in the summer.
Back then an interim agreement was struck over the future of the club, and Cortese's contract, which convinced both parties to agree a deal to keep the former Swiss banker at St Mary's.
Discussions over a long term strategy for the club to replace the interim agreement have been ongoing but there appears to be some way between the two parties. That has prompted Cortese to again consider his future.
The Daily Echo understand that chief amongst the disagreements are the potential sale of the club and a desire for a representative of the Liebherr estate to take a seat on the board,

This is disgraceful timing when half way through the season it's bringing total disruption to the Club, those mainly affected are the Players at every level within the Club if they think the man they have quickly taken too and respect Mauricio Potchettino could be leaving in the next 2 weeks or less, what utter turmoil, please tell me I'm in a dream, there's not any mention of any change on the Saints site so what's the truth?

It may give MP more reason to stay on as his loyalty may have taken a bit of a knock here.
Very odd that Katharina Liebherr taking over as CEO when reports suggest she is not interested in football. Can see some asset stripping here to help clear supposed debts.

Beau's bottle into a tulip, dark brown, some faint tawny hints maybe. Good initial head , fades to leave a coarse film. Quite opaque with some visible carbonation. Lacing fades out. Could look better.
S - puckering, with an astringent phenolic character, tartness, spicy, with pepper, earthyness and a full earthy, gruity kick from the myrtle, something like heather with some gooseberries. Vegetal and and a bit farmy.
T - cherries with a dark spicy character, vegetal, and some of the myrtle woody bitterness comes toward the ending. Get notes of gooseberry, dates, lots of spicy fruitiness, and the gruit character is quite strong, pleasant herbal interplay, if some of the tartness came in to make it a bit wild I would be more enthusiastic, think that could offer a lot of interesting complexity. As it is, spicy? yes, rich? kinda, tasty? yeah, but overall im looking for this to be a little more assertive. Balance is fairly good and finish is nice.
M - low carbonation on this, a tart and fruity and spicy offering, a little sour and syrupy, more carbonation would probably help it.
If this beer had some brett in it I think it would be awesome, quite nice offering as is. I like the unique terrior and the myrtle certainly comes across, with some woody spicy notes, all round an interesting gruit, certainly pushing different. Worth a try maybe, yet the bitterness or tartness could be ramped up to improve complexity.

600 ml bottle purchased a respectable $4.85 CDN from the LCBO. Served chilled into glassware.
Appearance - Hazy, murky brown looks like... well... Bog water. 1/2 finger of head poured which doesn't linger. Tint little wisps of residue to remain on top.
Smell - Floral, dark fruits, some molasses, cranberry and other low hanging fruits. Some dates and prunes in there too. Quite a medley and very enticing. The combination of aromas, actually has me thinking that this won't be altogether too different from a weizenbock. Some bready / grain ellements too.
Taste - How wrong I was, dark fruits, a bit sour an a mild bitterness. Very floral tasting and the light breadiness continues its routine through the tastebuds. The appearance of it in this subtle manner harkens me again to Weizenbocks or Quads but the fruitiness and the softness (especially in mouthfeel) is what makes this a Gruit. Full flavor though.
Mouthfeel - Light and soft, medium carbonation, but very gruit-like in the way it blends with the cranberry and other fruits.
Overall - Pretty damn good gruit, whilst being something interesting and fairly unique. This still isn't my style but this is a very good effort. Definitely may pick up a couple bottles when my more experimental friends come over.

600 mL bottle picked up at the LCBO; batch 3465. It shouldn't be much of a surprise when I state that this isn't a style I have truckloads of experience with - but I suppose that's all the more reason to crack this one open, eh? Served slightly chilled.
Pours a deep, muddy copper-brown colour, pretty much what I'd expect bog water to look like. Seated atop the liquid is one finger of creamy, light tan-coloured, fairly short-lived head that dissipates over the next minute or two. A thin cap/collar remain, with some frothy suds left clinging around the edge of the class. The aroma is quite herbal and grassy, with elements of floral hops, sarsaparilla/root beer, brown sugar and yeast. Enticing, and definitely a change of pace from what I usually drink.
It took a few sips for my palate to adjust to this one, but eventually I came to really enjoy it. This one is strongly herbal, so much so that it almost has a minty toothpaste flavour at first - not a great way to start things off, but once your tongue makes sense of the flowery myrtle notes the beer comes together much more nicely. Sarsaparilla, hemp seed and tisane flavours are all detectable, with a brown sugar and molasses sweetness underlying much of the profile. Herbal bog myrtle notes finish it off, with a touch of clove spice and yeast in the aftertaste. The alcohol is only barely detectable. On the light side of medium-bodied, with fizzy carbonation that doesn't work well in the context of all the spicy, herbal notes IMO. Minor complaint, though - this is reasonably drinkable for a beer with such an unusual flavour profile.
Final Grade: 3.84, a solid B+. Beau's Bog Water is an interesting diversion, if nothing else - I wouldn't mind another bottle on occasion, but it's not something I'm going to be stocking up on or seeking out. I enjoyed this glass, and while the beer itself would make a fine after-dinner digestif, it's not the sort of stuff I'd be interested in drinking in large quantities. If spiced beers are your thing then this is definitely worth a shot - cheers to Beau's for having the guts to brew an obscure, esoteric beer style, even if it's not entirely up my alley.

