I have used both FF and APS-C DSLRs for several years. I currently own a Canon 7D and Canon 350D... and have owned both EF and EF-S lenses since I got into DSLRs in 2005.
My current mainstay of "go-to-body" and lens combination is the Canon 7D with Canon 15-85mm. It's vastly superior than the 17-40 in IQ sharpness, focal length range at both wide and tele-end, usability, IS - and at least on-par USM. The only advantage of the 17-40 is a somewhat better build quality (also incorporating improved weather sealing).
When I was considering what lens to use as my walkaround for my 7D, I had owned a good copy of the EF 28-135mm - but it is not as good as the EF-S 15-85mm even at equivalent focal lengths. I have an EF-S 18-55mm (but a non IS version) so that's "ok" the IS version of the kit lens is better The newer EF-S 18-135mm STM is quite good (better than the non STM one).
Macro-wise, I went with the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM, over above any 3rd party (mainly to do with AF and IQ). I chose the EF 100mm over the EF-S 60mm, really only due to preferring a longer working focal length when doing macro photography. I am glad I did... there was a small consideration that if can also use this lens on a FF.
I own an EF 70-300mm USM IS L - which is a truly great lens, and as photozone points out - is superior on a crop body (in terms of using the sweet spot / centre of the lens) - and gaining the 'crop factor' advantage, that is presents a 480mm equivalent image on a APS-C body. But even if this 70-300mm L would have been an EF-S... I still would have bought it!
Finally in UWA land, I own a Sigma 10-20mm HSM EX... which is a great lens. When I was considering UWAs, there was much less choice then than there is now. I went with a new Sigma 10-20 based on a much better price than I could get a new EF-S Canon 10-22mm USM for. My Sigma gives me sharp corner to corner images at the equivalent of 16mm in 35mm format.
Lens wise, I say buy what you can budget / ie what is affordable to you - and what you will use often now. That's my 2cents worth.
+1 on the Sigma 10-20 on my 7D. I don't use it often, but am always very pleasantly surprised when I see the quality of the images. My other glass is Canon L, and to me, the Sigma is just as sharp.

Editor's note: This story has been altered from its original version to clarify that the indoor trampoline park in Phoenix where a man was injured and died in 2012 was not a Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park.
LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Fun for all ages, or an accident waiting to happen? Injuries are mounting at indoor trampoline parks, including one in Louisville. Doctors have treated broken bones, torn ligaments and worse. Experts are not saying you or your kids should never step foot in a trampoline park. But the fact is, even the parks themselves admit the fun comes with risk.
[SLIDESHOW: Serious injuries mounting at trampoline parks]Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park in Jeffersontown wants you to see scenes like those posted on its website: teens and adults bouncing high, playing games, and smiling big.But it's a different type of image that played out more than once in the past year that is becoming all too common.In March, paramedics were called to the dodge ball court after someone suffered a knee injury so bad he had to be carried out.One month earlier, Sara Moses had a trip to Sky Zone end with a trip to the emergency room."I heard pop, pop, pop, and then my leg went out to the left," Moses said, pointing out the five different scars on her leg from where doctors scoped and then operated on her injured knee.Moses needed reconstructive surgery to repair the damage. She ruptured her ACL and tore her meniscus in two places while jumping with her 3 and 5-year-olds not far from where we saw kids using trampoline walls to do flips upwards of 10 feet into the air."I wasn't doing anything crazy or anything," Moses said, "just jumped and landed wrong." She added, "It really is a greater risk than you would think."Records reveal three badly broken ankles in a four-month period at the Jeffersontown Sky Zone in 2013. The list of broken bones and damaged joints at Sky Zones in Cincinnati and Memphis is even longer."I don't think they thought the severity of the injuries are as bad as they can be," said Dr. Joshua Meier, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Kosair Children's Hospital.Meier said he treats trampoline injuries on a daily basis, both from Sky Zone and more traditional free-standing trampolines. Meier said the most serious injuries are open fractures or compound fractures where the bone is comingout of the skin.The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against recreational trampoline use and says while data is insufficient regarding safety at trampoline parks specifically, "jumpers may be at increased risk for suffering an injury... potentially catastrophic."
[VIEW: American Academy of Pediatrics advises against recreational trampoline use]
That was the case in 2012 when, according published reports, a man died at a different indoor trampoline park in Phoenix after landing wrong in a foam pit. Sky Zone declined an on-camera interview but issued the following statement:"As with any recreational activity, there is a potential for injury, so Sky Zone has posted warning signs and guidelines to educate guests on how to fly safe. Additionally, we have safety videos playing throughout the park and have court monitors that strictly enforce our rules on each trampoline court. "They also make everyone sign a waiver that Rheanne Dodson Falkner, a personal injury attorney, said was created to protect Sky Zone against being held responsible for anything that goes wrong inside the facility.
[VIEW: Participant agreement, release and assumption of risk waiver]
"They're basically saying this is inherently dangerous, and our employees might mess up, but we're not going to be liable," Falkner said.
For Sara Moses, that means lost pay during the months she will be in rehabilitation instead of at work.
"I wish I could say something like, 'I was downhill in Boulder,' but I was jumping on a trampoline," Moses said.
[VIEW: American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons position statement on trampolines and trampoline safety]
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says injuries from all types of recreational trampoline use is rising as its popularity grows, and significant injuries are being seen in both children and adults.

