All were returned to prison custody and referred to Birmingham Crown Court where they are appearing together on Tuesday morning.

A further update on the issue, guys; I began taking magnesium tablets two days ago, and so far have had no cramps at all. The jury's still out though!
I have the same problem with leg cramps. My doctor recommended magnesium and it worked but after awhile I got a reaction and could not take it anymore. Now I've been taking Hyland's Leg Cramp pills. I think they've got quinine in them. They are a homeopathic type treatment and they work for me. The only problem is that they're only good for four hours or so. I take two at bedtime and usually make it all night (7 1/2 hours). Might be worth looking at.
Every hunting season you miss is one you can not make up.
I'll check `em out, Moose; The magnesium seems to be working so far. I decided to test it yesterday, so didn't take the evening pills after scything my "back 40". Hadn't used the scythe for quite a while, and worked up a good sweat doing so. Then a serious period of relaxation after dinner with a good cigar. This usually brings out the cramp gremlin, and sure enough, as I got out of bed this morning, there he was, waiting for me!
There's an old folk remedy for night-time cramps, sleeping with a bar of soap in your bed. I know this sounds flaky and I was/am skeptical myself, but my Mom swears by it. If you google "bar of soap" and "leg cramps," you will get lots of info. Doesn't cost much to try.
Sorry about the late reply but for those just checking in; Try LEGATRIN PM (Wal mart, keep looking, they're there). I get horrendously bad leg cramps after an extremely hard day of walking/climbing and one of these pills when the cramp hits and the cramp disappears in about one minute. Might be a placebo for all I know and I don't give a hoot...they work!!!
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. M.T.

Amarillo, TX - We've learned that at least five area residents are on board the stranded Carnival cruise ship.
The owner of the McDonalds in Borger tells us his area supervisor Carol Schuffert and manager Jenneane Embers are passengers on the boat.
The owner of the McDonalds in Dumas says two of his managers are also passengers.
We're told hundreds of McDonald's employees had won a Coca-Cola incentive award in which the cruise was included.
Also on board the boat is the daughter of Kirk Hill, owner of Hill's Sports Shop.
He says after not speaking to his daughter since Monday, he was able to today and was relieved.

The battle was between the third-ranked Lynn Bears, perceived as the favorite — or one of the unlikely lower-seeded teams ... including the defending state champions Parrish Tornadoes.
Another storyline had developed with the Tornadoes' loss in the opening day of the tournament — a loss in the loser's bracket and elimination from qualifying also pointed to an end of Parrish athletics.
With last month's announcement from the Walker County Board of Education of Parrish's closure at the end of the school year, the conclusion of the Tornadoes' softball season — a part of the athletic program that had become a great source of pride with its elite-level play — would signal the end Parrish athletics.
I can't say whether or not the gravity of such an event affected the young ladies that took to the field on Thursday. The Tornadoes weren't going down without a fight and came ever-so close to defeating the Marion County Red Raiders and earning the right to play Lynn for the final qualifying spot.
The few seconds of merriment and celebration by the Red Raiders was quickly ceased as spectators, players and coaches realized what was announced over the public address system: the Parrish Tornadoes have just participated in their final event as an athletic program.
A program that had attained great success in so many of its athletic ventures was no more — with it, years of rivalries, unforgettable memories and scores of talented players in every sport forever became a part of the past.
The affect couldn't be hidden any longer, as tears flowed down the faces of the Lady Tornadoes and well as their supporters in attendance — many of whom had taken the trip to Montgomery less than a year ago to watch last year's Parrish squad win the Class 1A state championship.
In an extremely classy and respectful move to a worthy and formidable opponent, Sumiton Christian softball coach Jessica Aderholt and her players requested the Tornadoes join them on the field for a final salute to Parrish athletics, also giving each girl a game ball and a rose while a standing ovation from the crowd added praise to the emotional event.
It was hard not to get swept up in the moment — no matter what side of the fence you were standing on. As someone who has covered Parrish athletics for eight years, it's sad to see such a program with such a proud tradition and scores of accolades and achievements see its end.
Since the beginning of the new millennium, the Tornadoes have enjoyed a level of success in several sports — capturing two state championships in the process.
In 2003, the Parrish football team captured a 1A state championship when Tony Dixon, Cole Mason and TJ Lake led the Tornadoes into Legion Field and beat American Christian Academy 20-17 for the trophy.
Ten years later, an All-star cast that included Grayson Culverson, Savannah Jones, Mackenzie Morgan and Taylor Winchester left Montgomery's Lagoon Park with the state title in softball.
There's been near-misses in other years throughout Parrish athletics.
The 1998 football team lost 24-21 to Brantley in the state championship game and the 1992 football team fell to Billingsley by a single point, 13-12, in the title game.
This year, the boys basketball team advanced to the state championship game after capturing county, area and region gold.
Parrish football has experienced hills and valleys since the 2003 title, but has shown that when brought together by a quality coach, the Tornadoes were playoff contenders — advancing to the fourth round as recently as 2010.
I know I'll miss hearing the Friday night sirens and the trademark catch phrase "There's a tornado warning in Parrish, Alabama!" during football season, seeing the "Purple Tornado" dance at basketball games or watching a home run fly over the "Purple Monster" during softball season.
A favorite moment I'll always take with me came this year, when "Go Parrish" signs and posts on Facebook and Twitter were commonplace along with well-wishes to Walker County's American Idol contestant C.J. Harris during the Tornadoes championship run in basketball. The two worlds would come together when Harris posted good luck wishes to his former Maddox Middle School and current Parrish coach Heath Burns and the team before the title game on social media.
Obviously, nothing can take away the sorrow felt by so many in and around Parrish High School at the school's closure — but great memories are priceless and through their many athletic endeavours, the Tornadoes provided plenty to keep their fans smiling for decades to come. Through those memories, Parrish athletics will live forever.