600ml bottle.
Appearance- Pours a copper colour with two fingers if beige head.
Smell- sweet malts, herbal aromas, spicy yeast, and orange zest.
Taste- A lot of the sweet malts and herbal aromas come out and dominate the brew. Finishes off dry.
Mouthfeel- Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall- This brew has the elements in place for the style and the flavour profile is quite different then other beers I am accustomed to. This beer may not be for everyone but for me, I found it enjoyable.

£20,000 fitness area to be unveiled in Winnall
12:21pm Tuesday 29th January 2013 in Winchester
OUTDOOR fitness equipment is about to be installed in Winchester offering free opportunities for people to stay fit.
The £20,000 gym next to the play area on Imber Road, Winnall, offers the chance for anyone to boost their fitness. It is free to use.
The funding has come from the city council's open space fund for a health walker, sit-up bench, power-push, pulldown challenger, handle-boat, push-hands, ski-stepper and mini-ski, all set on a soft surface.
Cllr Patricia Stallard, portfolio holder for culture, heritage and sport, said: "As a Council we do all we can to improve the health and wellbeing of residents in our community. Some of the equipment is particularly important for older users; it improves flexibility and agility of joints.
"Now there is no excuse not to keep fit whilst enjoying the great outdoors. We hope that residents will lead an active and healthy lifestyle while being able to socialise at the same time."

There's another at Kings Worthy.
When will these Parish Councils learn that these things are just fads. No doubt there will be yet another photo call with lots of enthusiastic grey haired people having ago, only for it to be abandoned a few months later. Surely we can find better things to spend public money on.

Terry Bowden and Jim Tressel, together at last! The Akron Zips are doing a fine job of collecting famous former head coaches, hiring the fired-ish Ohio St. Buckeyes coach to come aboard as a Vice President of Strategic Engagement, where his duties will be bringing together alumni and community organizations to help the school. Nobody knows what that means, but it's probably about branding, as everything else is. It's a non-athletic department role.
Tressel left Ohio State after it was revealed he misled the NCAA regarding benefits that had been accepted by players. He worked for the Indianapolis Colts at a booth assistant during the NFL season and was reportedly in the running for the Colts head coaching job at one point.
The coach worked as a graduate assistant at Akron from 1975 to 1978, his first coaching job.

A snake in the courthouse? Believe itWritten by Becky Johnson
Deputy Gregory Wood was looking forward to a mundane Monday morning manning the metal detector at the Haywood County courthouse when a woman came in with some strange news: a snake had taken up residence in the elevator of the parking deck.
Needless to say, when the woman saw the big, black snake curled up in the corner, she opted to take the stairs. Wood said he didn't doubt her tale for a second.
"We get strange things around here all the time," he said.
So Wood, along with fellow Deputy Russell Bryson, headed out to see for themselves. They hit the call button for the elevator, and when the doors opened, there it was — a big, black snake nearly four feet long.
They realized right away the snake didn't get in there on its own.
"It couldn't have crawled in there before the doors closed shut on it," Bryson said.
But first things first.
"I knew I needed to get it off the elevator," Wood said. He pulled his expandable baton from his holster and quickly pinned down the snake's head to immobilize it. With his other hand, Wood grabbed the snake by the neck so it couldn't turn around and bite him.
Wood paused briefly to pose while Bryson took a picture on his cell phone, and then the two released the poor critter into the grass.
Once back inside, they began reviewing surveillance footage of the parking deck. At 10:20 a.m. — about 10 minutes before the woman reported it — a man is seen walking up to the elevator and putting the snake inside. It's possible someone rode on the elevator with the snake if they were talking on their phone or otherwise distracted, Wood said.
"We are trying to figure out if there is anything we can charge him with," Wood said of the man. They consulted with a District Court judge to figure out what charge might be applicable. The next step would be identifying him.
Before putting the snake on the elevator, the man was walking around with it on the grounds outside the historic courthouse. Tax Collector David Francis, who works in the building, confronted the man and asked him to get rid of the snake.

Comments about Restricted Women's Sweet Pea Oxford:
These little oxfords were just darling. I got the coral ones because they were on sale and kept them in spite of the sizing problem (about a half size too small) and gave them to my mother, who just loved them, also. They are just a lovely little retro piece to a wardrobe, and the color was a charming "pop". Wish the size had worked for me, though! I had plans!