HOLLAND, OH (WTOL) - A train hit two pedestrian students, killing one of them, at McCord near Springfield High School Wednesday morning around 7:16, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Freshman Cody L. Brown, 15, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Brianna Mullinger was taken in critical condition at Toledo Hospital where she underwent surgery.
The students, both band members, were walking to school when a westbound Amtrak train hit them, police said.
Witnesses say the gates were down and the train conductor was blowing its horn non-stop. Investigators don't know why the students tried to beat the train but say the cold morning temperature could be one possible explanation.
Amtrak confirms the train has a forward-facing video camera. Law enforcement is now reviewing that video to determine exactly what may have happened.
"There are pedestrian students who cross the tracks. There are students who drive to school and cross with their vehicles. There are school buses in this area. So yes, it is heavily traveled by the students at Springfield High School," said Lt. Dean Laubacher with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Springfield High School remained in session, though it gave students the option of going home. About 100 students left school. All after school and evening activities are canceled for Wednesday night.
The school has mobilized its crisis team. Grief and guidance counselors as well as local pastors are at the school. They've also contacted other districts to get members of their crisis teams in place.
The Amtrak train, called the Capital Limited was Chicago bound with 153 passengers. It was running an hour-an-a half late and left the Toledo station at 6:53. The tragedy occurred seven minutes later.
After the accident, the train came to a stop more than a quarter-mile down the tracks.

Ohio State's been better than Kansas throughout the NCAA Tournament. In their 2012 Final Four matchup with the Jayhawks, the Buckeyes are proving it, building a 28-17 lead at the final media timeout of the first half.
William Buford leads Ohio State with eight points, but Jared Sullinger is close behind with seven. And Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft have five points each.
But the Buckeyes' most important advantage has been on the defensive end. Ohio State's limited Kansas to 32 percent shooting, and kept Thomas Robinson in check, holding the talented Jayhawks forward to just four points.

A Kansas City mother has gone above and beyond to use her personal experiences with a special needs child to help other parents.
Becky Ottinger's role as the executive director of the Joshua Center in Kansas City is much more than a job. For her, it's personal.
In 1987 her son, Josh, was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
"I just knew that I needed to spend the rest of my life doing whatever I needed to do to help Josh be successful," Ottinger said.
She didn't limit her work to just Josh. She quit her teaching job, instead devoting all of her time passing along what she had learned about these disorders to help other families.
"I wanted to start something like this. I believe it takes a village. It takes the doctor, the counselor and the teacher and everybody working together to help these kids and the families. I believe you help the schools and that's what we do," she said.
She opened the Joshua Child and Family Development Center in 1996.
It provides counseling, social skills groups and camps for children. The mission is to help children and their families living with disorders such as Tourettes, Asperger syndrome, high-functioning autism, OCD and ADHD.
"There an awful lot of people that will tell you and advise you what to do, institutionalize. I had a principal tell me one time that some kids just don't make it and you just can't let that happen," Ottinger said.
Through a system of games, children who might normally appear anti-social are learning to interact, learning empathy and learning to function in the mainstream.
While the focus is on the children, parents also find support the minute they walk into the door.
"The greatest thing that I think we do here is we provide support for the parents. You can walk into our waiting room. There's usually quite a few parents waiting to see one of the therapists and they're getting support from us. They can tell any store and we can say yeah we've heard that before. You can't go anywhere else and get that kind of support," she said.

METHUEN, Mass. — An 18-year-old Methuen, Mass. high school student was arrested yesterday afternoon after allegedly posting comments on his Facebook page that suggested he wanted to kill people and outdo the Boston Marathon bombings, police said. He's being held on $1 million bail.
Cameron B. Dambrosio, 18, was arrested at 1:35 p.m. and charged with communicating a terrorist threat, a felony with a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, said Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon. The language was not directed at a specific person or target, officials said, but was a general threat of violence and terrorism.
"We have zero tolerance," he said. "We take these very seriously."
Police searched the student's home yesterday, finding a computer and Xbox that were turned over to the state police for analysis. Detectives are also going through his Facebook page for more evidence.
A clerk magistrate set bail Dambrosio's bail at $1 million. He was being held overnight at the Methuen Police Station and is set to be arraigned in Lawrence District Court today.
"We have contacted the FBI because of some of the language," Solomon said. "He made comments about the White House and the federal government. So, we have forwarded that the FBI."
In a press release yesterday, Methuen Superintendent Judith Scannell said the high school administration worked with the school resource officer and the Police Department after learning about the Facebook post.
"Methuen High School students reported to administration that they had received a Facebook phone message sent by a Methuen High School student with disturbing verbiage," she said. "The student made terrorist threats not directly towards the school but in general."
Dambrosio was not in school yesterday, Scannell and Solomon said.
Solomon said Dambrosio posted a number of "alarming" comments on Facebook that triggered the arrest.
"He's telling people to shut up and in order to get some props he'll have to go kill somebody. He says he'll go insane and make the news," Solomon said. "And he said people shouldn't cry when they see what he does because they have it coming."

