PITTSBURGH -- Astros third baseman Scott Moore exited Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Pirates in the sixth inning with a strained left groin. Moore originally wasn't in the lineup, but was added after Matt Dominguez's sore wrist kept him out of action.
Moore injured the groin fielding a bunt by Brock Holt and throwing him out at first base, and he said he felt the groin grab him on the play and knew it wasn't good.
"I actually did it [Saturday] when I started at second base, and [the Reds' Scott] Rolen hit a ball to my left side," Moore said. "I bent over to pick it up and felt something pop. My role, coming in late in games, I was able to get away with it, but today in the third inning a ball was hit hard to my glove side and I felt it pull again."
Moore, who's hitting .229 with seven homers and 21 RBIs, can only hope it's a mild strain and he's out only a few days.
"We don't have too much time left in the season, and I want to take advantage of any playing time I can get," he said.

Sonny Weems has decided to sign a contract with Lithuanian team Zalgiris Kaunas rather than wait to see when the NBA lockout ends. The third-year NBA guard averaged a career high 9.2 points and 23.9 minutes with the Toronto Raptors last year, good enough to at least have a qualifying offer extended his way.
Weems can probably expect to play about 70 games between the regular season and the Euroleague, vital experience for a player that is still just 24 and far from established. The guaranteed income of playing overseas is also not an insignificant consideration for a player in his position. Weems' agent, Roger Montgomery, said his client just couldn't afford the risk:
"There's no way I'm going sit by idly and wait for David Stern to decide if he wants to be fair," Montgomery said.
While Weems is not the first NBA player to bolt for Europe, Montgomery said he was the first of this offseason to sign a deal that doesn't allow him to return to the NBA if and when the lockout ends. If the lockout continues much longer, it wouldn't be at all surprising to see more players in Weems' position, follow his lead.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
An Indiana man was seriously injured when he drove into a commercial tractor-trailer Thursday night in Williams County.
Around 7:30 p.m., Racee Lee Austin May was driving westbound on U.S. Route 6 near state Route 66 in a Chrysler LeBaron. Troopers say he went off the left side of the roadway into a ditch, then drove back onto the roadway, where he struck a truck traveling eastbound.
May, 20, of Fort Wayne, IN, was flown to a Toledo hospital. As of 5 a.m. Friday, he is in critical condition.
The driver of the truck, David Ayers, 57, of Molino, FL, only suffered minor injuries and was treated on the scene.
The intersection was closed while crews assisted.

Baby Autumn came right on time, perfectly packaged and just as pretty as she can be! She is as pretty as her picture, but better as she is here! She is dressed in a lovely little Fall dress with a red beret. I have purchased many dolls from you and each one is just a beautiful as you promised.
Thank you Paradise Galleries! I'll be back again very soon. :)

Current research concentrations include:
- Variable Resolution Computed Tomography
- Functional Neuroimaging
- Molecular Imaging
- Digital Projection Radiography
- Quantitative Ultrasound Imaging
- Image Processing and Reconstruction Algorithms
- Cone Beam Computed Tomography
- Optical Imaging
- Radiotherapy Imaging
Some examples of specific on-going projects are described below:
VRX CT Scanner
A novel x-ray detector for CT scanning is being developed and evaluated, having a Variable Resolution X-ray (VRX) geometry that boosts resolution by scaling the detector cell array to the size of the subject being scanned.
Functional Neuroimaging
Functional neuroimaging technology is being used to investigate the impact of disease and treatment on brain function among children with catastrophic diseases. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) shows major white matter pathways in the brain. The multicolor images at the left illustrate normal white matter anatomy with red-green-blue encoding of the x-y-z orientation of the fibers.
Molecular Imaging
Non-invasive imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, intravital microscopy, near infrared and fluorescence are developed and used to study radiation effects on the blood-brain barrier, CNS tumors and novel drug delivery methods.
Data Pre-processing for VRX Scanners
The purpose of this research is to address some of the unique data processing challenged faced in optimizing the performance of Variable Resolution X-ray detectors used as CT scanners.
Automatic Brain Tumor Detection in
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
An automatic method to detect the tumor region in the brain using MRI images is being developed. The algorithm incorporates steps of feature extraction, image segmentation and image classification using fractal wavelet, image fusion, and neural network techniques.
Vein Contrast Enhancement
An optical imaging device has been developed that acquires an image of veins using near infrared light and projects an enhanced version of that image back onto the patient in real time using green light.
Digital Projection Radiography
Digital Projection Radiography addresses the replacement of conventional film/screen radiography by digital equipment and techniques to provide improved image quality, better patient care and increased productivity. Specific areas of development include computed radiography and digital radiography systems, flat panel detectors, high performance photostimulable phosphor screens, and image processing.
Quantitative Ultrasound Imaging
The goal of this research is to develop tissue classification aids based on objective criteria such as stiffness, concentration, size and attenuation. A standard B-mode thyroid image (C) has been analyzed to illustrate scatterer radius (A), scatterer size (D), and tissue stiffness (B).

