RUGBY UNION: Welsh target bumper gate
9:00am Tuesday 13th May 2014 in Rugby By Ed Mezzetti, Sports reporter specialising in Rugby, Cricket and Athletics. Call me on 01865 425456
London Welsh chief executive Mike Stevens wants fans to turn out in force as they bid to reach the Greene King IPA Championship final.
Stevens, who took up office yesterday, is hoping for a bumper crowd and passionate atmosphere on Sunday as the Exiles host Leeds Carnegie in their semi-final, second leg at Oxford's Kassam Stadium (12.45pm).
Welsh trail 38-31 from the first leg, but believe home advantage can play a big role in overcoming the deficit and continuing their Premiership push.
Stevens admitted he has "a lot to do" in his new role, but is focused on the short term for now.
"The first goal is to get as big a crowd as we can for the Leeds play-off on May 18," he said.
"We are doing a kids for a quid promotion for that.
"We want to create as much of an atmosphere as we can to get behind the players.
"The Kassam Stadium is such a great stadium.
"It has got a lot of space within its grounds and we need to work out how to turn it into a mini Twickenham or Millennium Stadium."
Although home crowds have been less than 1,500 on average this season, Stevens hopes for far more on Sunday and for matches next season – regardless of which league Welsh are in.
"We got a 10,000 crowd against London Wasps 18 months ago," he said.
"If you look at what London Irish and London Wasps have done. They had to start small.
"When London Irish moved to Reading, they were playing in front of small crowds, but now on the St Patrick's day game they get crowds of 22,000."
Stevens added: "The key part for me is what happens off the field.
"Justin Burnell and his coaching and playing team are looking after things on the field. I have 100 per cent confidence in them."
And as he begins his tenure, former Abingdon Vale cricketer Stevens has personal reasons for wanting to suceed.
"I have lived in Abingdon on and off since 1992," he said. "The opportunity for me is a great one from a career perspective, but it is also about making an impact locally.
"Although I am not Abingdon born and bred, I count it as my home."

After a season in which it allowed 45 sacks and opened up few holes in the running game, it's possible that the Chiefs' offensive line could look a lot different in 2010. Starting C Rudy Niswanger and ORT Ryan O'Callaghan are both set to become restricted free agents if there's no new Collective Bargaining Agreement, and 34-year-old ORG Mike Goff appeared well past his prime in '09. We hear that all three could either be gone or out of the starting lineup next season. We've also been told that the Chiefs are indifferent to swing lineman and unrestricted free agent Wade Smith, meaning he could be allowed to walk. At this point, only OLT Branden Albert and OLG Brian Waters appear safe, and even they could be shifted to new positions in '10. If Kansas City uses its fifth overall pick on an offensive tackle, Albert could swing to right tackle or even guard, where he played in college. If that happens, Waters could even wind up at center.
PFW has launched its brand-new NFL Draft Newsletter series, with the second issue now ready for mailing and a third issue focusing on underclassmen to be published in the next few weeks.

Lockheed Martin Works to Balance Rising Health Care Costs, Business Operations
While you may have finalized your enrollment in health insurance coverage through Lockheed Martin for the 2014 year, we never consider our health insurance work "final." We are continuously looking for ways to manage rising costs and prepare for the future requirements of the health care reform law.
The LM HealthWorks Plan, an Aetna PPO (preferred provider organization), is Lockheed Martin's primary medical insurance plan. A PPO allows plan participants the freedom to choose the doctors and hospitals they want to visit. By choosing preferred providers in the plan's network, participants pay lower fees, but out-of-network providers are still covered.
As a business, it is important to us that we achieve a balance between delivering comprehensive health and wellness resources, ensuring what we offer aligns with our industry peers and remaining cost competitive. Our health care costs affect our business: Ultimately the cost to provide health insurance and wellness programs is passed to our customers.
"Our company and country face increasing health care costs and the proactive, preventive benefits offered through Accelerating a Better You and our health care coverage are more important than ever," said John Lucas, senior vice president, Human Resources and Communications, in an Oct. 9 memo.
Understanding the cost of health care has become increasing difficult as companies – both large and small – move to health plans that are tied to accounts, like the Lockheed Martin LM HealthWorks Plan HealthFund, which are used to offset out-of-pocket medical costs.
Standard copays may be easier for health consumers to comprehend, but employers have shifted to PPO plans that provide discounted rates for members and often have an account (like the HealthFund) that offsets the cost of the bill.
The Breakdown
- More than $1.2 billion: That's how much Lockheed Martin pays to cover the majority of health coverage costs for about 320,000 employees, family members and retirees.
- $11,457: What the average total health care costs nationwide per employee in 2012, according to Towers Watson/National Business Group on Health Employer Survey on Purchasing Value in Health Care.
- $1,000: That's the amount employees can earn toward their HealthFund each year.
- $600: That's how much an employee's spouse or same-sex domestic partner can earn toward their Health Fund annually.
- 34 percent: The average number of employees who roll over funds each year.
- $400: The average amount those employees rollover into their HealthFund.
What's Next for Health Care Reform and the Corporation
As aspects of Health Care Reform continue to roll out in the next several years, Lockheed Martin will continue to take steps to comply with the law. But the Corporation will also have to continue to manage increasing costs.
Total health care spending in the United States is expected to reach $4.8 trillion in 2021, up from $2.6 trillion in 2010 and $75 billion in 1970, according to a report from Aetna titled "The facts about rising health care costs." In fact, health care spending will account for nearly 20 percent of gross domestic product – about one-fifth of the U.S. economy – by 2021.
Beginning in 2015, under the new health care reform law, at least one employer-offered plan must meet two requirements: minimum value and affordability.
To meet the minimum value requirement, the plan must pay for at least 60 percent of plan costs. The remaining costs are paid for by the covered individuals in the form of co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance and other cost-sharing features. On average, Lockheed Martin pays more than 80 percent of plan costs for employees.
To meet the affordability requirement, the cost of the plan for employee-only coverage must not exceed 9.5 percent of the employee's household income. It is Lockheed Martin's intention to offer all eligible employees at least one medical plan that meets the "minimum value" and affordability standards.
The "Cadillac Tax," the most distant but significant piece of legislation associated with Health Care Reform, will go into effect in 2018. Essentially, this 40 percent excise tax will be imposed on employer health plans, including retiree plans, with annual premiums exceeding the limits determined by health care reform regulations.
Lockheed Martin could pay millions in "Cadillac Taxes" starting in 2018 if plan changes are not made to avoid the excise tax. Most employers are taking steps now to avoid the excise tax in 2018 and beyond.