Dear Reader: You think the presidential election was odd? That ain't the half of it. I'm becoming more and more convinced that most everything in life is a bit odd, and I think that's a good thing. Every morning when I ride the subway to work I see - in addition to the usual assortment of oddballs - an ad for the Local 37 AFSCME union, notable chiefly for its extremely varied membership: gardeners, park rangers, museum workers, and the folks who maintain the New York area bridges and tunnels. What an odd mix, I think to myself. And then I get into work and start working on a magazine that covers an equally motley mix of theatre, film, concert, and theme park artisans, and I realize that odd is as odd does.
We truly are an odd magazine. In age of niche this and niche that, here's Entertainment Design, a book that, instead of narrowing its focus, always seems to broaden it. We expanded our coverage beyond the core theatre market because theatre designers broadened their reach to include film, TV, and architecture, and later concerts and theme parks. The advent of the theatre sound designer prompted us to begin covering that craft in addition to lighting, sets, and costumes. And now, just in the last year or two, we've seen an explosion in the use of video projection in entertainment, another rising and viable art form. As long as there are creative artists discovering new tools with which to work, my guess is we'll keep expanding our coverage as long as the readers respond approvingly, and, of course, as long as they don't think it's too odd.
These thoughts always occur to me around this time of year, between LDI and our annual EDDY Awards. LDI continues to grow beyond its lighting base, and LDI 2000 in Las Vegas last October was no exception. An ever-increasing number of audio, video, and soft goods manufacturers exhibit at the show, which in turn brings an ever-increasing array of designers, technicians, and students. Sound designer Tony Meola, who spoke at one of the LDI sessions, was impressed by the wide range of groups represented at the show, and especially excited by the number of students in attendance. A sound designer praising a lighting show? How odd.
And then there's the EDDY Awards, perhaps the oddest yearly roundup of the best and brightest sharing a podium since Martha Stewart and Busta Rhymes at the MTV Video Music Awards. As you may know, we don't have any set categories for these awards; our goal is simply to honor designers and technicians who have made a significant contribution to the field of entertainment design, be it a project, a series of projects, or an entire career. They can be anyone from glamorous Hollywood costume designers to scruffy Off Broadway technicians. This year's winners fit that criteria to a T: the design team for Blue Man Group Live at Luxor, film and theatre costume designer Ann Roth, the SITI Company design team, and the set concert builder Tait Towers. An extremely odd, and extremely talented mix. Learn more about them all.
And finally, perhaps the oddest thing I've encountered in a while: our art director, Raymond Mingst, actually wanted to write something. With words, not pictures. This makes the situation in Florida seem ho-hum.

Is Lucy Hale Of 'Pretty Little Liars' Country Music's Next Sweetheart?
Country music is about to gain another Hollywood star.
According to a recent press statement, as well as a note on her Twitter page, Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale has signed a recording deal with Hollywood Records.
I can now share that I have recently been signed to Hollywood Records @HollywoodRecs ! I couldn't be more excited to share my music with you—
Lucy Hale (@lucyyhale) June 12, 2012
Hale, who also has appeared in TV shows such as The O.C. and How I Met Your Mother and movies like Scream 4, sounds like she can't wait to get started.
"I'm overjoyed and honored to become a member of the Hollywood Records family," said Hale in the press statement. "I've admired the careers they've made and can't wait to see how my musical path is paved out."
However, as she noted in a followup tweet, the music will be different from "anything you've ever heard from the label" (which is part of the Disney Music Group and home to such pop stars as Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato) and "not what you'd expect from me."
While she points to Britney Spears as a key inspiration, it turns out that the Memphis, Tennessee native actually wants to go country, following in the footsteps of such artists as Shania Twain and Faith Hill.
Its going to be diff from anything you've ever heard from the label and not what you'd expect from me. Thanks for the support!—
Lucy Hale (@lucyyhale) June 12, 2012
The 22-year-old actress is set to release a single and album in 2013.

