Ailing Kingfisher Airlines on Thursday extended its partial lockout till October 12 as talks between its management and employees failed to end the deadlock over non-payment of salaries for last seven months.
The situation was further marred with the wife of one of its Delhi-based employees allegedly committing suicide, blaming financial stress due to non-payment of salary to her husband for five months.
The airline also announced in the National Stock Exchange that its Company Secretary, Bharath Raghavan, has quit the company.
The striking pilots are now planning to move the labour court against the airline for failing to pay their backlog.
Kingfisher Airline CEO Sanjay Agarwal and Executive Vice President Hitesh Patel met Delhi-based staff, including engineers and pilots, to convince them to rejoin duty.
Sources said the management offered the March salary to the employees and promised to pay the remaining six months salary once the airline is recapitalised. This offer was rejected by the employees for the second time in two days.
Kingfisher stocks tumbled by about five per cent, falling for the fourth straight day. The script tanked 4.79 per cent to hit the lower circuit limit of Rs.13.90 on the BSE.
The airline notified the National Stock Exchange saying Bharath Raghavan "has resigned as the Company Secretary of the Company with effect from the close of business on September 30, 2012. Consequently, he has ceased to be the designated Compliance Officer of the Company with effect from that date."
Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh also expressed doubts whether the carrier, facing a partial lockout, will resume its operations soon.
He further maintained that the airline should be in a position to get its planes certified and satisfy the DGCA that the schedule which they have given is maintained.
Concerned over the worsening crisis, Kingfisher's lenders held an emergency meeting in Mumbai to discuss the evolving situation.

Hopes of ailing Kingfisher Airlines resuming operations on Friday faded
with last ditch efforts by the management to persuade striking engineers
and pilots to return to work failing to end the deadlock over the issue
of non-payment of salaries for last seven months.

Greening Your Beauty Routine
April 15, 2010 at 4:36 pm , by Mandy Hendrix
My beauty routine could use a little green overhaul. So, in honor of Earth Day next week (April 22nd) I decided to clean up my act. Here are my top picks for a green makeover.
I'm surprisingly picky about hand soap (I've found natural formulas can be awkwardly sudsy or non-lathering) but I love this just-right formula from Pure & Natural Liquid Hand Soap, $4.50. The rosemary and mint scent is great, too.
Lately I've become a face mist junkie. It adds moisture into my eternally dry skin and makes my thick moisturizers spread like butter. Kiehl's Acai Damage Protecting Toning Mist, $27, also adds antioxidant protection. Bonus points for it's Cradle to Cradle certification, meaning that it's made with the least amount of waste from start to finish.
The transitional weather of spring really does a number on my lips and I'm forever bouncing between a lip balm and lip scrub. Because I end up nearly eating the granules, I wanted to find something ingestible. Lush's Buble Gum Lip Scrub, $9, is vegan!
I love the way a bath pouf really makes a soap nice and bubbly, but am forever replacing them. EcoTools EcoPouf, $2, uses recycled plastic and is cheap enough to toss (into the recycling bin) when it gets grimy.
Aveda's Light The Way candle, $12, is my new favorite house accessory. I not only get to enjoy the French-y lavender and clary sage scent (all organic) but once it's done, I can use the glass vessel to drink from. These reclaimed holders started as a wine cooler bottles. So cool!