A massive storm system is producing near blizzard conditions in parts of the Midwest, tornadoes and thunderstorms in Louisiana, and is now heading for the Carolinas.
While sunshine will remain plentiful through Thursday afternoon, showers will move in overnight with winter weather likely in the High Country where sleet, snow and freezing rain may make travel difficult Friday morning.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through Friday afternoon.
As temperatures in the mountains warm, the winter weather will change back to cold rain.
One to two inches can be expected before rain chances end late Saturday.
As the storm system approaches, the N.C. Department of Transportation is preparing its crews and equipment to respond to any ice or snow that may accumulate on North Carolina roads and bridges overnight and into Friday morning.
NCDOT encourages drivers to use extreme caution overnight and during the Friday morning commute.
Because the storm is predicted to begin as rain in most areas late tonight, NCDOT will not pretreat the roads in most parts of the state with a salt-water mixture called brine. Because of this, motorists should be aware of the potential for ice on roadways and especially on bridges and overpasses, which freeze first.
Remember these safety tips:
Crews across the state will be on alert and ready to respond if snow or ice begins to accumulate overnight or on Friday morning. They have attached plows and spreaders to their trucks, and topped off their fuel tanks to ensure they are prepared.
NCDOT has produced several videos explaining how maintenance crews gear up for winter weather months in advance, how they determine when to use salt and sand, and how they decide which roads to clear first. These videos and many others are available on the NCDOT YouTube page.
Check conditions before you go. Motorists can access real-time information about changing road conditions across the state in a number of ways:

I apologize for such a basic posting but I've poked around a bit and I can't find what I'm looking for.
I would like to develop and application that runs on the PC, like the PC Nokia suite and interfaces to the Nokia 6800 and similar devices. I may have to write something for the phone itself to accomplish what I want to do, or I may be able to use something that's already there. I don't know.
Where do I find basic documentation of how to do development for the PC interfacing to the phone and for the phone and for interfacing to things that are on the phone?
Thank you,

Ex-canon jailed for abusing boys
3:18pm Monday 19th November 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
An ex-canon at Carlisle Cathedral has been jailed for four years after sexually abusing three teenage boys.
Ronald Johns, 75, was demoted to a village parish nearly 20 years ago by his bishop instead of police being informed of allegations made by his first victim.
The victim made an official complaint to the church in 1993 when, by then, Johns was a canon at Carlisle Cathedral.
Johns made admissions to the late Right Rev Ian Harland who felt the appropriate sanction was to move him to a church in Caldbeck.
The matter only came to the attention of police this year when another victim complained he had also been abused by Johns, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
Police checked records at the cathedral which detailed the 1993 complaint dealt with by the Right Rev Harland, who died three years ago.
Johns, of Kings Road, Coltishall, Norwich, pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to sexual offences committed against three boys - aged between 14 and 17 at the time - between 1983 and 1991.
Sentencing him, Mr Justice Singh said: "As you accept, you have ruined your life and brought disgrace upon yourself."
He said his pre-sentence report had summarised his behaviour as "manipulative" and "predatory".
The current Bishop of Carlisle, the Right Rev James Newcome, said: "We unreservedly condemn this and any abuse. Jesus made it clear that those who are most vulnerable should be most precious, and hence safest with the Church. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."

BLOOMINGTON, Ill -- Employers, laborers and politicians can agree the current employment conditions in Illinois stem back to the recession of 2008.
What they don't agree on is how to move forward in order to lower the state's unemployment rate and create jobs for the working class.
Those marching in the 2012 McLean County Labor Day Parade held signs and flags up high with a clear message, "Bring Jobs Home."
Director of the Illinois Department of Labor, Joe Costigan, says without the working class, there would be no wages to support government.
"It's important that we're working all the time to try and create more jobs in Illinois," says Costigan. "It's been a tough economy since 2008, but we're coming back."
State Senator Bill Brady, a Republican from the 44th District, sees it another way.
"Let businesses do what they do well, which is invest capital to put people to work," Brady says. "Illinois struggles with one of the highest unemployment rates of any state in the nation, because we haven't freed the system up and that's what we're all about."
Senator Brady wants government to take the back seat and put the private sector at the wheel.
However AFSCME Local 31 representative Renee Nestler says many at this parade are in miserable conditions through no fault of their own.
"We have statewide contract issues that are affecting our state workers as well as in other bargaining units, they're still looking for concessions and take backs, because of the current economic condition," Nestler says.
Some treated the parade more like a rally, literally making their voices heard during an important election year for the state and country.

I can't see U-turn over housing plan – Malvern leader (From Evesham Journal)