Windward House Apple Walnut Pancakes
We're getting ready for our Leaf Peepers here at the Windward House. Sure it's a little early for ordinary folks to think about, but really it's just a few short weeks away. While there is still plenty of brilliant sunshine, lake swimming, and blooming flowers, here in Camden, soon the leaves will turn and it is the time of year when thoughts turn to the fall colors, warm sweaters, robin's egg blue skies, the smell of apples simmering in a magical concoction of rum, cinnamon, brown sugar and butter. If you your loved one, or kids are a little glum on a dark morning, or are excited about the unfolding beautiful fall day, Celebrate! With this great recipe. Kristi says it warms the cockles of your heart, and I agree. When you have a forkful, with melting butter and a little Maine maple syrup, you literally can feel the warmth spread inside you and when it reaches the cockles.
Goes awfully well with naturally raised pork maple sausages or naturally raised uncured hickory smoked bacon!
Pancake Recipe
So without further adieu – here it is, one of our Fall Foliage Pantacular recipes -
Windward House Apple Walnut Pancakes
Makes six quarter cup batter pancakes
2 McIntosh Apples
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar, Dark Rum, Walnuts, Butter
Dry pancake mix with four or five drops of fresh lemon juice (substitute for milk, half whole organic milk, and half powdered milk, the purpose is to leave the batter a little dry to accommodate the apple mixture)
Put apple stuff into a pan, apples, nuts, rum, sugar, butter and sprinkle with cinnamon – I use a non-stick pan, to keep the sugar from sticking.
Put a lid on, preferably a clear lid so you can observe what's going on inside the pan.
Cook at high heat until it all bubbles together and the apples are slightly soft, but not mush.
With the pancake mix prepared but very thick add a little bit of water, and then while very hot and bubbling add the apple mix. Mix thoroughly.
Using a scoop or quarter cup measure scoop out batter onto a preheated 325 degree griddle.
The smell of the sautéing apples and cinnamon will brighten your day, even if you feel too guilty to eat these pantacular pancakes!
1 cup Kates homemade butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg (cage-free, organic)
1 cup real Maine maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (sweetgrass farm vanilla)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.
2.In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg, syrup and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir into mixture until well blended. Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly.
3.Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Let cool on wire rack.

Wolf Blitzer Puts Hilary Rosen Through the Wringer, Forces Her to Apologize to Ann Romney
After saying Ann Romney had never worked a day in her life, Democratic activist Hilary Rosen was trying to spin her way out of the firestorm over her comments. CNN's Wolf Blitzer would have none of it on Thursday's The Situation Room as he reprimanded her, forced her to apologize, and asked her how it felt to be thrown "under the bus" by Democratic allies.
Blitzer grilled Rosen for upwards of ten minutes and ripped her "awful way of saying" what she intended to say about Romney. He then made her "look into the camera" and talk to Romney, and after she dodged an apology a deadly serious Blitzer called her out on it. [Video below the break. Audio here.]
"I didn't hear an apology," Blitzer told Rosen, who had just accused the Romney campaign of making the issue a "distraction" and "forcing [it] on the American people to avoid his record on the issues."
Blitzer also listed the various Democrats -- including Michelle Obama and Debbie Wasserman Schultz -- who had distanced themselves from Rosen's words or outright condemned them. "You're a lifelong Democrat. But the Democrats are quickly throwing you, as you well know, under the bus," he told Rosen. "How does that feel when all your fellow Democrats are going after you like that?"
At the end of the lengthy exchange, he even proposed a face-to-face conversation between Romney and Rosen. The Democratic activist coldly refused what she termed a "beer summit."
A transcript of the segment, which aired on April 22 at 4:08 p.m. EDT, is as follows:
WOLF BLITZER: How should you have phrased what you wanted to say, because this was an awful way of saying it. Because she's not only a hard-working woman, you know, raising five boys obviously is not easy –
HILARY ROSEN, Democratic activist and CNN contributor: That's what I've said.
BLITZER: – especially someone who has MS, who has breast cancer. This is a wonderful woman. And so how should you, if you could do a do-over –
ROSEN: If I had the do-over, what I would be saying is that Mitt Romney should not be on the campaign trail saying to women, my wife tells me how it is for mom – for women out there. Because people of wealth sometimes take for granted some of the niceties that they have in life. And the Romneys are people of wealth. She doesn't just – she's not just a one-mom –
BLITZER: Alright, so look into the camera. If Ann Romney is watching you right now, talk to her.
ROSEN: Well, I'd said a few things this afternoon. But I'll say it again. Mrs. Romney, I applaud your decision to stay home and raise what are obviously five wonderful boys. This is not about stay-at-home moms versus working moms. I think your husband needs to stand up for women's economic struggles, and so far we have not seen how he is going to do that on the campaign trail. This hasn't come out of his mouth, and maybe it will at some point. But this is a distraction that his campaign is forcing on the American people to avoid his record on the issues.
BLITZER: I didn't hear an apology.
ROSEN: Oh, well I sent out an apology this afternoon.
BLITZER: I didn't hear you say to her just now I ap –
ROSEN: I'm sorry, well I assumed that Mrs. Romney saw my apology this afternoon, but if not, I apologize. Working moms, stay-at-home moms, they're both extremely hard jobs. I know, I've shared them both. And I'm sorry if that offended you.
BLITZER: I want to put this clip – she was also – we heard a little bit of what she said on Fox earlier in the day. I'll play this little clip right now.
(Video Clip)
ANN ROMNEY, wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney: If I get a chance, I want to tell you what women are telling me. And Hilary needs to know this, because I've been on the campaign trail for one year, and guess what women are talking about – and I don't care if they're stay-at-home moms, or they're working mothers, or they're grandmothers – guess what they're all talking about? They're talking about jobs, and they're talking about the legacy of debt that we're leaving our children. That's what I'm hearing. And that's what I'm talking about here.
(End Video Clip)
BLITZER: She makes a fair point there.
ROSEN: She does make a fair point. I do think that's what women care about. And when Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, let's go back farther. When Mitt Romney ran Bain Capital, his record of hiring women was terrible. Fewer than ten percent of the senior executives at the company were women. There have been – and he actually went on the record and said well I just couldn't find qualified women to serve in these positions. No woman alive believes that.
BLITZER: Here's – here's what I don't understand. Because you're a excellent and very astute political strategist. I can – all those points you're making are fine. But why bring Ann Romney into this conversation? Why did you have to bring – you hated it when conservatives, right-wingers, used to go after Michelle Obama, or a spouse or a wife of any of these Democratic candidates. Why bring her into this conversation?
ROSEN: Wolf, I should not have chosen words that seemed to attack Ann Romney's choice in life. And I apologize for that. But Ann Romney and Mitt Romney brought themselves into this conversation. When he goes on the campaign trail and says she is his economic surrogate, when she goes out there and makes these points – I'm not bringing them into this. Come on, that's a little – that's a little too much.
BLITZER: You're a lifelong Democrat. But the Democrats are quickly throwing you, as you well know, under the bus. The First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, tweeting "Every mother works hard, and every woman deserves to be respected." Debbie Wasserman Schultz –
ROSEN: I couldn't agree more with the First Lady on that.
BLITZER: – the chair of the Democratic Party. "Disappointed in Hilary Rosen's comments. As a mother of 3, there's no doubt that raising children is work." And Vice President Joe Biden just gave an interview to MSNBC in which he said, and they've been tweeting it, "my response to that is that's an outrageous assertion." And you saw what David Axelrod and Jim Messina from the campaign, the Obama campaign. How does that feel when all your fellow Democrats are going after you like that?
BLITZER: Have any of these people, or others, in the White House or at the DNC or at the Obama campaign contacted you, spoken to you about any of this today?
ROSEN: I've had – I've had several supportive calls.
BLITZER: Supportive. But what are they saying?
ROSEN: Well, you know, people understand – people know me. They know that I wouldn't attack a stay-at-home mom, and that that's not what I think this debate is about. So I'm comfortable with that, and people who know me I think are comfortable with it too.
BLITZER: I mean it's politics, one thing for the Republicans to be slamming you, which obviously that's politics. But for all these Democrats who you've worked so closely with over the years to quickly –
BLITZER: I think someone – you'd probably be happy about this – could organize a little face-to-face time between you and Ann Romney to talk about this in person, that would probably be helpful, don't you think?
ROSEN: You know, we don't need a beer summit. She doesn't have to answer to me. Her husband is the one running for President.