Stars To Come Out For Santa Dash
1:53pm Monday 30th November 2009 in Where's Santa
Marie-Clare Scott meets runners and organisers Andrew Williams, Councillor Keith Cafferty, Sally Capener, Michael Oakes, Sue Togay, Mayor of Nantwich Edith Williams, Paul Newman, Santa mascots Morgan Zwijnen, Ross Williams and Cameron Oakes.
HUNDREDS of Santas - and a handful of celebrity helpers - will be turning out for a charity Santa Dash around Nantwich this Christmas.
The event will be launched on Sunday December 20, when hoards of people will pound the pavements in a sea of red-and-white Father Christmas costumes.
Famous faces attending the star-studded event in aid of Railway Children, include Big Brother winner Sophie Reade, X-factor singer Marie-Clare Scott and Premiership footballer Ryan Shawcross.
After the 2.5km and 5km races, there will be a chance to ice-skate at Nantwich Winter Wonderland situated at Residence Restaurant and Bar on Mill Street.
And a white Christmas is guaranteed with a snow machine on hand, along with mulled wine and mince pies.
The fun starts at 9.30am when runners can begin to collect their Santa suits from the Residence.
A few songs will then be performed in the town centre by X-Factor singer Marie-Clare, before the Mayors of Nantwich and Cheshire East say a few words to motivate the fundraisers.
This will be followed by a pre-race warm-up from Crewe Hall fitness staff.
Spectators and families can 'get their skates on' at Residence's synthetic ice-rink, visit Santa's grotto or enjoy a spot of face-painting fun.
Both races will start at 10.30am in Nantwich Town Square and runners will complete two or four laps of the route.
On crossing the finish line, model Sophie Reade and footballer Ryan Shawcross will reward all participants with medals and goody bags.
A trophy presentation will then take place at the Residence bar at 12noon.
In the evening, Santa Dashers can return to Nantwich for an after-dash party at the Residence.
There will be free ice-skating between 6pm and 8pm for runners and families.
Registration is £15 for adults and £12.50 for children. This includes a free Santa suit.
Participants are also asked to raise £20 sponsorship for Railway Children.
The charity works with neglected and abandoned street children across the UK, with additional projects in India and Africa.
Singer Marie-Clare Scott said: "It's such a fabulous cause - as soon as I heard about the street children and their sad stories, I was delighted to sing at the event.
"I hope the Santa Dash will raise lots of money to help save many young lives.
"I'm really excited about singing in front of all the runners at the start line because I'm hoping to spread some festive cheer with my performance!
"I think the atmosphere should be amazing with hundreds of Santas coming together to make this an historic event."
Sue Togay, town centre manager for Cheshire East Council, said: "We are proud to welcome all the runners – and a few famous faces – to the wonderful town of Nantwich.
"As sponsors of this charity event, we are pleased that so many residents from across Cheshire have chosen to run the Nantwich Santa Dash.
"It's a very historic town, with over 100 listed buildings and many beautiful timber-clad shops - we hope that everyone will enjoy the sights."
Cheshire East Councillor Jamie Macrae said: "I am delighted Cheshire East Council is involved in the Santa Run.
"I sincerely hope lots of people get involved. The Railway Children Charity is an outstanding organisation and deserves our support."