I can't see U-turn over housing plan – Malvern leader
1:00pm Friday 16th November 2012 in News By Tarik Al Rasheed
HOPES that Malvern Hills politicians will perform a U-turn and save a housing masterplan for south Worcestershire have been dismissed by their leader.
Malvern Hills District Council (MHDC) stunned its partners Worcester City and Wychavon on Tuesday evening by voting to send the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) back to the drawing board.
Yesterday both Worcester and Wychavon spoke of a faint hope the SWDP could be saved when the three councils go to simultaneous votes on December 10.
Simon Geraghty, Worcester City Council leader, said: "I hope over the last couple of days it has got into people's minds what position we would be in without a plan.
"We have to be clear this is the second chance, and after that there is no chance. It is this plan or no plan, so although the indications are far from good you don't know what could happen."
But MHDC leader David Hughes, fresh out of an all-day meeting of the Joint Advisory Panel (JAP) overseeing the development plan, said that was unrealistic.
"I cannot see that the SWDP will come before the council again as stands," he said.
"That would contradict the motions passed this week and if it did come in that form it would undoubtedly by rejected."
Calling the JAP meeting "quite constructive under the circumstances", he said members had been finalising all the main SWDP policies and "non-contentious" housing allocations.
Everything agreed and endorsed by JAP will be "put on the shelf" for use as and when needed by the councils for their own plans.
Investigation of alternative housing allocations in Malvern Hills will start early next week.
This process means Coun Hughes cannot guarantee Malvern's plan will be ready for submission before March, when councils without a recognised plan will be at the mercy of the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
That concerns West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin, whose constituency takes in both Malvern Hills and Wychavon.
"I think it is an extremely high risk decision that has been taken (by Malvern Hills)," she said. "I champion localism and believe local people should decide where the best sites are for housing.
"But I think it would be irresponsible of our councillors to fail to deliver any plan by March.
"Otherwise there is a very strong chance of developers getting planning permission in places we really don't want them to. I completely understand why Wychavon feels that it needs to produce its own plan."
Coun Hughes, meanwhile, insists he remains the man to lead MHDC.
"I think what I have done with the plan up until now has been absolutely right. I am now being instructed by the council to take on board their additional recommendations.
"That is what I shall do and I shall do it with the minimum of collateral damage."

It's utter nonsense, and nothing to do with local needs.
If the politicians were so sure it stood up to scrutiny and had popular support, they would have made a better job of the consultation and allowed votes.
Unfortunately, the main parties are united in stupidity when it comes to urban sprawl.
And today's low by-election, with its low turnout, is a good indicator of the low esteem in which politicians and parties are held.

Andy-Apache says...
This is about shedding populace from cities. I honestly cannot see any requirement for thousands of new homes in Malvern, and don't understand why, if there is a shortage of housing somewhere else, why Malvern should have to pay for it with loss of green space. It's a very communist outlook to suggest that because cities are full, everywhere else should be ruined to the same level.
This is beside the point that there is no new employment in Malvern, so the new influx (aside from those who don't understand the concept of birth control and now need a free house) will need to travel - probably to Worcester and the M5 via the already overburdened A4440 to get to their place of work.
To those who say the developers will build industrial parks too, and improve the road network, I say you're deluded. Look at Malvern Vale, and the promised business park which has now quietly been dropped in favour of more profitable housing.

By far my favorite room of the house to add a little gold to is the living room. It's the space where we entertain and spend a lot of time as a family so it has to look spectacular. This modern living room above has the perfect balance of gold accents throughout. I am in love with the little side tables and how about that beautiful bright couch? It goes so well with the gold accents. I know they say that diamonds are a girl's best friend, and while I do love diamonds, I have to say that gold is a girl's true best friend.
Gold can add so much with so little! You can add a few accents throughout the room to give it a more polished and sophisticated look, or you can go a little overboard and make the room look like something Donald Trump would feel comfortable in. Either way, gold is lovely.
1. Jonathan Adler Meurice Brass Robert Abbey Chandelier 2. Glitz Filbert Arm Chair 3. Robert Abbey Sputnik Ceiling Light 4. Theissen Stripe Black Pillow
These gold items are just downright gorgeous, don't you think? The chandelier and the ceiling fixture are both beautiful pieces that make a statement. I think they would look fantastic hovering above a brightly colored couch with some striped pillows. So chic!
The armchair has a fantastic modern mid century look to it, and when you add the gold on top of that, well you have a winner of an armchair. The throw pillow is kind of perfect because it has two of my favorite things in one. Gold and stripes! This pillow would be a great and subtle way to tie in some other gold accents throughout the room.
Hope you have as much fun with gold as I do!

If you had to live off the land, could you? What if you had to do it with only a balcony or a tiny plot of land in the middle of the city?
There's a growing movement of "urban homesteaders" who are doing just that. With only 1/12 acre of land, Los Angeles residents Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen (pictured below) are among a handful of people leading the way, and they're doing so with wry humor and a cool, metropolitan sense of style.
Coyne and Knutzen penned The Urban Homestead, a book that covers everything domestic, from composting to cooking. Urbanites themselves, they're the first to acknowledge that homesteading is a matter of trial and error (as you'll see on their blog) and a matter of degrees. Not everyone has the time or will to maintain a chicken coop, yet (as we found firsthand) it can be surprisingly easy to keep the raw ingredients for clean, green household cleaners on hand.
Urban homesteading is about living in the city in an environmentally sensitive way at the domestic level. Whether it be simple addition of drought tolerant herbs to your garden (as in the Laura Cooper home pictured at the top of this post) or urban based farming initiatives such as community gardens (LA's Manaznita Street Garden pictured below) are about consuming less while growing more.
As this approach to city living grows in popularity, modern lighting retailers like Euro Style Lighting are doing what they can to expand their product bases to include designs that complement the lifestyle. Solar landscape lighting is an energy neutral way to keep the garden lit after dark. Energy efficient and longer lasting than incandescent bulbs, LED outdoor lighting can help reduce both electricity costs and landfill waste. And dark sky compliant lighting leads the to less light polluted skies in the urban environment.