Wolfe is just protecting obama by trying to get this behind them.
It's amazing how aggressive he is on this matter. He knows its a huge political negative for the dems, and especially after all the promotion of the (faux) Republicans war on women. Any person attacking motherhood is out of touch with real women.
But really, isn't Wolfe just a reporter? Is it his job to reprimand and force an apology from anyone? He doesn't seem like merely a disinterested observer here but an operative himself.

Demorats love to dish out their media firestorms over their ginned up issues. But they sure can't take it. They'll use the media to destroy lives with reckless abandon. But suddenly when they're the ones looking down the barrel, they start squealing like the stuck pigs that they are.
What's the matter, Ms. Rosen? Don't you like the medicine you're being forced to choke down? You ought to. It's YOUR brand.
If the media EVER started doing their d@#^ jobs and started treating Obama the way they treat Republicans, I guarantee Obama would quit politics, quit the Presidency and run screaming for shelter in the nearest closet he could find.
Remember in the 08 campaign when Huffington took a crack at his ears? Obama confronted her afterwards and commanded her to never make fun of him again. She sheepishly responded, 'We're just trying to toughen you up'. But in the end she put on her carpet covered kneepads and followed Obama's orders like the little media slave she always was.

Well, it's good Blitzer grilled Ms. Rosen some pointed questions but you have to take this with a grain of salt.
It's a little late in light of the countless assaults on numerous other conservative women and he's kicking someone that is safe to kick since the administration is distancing itself from her.
It helps immunize liberal women from even valid criticism because CNN, etc. can now say, "Hey, we went after the Democrats when THEY crossed the line against a woman."
It also, in true Alinsky fashion, isolates and targets this one person ... thereby helping to deflect the blame from the legion of other activists, politicians, and pundits guilty of the same and even worse behavior.
Again, it's good to see some hard reporting and tough questions, but isn't it a shame that one instance of fair reporting and commentary has to be held up as something deserving praise ... instead off something that should be expected on a daily basis.

Never said otherwise. In fact Michelle Obama's mother stayed home while her father worked. Michelle Obama was a practicing attorney after getting her JD.
Mrs. Romney "pitched in" at her father's company and the worked charities and held cooking classes when her husband was Governor.
Factually, she never HAD to work. Not a very common perspective for non-millionaires.
Michelle Obama speaks on children's health issues and military family needs. I suspect that has something to do with her husband being CIC. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.
They've both led respectable lives. One was a bit easier economically than the other.