Jane Trowell from art activist organisation Platform looks at some of the ethical issues surrounding arts funding.
Giulia Crossley, Communications Coordinator at Julie's Bicycle responds to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Summary for Policymakers, in relation to the arts.
On Friday 30 September, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Summary for Policymakers, an overview of its most up to date findings on climate change.
Ian Rimington ponders our relationship to the material world.
Sometimes I feel the world's problems are intractable; that we are all standing on a cliff being relentlessly pulled over and there is nothing I or anyone else can do about it.
And then I have a day like yesterday.
With the summer in full swing, Ian Rimington recommends holiday reading and looks at how our National portfolio organisations have been progressing with sustainability.
The Happy Museum Project, led by the Museum of East Anglian Life and funded through the Arts Council's Renaissance Strategic support fund, is a programme to help museums look at and test the role they play in developing community resilience and wellbeing against global financial and environmental challenges.
Theatre-maker and writer, Lucy Neal is working on a handbook mapping creative practices that inspire a sustainable future. Here she describes a residency with other artists at the Arvon Foundation retreat. Playing For Time is funded by Arts Council England and Transition Network, in partnership with Arvon, the Centre for Alternative Technology and the new economics foundation.
Arts Council England's sustainability lead, Ian Rimington, explores the environmental challenges facing heritage organisations
If I were to ask you how much you would give to protect a threatened world heritage site of outstanding historical interest and natural beauty, it would probably be a hard question to answer.
Wednesday morning. I attend the first of Julie's Bicycle's Wednesday Webinars on environmental reporting for arts and cultural organisations. I'm not the most digitally up-to-date and webinars are new to me. This one is how to compete an Industry Green Tool entry. I watch a live on-screen demo whilst listening to Luke Ramsay from Julie's Bicycle talk it through and answer questions.
Last week I attended two presentations given to Arts Council England Relationship Managers by Catherine Langabeer, Operations Director at Julie's Bicycle. Her talk focused on the background to why Sustainability matters, what the arts council is asking of organisations and how Julie's Bicycle helps to deliver this.

#NCFC team v @ManUtd: Bunn; Whittaker, R. Bennett, Bassong, Garrido; Snodgrass, Fer, Johnson, Redmond; Hoolahan; Elmander
Yaya Toure was uninspiring for the third week in a row and finished with negative two fantasy points in Manchester City's 1-0 loss to Stoke.
The Baggies conceded early and often at the Liberty Stadium as they fell for the first time this season.
Grazianno Pelle scored to help Southampton to a 3-1 win over West Ham United.
Swansea's dream start to the season continued with an easy 3-0 win over West Brom that featured a Nathan Dyer brace.
Stoke forward Mame Biram Diouf slotted home a spectacular solo goal in the second half that was enough for his side to defeat Manchester City 1-0.
Charlie Austin scored the only goal of the game as Queens Park Rangers grabbed their first points of the season.
In an enjoyable contest where the lead changed hands, the standout performer for Newcastle United was Rolando Aarons, an 18 year old prospect who notched a goal and an assist as a substitute as the Magpies played Crystal Palace to a 3-3 draw.
Burnley turned in a positive defensive display and went toe to toe with Manchester United to earn their first point of the season in a 0-0 final.
Angel Di Maria was thrust immediately into Manchester United's starting XI and showed some promising displays but United as a unit once again failed to impress both attacking and defending, settling for a 0-0 against Burnley.
Stephen Ireland will be held out of the Stoke City squad for Week 3 as he nurses a rib injury back to health.
Jonny Evans returned to active duty against MK Dons this week and will likely eye a return to league action this weekend against Burnley

Did Sega and Gearbox create a false impression of the final quality of Aliens: Colonial Marines? That's now a legal matter, for lawyers to battlerap about and judges to scorecard (lawsuits are much more entertaining in my head). Multi-faceted games site Polygon has obtained a lawsuit that was filed yesterday, claiming that both companies falsely advertised their troubled Alien troubler, showing off demos to the public that were unrepresentative of the released game.