Kichler Dark Sky Nickel Outdoor Wall Sconce
Hinkley Piza Angle Bronze LED Landscape Light
Small space living. A penchant for artisan produced food and goods. A belief that small scale changes can contribute toward a cleaner city and a sustainable future. These are the tenets of the urban homesteading ethos, and while it may sound like something straight out of an episode of Portlandia, you don't hear anyone making jokes when a fresh loaf of home-baked bread or a batch of home-brewed beer lands on the table, courtesy of the urban homesteader.

Simple lines and bright colors can be so underrated! Ms. Bright & Exotic aims to change that by taking advantage of both in her space.
Steel Droplet Blue Accent Lamps with crisp white drum shades come in a set of two, offering a calm and refreshed feel to whatever room you place them in. Our Ms. uses them as a pair on either side of the bed, but they can just as easily be split up.
The distinctive pattern on the back of this Jennifer Wooden Modern Lounge Chair makes Ms. Bright & Exotic feel like she's lounging in the Caribbean. The extra wide seat is perfect for enjoying lazy cocktails or a book that she just can't put down.
The Brushed Nickel Exotic Peacock Giclee Pendant is our lady's favorite way to add a pop of color to her kitchen – it features every color of the rainbow! The exotic peacock-inspired pattern looks different as the light changes.
Nothing like a big mirror to play up a room, and the SIlver Teardrop Round Wall Mirror does just that. The antique silver finish frame makes this piece feel like it has its share of stories to tell, while the beveled teardrop shapes give it a stylish look.
Ms. Bright & Exotic loves a good hot bath after a tough day, the Possini Euro Frosted Glass Polished Nickel Bath Fixture casts a cool and alluring light to help her relax. Two layers of frosted water glass create an almost-at-the-beach vibe which is just what she's after.

There is nothing like modern home design. It's clean, creative and fresh. If you are a minimalist by nature, than you are probably drawn to modern design. One thing that I've noticed about some modern decor is that it can tend to feel too cold.
If you like modern design but you like feeling homey and warm, you probably are trying to figure out how to create a space that you love. One suggestion is adding vintage elements to give a room some character and warmth. Above we see a vintage armoire piece placed in a modern living room. It totally works and gives off such a cool vibe. Also the of the color of the piece fits perfectly with the sofa and pillows.
In this dining space, we see several vintage elements. The brass light fixture fits nicely with the modern table and chairs. Also, you see that there is a mix of new modern chairs with vintage modern chairs.
Here is another vintage cabinet. This teal piece looks fantastic paired with gray fabric, which is always a more modern option. And it also looks great with the modern desk lamp. Pieces like this tell wonderful stories in a space. And if you are decorating a modern room, only use one to two pieces like this so that you don't create a flea market look.
In this small office, the owners have paired an aged, vintage desk with a modern office chair. It totally works and creates the best of both worlds! Adding a modern desk lamp is also a great accent for a vintage desk.
One last advice for mixing vintage with modern is try and find a vintage piece that is totally out of the box. When placing it in a minimalist space, it will completely wow your guests!

PEORIA, Ill. -- Since it opened in 1953, Lou's Drive-In has been owned by the same family, under the same sign on the same street, serving almost all of the same foods.
"People say nothing has changed, you know, in those 60 years," said employee Vickie Couri.
The signature homemade root beer and the sandwiches at Lou's keep bringing back like long-time regulars Marcie Gordon and Dee Brauer.
"Gosh we've been coming here since our kids were tiny," Gordon said to her friend and lunch date. "It's the consistency and the friendliness and the cleanliness."
"They're so clean," Brauer agrees, "and of course I knew Lou personally and we miss him."
Doug Smith had a barbecue basket and two hot dogs with a root beer, which he upgraded to a large.
Even that wasn't enough, so he paid a couple extra dollars for a refill.
I ordered a double cheeseburger basket, but I wish I would have ordered one of those chili cheese dogs I've heard so much about.
I too upgraded to a large root beer, which tastes like liquefied root beer candy.
For dessert, Doug had a chocolate and pineapple sundae and I had a perfect chocolate malt to wash down my meal.
For our lunches we paid $18.63 plus $5.73 for dessert, and the $2 for Doug's refill.
"It's just a fun place," said Couri. "You know, if you're in an office and you work all day, then you can come here and just enjoy the weather, get away from the work."
Lou's Drive-In is located at 4229 North Knoxville Avenue in Peoria.
They are open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. all week.