Hilary's comments were so utterly foolish, mean-spirited (not to mention self and "cause"- defeating) that most Americans just can't shield their eyes and plug their ears from the injustice and stupidity of it all. This latest idiocy is a prime example of many, many things I hope are brought to light before November.
But it's a timing thing. The more the "lib meanies" can't control themselves (eeeeevil or desperation?) to do whatever it takes to scheme and twist to manipulate the vote...as long as there is just enough of a pause for Americans to get a chance to see/hear this junk and reflect...well, all the better come November, IMO.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The Illinois House and Senate voted Tuesday to override Governor Pat Quinn's amendatory veto on concealed carry.
Tuesday afternoon, the Illinois Senate voted 41 to 17 to override the governor's veto. Early in the day, the House also voted to override by a vote of 77 to 31.
A separate bill (HB 1453) which included three minor changes recommended by the governor, passed in the Senate but failed in the House.
The bill would have required people stopped by law enforcement to immediately declare they were possessing a concealed firearm.
It also have would not required signage in public places where firearms are prohibited, such as schools and government buildings.
Finally, the bill would have required reporting of people found to be mentally ill to the Illinois State Police.
In a press conference Tuesday afternoon, the governor voiced his frustration at the failure of that bill.
"Members of the Illinois House could not even manage to pass follow-up legislation that included a few of the critical changes that I outlined last week, such as improved mental health reporting and the duty to immediately inform law enforcement officers of the possession of a loaded concealed weapon," said Quinn. "Yet, despite my objections, members of the General Assembly surrendered to the National Rifle Association in the waning days of session and passed a flawed bill that allows people to carry guns in establishments that serve alcohol, and allows people to carry unlimited guns and unlimited high-capacity ammunition magazines."
Many lawmakers, however, expressed their anger towards the governor.
"Governor Quinn's veto was obviously ill-advised and he should have known that the General Assembly would override his actions. This is long overdue," LaHood said. "This legislative session would not have been necessary had Governor Quinn just accepted the will of the people instead of making his grand political announcement last week."
Quinn used his power of amendatory veto on July 2 to make multiple changes to the bill. He said he wanted to make sure that home-rule governments will be able to enact future laws on issues such as assault weapons.
As the bill is currently written, guns would be allowed in most private properties. Quinn's version would have required private properties to have to have signs outside their establishments saying they allow guns.
The Governor also said that as the bill is written, their are no limits on the amounts of guns and ammunition that can be carried. Quinn wanted to limit a person to carrying one fully concealed gun with no more than ten rounds of ammunition.

Ed Jackson joins London Wasps this season from London Welsh.
The 24-year-old English back row arrives at the Club having hugely impressed in the Aviva Premiership last season, after significantly contributing to the successful rise of London Welsh through the RFU Championship a year ago.
Jackson is powerful ball carrier who has made a huge impact at London Welsh, having previously represented Bath and Doncaster. His leadership skills were also recognised at international level where he captained England U18s and U16s and was part of the side that won the Four Nations in 2006.
Ed came through the youth ranks at Bath before graduating to the club's Academy, where he gained A League experience with Bath United.
He enjoyed loan spells at Cleve and Newbury, making 12 appearances and scoring three tries for the Blues during the 2009/10 National League One campaign.

The City of Evansville has filed a lawsuit against a Kansas City company in hopes of collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"They get a summons and say we better settle this up. We don't want to pay trouble damages, for example. We don't want to have to pay attorney fees," Ziemer said. "On the other hand, we don't know why they didn't answer the demand letters, so they may want to go to the mat on this. They've got up to, they can make it up to almost 90 days before they have to respond."
City officials say this was not the only over-payment made during the construction process, but it is the only one that hasn't been resolved.

"He's So Needy, It's Making Me Crazy"
Her Turn"I Want to Push Him Away"
"I feel as if I'm the male in this relationship and my husband is the female because I need my space and he needs a lot of attention and affection," says Marlene, 44, the mother of three sons from a previous marriage, only one of whom is still at home. "I'm a litigation attorney, so my days are pressure packed and followed by a long commute from Boston back to our small town. Roy is an art teacher at our local high school, so typically he gets home by 3 p.m. and spends the rest of the afternoon working on one of his paintings. To be fair, he usually makes dinner, but he leaves the kitchen in such a mess it drives me crazy. But what he really doesn't get is that I need to decompress when I get home. He starts babbling before I even get inside the door. And he follows me from room to room.
"Weekends are worse. He wants to do everything with me -- from grocery shopping to errands to my early-morning run. If I tell him I want to do these things alone, he looks hurt. The more he smothers me, the more I want to push him away.
"I feel as though I have another child. He's a very talented, creative guy, but I have to remind him of appointments. He never finishes projects, like mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters, and he's hopeless as a handyman. Anything that needs fixing, I fix. I pay the bills and drive us everywhere because he gets nervous behind the wheel.
"Then, if this weren't bad enough, he's having trouble performing sexually -- something that was not a problem when we were dating. I thought spicing things up might help, so I bought a video to give us ideas. That made him more nervous. He got a prescription for Viagra, but apparently it doesn't help if the man is not in the mood."

Enjoy both sides of Florida life in Venice - the picture-postcard beach vacation with gorgeous sunsets and a warm sense of genuine community in the charming nearby town. Guests of this charming home will enjoy private deeded beach access to Golden Beach, on the Gulf of Mexico just four short blocks away. Towards the charming town of Venice itself, walk just eight blocks to find coffee shops, seafood restaurants and great window shopping. Both Venice Beach and the famous Venice landmark Sharky's on the Pier are also within walking or biking distance. Enjoy ocean views while dining and take an after-dinner walk along the pier extending into the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the Harbor Drive house is just a five-minute drive to beautiful Casey Key and the white sands of Nokomis Beach. The house recently changed ownership and many renovations and upgrades have been completed.

Being so close to so many beaches and also to downtown Venice, it's easy to pack a lot into a day - totally ditching the car if you choose. Perhaps choose to rent bikes during your stay, safely stashing them in the home's laundry area when not in use. Past guests really love this house and its dream location.

Plans for houses on Draughton quarry site approved
8:00am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News
Outline plans to build two new houses on a former quarry in Draughton have been approved by Craven District Council.
The scheme, by the owners of Draughton House, was refused permission by the council last year because of concerns over the suitability of the site and the lack of supporting material.
But, at Monday's planning committee meeting, councillors were told that resubmitted plans for the site had included a report on the land quality assessment.
Principal planning officer Mark Moore reminded the committee that the only reason the earlier scheme had been rejected was because of the lack of supporting material.
Although in outline only, indications were that the two houses would be detached, four-bedroom properties with attached garages with one on a mound at the top of the former quarry, and the other at the bottom.
Applicant Nigel Hargreaves – who built his own house on the site in the 1980s – told the committee he had now produced a land quality assessment, but there was still a long way to go before the houses were built.