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

A new rehab facility in Salem is offering customers a unique alternative.
Tuesday afternoon The Rehab Center at Richfield will cut the ribbon on its new $7 million facility.
It focuses on short term rehabilitation services with customers staying anywhere from a few days to seven or eight weeks.
Director Jon Royall said they're offering something one of a kind in Virginia because the rehab is outside of the nursing home.
"The Roanoke, Salem, and New River Valley areas, they're really rich in baby boomers," Royall said. "That population is really wanting some different alternatives than staying in a nursing facility."
The rehab facility can take care of up to 48 patients.
The ribbon cutting will be Tuesday at 3 p.m. with patients beginning rehab on Sunday.

ANY WONDER WHY DENTAL SLEEP MEDICINE IS NOT GAINING TRACTION WITH MDs?
To the Editor:
I am correctly cited in Ms. Brody's article stating that I would not get routine dental X-rays, as there is little evidence to support them in asymptomatic patients. The situation for mammography is completely different. Randomized clinical studies have shown mammography saves lives. It is unlikely to impact thyroid cancer, and the benefits of mammography clearly outweigh any risks. So, the message is clear: Get your mammogram and skip the "routine" dental X-ray if you do not have symptoms.
Carolyn D. Runowicz, M.D.
I contend we have a real problem here. Any comments?

Spring Football has now come and past, and we lay out some of the final thoughts on everyone's mind before gearing up for players-only summer workouts.
Quarterbacks know a thing or two about winning big football games.
The Super Bowl winning head coach made a star-studded return to Trousdale Parkway.
Now that the paper work is finally settled, coach Sarkisian can begin talking about his top-25 recruiting class.
Less than two weeks away from National Signing Day, plenty of USC commits and targets are ranked as some of the nation's best prospects in the 2014 recruiting class.
USC has officially announced the arrival of its freshmen early enrollee class, along with the arrival of junior college transfer Claudeson Pelon. Here are some interesting infographics documenting...
'Noles, Tigers and Trojans. Oh my.
After it was announced former interim head coach Ed Orgeron would not be returning next year as the head coach of the USC football team, several Trojan players said they felt they lost a father...
The dust has finally settled on yet another wild week in Southern California. Orgeron in, Kiffin out and plenty of questions will be answered in the coming days before the Trojans take the field...

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

Fun with Resources: Election edition
Whoa, did you guys know there's an election coming up?! In 2 weeks?! ha!
Well, there are a whole lot of issues being discussed by the presidential candidates, and a whole lot of facts and figures being thrown around in the process. Wanna know the historical context of some of these issues, or the voting record of the candidates, or what the supreme court has been doing? Or, maybe you are just enraged about some of the issues and want to contact your local representative! Well, Drexel Libraries happens to have a really fanastic suite of resources that culls all this information and more for you in one place.
CQ Political Reference Suite contains a whole lot of useful and interesting information for looking at the US political history and our political present. Congress and the Nation and Politics in America will tell you everything you want to know about the voting record of your congressperson and analysis of congressional-backed policies. The Washington Information Directory provides contact information for all our federal elected officials, and while you are waiting for Joe Biden to call you back, you can check out Vital Statistics on American Politics and analyse all kinds of political trends.
There are also a couple of great free resources available if you are interested in close scrutiny of the election process.
FiveThirtyEight.com is a site designed to "accumulate and analyze polling and political data in way that is informed, accurate and attractive. Most narrowly, to give you the best possible objective assessment of the likely outcome of upcoming elections." You'll be dreaming in blue and red after a few minutes on this site.
FactCheck.org is the go-to site for dispelling the myths perpetuated by the campaigns of all parties. The debate fact-checks are particularly interesting since these misleading statements come directly from the mouths of the candidates.

Rated 1 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 1 out of 5�by gps Too tight I bought Wigwam - Ultimax for their reputation of having a sock to last a long time in the sole area; but I have found the Snow Moto Pro material to be too tight in the elastic band area. Other similar brand socks that I have don't have this issue. Unfortunately, I'm not able to wear this sock. November 14, 2013

MT. VERNON —United Way of South Central Illinois' 2013 campaign "Community Impact" is focusing on people's immediate needs and creating lasting change, according to the organization's leadership team.
Community Impact is about improving lives of people affected by pressing issues. United Way of South Central Illinois will be doing it different this year by not centering on the measuring of the money raised, but by the impact it has on the community.
"It's not how many individuals are provided for and served," stated Lynn Hutchison, the organization's community resource director. "It is not how many programs or partners that are united. While both are important, the most crucial parts of United Way's work are bottom lines results, lives changed, communities strengthened and the futures that are shaped; hence the move toward community impact."
On Friday at the Ameren building on Broadway, where the United Way's thermometer is located, Executive Director Rhonda Edmonson, Hutchison, and campaign chair Norma Fairchild raised the thermometer to symbolize the achievement of reaching its second goal. The second goal is providing special radios for sight impaired and disabled.
The Southern Illinois Radio Information Service, SIRIS is a community service of WSIU Public Broadcasting which provides reading and information for individuals who are blind, visually impaired and print-disabled. Information states any person in the WSIU (91.9) or WVSI-FM (88.9) listening area whose eyesight or physical condition makes it impossible to read a newspaper or book qualifies.
"It really connects them back to their community." said Edmonson.
The broadcast can only be heard on a special radio receiver that is pre-tuned to the SIRUS broadcast.
United Way achieved the goal by funding more than 50 radios in the community which includes all the nursing homes in Mt.Vernon. These radios are also free to the citizens in the community that qualify.