The Best Way to Invest in Brazil's Oil Boom
Soroush is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In 2006, a remarkable discovery was made in the seas off the coast of Brazil's southeastern tip. Energy explorers searching for new deposits of 'black gold' found the world's first major oil field below the pre-salt layer – a mineral patch found in the ocean between South America and Africa.
Named for one of the most influential ethnicities of the country, the Tupi Field is a 650-square mile area resting below 6,600 feet of water and 16,000 feet of salt rock. The oil giant Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras (NYSE: PBR), which is primarily owned by the Brazilian government, holds a controlling interest in the fields in the region. With 6.5 billion barrels of proven reserves, Tupi holds enough oil to meet global demand for three months, though this unearthing was only the start of Brazil's oil windfall.
One year later, the Carioca-Sugar Loaf field was discovered in the Santos Basin – the same area as the Tupi Field. The Carioca-Sugar Loaf is one of the largest and deepest oil fields in the world; it is estimated to contain upwards of 30 billion barrels at 30,000 feet below sea level. While this presents a mechanical challenge to drillers, Petrobras has committed $225 billion to develop the field over the next five years. Moreover, the Iara Oil Field, which was discovered in 2008, is expected to hold an additional 3 to 4 billion barrels of oil, though these estimates have not been confirmed.
Altogether, these three discoveries nearly triple the size of Brazil's oil reserves, placing the nation on par with the United States and Saudi Arabia in terms of crude deposits.
Already the world's 20th largest petro company in terms of proven reserves, Petrobras owns approximately 65 percent of the 40 billion-plus barrels mentioned above. These finds increase the company's reserve total threefold, pushing it into the global top ten, ahead of well-known names like ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), BP PLC (NYSE: BP), the Chinese PetroChina and the Russian Gazprom. Due to its close relationship with the Brazilian government, Petrobras is in the best position to benefit from the country's oil boom.
With drilling and production costs expected to average $40 a barrel, Petrobras is sitting on more than $1 trillion of oil profits; and that's assuming that prices remain depressed at $80 a barrel. Now, costs are inherently higher in the Santos Basin region due to depth – Exxon and Chevron pay around $10 a barrel – though the sheer size of the deepwater deposits warrant investors' optimism.
In fact, Petrobras has already been growing its top line at an exceptional rate since the recession, as its 3-year average revenue growth (7.3%) is superior to the industry average (1.6%), and competitors like XOM (0.6%), CVX (-2.4%), and BP (1.7%). While PBR has had difficulties translating this to the bottom line – earnings have declined by almost 20 percent over the same period – much of this can be attributed to increased research and development expenses. In 2011 alone, these outlays increased from $993 million to $4.08 billion, as the company cited a need for innovative solutions to its upcoming projects. PBR is partnering with International Business Machines, General Electric, and Schlumberger Ltd to develop a more cost-effective way to drill through the thick layer of salt that separates its oil from the ocean.
Shares of Petrobras look to be undervalued at the moment -- the company sports a P/E ratio (7.1X) that is below the industry average (8.1X) and its own 10-year historical average (11.2X). Moreover, the company's earnings multiple is also below XOM (10.3X), CVX (7.6X), and PTR (11.8X). Over the past decade, Petrobras' earnings have historically traded at a 34 percent discount to the S&P's average. Inexplicably, they are cheaper this year, trading at a 50 percent discount. Coming off the heels of a better than expected earnings release last month, analysts are expecting PBR to end 2012 with an EPS of $2.72, while reaching $3.13 a share in 2013. Assuming consensus holds, fairly valued shares of Petrobras should eclipse $25 by next summer. The stock currently trades in the $19 range, making a return north of 30 percent a real possibility.
Going forward, Petrobras is insulated from the geopolitical shocks in the Middle East that have left others in the oil industry on shaky ground; this is perhaps the greatest reason to consider the company in your portfolio. Brazil's economy has quadrupled in size since the start of the 21st century, and currently ranks as the world's sixth largest with $2.4 trillion in GDP. GDP per capita, or standard of living, has grown from $7,400 in 2000 to over $11,000 this past year. These gains have a pronounced effect on domestic oil usage, as Brazilians continually have more Reals to spend on consumption.
From a global perspective, oil demand grew by 310.25 million barrels in 2011, and is expected to grow by nearly 800 million barrels over the next two years. Since May, oil prices have fallen by over 20 percent, though most of this movement looks to be a result of disappointing economic data and fears of a double-dip recession. Over the long term, oil is still a bullish commodity, and expected to rise above $115 a barrel by 2013.
Driven by the recent discoveries of immense crude oil reserves off the coast of Brazil, Petrobras will continue to emerge as a major player in the global oil industry over the next decade. Due to the relative stability of the Brazilian region, and PBR's own persistent undervaluation, now looks like the best time to take a long position. WealthLift's Sentiment Index rates Petrobras as a strong buy, with nearly 100 percent of investors placing an overperform rating on the stock.

School boiler room affected by flooding
2:42pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News
A school's boiler room was affected by flooding.
Firefighters pumped water from the basement at Woodham Walter Primary School in The Street, Woodham Walter, from 3.45pm to just before 6pm yesterday.
Colin Bennett, chairman of governors, said: "When we came back to school on Monday we found flooding the boiler room, which is currently being attended to by engineers.
"Fortunately only one classroom and the hall was affected."
Temporary heaters were installed in those two areas.

Granted this just happened today, Sark and company leaving the UW could have some pretty big repercussions with the incoming recruiting class. Who knows what the future will hold for these kids? One can only hope that things cool down with some of these guys, and that whomever is hired by the UW as the new HC will do everything he can to keep them solid.
Remember, Dawgfans, these are initial reactions from kids who change girlfriends every day. Like Mr. Knibbe said, take it with a grain of salt ... or predict doom and gloom for the future of the program ... hey, everyone can be emotional, even if it's not that time of the month.