When communities are in quiet crisis, houses aren't the only things that Habitat can build.
Phuong and her husband use the water pump they installed just outside their home, thanks to a microfinance loan from Habitat Vietnam and one of its partner organizations.
In its many years of affordable-housing work around the world, Habitat for Humanity has learned that sometimes physical foundations aren't the only kind needed to achieve simple, decent homes. New construction remains a top priority, but partnering with families also can mean learning about their individual situations and adapting approaches to include new elements.
"For most poor families in the developing world, housing is a process," says Mike Carscaddon, executive vice president of Habitat's international division. "Families may not be able to afford a new house, but they can greatly improve their housing conditions incrementally over time as their needs and resources change. Our programs must be relevant to these various needs and appropriately matched to a family's resources."
What if a family has a place to live, but can no longer afford to stay because of electricity costs? What if a family has a house, but stays sick because of a contaminated water supply—or spends an inordinate amount of time collecting cleaner water? And if a family's finances remain overwhelming and day-to-day, how will they ever know with certainty that they can afford to improve their living conditions?
These are just a few of the questions that Habitat organizations around the world are encountering and addressing through innovative supplemental programs—programs like the ones featured here that help achieve Habitat's mission in exciting, exponentially growing ways.
Creating energy efficiency
Helena and her family—daughter Judita and three grandchildren—have lived in a truck on the streets of Moldova nad Bodvou, in eastern Slovakia, for some time. They're happy, Helena says, to have this roof above their heads. In 2004, the family spent a few months on the street.
Helena still does not understand how it happened. She and her husband used to have a cozy two-bedroom apartment with central heating. But with the fall of communism and Slovakia's subsequent transition to a market-oriented economy, housing expenses skyrocketed. After Helena's husband died, the family could no longer pay the electricity costs for heating and cooking. Within a couple of years, the widow changed apartments numerous times, choosing smaller and smaller spaces, but still she could not outrace the utility bills. When her debt reached 3,000 euros (a little more than US$4,000), the family was evicted. For months, they lived on the streets, until a charity offered them the old truck they inhabit now.
With the help of Habitat Slovakia, Helena hopes to move into a simple and decent home. This time, she says, it should be affordable and energy-efficient—so history does not repeat itself.
During communism, few in Eastern Europe worried about electricity and gas, as supplies were plentiful and cheap, usually subsidized by governments. Since then, however, people have been forced to pay small fortunes. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, a family of three can spend as much as 240,000 euros, or US$330,000, on heat over a 40-year period.
But it's not just the costs—traditional energy supplies in the region are quickly drying up, and delivery is unreliable. In central and eastern Europe, gas supplies from Russia were cut off during winter 2008 because of a political dispute. Bulgaria and Slovakia suffered the most; in rural areas, families were left without gas to heat homes or prepare food.
The need to reduce heating bills is essential for low-income families partnering with Habitat. Having a house is important; being able to heat it efficiently and affordably is key. To help alleviate the burden, Habitat Europe/Central Asia creates energy-efficient renovations in eastern Slovakia and western Ukraine. With home improvements such as insulated doors, windows and flooring, families can cut energy expenses and achieve greater savings. That's a start.
But how can we keep newly constructed homes warm, even with limited resources? Almost a decade ago, engineers came up with "passive house technology," a building that does not require active heating or cooling systems. Its layout, structure and all the materials used for construction are designed to retain heat and fresh air, adjusting to the outside temperature. "Passive houses" consume 10 times less energy than conventional modern buildings. Habitat Bulgaria currently is adapting this technology to local needs for 12 new homes slated to be built in Kostinbrod, a small city near Sofia.
Empowering through financial literacy education
Helena stands near the truck that she and her family now call home; the family was driven from their apartment some time ago by escalating energy costs in Slovakia.
Sound financial management can make the difference between homeownership and homelessness, especially for low-income families. That's why Habitat offers financial literacy workshops to families around the world, with the help and investment of partner Citi Foundation in many locations.
The program has existed in Habitat's Latin America and the Caribbean area for four years. Financial education workshops, now in 13 countries throughout the region, have provided some 10,000 low-income families with tools that will help them tackle a family budget and save for the future. Families who attend financial education workshops learn how to take stock of their income, prioritize expenses, create budgets and follow savings plans for specific home improvements.
"In the majority of countries in our region, the formal education system does not teach family budgeting or how to manage home finances," says Mario Moran, Habitat LAC's financial education manager. "This is a great opportunity for families—but not only that. Workshop participants also return to their communities and, either directly or indirectly, pass on what they have learned to their families, neighbors and friends."
As a result of the program, families also become more successful in developing savings, which in turn increases their ability to invest in their homes and communities.
Hilariana and her husband, Manuel, make just enough to cover their monthly expenses—including the payments on their Habitat Mexico home. While month after month they would manage to scrape by, saving for the future seemed to be an impossible goal.
Aware of their struggle, Habitat staff invited the couple to participate in a financial education workshop in Valle del Mezquital, Hidalgo. There, they learned how to use a budget to prioritize their expenses and found that—by eliminating unnecessary expenses—it was possible to set something aside for the future.
"Learning to plan in advance for our expenses has made us feel as if we actually have more money, even though we're earning the same," says Hilariana. "And we don't go around spending money on things that seem insignificant but aren't necessities. These small savings we set aside so that, little by little, we will have something there for when we really need it."
The financial literacy project, which also creates access to small loans for much-needed repairs and renovations, is being implemented in phases around the world. In Europe and Central Asia, it began last year with three countries—Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia. In Habitat's Africa and the Middle East area, 2009 saw pilot programs begin to develop in Cote d'Ivoire, Uganda and Lebanon. Plans also are being made in Poland, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Macedonia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
"Financial education adds value to Habitat's housing programs," Moran says. "Habitat hopes to continue serving thousands of families per year through financial education. We want families to be able to expand their options in the struggle for viable ways to improve the way that they live."
Improving access to clean water and sanitation
Habitat Mexico staff members hold financial education workshops, working with partner families on budgets and prioritization.
In much of the developing world, whole days can revolve around a struggle for clean water—and lives can be threatened by its absence.
Take Vietnam, for example. A global report released by the World Health Organization last year shows that more than 20,000 people die in Vietnam each year because of poor water, sanitation and hygiene.
A national survey by Vietnam's own Health Ministry showed that while more than half of the rural population have some form of sanitation facilities, only 18 percent of them have access to latrines that meet the ministry's hygiene standards.
For every dollar invested in water and sanitation improvements, $8 in benefits and savings could be realized, according to WHO. In Vietnam, such improvements would translate annually into 500 million productive days at work or at school and more than US$7 billion savings in health care costs.
According to Dr. Jean-Marc Olivé, a WHO representative in Vietnam, solutions need not be high-tech. "Simple latrines combined with frequent hand washing with soap can be very effective in reducing infections," he says. "When people can access clean water close to—or in—their homes, there are significant health benefits."
Since 2002, Habitat Vietnam has worked to improve living conditions around the country, where about a quarter of the population is considered poor. Through housing microfinance services and technical support, Habitat has served more than 3,000 families with sustainable shelter, clean water or adequate sanitation facilities. In mid-2008, sanitation and water projects represented about half of the program's efforts.
Habitat Vietnam seeks to alleviate the serious issue of poor water, sanitation and hygiene in the country through innovative programs and partnerships. Habitat has water and sanitation specialists who support teams that develop appropriate clean water solutions for urban and rural dwellers throughout the country. By supporting district- and community-level water and sanitation committees formed by local governments, Habitat communicates information on hygienic practices and collaborates with local organizations on decentralized wastewater treatment projects.
All of which translates to better, healthier lives.
Rice farmer Men used to dread the annual rains. Lack of drainage in the yard of her Xuan Hoa home in northern Vietnam—a space she uses to raise pigs and poultry—meant a contaminated water supply. Concerned about the safety and health of her family, Men took a 6-million-dong microfinance loan (US$350) to build a new kitchen, repair a toilet and pave the yard. Now, she says, her family feels better.
Not far away, in Hung Yen province, Phuong used to make multiple trips to fetch water from her mother's house. Her own family's lack of access to clean water meant long walks to a water pump shared by four other families. Since she could only carry a limited amount of water on her own, much of her day was taken up just walking to and from the pump. The weight of the water containers, combined with the heat of the day, made her collection effort so great that working as a day laborer and caring for her two children became nearly impossible.
But with a loan of 2 million Vietnamese dong (US$116) from Habitat's microfinance partner, the Women's Union in Hung Yen, Phuong and her husband installed a water pump outside their home. With the time and energy she formerly invested on the road between her house and the water pump, Phuong has since started a small grocery business selling items such as sugar and fish sauce to increase her family income—and to help repay the loan
Now, Phuong and her husband have taken a second microfinance loan to repair their home. She is thankful, she says, to Habitat and its partner for this better life.