The following is our calendar of Bike-MINDED Safety events. Ambassadors, these are volunteer opportunities where you can help! Please contact Katie, Carl or Marla if you are able to volunteer at an upcoming event. We need you!
We thank these Program Partners* for working with us to promote bicycle safety

We are now recruiting and training volunteers to become Bike-MINDED Program Ambassadors to assist with the kids and adult commuter workshops. Bike Ambassadors are educators and enthusiasts who are working to bring better and safer bicycling to Baltimore City and the surrounding Counties. Carefully selected for an interest in bicycling, an enthusiastic personality, and effective communication skills, bicycle ambassadors reach out to a diversity of people to increase the number of bicyclists, discuss bicycle commuting and maintenance, and to increase bicycle safety.
The Bike Maryland Bike-MINDED Program is collaboration between the Maryland State Highway Administration and Bike Maryland. This partnership is designed to promote SAFE cycling for fun, fitness and transportation!
Welcome 2013 Ambassadors!
Ambassadors sometimes attend community events to pass out important information, conduct bike commuting classes, promote basic maintenance classes (you will not teach maintenance unless you want to do so), engage people on the topic of bikes and sometimes take a ride where there are bicyclists out and about. Most importantly ambassadors work to improve bike safety in areas that are a high risk for crashes and fatalities.
Bike Maryland strives to make bicycling an integral part of the transportation system and Bike Ambassadors are a key component in bringing the benefits of bicycling—reducing congestion, improving personal and environmental health, saving money, making streets safer—to a broader audience.
To learn more about becoming an ambassador, contact Katie Gore, Marla Streb, or Carl Peterson
Congratulations Henry!

PTO/MYP Night
Parents joined us to find out...
Students who Promoted with Honors, High Honors, and those who Promoted with Honors All Three years at JGMS attended the Academy Awards night at La Quinta High School May 28th at 6:00 pm in the LQHS gym. These students were honored for being balanced and active learners, by having good academic standing, significant school invovlement, and going above and beyond in community service. At the ceremony, nearly 100 students received medals and certificates according to their award level.

MYP Coordinator Julie Bloch email@example.com
What is the MYP?
The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) is a philosophy and a framework that is meant to...
What does the MYP look like at JGMS?
Students are involved in community and service, they have engaging classroom experiences that cause them to think about the environment, health and social issues, how human ingenuity has improved our world, and how we are interconnected.
Students are balanced learners, taking on eight subjects for each year of the MYP: Language A (English), mathematics, science, Language B (either Spanish or French), humanities, PE, arts, and technology.
Each unit of study is driven by unit question that invites students into the content and inquire about it in the context of the Area of Interaction: Environments, Health and social education, human ingenuity, or community and service.
Assessment is engaging, rigorous, constructed response, projects, performances, responses or products. All MYP assessments are graded with MYP criteria. The criteria varies from subject to subject.
Holistic Education :
At JGMS we endeavor to support the development of the whole child: the academic as well as the social-emotional profile of each student. We have word of the month assemblies, follow-up activities in ASAP as well as reinforce these traits across all of the subjects.
Research shows that IB primary and middle-years students perform better in international assessments than their peers at non-IB schools (click here for more information)

Renée Fleming will star in the production under the direction of five-time Tony-winning director-choreographer Stroman (The Scottsboro Boys, The Producers, Crazy for You, Contact). It has not been determined in which season it will premiere.
As previously reported, the Met's upcoming season also includes Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore, directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, the Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theatre director known for The Light in the Piazza, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, Awake and Sing!, South Pacific, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Blood and Gifts.
Sher's designers include three Tony winners: set designer Michael Yeargan (South Pacific, The Light in the Piazza), costume designer Catherine Zuber (South Pacific, Awake and Sing!, Light in the Piazza) and lighting designer Jennifer Tipton (Jerome Robbins' Broadway). L'Elisir d'Amore will be transmitted "Live in HD" Oct. 13.
Mayer wil team with his Tony-winning American Idiot set designer Christine Jones (also of Mayer's Everyday Rapture, On a Clear Day and Spring Awakening), plus Tony-winning Broadway costume designer Susan Hilferty (Wicked, Spring Awakening, The Road to Mecca and 2002's Into the Woods) and Tony-winning lighting designer Kevin Adams (Spring Awakening, American Idiot, The 39 Steps). Choreographer Steven Hoggett (Once, American Idiot, Black Watch) is also on the team.
Mayer's production will be transmitted "Live in HD" Feb. 16, 2013.
Acclaimed Canadian stage director Robert Lepage will stage the Met premiere of Thomas Adès' opera The Tempest starting Oct. 23. The new take on the Shakespeare classic received its world premiere in 2004 at London's Royal Opera House. It will star Simon Keenlyside as Prospero.
The libretto, by Meredith Oakes, features new text set to the story of Shakespeare's play. It's a co-production of the Metropolitan Opera, L'Opéra de Québec and the Wiener Staatsoper, Vienna, in collaboration with Ex Machina.