Finals are approaching quickly! Here are a few tips to make the week a little less stressful.
- Get an early start
- Don't wait until the day before to begin studying. Start preparing for your exams at least a week before.
- Check UTC Online
- Check your courses on blackboard for study guides or tips from your professors on preparing for the exam.
- Organize
- Utilize your planner. Mark down each of your finals and their start times. It is also helpful to mark in your planner a study schedule (i.e. what you need to study for each day and how much time you should devote to each subject)
- Outline
- Making an outline will give you a great starting place. For each subject make an outline of the key points to study. Go back and fill in the specific details.
- Make flash cards
- After you have made your outline, make flash cards with the key points on one side and the specific details for that point on the other. Keep the flashcards with you in case you have spare time to look over them.
- Get help
- Don't be afraid to go to your professor for help. If you do not understand a topic, they are more than willing to help. Tutors are also available for assistance, as well as peers who are in your class.
- Sleep
- Your brain needs rest to help you pass those tests! Get at least 7 hours of sleep the night before your big test.
- Don't rush
- Take your time during your test. Read every question carefully so you can give the best answer.
Good Luck!

It certainly seems like it is Anna Kendrick's time to shine. The Tony and Academy Award nominee recently wrapped filming the screen adaptation of The Last Five Years and also is in talks to portray Cinderella in the film version of the Tony-winning musical Into the Woods. Kendrick (High Society, "Up in the Air," "Pitch Perfect, "Camp") also scored a pop hit with the song "Cups," and we think she could also score in the title role of Funny Girl.

Irish Construction Industry 29th May 2009
The €8.6 m contract to construct the new €15m greyhound stadium in Limerick has been awarded to John Sisk & Son Ltd.
The Irish Greyhound Board awarded contract for what will be the largest construction project starting in the south-west this year this week.
The project consists of the construction of a new five-storey Greyhound Racing Stadium and track, which will be similar in size, scope and complexity to Cork Greyhound Stadium.
The scheme will comprise of restaurant / dining areas, tiered viewing areas, bar concourses, kennel block, shop storage areas.
A new three-storey Headquarters Office Building attached to the Stadium is also to be constructed to house the Irish Greyhound Board.
When the project was announced last year, the Irish Greyhound Board said the scheme will create 250 construction jobs.
The stadium is due for completion in September 2010.
More than 100 permanent jobs will be created at the new stadium, which will also become home to the headquarters of the Irish Greyhound board.
"The original plans approved by the Irish Greyhound Board in 2005 have been updated to accommodate greater building and environmental efficiency,†Adrian Neilan, IGB Chief Executive said at the time.
"This stadium will be right on the cutting edge of sports and leisure building and will reflect the confidence generated within our sport in recent years,†he added.
John J Casey and Company was appointed as project manager for the construction of the new Limerick Greyhound Stadium in 2008.
Limerick Racecourse Plc
Greyhound racing stadium and ancillary development works, car parking, lighting, landscaping and access works all on a site of 6.6 Ha. The track will be a 500m Greyhound track (480m internal circumference/510m external circumference), it will provide stadia viewing, dining area, kennel block, shop storage areas and office buildings. Site levels will be increased to accommodate the proposed development so that the proposed FFL (Final Floor Level) of the stadium will be 4.5 OD. The track will generally be at a level of 4.2 aOD and the final height of the stadium building will be 16.1m with additional roof support poles of 9.7m. Filling of the lands over an infrastructure way leave is also proposed. The facility will provide for 510 car, 54 greyhound trainer vehicles and 3 coach parking spaces around the stadium will access onto and from the Dock Road via the permitted internal access which will require detail changes. The proposed will also allow for the construction of a roundabout on this internal access road to access the northeast end of the stadium site. An Environmental Impact Statement accompanies this application and will be available for inspection or purchase at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy.
Development Address: Former Greenpark Racecourse, Dock Road