Counter terrorism police arrest Sussex man accused of torture
11:32am Thursday 3rd January 2013 in News By Emily Walker, Chief reporter
A 46-year-old man was arrested today on suspicion of torture carried out during the civil war in Nepal, Scotland Yard said.
Counter-terrorism officers held the man this morning in St Leonards, and he is being questioned at a police station in the county.
The unit is responsible for investigating alleged war crimes and human rights abuses, and today's arrest relates to claims that acts of torture were committed in Nepal in 2005.
Officers are searching a residential address in St Leonards the Metropolitan Police said.
At least 13,000 people died during the conflict in Nepal, which lasted for a decade until 2006.
The United Nations said that up to 9,000 serious human rights violations could have been committed during the war, including forced disappearances, torture and executions.
The man is believed to have been a supporter of the Nepalese government during the conflict who has now been living in the UK for some years.
If charged, he could face prosecution under British law because torture is an offence of "universal jurisdiction".

Lesotho's exiled prime minister delayed a planned return on Tuesday to his country as gunfights rekindled tensions in the tiny mountain kingdom after an apparent coup. Aides to Tom Thabane told AFP that security concerns could delay plans for the embattled 75-year-old to return to the mountain kingdom from neighbouring South Africa. "We are still in Johannesburg. There is a possibility that we may not arrive in Lesotho today," Samonyane Ntsekele said.

By SUZANNE MOORE, News Editor
---- — PERU — A pedestrian-safety presentation to CV-TEC students in Plattsburgh prompted an invitation for the same talk for four other classes in the near future.
Those students are high-school juniors and seniors, and many likely have driver's licenses, said Christol Mastic, who makes the presentations in memory of her son, Brandon, who died Nov. 15, 2011, when his car struck two dark-clothed pedestrians walking on Peasleeville Road in Peru.
Those teens in the roadway, Dat. T. Ong and Chu "Allen" Xiong, also died, as did Brandon's girlfriend, Samantha Donah, who was riding with him.
"We're catching the young drivers now," said Mastic, who organized the Brandon Sorrell Scholarship Foundation, which supports the pedestrian-safety efforts.
"But we will continue to do pedestrian safety (talks) for anyone who wants them."
Through the autumn, Mastic and friends of Brandon made presentations at local schools, handing out florescent safety-green T-shirts, belts, shoelaces — as funding permitted — and safety information.
The recent Brandon Sorrell Memorial Scholarship Foundation dinner helped raise money to continue that effort and for annual scholarships for high-school seniors.
Mastic was bowled over by the many and varied donations for the event and expressed deep gratitude to all who helped and attended.
"It was great support," she said.
The dinner didn't raise quite as much money as the one held in 2012, but Mastic said the pedestrian-safety project will continue to grow regardless.
That's where her heart is, for she feels driven to raise awareness for those on foot or behind the wheel to help prevent accidents like the one that ended those four lives two years ago.
Mastic emphasizes the need to follow the rules of the road — among them keeping to the speed limit, walking or running against traffic, checking carefully before entering a roadway.
And pedestrians and motorists should take special care at dusk and after dark, when visibility is much reduced, she said.
To request a presentation or make a donation, reach Mastic at firstname.lastname@example.com.
On Jan. 1, she added, the scholarship application for 2014 will be on the foundation website, www.brandonsorrell.com. Pedestrian safety information is located there, as well.