Kensington Roof Gardens
Atop the former Derry and Toms building high above Kensington High St is this enchanting venue – a nightclub with 0.6 hectares of gardens.
Atop the former Derry and Toms building high above Kensington High St is this enchanting venue – a nightclub with 0.6 hectares of gardens.
Once a scuzzy local pub, the George was taken over and decorated with the owner's grandma's antiques (antlers, racoon tails, old clocks), cardboard cut-outs of Cher and fairy lights, turning this one-room pub into what has remained the epicentre of the Hoxton scene for more than a decade A favourite for the trendy gay crowd, some of the best DJ nights in London are on offer .
Northwest of Deptford in Rotherhithe, this 15th-century pub, originally called the Shippe but rebuilt and renamed the Spread Eagle in the 18th century, is now named after the vessel that took the pilgrims to America in 1620; US visitors might want to make their own pilgrimage here.
This eccentric, time-warped and convivial boho coffee-shop has been serenading drinkers since the 1950s. Bob Dylan, Adele, Joni Mitchell and Keith Moon have performed here and there's still live music (folk, blues) most nights and a large, pleasant garden open in summer.
This boutique cafe, housed in a lone Georgian house marooned between high-rises and a roundabout, is an oasis of aesthetics in a world of urban ghastliness.
'London's Number 1 Jukebox' is how Boogaloo flaunts itself and how it's been described in the local media: its celebrity-musician-fiddled-with jukebox playlists feature the favourite 10 songs of the likes of Nick Cave, Sinead O'Connor, Howie B and Bobbie Gillespie, to name but a few. There's plenty to boogie to, with live music on every night of the week.
A self-titled 'post Punk apocalyptic (too rude to repeat) of a craft brewery,' BrewDog is a beer lover's paradise. Their eco-brewery sits up in North East Scotland and everything is done by the company, from getting the hops, to packaging and shipping the beer.
With its ravishing 1950s decor and show-stopping views, Skylon is a memorable place to come for a drink or meal . You'll have to come early to bag the tables at the front with plunging views of the river however. Drinks-wise, just ask: from superb seasonal cocktails to infusions and a staggering choice of whiskys (and whiskeys!), you'll finish the night in high spirits.
This tunnel-like wine-bar-cum-kitchen sits under the railway arches taking trains in and out of London Bridge. It is first and foremost a wine importer focusing on organic vintages but its hospitality venture has become incredibly popular. The wine recommendations are obviously top-notch (most of them by the glass) and the food – simple, gourmet bistro fare – is spot on.
Its 18 ales, stouts and lagers on tap backed up by over 50 different bottled beers, Draft House is no slouch. A standout watering hole along urbane Northcote Rd, where middle-class cash and high expectations seamlessly dovetail, the seasonally-adjusted menu (served through the day) has also set local palates a quiver with excellent brunches and standout burgers.
A real find in the elephants' graveyard we like to call Waterloo, this funky cafe-bar and former scooter repair shop with a Piatti scooter in the window serves killer hot chocolates, coffee and decadent cocktails. Unusually, you're allowed to bring take-away food. The tiny patio at the back is perfect to soak up the sun. There are films screenings every other Sunday.
It's hard to have a bad night at the Brixton Academy, even if you leave with your soles sticky with beer, as this cavernous former art deco theatre (holding 5000) always thrums with bonhomie. There's a properly raked floor for good views, as well as plenty of bars and an excellent mixed bill of established and emerging artists.

To soften the blow of having to spend the trip together, Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) invite the whole gang along. But, being the frugal spenders that they are, Nick won't pass up the chance to get their money's worth during the trip, even if that means being forced to do romantic activities like couples yoga and massages with Jess. Unfortunately, those events will actually make them realize being just friends is much harder than they thought. What does that mean for the future of the gang and their living situation?

Florida Marlins' Chris Coghlan: I want to steal more bases this year
By Joe Capozzi
Chris Coghlan has shown the league he can hit. Now, the NL Rookie of the Year is hoping to raise his game higher with his speed.
"I want to steal more bases this year," said Coghlan, who stole eight bases in 13 attempts last year. "It's something I have to prove to Fredi (Gonzalez, manager). I have complete confidence I'll be able to prove that to Fredi."
More stolen bases from Coghlan would be huge for the Marlins. After all he'll be their lead-off hitter again. If Coghlan can turn into a legitimate base-stealing threat, he and Cameron Maybin would give the Marlins a weapon at the top of the order (assuming Maybin hits second).
"I hope to able to steal more bases and get into scoring position for Cameron and Cantu and all the guys behind me," Cohlan said.
Camp officially opens Saturday with the first workout by pitchers and catchers, but Coghlan had his first (voluntary) spring workout Wednesday.
Quick note on the story we published earlier this week on Coghlan. One of his close friends mentioned in the story is Randy Fierbaugh, a former minor league pitcher.
Among Fierbaugh's teammates in his playing days: Hall of Famer Andrew Dawson and Mark Wiley, who'd go on to be a Marlins pitching coach. Even back in 1974, Fierbaugh knew Dawson special: "Andre had some of the quickest hands when it came to hitting." …
In case anyone wants it, here are the seven Marlins players who are out of options: RHP Hayden Penn, LHP Dan Meyer, LHP Renyel Pinto, RHP Brian Sanches, IF Wes Helms, OF Cody Ross and RHP Leo Nunez.
These players have to be on the 25-man roster, or the club risks losing them through waivers. (Players with options can be sent up and down the minor leagues without being subjected to waivers.)
As far as these seven go, the only real interesting name to watch is Penn, who's competing for a rotation spot. All the others should make the team, although don't be surprised if Pinto is traded before camp ends…
Expect Marlins pitchers and catchers to work hard on fundamentals this spring, in particular holding runners on base. No National League team gave up more stolen bases last year than the Marlins — 129. The Marlins nabbed just 25 percent of woudlbe base stealers…
Baseball Tonight's "Grapefruit League Express" tour begins today on ESPN with a stop in Tampa for a Yankees segment. The Marlins will be featured on Monday (Feb. 22)…