Mineral Makeup Madness: Fulfilling Your Recommended Daily Allowance
January 14, 2010 at 3:37 pm , by Mandy Hendrix
Mineral makeup may have started as a trend, but has proven its staying power. Why? It won't aggravate sensitive or problem skin and has a built-in sun protection factor. I was recently on a shoot with Ricky Wilson, a Dior makeup artist, who loves the stuff because, "it offers a good amount of coverage while letting the skin glow." Sounds amazing, right? And you won't have to look too hard to find it either; you can easily pick up mineral-laced products not only at natural grocers and beauty boutiques, but in the drugstore aisle, too.
Here are my favorite skin-loving minerals:
Foundation: This is the grandaddy of all mineral categories. Options abound, so feel free to experiment with different textures and application methods to find your perfect match.
- The vibrating puff of Lancome's Oscillation Powerfoundation, $48, makes application fun, but also helps the powder sink into skin.
- Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Matte SPF 15 Foundation, $28, won't leave you with a shiny finish.
- Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Foundation, $8.50, is a great liquid option.
Mascara: Minerals are a good choice for sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers. (Myself included.)
- Kiehl's Marvelous Mineral Mascara, $16.50, is also free of fragrance and parabens.
Blush: A soft dusting of mineral blush (or bronzer) is a quick way to pull your look together.
- CoverGirl TruBlend Microminerals Blush, $11, includes a mini kabuki brush (the oh-so-popular mineral makeup brush) in a spill-proof bottle.
Lipgloss: This can be a tricky category to find, but considering how often we lick our lips, you might think it wise to try a more natural choice.
- The 12 shades of Revlon's Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze, $9, look amazing and will last you from morning 'til your first sip of coffee at least until noon.
Setting Powder: If you don't "wear powder" but want a shine-free face, look for this ultra-lightweight finisher to top off your look.
- Youngblood Pressed Mineral Rice Powder, $30, is one of my personal favorites, especially in the summer when I tend to get a bit oilier. I dust it on with a fan brush and don't worry about looking greasy.

A FORMER UNE student has won a $4.6 million payout after he was rendered quadriplegic while attempting a backwards somersault at a New England amusement park.
Benjamin Alan Ackland – who is now a national wheelchair rugby player – was a 21-year-old law student at the University of New England in Armidale in 2009. On October 10, Mr Ackland and a number of other Austin College residents went on a mystery bus tour to Green Valley Farm, near Tingha.
The farm ran an amusement park, with attractions including a device known as a "jumping pillow", comprising a large inflatable pillow, about 20m in length and 10m wide, allow visitors to the park to jump up and down on it, like a trampoline.
Mr Ackland attempted a number of back somersaults on the pillow after seeing several visitors perform the feat.
He landed awkwardly on his side and belly on the first attempt.
Upon advice from others he attempted the manoeuvre a second time, landing on his head and causing a serious neck injury resulting in quadriplegia.
Mr Ackland launched civil action against the park, claiming it was negligent on eight grounds, including failing to provide proper instruction on the safe use of the jumping pillow, failing to provide proper supervision, and failing to prohibit backflips or other inverted manoeuvres on the jumping pillow.
But the defendants argued they discharged a duty of care by telling the group to stay off the equipment.
They also said Mr Ackland suffered the injury as a result of his participation in a dangerous recreational activity.
Justice John Burns, in a judgment handed down in the ACT Supreme Court yesterday, found in Mr Ackland's favour and awarded him $4.626 million to cover the loss of future earnings, past and future medical expenses, housing and other care costs. The judge found the park had been negligent by failing to prohibit inverted manoeuvres on the jumping pillow and not providing signage advising of the ban, and should have told him to stop attempting the trick.
"I am satisfied that the defendants were negligent, and that this negligence caused the injury sustained by the plaintiff," Justice Burns wrote.
"I am not satisfied that the defendants have established that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence.
"On balance, I'm not persuaded that it would have been obvious to a reasonable person that there was a risk of serious injury in attempting to perform a back somersault on the jumping pillow.
"The perception of risk of minor harm is not the equivalent of the perception of risk of a serious neck injury."
Outside court, Mr Ackland, now 26, who was represented by Maurice Blackburn, said the decision was an "enormous step" in supporting his independence now and in the future.
Twist of fate - court awards former UNE student $4.6m after amusement park tragedy