Poisoned Pen Press: Scottsdale, AZ
By: Mary Anna Evans
Poisoned Pen Press: Scottsdale, AZ
Mary Anna Evans has maintained the high level of
quality she established in her first two Faye Longchamp novels, in this, her
third entry in the series, entitled Effigies. Once again the reader
is presented with a baffling mystery—the brutal murder of a very
unsympathetic character, a Mississippi farmer named Carroll Calhoun.
Because Calhoun had his throat cut with a flint-knapped blade, Faye and the
crew of archaeologists with whom she is working close to the murder scene
are potentially strong suspects. But then so are lots of other local
people, who found Calhoun an obnoxious neighbor.
But Mary Anna Evans gives the reader more than a
satisfying mystery—and in this case, the murderer proves to be the least
likely of suspects—as she paints with words a harsh yet loving portrait of
Neshoba County in Mississippi and its famed county fair. The fair,
described as "Mississippi's Giant Houseparty," is integral to the plot of
the novel, but it also serves as a vehicle to explore the complex cultural
and racial history of rural Mississippi. Evans writes with brutal honesty
of the class and race issues that remain close to the surface of Mississippi
society, but also of the complexity of those issues in the early 21st
Century. For Neshoba County is not far removed from the day when the Ku
Klux Klan was a formidable force; yet white farmers and African
American farmers come to Calhoun's defense when his property rights seem to
be endangered by the "outsiders," represented by Faye and the archaeology
crew working on a contract project adjacent to Calhoun's farm. And it is
the local Choctaw community that temporarily aligns with the archaeologists
as Calhoun attempts to destroy a 3,000 year old mound on his property. But
it quickly becomes evident that the alliance is fragile at best and the
local Native Americans are no fonder of the archaeologists than are the
local farmers, who feel threatened by the archaeologists and their
sponsors. Old wounds, both emotional and physical, are re-opened when a
case of brutal racial violence from more than forty years in the past is
brought into the public spotlight.
As in the first two novels in the series, the reader is
allowed to deal with this cauldron of events and emotions through the eyes
of Faye Longhamp, a truly sympathetic protagonist in the realm of
archaeology fiction. She loves the pursuit of archaeological knowledge, but
her mixed-race heritage and her working-class background make her uniquely
able to empathize with Native Americans who viscerally mistrust the
intentions of archaeologists, to understand the misgivings of landowners who
fear government intervention in the use of their land, and to understand the
fear of "outsiders" shared by many people who are close to the land. This
continues to be the continuing strength of the Fay Longchamp series—they
encourage the reader to contemplate the effects of archaeology on those most
affected by its activities: native communities and those living in the
midst of significant archaeological districts. For that alone, we who love
archaeology owe Mary Anna Evan a very real debt of gratitude.

I grew up on the Huskers and Workbook and have everything since, but I have to say this is Bob's best solo record since Workbook. The tunes are insightful and packed with energy. He's more consistent on this album than any since Sugar – Copper Blue. This will not disappoint long time fans. Turn the volume way up!
Bob Mould Biography - Bob Mould Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
30 years since the formation of Husker Du and 20 years since their explosive demise and the subsequent release of his first lauded solo effort Workbook – called a "masterpiece" by critics- Bob Mould is marking anniversaries with an album filled with self-reflection and an unflinching examination of the world around him. Standouts like "Wasted World" and "I'mSorry Baby, But You Can t Stand in My Light Anymore" highlight an artist completing a cycle decades in the making, his talent undiminished, his perspective acute. Bob Mould is one of the most influential musicians of the alternative rock era, first for his early work with post-punksHusker Du, followed by the college rock-defining pop of Sugar and finally for his solo albums, notably his first, Workbook,which quieted Mould s previous ire to reveal his fine songwriting in a new light and allowed an introspective glimpse into the inner workings of an evolving artist. With Life and Times, Mould comes full circle, reclaiming his indie songwriting mantle from the generation of musicians he inspired.