. . . . . Ah no, once it had started that was my main achievement if you like to put it that way, to keep the pressure on that it would be built and so if a person who wants to walk off his turkey on Christmas Day, have a walk down by the Dock road and I'm quite sure that three storeys of the stand will be up.
New Limerick greyhound stadium is on track to bring in crowds (Limerick Leader)
By Mike Dwane
WITH just under two weeks to go to the grand opening of the €18 million, 2,900-capacity Limerick Greyhound Stadium on the Dock Road, management is reporting a healthy interest in the new venue for benefit nights and social occasions.
Olivia O'Sullivan, PRO of the Young Munster women's team, said that in the new track, she has found the "perfect" venue for an upcoming fashion show and fundraiser.
Despite winning AIL honours with Young Munster's rivals Shannon, Limerick Greyhound Stadium's commercial and operations manager Declan O'Halloran said he was delighted to give Olivia the full guided tour of hospitality facilities ahead of opening night on October 8.
"I was really curious to come out and see for myself what everyone has been talking about and I haven't been disappointed," said Olivia.
"What I have found is a perfect entertainment venue, with large capacity, loads of natural light and most importantly an efficient team on the ground, led by Declan, who are so encouraging and helpful as we plan our fundraiser.
"The fact that everyone is so curious to see the new Limerick Greyhound Stadium will add to our special night and I am so looking forward to bringing our fashion event here in November."
Limerick Greyhound Stadium boasts a 190-seat restaurant, private hospitality suites and gallery bars.
New Limerick ready to open. (m a n a b o u t d o g b l o g)
Was at the NEW Limerick Greyhound Stadium last night for an official trials session. The new track in the Dock Road is all but complete and ready to open, on target, a week tomorrow.
I brought in Bantiss Domino for a qualifying trial and in her first look at the track she clocked an unexpectedly quick 29.59 when winning her trial by about 10 lengths. She caught me out it's fair to say, but the track was running very well. 2 trials before us Skywalker Queen, 2009 Irish Oaks winner, went around in 28.48.
What can I say about the place? It's a dog man's dream. The track is as big a gallop as I have seen at a greyhound stadium, with the opening 2 bends in particular extremely fair with dogs able to pass on the inside or outside.
There seems to have been some input from owners into the design of the facilities for dogs and owners as little touches were noticeable such as 'easy open' gates onto and off the racing circuit, washdown facilities second to none just at the pick-up, and of course state of the art kennels which are being installed today.
In order for everything to go to plan on the big night (lets face it there will always be snags), the stadium is holding a soft opening, or dress rehearsal, next Monday night where 4 'trial races' will take place under full race night conditions. Photo finish equipment will be in operation, fast food and bar sections will be opened, and dogs will race as if it were the real thing.
Congratulations to the Irish Greyhound Board for creating what looks to me like a longtail paradise...and within budget and on time too!

This was our 1st time in the Haven and it didn't dissappoint us. We normally get a suite on NCL for the perks but the Haven could run a couple thousand more on the 7 day cruises so we don't bother but for a couple hundred more we decided to try it. My daughter and her friend really enjoyed the pool and Jacuzzi it was a very relaxing area and Sherwin the Haven Butler did a good job of making sure everyone had what they needed. There's a concierge lounge on the Jewel if you walk up the stairs by the elevator bank that overlooks decks 12 & 13 and makes an awesome spot for the sail off when it's cold...we were the only one's there.
Speaking of the Concierge he was no where to be found. There was a letter in the room with his name and extension but never saw him until we were leaving on Sunday. I did call him Friday to see if he could change our dinner reservation at Cagney's from 7:30 to 6:30 because we wanted to see the 8PM show but he said they were booked full until 9:30 so we decided to go down at 7PM and to our surprise they weren't even 1/2 full?? They seated us and service was so fast we were done just before the show was about to start. We were on the Gem 7 day cruise in May to Florida/Bahamas and Ryan the concierge was always visible but it seemed like everyone on the Jewel was resting for their upcoming 12 day cruise. The cruise director was no where to be found and his staff didn't seem very motivated...they need to duplicate Sinan on the Gem and get some motivation in that staff. Sinan was everywhere on the Gem but this guy on the Jewel lacked any enthusiasm to the point that I don't even know what his name is...he's in the wrong line of work.
More dissapointments..they don't offer the soda program on the 2 day, there's no room service (nothing), no towel animals even on the 2nd night, no champagne in the suites for sail off. The biggest dissapointment is this is a huge money maker for NCL...all the pay extra restaurants were packed to the point they added extra hours, tons of drinks being sold and Casino packed but I didn't feel they take it serious enough. Friday night after the 2nd show we went to the Blue Lagoon for a few wings and before I got to open my mouth the girl at the podium said it's quicker to get the food to go?? The place was 1/2 empty and I said we would prefer to sit here so she said suit yourself, walked to a table threw the menus down and walked away?? so much for those Platinum Haven card keys:-)
Long story short this 2 day cruise didn't cost us any less per night then if we were on a longer cruise but the lack of motivation and all the extra corner cutting will keep us from ever booking a CTN in the future.

Residence Life Staff
More than half of the traditional student body lives in residence halls. An important part of our educational philosophy is that each student should have an opportunity for group living experience. The residence life program as an extension of a student's total educational experience.
Director of Residence Life
The Director manages the overall operations of the department, including the supervision of professional staff, eight Residence Halls, and the student staff associated with the program. The Director is ultimately responsible for the overall leadership of the department and facilitating all housing assignments, and room change request.
Resident Director (RD) or Area Coordinator (AC)
A professional staff manages each residence hall. The RD/AC is the chief administrator of the hall and is responsible for a student staff of Resident Assistants (RA). These student staff members have assigned areas of responsibility within that building and serve as the most immediate liaison between students and the Residence Life Office.
Resident Assistant (RA)
Each residence hall or floor is assigned a Resident Assistant. Selection is based on the student's maturity, experience, and interest in building a community conducive to student growth. They function to promote the well being of our entire on-campus community.
All members of the Resident Assistant Staff complete training programs designed to prepare them to work with students' personal and interpersonal concerns, group/community development, residence life, campus resources, policies, procedures and regulations.
We highly recommended that each student gets to know the staff in their residence hall. They are there to serve the residents and respond to their needs.