Local McDonald's franchisee Andrew Cheung continues to face criticism, both in the midstate and nationally.
This comes after his alleged treatment of exchange students who worked at his three area McDonald's restaurants.
It was just two weeks ago that several people involved in the U.S. Department of State's J-1 Visa Visitor Exchange Program protested outside a Cumberland County McDonald's.
The students worked at Cheung's restaurants and lived on his property. They said the conditions at both locations were very harsh.
"There's a lot of labor violations here," said Kathy Jellison, president of the SEIU. Local 668. "No overtime paid, they're working them double shifts, not enough hours between shifts."
And they said six to eight men and women were squeezed into bunk beds in basements.
It is reminiscent of the situation in Hershey in August 2011, when hundreds of student exchange workers protested against the Exel company, which ran a Hershey-owned factory. Student-exchange workers there they said they were treated like slaves.
The movement eventually prompted the State Department to push for major changes in the J-1 program. The new rules limit the hours and jobs participants in the program can work.
"It's a shame that this happened again after what happened in Hershey," said Pierre MaCoy of Harrisburg, who advised the students on what to do about their conditions.
"Hopefully, there aren't other businesses that are the using the J-1 as a source of cheap labor," MaCoy said.
"Now, I don't see a problem with J-1 students working at McDonald's or any place like that," said Jellison. "But they have to be treated like human beings."
Andrew Cheung has declined comment in the past. We called one of his stores on Tuesday. A worker said they would ask him to call us. We never received a return call.
Cheung has resigned from the board of the local Ronald McDonald House charity.

C.J. Spiller is one of college football's dynamic stars. 2009 was his breakout year rushing for over 1200 and it has done wonders in raising his draft status. Spiller makes fools of defenders who try to tackle him. Jahvid Best on the other hand, is a speedy running back who can still make yards after contact. He had his breakout year in 2008 rushing for 1500 yards. He was on pace this year to put up the same numbers until a concussion ended his season early. Still, he is an extremely elusive back with a lot of potential . With the rise of Jamaal Charles and Chris Johnson it make me curious to see which running back redskins fans would rather have.
I would like to see the redskins trade back in the draft and select a tackle and either C.J. Spiller or Jahvid Best. Though, if I had to choose I would want Jahvid Best. I would want Best because I think it would be easier to address our offensive line needs and acquire him than it would if we were to acquire spiller. Though, I will concede that Spiller looks like the more polished overall player. If Shanahan chooses to get either of these two running backs the upcoming draft, I would support that decision.
Note: Spiller is likely to be a top ten pick, while Best is projected to be a top 25 pick.

The International Monetary Fund's plan to issue bonds for the first time has attracted several large emerging countries looking to diversify investments to the detriment of the dollar, whose luster is dimming under the mushrooming US budget deficit.
After the Group of 20 (G20) major developed and emerging market countries pledged in April to boost the IMF's resources by 500 billion dollars, each country must determine just how to deliver.
To help gather such a colossal sum, the 185-nation IMF has decided to take the unprecedented step of issuing bonds.
"IMF staff will present the necessary documentation to the fund's executive board to allow the issuance of notes as early as possible," Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the IMF, said Wednesday.
Three countries lined up for the notes in the space of two weeks: Russia, China, then Brazil.
Both Russia and Brazil are in the market for 10 billion dollars' worth, while China is aiming for 50 billion dollars.
Other G20 members could follow, such as India or Saudi Arabia.
The new bonds will be offered in the IMF accounting unit, Special Drawing Right (SDR), whose value is based on a basket of currencies, rebalanced daily, in which the dollar represents only a 41 percent share.
It is the dollar's relative weakness in SDRs that has raised market concerns that some countries are seeking to distance themselves from the greenback, the world's reserve currency.
Those concerns materialized in a spike in bond interest rates when, on Wednesday, the Russian central bank clearly said it wanted to sell US Treasury bonds to buy IMF bonds.
In an extreme scenario, "if countries use this issuance as a way to diversify reserve holdings out of dollars, these sales will prompt liquidation of Treasuries or other dollar-denominated securities held by central banks," said Carl Weinberg of High Frequency Economics.
But for Weinberg, the market "is overestimating the importance of this," given the small volume that IMF bonds would represent in the face of dozens of billions of dollars the United States borrows each day.
Ted Truman, an expert on the IMF who advised the US Treasury Department before the G20 summit in London on April 2, also downplayed the impact of the IMF bonds.
"These will not be bonds that will be traded in the market. They are the type of instrument that countries will receive in connection with their short-term lending to the IMF ... I see no symbol in connection with reserve diversification," he said in an email to AFP.
Rather, the economist said, demand for the multilateral institution's bonds was an "indication of the relative external strength of these countries at a time of global economic crisis when in previous global crises their economies would have been severely affected."
Eleven years ago Russia, for example, defaulted on sovereign loan obligations amid a financial crisis.
For some, the announcements by Russia, China and Brazil are troubling rumbles for the United States.
"It is a clear sign that these countries are not comfortable with their large dollar holdings and should be read by the US as an additional signal of market unease about their large budget deficit," said Desmond Lachman of the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank.
The United States, meanwhile, has not yet contributed the 108 billion dollars it pledged to the IMF. The funding is tied to legislation in Congress which is still being debated.