Bow-Meow-Ween Pet Costume Contest
A Pair of Pandas
- Contest Photo by: samuraijen
- Eden Prairie, MN
- Category: Horror-ific Hounds
Brief Description:
Arthur and Gordon Ramsay wanted to be pandas for Howl-Ween. Because they already look like teddy bears, it was an easy transformation. Instead of buying hard to find panda costumes, they were dyed with pet safe non-toxic temporary color done by their mom, a professional pet groomer who owns Clean as a Whisker. Now they can be cute cuddly pandas for more than one night!!
Contest Photo Tips and Guidelines:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your gingerbread house or holiday cookie is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

Thanks guys
Yeah my legs are definitely my genetic strongpoint. I guess they're filled to the brim with fast twitch fibres, I can jump and sprint pretty well.
They were already 24 inches before I even started training, probably from all the basketball I used to play.
Then just regular full high bar Olympic squats (knees over toes), sometimes lunges and stepups have filled them out. They measure about 26.75 inches now, yet I can't squat all that much - probably end up at 30 inches by the time I get to a 405 lb full squat for reps - not sure that would be a good idea though
But if I ever get my waist to 29, that would be something else
Spawn X
Natural as in no hormone chemicals like steriods and GH etc. I do take Whey protein powder and vitamins, to not do so would be crazy, I train explosively and intensely!

Canucks' Mason Raymond hopeful of return
Moving forward through the many 'stages' on his road to recovery
By Jason Botchford, The Province
In late July, Raymond did receive a text message from Boychuk.
"He said he didn't mean to," Raymond said. "Incidents happen. Obviously I'm frustrated not to finish the game or the season, nor am I starting the season here. I'll move on and get stronger for it."
Coincidentally, Nathan Horton said he felt disrespected this summer after Aaron Rome sent him a text to apologize for the late hit which concussed the Bruins forward. Horton said he wanted at least a phone call from Rome.
Horton's comments initiated a debate in Boston about whether Rome owed him more than a text message. So, now, maybe people in Vancouver will do the same regarding Boychuk. On the play, Boychuk continued contact with Raymond as the pair went into the boards long after Ryan Kesler had picked up the puck and made a play with it.

Cowboys OLB Anthony Spencer signed his franchise-tag tender on Monday, guaranteeing his $8.856 million salary for the 2012 season.
Spencer, a first-round pick of the team in 2007, has recorded 21½ sacks in five seasons. He has played in all 48 games for Dallas the past three years, starting 47 of them, mainly playing across from All-Pro DeMarcus Ware.
In his career, Spencer has recorded 266 tackles to go along with 10 forced fumbles and one interception.
The way we see it
Cowboys fans can be glad that Spencer now should be a full contributor in the entire offseason program with the tender signed. But it also puts him in a familiar place: in the crosshairs. He's entering his second straight contract season and must produce more in the pressure department opposite Ware in order to earn the long-term deal from Dallas that he is looking for.

The City of Gulfport is working to balance the needs of boaters and other visitors who use the new harbor and Jones Park.
Some boat owners have complained about the new parking arrangements at the Gulfport Harbor. They've also raised concerns that the boat ramps are closed for several days prior to a music festival or other big event in Jones Park.
"We know it's a little different than it had been before," said David D'Aquilla, the Assistant Director for the Department of Leisure Services in Gulfport.
He said there have been changes for those who use the harbor boat ramps. Boaters can no longer park their trailers across from the boat ramp; that paved lot is reserved for park patrons and Ship Island customers. The new spot for boaters is farther away, in front of the Coast Guard Station.
"We have three acres that we've set aside here. Right now it's limestone parking, to accommodate the boater traffic, to accommodate trailers and trucks. The design on the boat launch ramps has a nice turn around area for boaters," said D'Aquilla. "We have an area for boaters to stage and we have five ramps available. They're able to come in and load or unload at the boat launch ramp."
One of the biggest complaints we've heard from boaters is the distance from the boat ramp to the new parking lot. And while it's certainly not as close as the old parking area, it's not that far either.
"And we realize it's not as convenient as it was before, but we have handicap accessibility from here to the boat launch ramps and we feel it will get you from point A to point B," said D'Aquilla.
Another concern expressed by some boat owners: The ramps are closed for several days prior to a festival or big concert event in the park. That's a safety and liability issue for the city, giving set-up crews enough space to safely install stages and equipment.
D'Aquilla said there may be a way to keep one or two ramps open while maintaining that safety zone.
"Our goal is to keep evaluating what we're doing, keep evaluating what we can do better and try to put those changes in place to make it something everybody can come out here and enjoy," said D'Aquilla.
The city will keep boaters posted about any changes in the future.
A new bait shop at the harbor is scheduled to open in March. Work also continues on the Harbor Market Pavilion, which should be finished in the next few weeks.