Another day, another bad Boston Red Sox loss. Once again, the leaders in the AL Wild Card race have fallen to the Baltimore Orioles after taking a lead deep into the game. This is their second-straight loss to the O's and third in the last four games, which is not exactly a good way to warm up for a crucial series against the New York Yankees.
Mark Reynolds had a big day for Baltimore, homering twice and driving in three of their six runs in a 6-4 win over the Sox. His solo home run in the 2nd inning put the O's on the board, but Boston would put up four runs before the end of the fifth inning. J.J. Hardy made it 4-2 Boston in the top of the 6th with an RBI single before Reynolds hit his second home run of the night in the seventh, a two-run shot to make it 4-4.
In the top of the eighth, a struggling Josh Beckett gave up a single to Hardy, and two batters later Nick Markakis hit a ground-rule double, putting runners on second and third with one out. Alfredo Aceves came on in relief but couldn't retire the first batter he faced, as Vladimir Guerrero singled to center field, scoring both Hardy and Markakis to give the O's a 6-4 lead.
Boston's loss left them with a two-game lead in the AL Wild Card over the Los Angeles Angels, who won on Wednesday night. The New York Yankees clinched the AL East with a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays shortly after the Red Sox game ended. The Rays' loss ensured Boston's lead in the Wild Card remained at 2.5 games.

South Fork of Horseshoe Canyon
A great introduction to riding in the Big Holes. Near Driggs, ID
From MP's sister site: MTB Project
This is a beautiful canyon on the West side of the Teton Range accessed through Driggs, Idaho. A handful of rock routes are available, and in the winter a few ice climbs. The rock routes primarily face South - and can be hot in the summer - but some are SW facing and don't get sun until the afternoon. The canyon is bustling with activity in the Summer (campers, hikers, boy scouts, etc.) but it seems very few people bother to actually climb here so. The rock routes are located on a granite formation at the end of the road. The ice climbs are located among the limestone cliffs on the south side.
Getting There
Find your way to Driggs, Idaho - and turn East onto ski hill road, as if heading to the Grand Targhee ski area. Drive about 6 miles up the road, and veer right onto the dirt road into Teton Canyon (well marked).

text: The Most Controversial Ads of 2011 The 10 Most Controversial Ads of 2011 by Lacey Gattis 12/20/11 6 Reactions 29 Shares Print 2 18 9 0 0 Advertising is all around us, and it's particularly ubiquitous in the realm of beauty. Makeup, skin care, and fragrance get shilled to us constantly, and many of us are only passingly aware of the messages we're receiving. Which is why the 10 ads here are such a big deal. For better or for worse, these spots made a big impression — sometimes on consumers, sometimes on regulatory committees, and sometimes on censors. Whether you're wondering why Dakota Fanning's Marc Jacobs ads came under fire or just heard about those "talking vagina" commercials, all the most incendiary spots from the glossies, the web, and television are here. Make Up For Ever's Photoshop-Free Ads What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In a year full of upsets about insensitive ads, gross retouching, and a growing debate about image manipulation and advertising in general, Make Up For Ever very cannily debuted a series of ads that weren't retouched at all. Sure, the models all looked young and had flawless skin, but many were excited just to see it attempted. 1 / 10 How Much Retouching Is Too Much? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The large amounts of Photoshop used in makeup advertisements has long been a hot-button issue in the UK, and a few months back the nation's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) handed down a strict judgment against two L'Oréal foundation ads.The ASA ruled that both ads depicted the models (Julia Roberts for Lancôme and Christy Turlington for Maybelline) with skin altered in a way that the products could never actually achieve and kicked off a months-long crackdown on beauty ads in Great Britain. 2 / 10 How Much Retouching Is Too Much? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Seen here is the Christy Turlington Maybelline ad banned by the UK's ASA. 3 / 10 The Cover Girl Controversy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Product alteration is becoming a big issue on this side of the pond as well. This month, the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus (the NAD for short) announced that Cover Girl is discontinuing Taylor Swift's ads for NatureLuxe mascara because the claims the ads made couldn't be substantiated, and the images were deemed misleading. Given all the extreme mascara retouching in ads over the last couple of years, it will be interesting to see whether this marks the beginning of a crackdown on unrealistic results in beauty advertisements. 4 / 10 Nivea's Uncivil "Civilized" Ad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Women may be targeted more by beauty advertisers, but there are still plenty of controversies in the world of dude products. This Nivea ad from Esquire came under fire for exhorting African-American men to "re-civilize" themselves and depicting a model holding an "uncivilized" head with natural hair and a beard, as if to suggest that Afros are concomitant with primitivity. 6 / 10 Belle D'Opium's High-ly Inflammatory Ad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here the print ad wasn't the culprit. Instead, the UK's Advertising Standards Authority banned a TV commercial for Yves Saint Laurent's Belle D'Opium fragrance for "appearing to simulate injecting drugs," presumably because the model in the commercial runs her finger up one arm and eventually seizes her body, actions the ASA said could be interpreted as drug related. YSL, of course, retorted that the choreography was simply meant to seduce the viewer and showcase the perfume's intense nature. 6 / 10 ChapStick Makes Women the (Literal) Butt of a Joke What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This ad set the Internet ablaze a few months back, first because of the way it features a woman's derriere so prominently and also because of the way the company reacted when people responded negatively to the ad on Facebook. ChapStick began removing all pejorative comments, which only made already displeased web denizens angry, and eventually led to a mea culpa from the company. 7 / 10 Axe Ads Get the Ax What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In more butt-related news, a series of sexy Lynx (aka Axe) ads from the UK were banned by the ASA because the "suggestive nature of the images and the strong innuendo were not acceptable for public display where they might be seen by children." The ad at left was a prime offender, but other images from the campaign featured model Lucy Pinder in similarly exposed positions alongside taglines "The cleaner you are the dirtier you get," "Put premature perspiration to the test," and "play with Lucy." 8 / 10 Hail to the V? Hell to the No What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Perhaps the year's most out-and-out offensive campaign was a bunch of Summer's Eve spots featuring picturesquely "diverse" talking vaginas that seemingly played up a ton of stereotypes about African-American women and Latinas. The web ads, part of the brand's "Hail to the V" campaign, got yanked from the brand's website, but not before they were roundly derided and mocked by everyone from forum commenters to Stephen Colbert. 9 / 10 Dakota Fanning's "Too Sexy" Shoot What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 UK advertising censors weren't pleased with the way Dakota Fanning, 17, was shot for her recent Oh, Lola! print campaign and banned the ad from appearing in magazines nationwide. "We considered the ad could be seen to sexualize a child," the Advertising Standards Authority said in its ruling. "We therefore concluded that the ad was irresponsible and was likely to cause serious offense." Many models are close to Dakota's age, so this ruling may open the door for more prosecution on "sexy" ads featuring teens. 11 / 10 2 18 9 0 0 Read More Best Of 2011Advertising Best of 2011 Hollywood's Cutest Celebrity Couples! 2/09/12 Fittest Female Celeb of 2011: The Top 25 1/06/12 Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Kate Middleton, and More — Your Top-Ranked Red-Carpet Looks of 2011! 1/06/12 Our Biggest Movie Character Crushes of 2011 1/04/12 From Cuisines to Cocktails, Your Top Picks of the Year 1/04/12 The Royal Wedding, Harry Potter Ends, and More — Your Top-Ranked Stories of 2011! 1/03/12 Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