Since there is still drivel appearing as "news" in the media, and since we've had music diaries recently, I thought I'd post this diary because I am listening to the album right now.
What do you think of Neon Bible? The reviews did not hate it, but they sounded disappointed. Rolling Stone "only" gave it 3.5 stars, but I think it's a 4 star record. Of course, I'm also a person who doesn't have a problem when big name producers start appearing on indie records. I also won't stop listening to them when they get signed to a major label next time around.
I really like this record, and I think it is going to be one of those that represents a time period in your life - for me, summer 2007.
What a great year for music. All of my favorite bands except U2, who are in the studio but who are notorious for taking forever to finish an album, are putting out new albums this year (including the Pumpkins. I hope it doesn't suck like Zwan).

Ever wonder what happened to those pearly whites you used to have a few years (or decades) back? Foods such as coffee, tea, and red wine can stain your teeth over time, as can the smoke from tobacco products. Rigorous tooth brushing and a great oral hygiene routine will keep you teeth healthy, but they can't fight the dimming effects of repeated exposure to staining elements. Even over the counter bleaching systems can only do so much. To really turn back the clock, you'll need to go to a certified Dallas cosmetic dentist.
Professional Tooth Whitening
Using an over the counter whitening system is like trying to get a spaghetti stain out of a white tablecloth using nothing but a whitening laundry detergent when what you really need to do is give it a nice long soak in fabric bleach. Professional tooth whitening can take those tough surface stains off your teeth in just a few sessions- but what if you don't have the time for a prolonged treatment? Dallas cosmetic dentist Dr. Mark Sowell knows how full your schedule can be, so he offers his patients a one hour professional tooth whitening treatment. In just one hour, start to finish, you can literally turn up the wattage on your smile with an innovative new treatment known as the Zoom Advanced Power whitening solution. With Zoom, you can see you teeth brighten by up to eight full shades in just one hours time. How is that for time well spent?
Does Zoom Work For Everybody?
The Zoom Advanced Power whitening solution does work for everybody with superficial tooth staining on natural teeth, but no whitening treatment can change the color of articial dental structure such as crowns, bridges, and fillings- and discoloration due to tooth trauma, damage, or aging also requires a different solution. For patients with these issues, porcelain veneers may be just what the doctor ordered. These custom colored, super fine porcelain shells actually cover your teeth with a brand new surface that looks and feels incredibly like your original tooth enamel. To find out which solution is best for you, get a consultation on tooth whitening with a Dallas cosmetic dentist.