Rod Aycox Provides Essential Financial Resources
Rod Aycox is head and operator to many financial companies in the county. These entities have provided assistance to thousands of people in need of financial loans within the country. He helps them obtain money when they face financial crises. Indeed, it can be difficult to obtain a few dollars that one can use until his next payday has arrived. It is a problem that a lot of people struggle to face from month to month. There will always be bills that needed to be paid on a particular deadline. Sometimes, if one waits for his check from the next salary, this only means going for days without the necessary money to pay the bills that he needs to settle. In other words, a lot of bills go unpaid on time only because money is still not available. Bills continue to pile up, which eventually leads to a lot financial problems.
Rod Aycox offers his payday loans company to help in settling such financial programs. The fact is that the key to solving such short-term financial obstacles is to make sure that there is a source of money to pay the bills until one's next payday arrives. Rod Aycox fully understands the issues at hand. And so, he makes sure that his company only offers affordable short-term loans which allow individuals to obtain the money that they desperately need, whenever they need it. An essential reason why many of these loans are so popular these days is the fact that they can be quite easy to get. Rod Aycox companies make loans available to those with little or even no credit at all. If there exists problems in the credit, these will automatically be a reason for many banks to reject an application. Rod Aycox, on the other hand, believes that lacking in requirements should not be a reason to be deprived of loans.
Rod Aycox makes sure that people are able to get access to the easiest and most convenient loans and financial aids ever. As it is, one of the most difficult situations that people can find themselves into is when they have to wait for long periods of time when it comes to the approval and securing of their loans. Needless to say, long waiting time is one of the most common complaints of those who apply for loans. Naturally, people want to get loans because they need to pay financial responsibilities at the soonest time possible. Fortunately, Rod Aycox helps to provide effective solutions to these various problems that involve loan application. He makes sure that loans are easily available for anyone who needs them, for whatever purpose they might have. There is simply nothing for anyone to worry about anymore especially when it comes to him making it to the next payday. This is because Rod Aycox Companies are now available to provide payday loans.
Mattress Cover
A waterproof mattress cover is an extremely helpful accessory for the defence of your living mattress where you doze at evening. It can save you the needless annoyance of having to clean your mattress if it were to be soiled.
Unfortunately, it is only a issue of time before you will end up in a position in which you will wish that you had a waterproof mattress cover defending your bedding.
Let's take for demonstration, the position in which you have small children in your house. possibly they are in the process of potty teaching, or they are pain from bedwetting issues. If either of these are the case, then there is no question that a waterproof mattress cover could arrive in handy to defend your mattress from getting dirty.
Tragically, no matter how hard you try, it isn't that very simple to completely eradicate and remove every last find of whole body fluid stains from your mattress. Some residual odors or stains will permanently remain embedded inside the mattress fibers. A waterproof mattress cover is impermeable to most fluids, making it the perfect solution to deal with this type of difficulty. If the waterproof mattress cover becomes dirty, all you have to do is wash it in the laundry. Your mattress itself will remain dry and unharmed.

Father-Daughter Legislative Team Splitting in 2014 Election Races
As Shantel Krebs puts people on notice that she's going to be running for Secretary of State, another up and coming legislator is also privately putting friends on notice that she intends to move up in the world.
Republican State Representative Jenna Haggar, who entered the House of Representatives in 2010 as an independent in the toughest district for Republicans in the state, and now enjoys safer territory as a Republican in District 10 after redistricting in 2012, is telling friends of her intent to run for the seat being vacated by Krebs.
Haggar, the Vice Chair of House Education, who also sits on Health and Human Services is one of those candidates who has always left nothing for granted. Put succinctly, Jenna campaigns hard, and would be an early favorite for the open seat.
Jenna's departure for the Senate leaves an open seat in the District 10 House race, where her seatmate happens to be her father. Don Haggar, was elected for his first term of office in 2012.
In 2012, both Haggars disposed of former Mayor Dave Munson in the June Primary, who many anticipated would have a better showing against Jenna, a bubbly slip of a young woman, and her first-time candidate father. It proved to everyone that campaigning runs in the Haggar family, and you underestimate them at your peril.
Interestingly enough, the Haggars might be the first father-daughter team to serve together in the house from the same district.
However, Representatives Dean and Debra Anderson, representing different districts had an earlier honor of being an earlier father-daughter team serving in the House together. Like the Haggars, Debra (representing Sioux Falls) had been elected first, and both were followed by their fathers.
Debra later followed George Bush to Washington, where she served as White House director of intergovernmental relations. And her father later served as director for the ASCS, and later as Secretary of Agriculture under Governor Janklow.
There's no word at this point who else might seek the Senate seat, or who might contemplate the now open House seat.
And while it's a little sad that they'll no longer be serving in the House together, given their history, any opponents should be prepared for the Haggar's to be formidable candidates, no matter what office they're running for.