This is one of those stores that you would never think
has a fine craft beer selection and you would pass
it 100 times and not give it a second thought.
I'm glad I took a little drive and checked it out.
Very nice selection of 6 packs and bombers from
the East Coast and few gems Stone, etc. The
"good stuff" is located at the back left hand corner of
the store. (Dogfish Head, Great Divide, Founders,
Long Trail, Firestone Walker, Troegs, Yards, Oskar Blues,
Brooklyn, Sixpoint, Victory, Blue Point, etc.) They also
have a nice variety of imports from: Belgium, England,
Scotland, and Italy.
I would recommend this to other BAs and will
most assuredly putting this quaint shop into my
craft beer rotation. (MATT, the beer guy is a
great guy and will offer honest suggestions).

The wife was working nearby in Franklin Lakes and I mapped out beer stores in the area. Ramsey is only a couple of miles down the street, so let's go... unimpressive from the street/parking lot and even once you go inside, but keep exploring!
This place has a small but outrageously impressive selection, mostly in bombers: 2011 Human Blockhead, Hebrew RIPA on Rye and Funky Jewbelation, Brewdog Tokio, Avery Samael 2011, Hoppin Frog Barrel Aged Outta Kilter, Lost Abbey, Port Brewing, North Coast Old Stock Cellar Reserve 2009, Firestone Double DBA, Epic Big Bad Baptist... and more.
They also have a good amount of six-packs, both refrigerated and room temp, but you really should go for the bombers. There is some seriously vintage/rare stuff here!
Prices are very reasonable. For example, Double DBA is $13.99, which is at least ten dollars cheaper than in NYC. There is a helpful beer guy around if you have questions...

I wandered into to Ramsey Liquors just killing time, and was very pleasantly surprised. It is a large (not warehouse) community liquor store, and tucked in the back corner is a excellent selection of import and micro beers. There is also a great selection of glassware (although at 6'3" I can barely reach most of it). Last time I went I just came home with 2 beer glasses.
So they have a lot top offer when compared to the average store. Also their sorting of the beer makes more sense than most. One shelf has Belgium's (a huge selection) another British Isles, another Micro's etc. Seems like I can find what I am looking for faster.
So - not the biggest selection in NJ, but an excellent selection for a local store, and they carry beers I have not seen elsewhere.
Well Done!!

I love how in NJ you can buy beer at the liquor store....this place is great. Loaded with Wine, Liquor, and Beer. The beer section is a little tight space wise, it's at the back of the store. It's not really an issue, but when the store is crowded (holidays) it can put a strain on your browsing. But a minor problem if it is one. the quality of beers available covers a wide range, they have the usual BMC products, a cooler full of many different styles of beers. On the shelves they carry some good sour's (lambic, gueze, etc.) Cantillon, Boon, Etc... they have a very wide selection of the beers available. They also have several different magnum size bottle available (saw a gigantic double bastard for ~$90. didn't check the exact volume tho, but it was large) and every time i'm in there someone always asks me if i need help. The guy with the mustache seemed to know his stuff too. Good Store, Check it out if your driving through northern New Jersey. It's the Ramsey / Lake St. Exit off of hwy 17. stay on lake street until you cross the train tracks and it's in the shopping center on the right.

A retro-looking store on the outside with formidable selection on the inside. Tucked in the back corner are the shelves of numerous bottles of various breweries of the world, but mostly US and Europe. The selection is basically identical to DeCicco's Ardsley with a few standout bottles. The biggest plus for this place is definitely their price, with an average -$1-2/bottle, which is beautiful in the long run. But on the other hand, there were some bottles overpriced than what I've usually seen, like $12 for a 4-pk of 10/11 BBCS. Regardless, it's worth a visit; a great untold secret.

I work in the area but never ventured over to the little town of Ramsey. One of my colleagues is knows the area very well so we took an extended lunch break today to check out the beer selection at Ramsey Liqours.
I got to say I was both thrilled and relieved at both the quantity and quality of craft domestic beers and old world beers they stocked.
This area of Northern NJ is a veritible desert of quality beer retailing. In some ways that's good - I'm not compelled to go out beer hunting after work everyday.
While not the greatest selection in the Westchester County NY / Northern NJ area - I think that claim can be made by De Cico's in Ardsley NY - Ramsey Liquors did have a well managed and discerning selection of top quality German and Belgium beers as well as must-try domestic crafts like The Bruery (CA) and Saint Somewhere (FL).
Nothing too rare, but a lot of must-trys for the curious.