FOOTBALL: Wantage sign on Eastleigh defender
7:00am Monday 6th January 2014 in Sport
Wantage Town have completed the signing of 19-year-old defender Jack Smith from Conference South promotion-chasing Eastleigh, on a dual registration agreement.
The Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side's assistant manager Andy Lyne, said: "Jack is a no-nonsense defender who is very highly regarded at Eastleigh, where he is a member of the first-team squad.
"With our current injuries and suspensions, we needed to make sure we had enough bodies to handle the rush of games that are coming our way."
Only one game survived the monsoon-like conditions on Saturday.
Oxford City Nomads' Development side took on Brimscombe & Thrupp Res on City's 3G pitch Nomads romped home 7-0 to go top of Division 2 West, taking their goal tally to 57 in 13 games.
All the goals came in the first half from Daniel West (2), Connor Harris, Louis Joyce, Liam Palfreeman, Liam Marshall (penalty) and an own goal.
After the break, Brimscome were awarded a penalty which was blasted over the bar.

Several years ago on A Saturday morning I broke 80 for the first time (78). After the round I joined some other friends for a second round of the day, I didn't break 80 but I got my first and only (at this time) HOLE IN ONE! My friends happily helped me celebrate my day.
My golf experience is about a loss. When I moved back to Alabama from Ohio, I joined Burningtree Country Club to find a new group to play with on the weekends. I played with a number of different group until I found one that I seem to fit in with. One of the members of that group was a gentleman by the name of Mike Ashworth. Mike was a Sales Manager for a steel company and had an outgoing personality that could light up a room any time any where. Famous for McCallum 15 and a good cigar. Always had something nice or more likely funny to say. Many stories followed Mike like the Ashworth fade which was when his hook became a slight draw. When he hit a great drive or made a long putt, a spontaneous dance step like something out of a bad Riverdance reveu broke out followed by "getcha some of that". One of the best lines about Mike I ever heard was from another member of our little Saturday morning group who said, "no matter how bad my week has been, by the second hole with Mike it was completely forgotten."
A couple of days before Christmas 2012, we lost Mike to a massive heart attack at the age of 62. I only played with Mike for 3 years but he left me something very special. Each Saturday when I mark my ball, I mark it with a red "A" to remind me how Mike approach the game of golf. There should be a great positive energy that goes with golf. Mike helped me put golf in the right place and increased my enjoyment every weekend. I grind just as hard as I ever did to shoot the best round I can but I try to take a little of Mike with me each round and make sure I laugh and smile a lot each time I tee it up. Thanks Mike. We miss you every day.
Being a golfer from western SD, I'm thankful that we have the opportunity to golf almost year round. I have die hard friends that don't mind layering up to get out on the course this time of the year. Scores don't really matter, it the friendships that mean the most and maybe a little bragging at the 19th hole!
I am simply thankful to be in position where I have the ability and option to play 365 days a year and being able to teach and pass on a game and tradition that will give a lifetime of learning and enjoyment to my daughters.
I am thankful just to be able to keep playing the game of golf,after 3 back surgeries,i did not think that i would be able to play
again.Even though i have lost distance off the tee,i am still pretty accurate with my irons and wedges.Being able to play still sure helps me ease my mind. Thanks FJ !!
I am thankful to be able to golf pretty much all year around living in southern Virginia and also that i am still able to golf with my father who is 73 and all my close friends. I hope to be able to golf into my 70's and that my dad is a great inspiration that anyone at any age can play golf.
I am thankful for one of the last rounds I ever played with my father.. He always wanted me to take up the game of golf but I always had other interests. That particular day everything clicked. We had the best time together and laughed and joked and played some really good golf. Needless to say I was hooked and have been now for about 30 years. Thanks Dad!
Just Happy to get out and play with great friends this Saturday in the annual Turkey Shoot
I'm thankful for all of the technology that goes into gofling. The balls along with all the equipment makes everyone better golfers. The clothes help make me feel great looking while on the course, and the foul weather gear helps me play longer in the year. It gets colder earlier , and I am able to play as long as I can.