23 Oct 2010
Tony Award-winning director George C. Wolfe (Angels in America; Caroline, or Change) helms the production that is centered in New Orleans following the Haitian slave revolts, when its large population of Free People of Color (or the "Gens de Couleur Libres") inhabited a city that was more European than American in the early 17th century.
The expansive production, which shifts its setting across the globe from New Orleans, to Haiti, to Napoleon's court, delayed the start of Broadway previews from Oct. 21 to Oct. 23 in order to allow for additional technical rehearsals.
A Free Man of Color will open as scheduled Nov. 18.
The production has set design by David Rockwell, costume design by Ann Hould-Ward, lighting design by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, sound design by Scott Stauffer, original music by Jeanine Tesori and choreography by Hope Clarke.
According to LCT, "A Free Man of Color is a freewheeling epic set in 1801 New Orleans. Jacques Cornet, the title character, is a new world Don Juan and the wealthiest inhabitant of this sexually charged and racially progressive city. Jacques thinks all is well in his paradise until history intervenes, setting off a chain of events which no one, much less this free man of color, realizes is about to splinter the world."
A Free Man of Color marks Guare's return to LCT after his plays The House of Blue Leaves, Six Degrees of Separation, Four Baboons Adoring The Sun and Chaucer in Rome all received their premieres there. The play marks Wolfe's LCT debut.
Guare's plays include Six Degrees of Separation, House of Blue Leaves, Four Baboons Adoring the Sun, Landscape of the Body and the book to the musical Sweet Smell of Success. He earned Tony Awards for the book and lyrics to the 1971 musical Two Gentlemen of Verona.
For tickets visit the Vivian Beaumont box office (150 West 65th Street), Telecharge or LCT.

Soil organic carbon (CLIM 027) - Assessment published Sep 2008
Generic metadata
Climate change (Primary topic)
Typology: Descriptive indicator (Type A - What is happening to the environment and to humans?)
Key policy question: ..
Key messages
- Soil in the EU contains around 71 gigatonnes of organic carbon, nearly 10 % of the carbon accumulated in the atmosphere. An increase in temperature and a reduction in moisture tend to accelerate the decomposition of organic material, leading to a decline in soil organic carbon stocks in Europe and an increase in CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. This could wipe out all the savings that other sectors of the economy are achieving to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
- Losses of soil organic carbon have already been observed in measurements in various European regions over the past 25 years.
- The projected changes in the climate during the 21st century will change the contribution of soil to the CO2 cycle in most areas of the EU. Adapted land-use and management practices could be implemented to counterbalance the climate-induced decline of carbon levels in soil.
Changes in soil organic carbon content across England and Wales between 1978 and 2003
Note: The map shows the difference in soil organic carbon content
Bellamy, P. H.; Loveland, P. J.; Bradley, R. I.; Lark, R. M. and Kirk, G. J. D., 2005. Carbon losses from all soils across England and Wales 1978-2003. Nature 437: 245248.
Projected changes in soil organic carbon for cropland 1990-2080
Note: Predicted changes in soil organic carbon for croplands 1990–2080. The image on the left shows changes due to climate change only while the map on the right shows changes as a result of variations in net primary production and the advent of new technologies related to crop management (e.g. machinery, pesticides, herbicides, agronomic knowledge of farmers) and breeding (development of higher yielding varieties through improved stress resistance and/or yield potential) that result in yield increases.
Smith, P.; Smith, J.; Wattenbach, M.; Meyer, J.; Lindner, M.; Zaehle, S.; Hiederer, R.; Jones, R. J. A.; Montanarella, L.; Rounsevell, M.; Reginster, I. and Kankaanpää, S., 2006. Projected changes in mineral soil carbon of European forests, 1990-2100. Canadian Journal of Soil Science 86: 159169.
Key assessment
Past trends
In the past, losses in organic carbon in the soil were driven mainly by conversion of land for the production of agricultural crops. A survey of Belgian croplands (210 000 soil samples taken between 1989 and 1999) indicates a mean annual loss in organic carbon of 76 gCm-2 (Sleutel et al., 2003). A large-scale inventory in Austria estimated that croplands were losing 24 gCm-2 annually (Dersch and Boehm, 1997). The general intensification of farming in the past is likely to have exceeded the effect of changes in the climate on soil organic carbon on agricultural land. Peat lands in Europe have been a significant sink for atmospheric CO2 since the last glacial maximum. Currently they are estimated to hold about 42 Gt carbon, about 60 % of all carbon stocked in European soils, and are therefore a considerable component of the European carbon budget (Byrne et al., 2004). The annual loss of carbon due to drainage of peat lands is in the range of 0 to 47 gCm-2 (Lappalainen, 1996).
The amount of organic carbon in the soil is determined mainly by the balance between net primary production (NPP) from vegetation and the rate of decomposition of the organic material. Without an increase in NPP, soil carbon for cropland may decrease by 9 to 12 t C ha-1. When taking account of changes in NPP and technological advances, the amount of organic carbon on cropland could increase by 1-7 t C ha-1 (Smith, et al., 2005). Figure 2 shows that climate change may cause loss (red) of soil organic carbon for most areas in Europe. This decline could be reversed (blue) if adaptation measures in the agricultural sector to enhance soil carbon were implemented. It should be noted that these modelled projected changes are very uncertain.