Having worked in Mahwah before, I was surprised to find a quality brew store so close by. A few exits down off of Route 17, Ramsey Liquors is located right off of Main Street.
Doesn't look like much on the outside, but thankfully we don't rate stores based on their looks. Inside is, as expected full to the brim of wines and spirits. Everything is neatly organized with helpful signs and tags. The whole place, while actually of a decent size, has a very homey feel to it.
The craft beer section is tucked away in the back corner of the store right next to the coolers. I was a little apprehensive at first because all I saw were a couple of shelves, but there's a small passageway to the back stock room that's lined with craft as well. A store employee asked me if I needed help finding something within 10 minutes of my arrival there and answered my questions about KBS (a winter release, darn!) and a few other beers. A friendly and personable customer experience.
The quality of the brews is quite good, with everything having reasonably fresh dates. The few beers that did have some age and dust on them were the big imperial stouts, and that is certainly not a problem at all. The selection is really where this store shines. Each shelf is labeled with the country of origin and there are several excellent examples of region beers on them. A lot of great Belgian stuff, including Boon, Achouffe, Cantillon. Tons of American breweries as well, including Rogue, Stone, Victory, DFH, Avery, Founders, North Coast and more.
The value is very, very good at this store, with many of the brews being priced lower than across the border in NY. I was on a budget, and it was very hard to leave with only a few bottles since the pricing there was extremely reasonable.
All in all, this is an excellent craft brew store with great value and a top notch selection of beer. I will definitely be revisiting this place.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The chief information officer of Target Corp. is resigning as the retail giant overhauls its information security and compliance operations amid investigations into a damaging network break-in late last year.
The resignation of Beth M. Jacob is immediate, the Minneapolis-based company said Wednesday, and Target is searching for an interim CIO to serve in what it described as a long-term, temporary position to guide it through the technology restructuring.
In a statement Wednesday, Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel described the search for an interim CIO as a "first step."
"While we are still in the process of an ongoing investigation, we recognize that the information security environment is evolving rapidly," Steinhafel said.
Steinhafel outlined other changes to Target's information security management. It has created the position of chief information security officer and is recruiting outside the company for that position. It has also started an external search for a chief compliance officer.
"We are also working with an external adviser, Promontory Financial Group, to help us evaluate our technology, structure, processes and talent as part of this transformation," Steinhafel said.
Target declined requests for interviews.
Promontory, headquartered in Washington, D.C., advises governments and companies, primarily financial institutions around the world, on complex risk and regulatory challenges. Bloomberg, for instance, hired Promontory to help it assess its client data issues following last year's revelation that Bloomberg reporters were monitoring how clients use their Bloomberg terminals. A company spokesman said Promontory doesn't discuss client matters.
The chief information security officer position is a new one for Target. Brenda Bjerke, Target's senior director, information protection who held some of the responsibilities of a chief information security officer, will remain with the company, a spokeswoman said. She said she couldn't say what Bjerke's role would be.
The company provided a copy of Jacob's resignation letter, dated March 5, in which Jacob wrote "this is a good time for a change."
"This is a difficult decision after 12 rewarding years with the company I love," Jacob wrote. "This is a time of significant transformation for the retail industry and for Target."
Jacob, who holds an MBA from the University of Minnesota, first joined the company in 1984 as a department store assistant buyer when it was known as Dayton's, then left and returned in 2002 to Target as director of guest contact centers. She was promoted to CIO and executive vice president of Target Technology Services in 2008, and reported to Steinhafel.
Jacob ran Target's technology infrastructure during a period of rapid change, including the relocation of some of its technology operations to India. Critics have noted that she has deep operations experience but lacked the information technology background that many see as increasingly important for a CIO at a major corporation.
Jacob's ouster was anticipated by many industry analysts, and welcomed.
"Target has not been keeping up in terms of keeping pace with the way they need to move forward with technology," said Amy Koo, a senior analyst at Kantar Retail in Boston. "There was not enough oversight, clearly, or enough controls."
The most public technology issues have been with Target's struggle to fortify its website, which at one time was run by Amazon.com. The company spent two years re-engineering the website only to have it crash in 2011 less than a month after its debut, during the launch of highly anticipated Missoni merchandise.
Brian Yarbrough, consumer analyst at Edward Jones & Co., said Target is making a statement that it needs to take its technology game "to the next level."
"I'm sure for somebody this will be a great role," Yarbrough said. "You can come in and look like a hero."

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – A man accused of raping a girl and killing the girl's baby, was arraigned on Monday.
Police say Herman Robinson, 38, of Schenectady sexually abused a young girl for more than six years. Officials say he impregnated the victim, and then killed the baby.
After an extensive investigation by police, the man is facing a number of charges, including murder. On Monday he pled not guilty to the charges
The District Attorney's Office says the alleged abuse began in 2006 when the victim was just 11. They say it happened inside Robinson's home on Pleasant Street and continued when he moved to Albany Street.
According to authorities, the victim became pregnant in 2009 and Robinson allegedly helped deliver the baby in March 2009. The investigation revealed that the victim was in school and was able to hide her pregnancy. Authorities say Robinson killed the baby and disposed the body after it was born.
Police say that back in December last year, police were called to the home for some sort of medical emergency, and Robinson was later arrested.
The District Attorney's Office said the victim was able to hide the pregnancy. A longtime family friend who was inside the courtroom on Monday said she had no idea this was going on. She calls it despicable and even went onto say she wanted to spit in his face.
"I don't believe nothing he has to say. I was shocked he pleads not guilty, but I guess that's how the process of criminal justice system works. But I thought maybe he would say guilty so he could put this to rest for her so she wouldn't have to be dragged her through this mess," said the friend.
Both the prosecution and defense had no comment after the proceeding. Robinson is due back in court on May 22nd and currently is behind bars with no bail.

There is a set back in the fight against breast cancer. More young women are getting advanced, deadly forms of cancer.
When Sue Ellen Jimenez of Cranston found a lump back in 2011, she admits she didn't take it very seriously. "You just think you have cystic breasts or the lump with just go away, " says Jimenez.
But after a year, that lump got bigger. At the age of just 31, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Sue Ellen didn't have a family history of it. "I never thought in a million years id be sitting here talking about this, " says Jimenez.
"I was diagnosed in 2009 at 33 years old." Neither did Mandy Zito of Exeter. She's been cancer free for four years, but continues to work at the Gloria Gemma Foundation in Pawtucket. She says she's noticed a huge difference of who's walking through the doors. "I've definitely seen a rise in younger women, " says Zito.
So many in fact, they put together a calendarhHighlighting the epidemic here in Rhode Island. Everyone under the age of 40. One of the youngest survivors just 22 years old. "You're not getting screening at this age, you are relying on self breast exams, " says Zito.
Researchers and doctors aren't exactly sure why so many younger women are being diagnosed, but Mandy has an idea. "Women are getting their periods younger and are having children later so they are getting a hormonal surge," adds Zito
Whatever the reason, Mandy and Sue Ellen both agree self breast exams save lives. They just hope more women take their lump seriously.