I admit I prejudged this release. I saw the Rolling Stone review and then put off purchasing. But after hearing Life and Times I had to post a positive review. C'mon people, let's get that Amazon star rating up! Life and Times is Bob Mould doing what he does best. Amazing songwriting, stunning musicianship, beautifully sequenced. Truly sounds great as an album, not a collection of songs. Rocks hard when it needs to, acoustic here and there, inventive solos, and some experimental stuff at the end. Take that Rolling Stone!
I have been listening to Bob Mould since before people told me to purchase Husker Du because I was listening to too much of Sugar.
This is Bob Mould's best and most well-rounded solo album since his
1996 solo LP "Bob Mould".
"Life and Times" is a very focused record, and has more in common with
"Modulate" and his work in the trio Sugar than his latest LPs.
If "Bob Mould," "The Last Dog and Pony Show," "District Line," "Modulate,"
and "Black Sheets of Rain" are your least favorite albums by Mould, then
you won't really find anything to like here.
However, if you particularly enjoy his electronic meanderings and his
singluarly authentic 'voice' on lead guitar, then you are in for a treat
with "Life and Times".
Although it is impossible for Mould to top his work with Sugar or
his solo masterpiece "Workbook," this is as good as he's ever sounded.
As an avid fan of almost everything Bob has done musically (come on, do you really listen to Modulate?), I followed most of the publicity prior to the release of this album, which Bob himself described as a return to his Workbook era, some 20 years ago. After the disappointment of District Line (which had only a few moments of brilliance and a many moments of mediocrity), I cautiously previewed the songs for Life and Times and was impressed enough to shell out my cash for this latest installment of Bob's impressive career.
This album is a big improvement over the aforementioned District Line – the electronics are less prominent in the mix (which Bob should ideally reserve for Blowoff) and the addition of Jon Wurster of Superchunk behind the kit has added to the sound. Bob seems re-energized by the simplicity of the songs and the production has been stripped down to fewer elements when held up against all his previous 00's releases. The bleeps and electronica soundscapes are no longer at the forefront as they were on District Line and Body of Song, and are almost completely replaced with passionate and honest performances which add to the strength of this superior collection of songwriting.
Life and Times is a 'give the people what they want' effort; the vast majority of Bob Mould die-hards want to hear compelling guitars and gritty vocals, not 'techno'! Any comparisons between Workbook would be unfair given the fact that Workbook is the greatest monument of his solo career thus far; if you are looking for Workbook 2, then you won't find it here. Life and Times would rate as his strongest collection of songs since his self-titled album from 1996. Key tracks include the opener 'Life and Times' (which, of all the tracks, would actually have fit perfectly on Workbook), 'The Breach', 'Spiraling Down' and the single 'I'm Sorry Baby…'. These four tracks alone warrant any fan of Bob Mould purchasing this strong album. This is not quite Workbook, but defintely in the upper half of his solid resume.
As with virtually all of Bob Mould's releases, I love some songs, I like some others and don't feel strongly for one or two. Overall, Life and Times is a solid release. Bob draws on his punk past, his dance DJ present, digs deep emotionally on wrenching songs like Bad Blood Letter, and throws some pop bones to his fans with the title track and I'm Sorry Baby…. Rolling Stone gave this a so-so review but I find a whole lot to like about Life and Times. Bob's the real deal. I have a long history with him and you (well, at least I) can tell that he pours a lot of himself into his music. That's all I need from a gifted musician. I'm psyched! Bob's got a new album out!

OotP to Have "Over 100 Centaurs"OotP Film
Over the years at TLC we've told you about several of the companies who create the special effects seen in the Harry Potter films. One such company, Framestore CFC is sending out their latest email with news on work they are doing for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film. The company states:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
(UK & US release July 13th 2007)
Another year, another magical adventure. Framestore CFC has been contributing fantastic VFX and creatures to the Potter films from the outset, and the boy wizard's latest adventure â his 5th â is no exception. We have been hard at work on some of the film's most demanding beings, including over 100 centaurs, a house-elf named Kreechur [sic], the return of Fawkes the Phoenix and assorted magical effects. In addition, we are creating the films title sequence for the first time.
You can see some of their work in the most recent trailer for OotP which is now on the WB Order of the Phoenix website (you can also see the earlier teaser trailer as well).
Thanks Paul!

Given that this run of Glass is limited edition and they've hand-picked to whom they go and for what reason, Ed from Philadelphia is both greedy and naive if he believes Google's letting him buy a pair to resell on eBay.

- Digital Public Library of America — public libraries sharing full text and metadata for scans, coordinating digitisation, maximum reuse. See The Verge piece. (via Dan Cohen)
- Snake Robots — I don't think this is a joke. The snake robot's versatile abilities make it a useful tool for reaching locations or viewpoints that humans or other equipment cannot. The robots are able to climb to a high vantage point, maneuver through a variety of terrains, and fit through tight spaces like fences or pipes. These abilities can be useful for scouting and reconnaissance applications in either urban or natural environments. Watch the video, the nightmares will haunt you. (via Aaron Straup Cope)
- The Power of Data in Aboriginal Hands (PDF) — critique of government statistical data gathering of Aboriginal populations. That ABS [Australian Bureau of Statistics] survey is designed to assist governments, commentators or academics who want to construct policies that shape our lives or encourage a one-sided public discourse about us and our position in the Australian nation. The survey does not provide information that Indigenous people can use to advance our position because the data is aggregated at the national or state level or within the broad ABS categories of very remote, remote, regional or urban Australia. These categories are constructed in the imagination of the Australian nation state. They are not geographic, social or cultural spaces that have relevance to Aboriginal people. [...] The Australian nation's foundation document of 1901 explicitly excluded Indigenous people from being counted in the national census. That provision in the constitution, combined with Section 51, sub section 26, which empowered the Commonwealth to make special laws for 'the people of any race, other than the Aboriginal race in any State' was an unambiguous and defining statement about Australian nation building. The Founding Fathers mandated the federated governments of Australia to oversee the disappearance of Aboriginal people in Australia.

Drone Journalism, DNS Sniffing, E-Book Lending, and Structured Data Server
- Drone Journalism — two universities in the US have already incorporated drone use in their journalism programs. The Drone Journalism Lab at the University of Nebraska and the Missouri Drone Journalism Program at the University of Missouri both teach journalism students how to make the most of what drones have to offer when reporting a story. They also teach students how to fly drones, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and ethics.