By SHERRY VAN ARSDALL
President Obama called upon Congress Wednesday to toughen America's gun laws. Obama announced plans to introduce legislation by next week that includes a ban on assault weapons, limits on high-capacity magazines, expanded background checks for gun purchases and new gun trafficking laws to crack down on the spread of weapons across the country.
Indiana 3rd District Congressman Marlin Stutzman, a Republican, said he will oppose the President's assault-weapons ban.
"The Founders enshrined the American right to keep and bear arms in the Constitution," Stutzman said. "The Obama Administration has a long track record of advocating policies that infringe on the liberty and freedom of the citizenry and, unfortunately, today's proposals follow the same pattern.
"As the father of two young sons, I will work to ensure our nation's children are safe while also protecting the rights and freedoms of future generations. I urge the President to join me and parents across the country in condemning Hollywood's irresponsible glorification of violence."
Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman said he likes local control on the issue of gun control legislation.
"There needs to be room for common sense," Kauffman said. "The federal government and states aren't doing anything."
The mayor said he believes the majority of the members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) wouldn't be opposed to some legislation.
"The silent majority of the NRA needs to speak up, they need to stand up to their leadership," Kauffman said. "The access to automatic weapons is too great and the NRA doesn't always preach common sense. There's no one solution. We need a multiple point approach. I don't know why common sense doesn't prevail."
Nathan Hughes, a sales representative with Rocket Guns in Goshen, said gun control legislation should remain at the state level and not at the national level. The concerns he sees with the broader action on guns is the infringement on people's Second Amendment rights.
Obama also promised to act without Congressional approval to increase the enforcement of existing gun laws and improve the flow of information among federal agencies to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and others who shouldn't have them.
Hughes said he thinks the change would be good to make the background checks system more accurate and to make it harder for people that don't buy from gun shops.
"Control the black market on guns," Hughes said.