The ship is amazing. We have travelled on the Freedom when it was first launched so new what to expect from the ship.
I have no argument with the ship/staff/food/entertainment. My main quibble is with the on-board prices. I have travelled with RCI before and have never experienced such a hike in on-board pricing that in some areas can only demonstrate a total rip off of the passenger. At dinner they did try only once to get us to buy bottled water at $4.95/litre. We actually bought the same water at one of the stops for 45 cents.. Drinks prices were very expensive compared to previous trips and other cruise lines. ($6.95 per pint $6.25 per half!!). Just as well we do not drink that much.
The entertainment was very good and the cruise director and his helper were terrific.
I like the ships and would still probably go one one again... but my next cruise is with P&O.

Derek Jeter is on the disabled list with a minor calf strain. You may have heard about this. His run toward 3,000 hits was rudely interrupted by the injury, and he's currently working himself back into shape.
Wednesday's update: progress!
There is no timetable for Derek Jeter's return from a strained right calf, but the Yankees captain is making progress in his rehabilitation program.
Along with some power, Jeter showed progress in his baserunning. He picked up his speed from past days on sprints around the diamond. He ran seven from home plate to first, one from first to second base and two from first to third base.
Jeter took a few sessions in batting practice. He ran the bases with moderate intensity. He fielded a handful of grounders, and made a handful of throws. The running is the most important part, since Jeter hurt his leg and only started running on Monday. He's getting closer, and it shouldn't be long before he's back in the lineup.
When, specifically, will that be? I don't know, but soon. The Yankees begin a six-game road trip on July 1, and return home on July 7. While Jeter still has more rehabbing to do, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him join that road trip in progress.

Bonnie Turbyfield was driving her husband home from a routine knee surgery on April 19, 2010 when Emmett Lee Turbyfield, 56, stopped breathing. Although paramedics resuscitated him, Turbyfield had suffered irreversible brain damage and died two days later.
"I lost the love of my life," said a tearful Mrs. Turbyfield who pointed to her husband's death as one tragic reason why she believes Georgia nurses should be mandated to complete yearly training.
According to a lawsuit, Emmett Lee died of an overdose of a powerful painkiller administered by registered nurse, Lisa Jarvis. The suit lists Gennifer Wiley, MD, Lisa Jarvis, RN and the Northwest Georgia Orthopaedic Surgery Center as defendants.
According to records, Jarvis administered 2 mg of Dilaudid in the recovery room even though the physician had not prescribed it. According to the Turbyfields' attorney, Bill Parker, Wiley did not assess Emmett Lee Turbyfield before he was discharged by the nurse less than 30 minutes after the Dilaudid was given.
"This should never happen," said Parker who pointed out that medical staff should have monitored Emmett Lee Turbyfield for several hours because he had obstructive sleep apnea.
Parker said the drugs prevented Emmett Lee Turbyfield from waking up when he stopped breathing in his sleep.
"The nurses at this particular surgery center were not being educated; not being trained; not required to," said Parker.
He pointed out that Georgia is one of 17 states that does not require licensed nurses to complete continuing education courses.
"I can't think of the word - of the disgust I feel when I think about that," said Marcus Turbyfield, Emmett Lee's son.
The younger Turbyfield said he has to complete more than a dozen hours of continuing education each year to maintain his pest control license.
A CBS Atlanta investigation finds most licensed professionals in Georgia are required to complete continuing education courses. Nursing is one of two allied-health fields that does not.
State Sen. Buddy Carter, Savannah, introduced a bill last legislative session that would create a continuing education mandate for the nursing field. It failed.
"I think patients are at risk any time a health care professional, whether it be a nurse or whoever, isn't keeping up with the changes in medicine," said Carter who plans to reintroduce the legislation in 2013.
According to the Georgia Nurses Association CEO Debbie Hackman, many healthcare companies require their staff to complete continuing education even though it isn't mandated by the state.
"We want all nurses to put patient safety first, and continuing their education and continue their competency through lifelong learning is a good thing," said Hackman.
But CBS Atlanta News learned the Northwest Georgia Orthopaedic Surgery Center did not require its staff to keep its skills sharp through continued training.
When asked in a deposition, if the center cares if nurses keep up with current medical trends and standards, Surgery Center Administrator Jean Calhoun responded, "It is not mandated."
"We don't train nurses. We hire nurses with experience," said Calhoun in the deposition.
Two months after Turbyfield's death, a state inspection found the Northwest Georgia Orthopaedic Surgery Center had a number of deficiencies including improper handling of medications. According to state records, those deficiencies have been corrected.
Calhoun declined to be interviewed by CBS Atlanta News.
In a statement to CBS Atlanta News, Calhoun said:
"To follow up from your call, the mission of Northwest Georgia is to provide first-class surgical services for our community in a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment; one in which we would be happy to treat our own families. There is no higher priority than the care of our patients and we are proud of our record of service. Our thoughts go out to the family. However, but (sic) due to the pending mediation, we cannot comment further at this time."