The third week of the NFL season is nearly in the books with only Monday Night Football to go. We'll look back at this week and remember it as the day the Cardinals went 3-0 for the first time in nearly 40 years, the amount of star power on the injury report this week and, of course, all the replacement referee screw-ups.
Three unbeaten teams remain, including the Cardinals
The Cardinals -- yes, the Cardinals -- are one of three unbeaten teams remaining after three games. This is the first time since 1974 they've been 3-0. The win on Sunday was as impressive as you'll find, shutting down the previously 2-0 Eagles, 27-6.
(Photo via Jennifer Stewart-US PRESSWIRE)
The Houston Texans, who look like the best team in the NFL right now, also sit at 3-0 after beating the Broncos. This is a significant game because it was the first true test for the Texans this season. And they passed with flying colors.
The Atlanta Falcons, who also have a strong argument in the NFL's best team discussion, sit unbeaten as well. They might have the most impressive start of them all beating the Chiefs, Broncos and Chargers to open the season. The Chargers looked like the best team in the AFC West -- and the Falcons dominated them, 27-3.
Debate over NFL's most disappointing team is over
The debate over the NFL's most disappointing team is over. It's the New Orleans Saints and there is no longer a debate. The Saints dropped to 0-3 after blowing an 18-point to lead to the previously winless Chiefs -- at home. Turnovers and a horrible defense -- and I mean horrible -- are the main culprits in this one.
The Saints and Browns are your winless teams. Only the Saints surprises me of those two.

Injuries to star players are piling up
If there was one theme of Week 3, it was injuries. Star players from were dropping like flies out there. Read the detailed analysis of the key players in our injury report wrap-up.
Bills running back C.J. Spiller was playing like an MVP candidate in the first two weeks of the season, averaging over 10 yards per carry, a ridiculously high number. On Sunday, the Bills saw the bad news -- Spiller hurt his shoulder. It's not season-ending or anything like that, but head coach Chan Gailey confirmed that Spiller would miss at least Week 4, and perhaps another week. Here's a look at what happened.
Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey suffered the scariest injury of the day when Steelers' Ryan Mundy collided into Heyward-Bey's head, causing the Raiders receiver to hit the ground.
Medical personnel came out and immobilized him before carting him off. He was transported to the hospital where he remained, according to the Raiders.
@thedhb85 is in stable condition and is staying in the hospital overnight for observation.— OAKLAND RAIDERS (@RAIDERS) September 24, 2012
Darrelle Revis' injury is what could be the most devastating to any one team. Revis went down on a non-contact play, which is always scary because those seem to often be serious. Reports say they fear this could be an ACL injury, which would be worst case scenario. Revis allows New York's defense to do so many different things that losing him would mean big tweaks to its defensive scheme.
We save Dexter McCluster's injury for last because it's the grossest one. McCluster caught a pass in the flat in the second half but lost his balance and as he went to the ground, his elbow ... Ugh.
Reggie Bush, who is off to a good start with the Dolphins this year, banged up his knee. The early reactions are that it's not serious, which is a big relief to the Dolphins. Ryan Tannehill is playing well to start his NFL career and part of that reason is all the production he's getting from Bush.
Matthew Stafford's leg injury doesn't look serious but he wasn't able to finish the game. The Lions are saying he has a pulled muscle, something he dealt with in practice last week. A pulled muscle would rule out any worst-case-scenarios, like a season-ending injury. A Monday MRI will determine more.
If you didn't read any of that, watch this:
The best opening play of the week
Mohamed Sanu is a receiver but he did some quarterbackin' here.
That was the first play from scrimmage, a 72-yard pass from a receiver to a receiver, A.J. Green. Who knew Sanu had an arm to rival Andy Dalton's?
The biggest surprise of the week: Vikings over 49ers
There will be change atop our weekly power rankings. The 49ers, our No. 1 team last week, surprised with a double digit loss to the Vikings. This game will be remembered more as Christian Ponder's breakout game, likely the best of his NFL career to date. His line: 21-of-35 for 198 yards passing, 33 yards rushing and three total touchdowns.
And this run, this was awesome:
Against arguably the NFL's best run defense makes it even sweeter. This is another great play by Ponder.
Replacement refs are the story once again
No matter how hard we try, we can't avoid talking about the replacement refs. Believe me, I've tried. I can't stand talking about the zebras but this week was especially bad. We'll have a complete run down of the replacement ref screw-ups but if there's one moment that can sum up the officiating it's this one:
That's Cowboys receiver Kevin Ogletree slipping on a replacement ref's hat. I almost wish he was injured on the play because we need a massive screw-up for the NFL to end the lockout. Luckily, though, he wasn't.
Oh, and Bill Belichick? Get out your checkbook.
Torrey Smith's emotional game pushes Ravens over Patriots
It's hard to even imagine the emotions going through Torrey Smith's head as he lined up to play on Sunday Night Football. The Ravens receiver lost his brother in a motorcycle accident earlier in the day but decided to play in the game anyway.
Related: Torrey Smith's first touchdown | His second one
Not only did he play, he was a standout catching six passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns, an incredible effort in what was likely the worst day of his life.
I can't even imagine. I don't even want to imagine.