Sated Saturdays: Ilaputi Cebu
Happy Sinulog to our Cebuano friends! Because we can't be in Cebu tonight, we're bringing Cebu to us instead with our dining diary of Ilaputi, the amazing Asian and fusion restaurant of Chef Jan "Puti" Rodriguez. (Ilaputi translates into "At Puti's place.")
Ilaputi is located at the IT Park in Lahug, and we happened by the restaurant during our recent visit to Cebu. We were looking for places to check out and have been hearing nothing but good reviews, so we headed there with our photographer friend Lea after doing a couple of school talks that afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that despite its decidedly upscale ambience and sumptuous dishes in big servings, none of Ilaputi's menu items go above P300. Now that's bang for your buck.
Our drinks! Blended Pink Lemonade, Citrus Sunburst, and Strawberry-Kiwi Slush. The right blend of healthy, refreshing and yummy in each tall glass.
Our starter: Phoenix Mandarin salad. It has diced grilled rosemary chicken breast fillets, diced apples, onions, almonds and mandarin oranges with sweet creamy citrus dressing. It was enough to have us work up an appetite without taking up a lot of space in our tummies.
Saigon Adobo. Lemongrass tenderloin tips with garlic shrimp fried rice and nuoc-nam (Vietnamese fish sauce dip). After tasting this flavorful dish, it was easy to see why this adobo is one of Ilaputi's classic bestsellers.
Dragon Chop. Overnight marinated grilled garlic pork chop with garlic-cilantro yoghurt, spicy mango chutney and butter-raisin fried rice. Think marinated pork chop with sour cream and atsara, but with an interesting and mouth-watering twist. One word: yum!
Shai's favorite: The Stroganov. A creamy plate of tenderloin tips in rich sour cream mushroom sauce with garlic stir-fried rice. It's one of those comfort foods you're always in the mood for, no matter what time of day.
Seph's favorite: Grilled Chinese Chicken Jambalaya. Hoisin-glazed chicken breast fillets tossed with Hungarian and Chinese sausages on top of Oriental stir-fried rice. For fans of rice toppings and fried-rice dishes with lots of stuff mixed in.
It was already dark and drizzling when we got out of Ilaputi, our tummies filled with good food and our souls filled with comfort. And as we're both fond of rainshowers, it was definitely a nice way to cap an amazing day. ♥
Ilaputi is at I2 Building, Asiatown IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City. Open 24 hours Mondays-Saturdays, closed 7am-4pm Sundays. For more, follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Equipped with proven technology from the DT-V Series of monitors series – including an IPS panel, switchable colour space, high-resolution waveform and vectorscope – the new 3D monitor accepts and processes signals from dual camera systems, stereo-rigs and coded Side-by-Side and Line-by-Line 3D signals.
Uniquely, the monitor has a built-in 3D scale function that allows you to measure the amount of binocular disparity by pixels or percentage in real time. This is critical to broadcast delivery specifications, where they are very strict with positive and negative parameters.
The DT-3D24G1 features an Xpol Circular Polarising System, while a built-in mixer function enables 3D checking on location without the need for any additional equipment. The 3D production monitor can also be battery operated for true field use.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A lot of people heard the President give a shout out to the University of Wisconsin men's basketball Team at the beginning of his speech Thursday. The Badgers got a quick meeting with Obama and it may have been the result of one player's efforts on Twitter.
"First of all, I've got to just point out that some members of the Badgers basketball team are here, they're getting ready for the season coming up -- they've invited me to play," President Obama said to the crowd of 30,000 just after taking the podium.
And that invitation was initially sent out by red shirt junior Zach Bohannon on Tuesday. "It was kind of a joke at first," Bohannon told 27 News about his tweet.
It read, "@BarackObama, Sir, the Wisconsin bball team extends an offer 2 play open gym on Thursday before or after ur talk. Badgers RETWEET 4 support!"
It was retweeted, and then one of Bohannon's teammates took it from there. "George Marshall was on the phone with the White House a couple of times," Bohannon said. It was ultimately the Chicago-native's connections that secured the meeting.
The team was given VIP passes and practice was canceled. "He walked into the room and said hey everyone and then he paused for a second, before he went behind the curtain and said 'hey guys' and did a basketball shot and pointed at our basketball team," Bohannon said.
The President also talked with the players for a few minutes before hitting the stage and in proper fashion, comments from them ensued on Twitter.
"Iv been a part of some really cool things in my life but getting to meet and talk basketball with President Obama definitely takes the cake," tweeted Mike Bruesewitz.
Sam Dekker tweeted, "What an experience to meet Mr. President!"
And for Bohannon, the man who may have started it all with a tweet it was "just one of those things that you won't ever forget."

Freedom Dining in the Meridian was very enjoyable with good quality food well presented and hot,the staff though very busy were attentive and professional.
The "Seventeen" fine dining restaurant was worth every penny of the £58 surcharge and was an experience to treasure.Sindhu was a little disappointing in that the food though good was served by a bored,tired Waitress and was not worth the £40 surcharge.
72 for 2 people to take the coach to Brugge was bordering on usury,so we took the free shuttle bus to Blankenberg station and for the princely sum of 11Euros 80 return for 2 tickets we enjoyed the 15 minute journey to Brugge and a had a very nice time exploring this very pretty but very busy town.
Guernsey was a bit of a disappointment as we arrived on a Sunday and it was shut!
Entertainment on board was varied and ranged from awful to brilliant with Charlotte and Jonathan being brilliant.
All in all a nice relaxing break on a well run very hard worked ship at a great price and we wholeheartedly recommend it.