Thank You Foot Joy, Titleist, and Scotty Cameron
When golfing I like explain to my golfing partners were the woods / ponds / hazards are on some holes. I feel that the should know before teeing off. I like to tell jokes on the course to make people laugh. Golf is fun and relaxing for me. GOD BLESS our great golf course in Wisconsin.
Even if i live in the snow belt and even if I have a couple of hearniated discs that prevented me to play a lot of golf this year, I am thankful to be alive, to have a healthy family live in an area that hasn't been hit by any natural catastrophy.
I embraced fully from head to toe and from putter to driver to bag the FJ/Titleist/Scotty Cameron/Acushnet brands a year after i started playing golf. Needless to say: best equipment on the market!
Every day on the golf course is a blessing of nature.
I am thankful to still have all of mf teeth after being hit in the face by an errant tee shot .Bob
No particular golf memory, but I enjoy every round I play. Even if I don't play my best.
Golf has been a great uniter for me and my family and friends. A lot of family and friends live all over the place, so it's hard to get together regularly, but golf is one thing that we make sure to do when we visit each other. There is just something about being out on the links that produces a thankfulness for life, vitality, nature, and relationships.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Drama, Foreign Language, IFC, Box Office, Miramax, Cinematical Indie, Paramount Vantage, Samuel Goldwyn Films, Roadside Attractions, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeTwo new indie releases fared well, while two others struggled. Hailing from Norway, Reprise (Miramax) earned a very good $15,500 per-screen average at three theaters, according to estimates compiled by Leonard Klady at Movie City News. Our own James Rocchi gushed in his review: "Directed by Joachim Trier, Reprise is one of the most brilliant, heartfelt, exciting and exuberant feature film debuts in recent memory."
Mexican film Sangre de mi Sangre (AKA Padre Nuestro) (IFC Films) nestled into the #2 spot, earning $8,500 at one theater in Manhattan. The film follows two teenagers, one honest, one dishonest, trying to reach their disparate goals (reuniting with family, making money). Eric D. Snider noted: "The trouble is that the film is so bleak as to be almost hopeless ... Its grimness is not matched by its excellence."
Cinematical's Erik Davis raved about German director Christian Petzold's Yella (Cinema Guild) when he saw it at the Berlin film festival last year: "Like a drug, Yella slowly creeps on you long after the end credits roll, takes hold of your body and doesn't let go until you're convinced it was one of the best films this year's Berlinale had to offer." Opening at two theaters, the film made $3,450 per screen.
Despite good reviews (82% positive at Rotten Tomatoes), Georgina Garcia Riedel's How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (Maya Releasing) failed to make an impact, opening at 84 theaters and marshaling just $1,040 per screen, per Mr. Klady's estimate.
Turning to estimates compiled by Box Office Mojo, it's clear that a number of holdovers did just fine. Tarsem Singh's visually stunning, if indifferently reviewed, The Fall (Roadside Attractions) maintained a very decent per-screen average of $5,709 in its second week of release. The film has taken in about $180,000 so far.
Holding up very well in its fourth week of release, the Claude Lelouch thriller Roman de Gare (Samuel Goldwyn) expanded from 15 to 24 theaters and enjoyed a per-screen average of $4,416, resulting in an estimated cumulative total of $465,000. Period drama Before the Rains (Roadside Attractions) also did pretty well, expanding to 28 theaters in its second week and making an average of $3,750 per screen.
Trailing behind, but still attracting audiences, were three other holdovers: Helen Hunt's Then She Found Me (Paramount Vantage; $3,567 per screen; 4th week; $1.5 million cumulative), Tom McCarthy's The Visitor (Overture; $3,066 per screen; 6th week; $3.4 million total); Gareth Jennings' Son of Rambow (Paramount Vantage; $2,450 per screen; 3rd week; $509,000 cumulative).

(SIOUX CENTER, IA) A plan to widen a busy highway through a northwest Iowa town has hit a dead end for now. The city council's decision follows a public forum on the project held in Sioux Center Wednesday evening. The city and the Iowa DOT were looking at a plan that would widen part of Highway 75. A study shows the expansion will eventually be needed to handle a growing amount of traffic. But some people complained the widening would take too much of their property and make it more dangerous for children to get to nearby schools. The city is now asking for feedback on its website.