Why We Make, Kickstarter Stats, Dodgy Domains, and Pretty Pretty Pictures
- Reality Bytes — We make things because that's how we understand. We make things because that's how we pass them on, and because everything we have was passed on to us as a made object. We make things in digital humanities because that's how we interpret and conserve our inheritance. Because that's how we can make it all anew. Librarians, preservation, digital humanities, and the relationship between digital and physical. Existential threats don't scare us. We're librarians.
- Kickstarter Stats — as Andy Baio said, it's the one Kickstarter feature that competitors won't be rushing to emulate. Clever way to emphasize their early lead.
- ICANN is Wrong (Dave Winer) — Dave is right to ask why nobody's questioning the lack of public registration in the new domains. You can understand why, say, the Australia-New Zealand bank wouldn't let Joe Random register in .anz, but Amazon are proposing to keep domains like .shop, .music, .app for their own products. See all the bidders for the new gTLDs on the ICANN web site.
- The Art of GPS (Daily Mail) — beautiful visualizations of uncommon things, such as the flights that dead bodies make when they're being repatriated to their home states. Personally, I think they tend too much to the "pretty" and insufficient to the "informative" or "revealing", but then I'm notorious for being too revealing and insufficiently informative.

Canada Shoots Self In Brain, Voracious Mobile Phone, Using Tech in Education, and Mac Tool
- Canada Wages War on Knowledge — Library and Archives Canada is ending acquisitions, not digitizing material, dispersing its collection to underfunded private and public collections around Canada, and providing little in the way of access to the scraps they did keep.

Inside Personalized Advertising, Printing Presses Were Good For The Economy, Digital Access, and Ebooks in Libraries
- Web-Scale User Modeling for Targeting (Yahoo! Research, PDF) — research paper that shows how online advertisers build profiles of us and what matters (e.g., ads we buy from are more important than those we simply click on). Our recent surfing patterns are more relevant than historical ones, which is another indication that value of data analytics increases the closer to real-time it happens. (via Greg Linden)
- Information Technology and Economic Change — research showing that cities which adopted the printing press no prior growth advantage, but subsequently grew far faster than similar cities without printing presses. [...] The second factor behind the localisation of spillovers is intriguing given contemporary questions about the impact of information technology. The printing press made it cheaper to transmit ideas over distance, but it also fostered important face-to-face interactions. The printer's workshop brought scholars, merchants, craftsmen, and mechanics together for the first time in a commercial environment, eroding a pre-existing "town and gown" divide.
- They Just Don't Get It (Cameron Neylon) — curating access to a digital collection does not scale.
- Should Libraries Get Out of the Ebook Business? — provocative thought: the ebook industry is nascent, a small number of patrons have ereaders, the technical pain of DRM and incompatible formats makes for disproportionate support costs, and there are already plenty of worthy things libraries should be doing. I only wonder how quickly the dynamics change: a minority may have dedicated ereaders but a large number have smartphones and are reading on them already.
Publishing News: Ereader ownership doubles, again
Two surveys bode well for digital publishing, HMH teams with Amazon, and books aren't the library's only game.
One survey said ereader and tablet ownership doubled during the holidays; a second showed that Amazon may not be losing money on its Kindle Fire sales. Also, Amazon got a new print edition distributor and the library discussion elevated beyond ebooks.

Following an injury to senior running back Torrey Green on the first play from scrimmage, the speedster knew he would have to take on a bigger role in the backfield if he and his Bulldog teammates wanted to escape with a win on Friday.
Harris single-handedly lifted the Bulldogs to a 41-35 victory with a 238-yard, five-touchdown performance on 23 carries as Hanceville held off a gutsy effort from the Yellow Jackets.
Hanceville (6-1, 4-1 in Class 3A, Region 7) raced out to a 22-7 halftime lead on the back on three touchdowns runs — 2, 31 and 34 yards — from Harris, while holding Winston County (3-4, 2-3) to just 118 total yards.
However, the Yellow Jackets weren't about to be turned away so easily.
They shredded Hanceville's defense for three scores on their first three possessions of the third stanza, including long runs of 39 and 53 yards from junior tailback Cody Henderson. A 2-yard scamper from Quinton Pagay late in the quarter gave Winston County its first lead at 28-22.
The tide turned for Hanceville with about two minutes left in the third, as sophomore cornerback Jose Orozco picked off a Timber Blankenship pass in his own end zone and returned it 40 yards to put a stop to a potential Yellow Jacket scoring drive.
Nine plays later, the Bulldogs tied the game at 28 apiece on a 5-yard scoring scamper from Zack Cooper.
Although Hanceville's D wasn't at its best on Friday, it made the plays when needed — especially in the fourth quarter — allowing just 32 total yards, while securing a couple of sacks and a game-saving interception from Dant'e Reese.
Harris went on to add his final score of the game — a 43-yard, untouched burst up the middle — to secure the win for the Bulldogs heading into next week's matchup with Danville.
Hanceville ended up with 396 rushing yards on the evening, with Carlos Chacon contributing 85 of those on 13 carries to help out Harris. Cooper added 73 yards of his own on nine totes.
With just two region games left on the docket, Miller knows his team has its fate in its hands, as they draw ever closer to securing a first-round, home playoff game in November.
Winston County (3-4, 2-3) plays at Hamilton in another region showdown next week.