Which plugin to replicate this Flash hover animation in jQuery?
I'm fairly new to using jQuery animation to replicate Flash like animation. In particular, I'm hoping you could please point me in the right direction to replicate the following Flash hover animation in jQuery? Any plugins that would help? Here's the flash template below:
I have already created all the necessary frames for the circle "rings" for the big circle. Not quite sure what I need to do about the smaller floating circle. I came across this plugin, not sure if it is the right one: Frame Animation Plugin for jQuery | jQuery Plugins
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Allerpet D for Dogs
|The Allerpet D solution for dogs is formulated specifically for dogs and for people who are allergic to dogs. Allerpet D cleanses the hair of dander, saliva, and sebaceous gland secretions, the antigens considered to be the prime causes of allergic reactions to dogs. For people who are allergic to dogs Cleanses dogs' hair of allergic reaction-causing antigens Non-toxic & safe for dogs & puppies Allerpet D helps people who are allergic to dogs. It is non-toxic and completely safe to use on puppies. Directions:First: Use a fine to medium toothed metal comb for cats and a pin or slicker brush for dogs to remove as much dead hair as possible. Clean the comb or brush frequently and deposit the hair into a waste basket. Next: Place a large terry towel under the animal. Wet a washcloth with Allerpet and thoroughly run it over the animal, first, against the lay of the hair and then with it. Pay attention to the areas that the pet licks most often, especially around the genitals and the base of the tail.SUBSEQUENT APPLICATIONS:Allerpet D should be applied once each week. Combing or brushing will vary with individual pets. It does not have to be done each time you apply Allerpet D unless your pet is out of doors frequently or it is 'pollen season'. The longer a cat or dog resides in your home and is allowed freedom of access to all rooms, the more likely it is that large amounts of Fel d1 and dander will have accumulated. Pet allergens become deeply embedded in the carpets and furniture. Consequently, you may find that you have to apply Allerpet D more frequently during the first few weeks, because of the previously deposited Fel d1 and dander. Allergy sufferers will also find that it is beneficial to brush and comb their cats or dogs regularly, especially those that are permitted to roam out of doors. This will keep tangles that tend to collect dirt, dander and pollen from forming. Even more important, it removes loose hair before it has a chance to circulate throughout the house.Pets that shed heavily will require more frequent applications of Allerpet. During dry spells and in arid climates, using a little Allerpet in a spray bottle between applications will be especially helpful. Contains:DI UV water, quaternium-26, hydrolyzed wheat protein, glycerin, quaternium-22, cocamidopropylbetaine, allantoin, d-panthenol, aloe vera gel, imidazolidinyl urea and collagen.

Raiders head coach Hue Jackson made the trade for QB Carson Palmer to improve the team's chances of making the playoffs this season, but according to a team insider, Jackson is fooling himself if he thinks Palmer will make a difference in achieving that goal.
The quarterback looked awful in his first game with the team, throwing three second-half interceptions in a Week Seven loss to the Chiefs, and he admitted afterward that he knew just a small fraction of the playbook. Even with a bye week in which to learn more of the offense, the team will still be limited in the plays it can run with Palmer under center until he has a full grasp of Jackson's system. Without a training camp and extensive practices to work out with his receivers and offensive line, timing and communication are bound to be issues the remainder of the year.
"If Carson is looking good by the end of the year, I'll be stunned," the insider said.

Remember Me
CASPIAN—The annual spring membership drive for the Iron County Museum is under way.
The purpose of the membership drive is to generate funds for the operation of the museum, which includes 26 different buildings. By purchasing a membership, the funds provide support for facility operation and maintenance. The Iron County Historical and Museum Society undertook several major renovation projects in 2012. A new roof was constructed on the Carrie Jacobs-Bond house. The Bond house, which was moved from its Adams Street location in 1978, was one of the original Iron River homes, circa 1890. Roof and interior repairs were done to the St. Mary's Church, which celebrated its 100th birthday in 2012. The third major project of last year was the updating of the Stager Depot, the first railhead in Iron County, built in 1890 and moved to the museum in 1970. Among the projects planned for 2013 will be an exhibit to commemorate the role of the Jewish congregation in Iron County. The Jewish community acquired a home in 1939 and converted it into a synagogue that remained in use until 1975. Work is also planned for one of the unique Finnish-style log cabins on the museum grounds. The Museum Society Board of Trustees has planned a full schedule of special events for 2013 that includes a salute to the city of Caspian's early history. Scandinavian Log Cabin Day, Italian Day and the Miners Family Picnic will all take place this summer. The school visitations, which involve as many as 500 area students, is on the schedule for May, and there is a plan to continue the Environmental Day in August, another successful event for the young people. There are several levels of membership ranging from the individual membership at $20 up to the benefactor membership at $150. Each level has benefits, including free admission to the museum, a 10 percent discount at the museum gift shop, priority admission to the wine and cheese event in July and the complimentary newsletters distributed twice per year. Memberships, which are tax-deductible, can be submitted to the museum at P.O. Box 272, Caspian, MI 49915. Questions can be directed to either Ross Parcels or Michelle Blood at the museum at 265-2617. Information is available on the museum website www.ironcountyhistoricalmuseum.org.