Among some teams closet full of alternates are throwbacks that we just can't wear for obvious reasons. However, it seems that some teams get excited debuting their alternates, not to mention, it gives fans a new look. My opinion is along with the great new line of colts black (and blue/white) gear, should come a super awesome new black jersey, that would be intimidating, new, exciting, and totally awesome. I mean, as nice as our jerseys are (plain, simple, blue) mixing it up a little bit couldn't hurt, and what better time than next year and a new decade. Our alternatives in madden next year should be boss black baby. Thoughts? Also, I almost got puked on by a ravens fan at M&T sunday, I would have kicked his a**!!!

Man horrified after finding slug in Burger King meal at Darlington (From The Northern Echo)

Man horrified after finding slug in Burger King meal bought in Darlington
Updated 10:25am Saturday 20th July 2013 in News By Joanna Morris
Narinder Kaur, whose husband found an unidentified object in her Burger King meal that she bought from the chain in Darlington.
A MAN half-way through tucking into his favourite fast food burger was appalled to find a slug lurking inside it.
The extra ingredient was not appreciated by Thornaby man Manminber Singh, who had bought a meal from Burger King on a trip to Darlington with his wife earlier today (Friday, July 19).
Mr Singh, 37, was horrified to see the creature – believed to be a slug – crawling over a piece of lettuce in his Chicken Tendercrisp burger.
He said: "I was really shocked as I really love this burger and never had anything like this happen before.
"The staff did not seem bothered and the manager just wanted to give me my money back.
"She said it was a problem with the chiller but I think it is because the place is not properly clean.
"I want health and safety people to come and lock them down.
"This might have affected my health as I have problems with my stomach and this could put me in more danger."
The burger was purchased from the Burger King restaurant in the Cornmill Centre, Darlington, which continued to serve food following the incident.
A spokeswoman from Darlington Borough Council, said: "Our Environmental Health Officers visited the outlet and have begun preliminary investigations on their food management procedures.
"From this initial visit it would appear that the slug has come in on prewashed lettuce which was then overlooked in the processing of the food order.
"There is no apparent evidence of an insect infestation. Our officers will be meeting with senior managers from the outlet early next week to discuss procedures more thoroughly."
Tonight, a spokeswoman for Burger King UK Ltd said: "Burger King UK Ltd has been made aware of the guest's experience at Darlington Cornmill Centre restaurant.
"As a global brand, we aim to provide the highest levels of food quality and service in all restaurants so that our customers have a great experience with us every time.
"We are taking this situation very seriously and are conducting a full investigation. We greatly value customer feedback to ensure we get our service, restaurants and products right every time".

A few years ago I found a part of a chicken's foot, including the claw, in a sandwich bought from a well known shop in Darlington. Because we were reasonable about it and understood that occasionally these things can happen, and probably more importantly, didn't go running to the press, we were given £100, which we were happy with. The manageress was really good about it and even drove 20 miles to bring us a large bouquet of flowers as an extra apology.
I don't really think this sort of thing is newsworthy other than in a "It'll increase our chances of compo" kind of way.

I recommend you never go to the kfc in North Rd the last time i ate there was a year ago i ordered my food and this man came from behind the kitchen area and handed the food to the cashier i feel sick to this day of the state of him. He looked like a tramp he had mattered hair horrible black teeth his clothes were filthy and his trousers were being kept up by a safety pin!!!!! ughhh i cant look at that place now without feeling sick. These big company's are happy to take our money but start training the BASIC hygiene to your staff...

Wish I had sued.......do not like the idea but good customer service is on the decrease and hitting the company is the only thing that may change their habits.
Cromwell1599 aka Burger King publicist ?
And to nanarobbo, though I agree that is how it should be...it isn't, two points
1. This may have been a one off accident but your experience seems less likely to be.
2. If the Burger King you went to was the same one.....they did not learn maybe you should have kicked up a stink for future victims...soz customers.

As the temperature reached 648 degrees I was compelled to quench my thirst before I collapsed of chronic dehydration, and so crawled off to the nearest oasis over the rolling, barren dunes of Darlingtons Pedestrian Heart.
As I entered the aforementioned life saver and tried to order a thimbleful of ambrosia, I was confronted with not one, but SEVENTEEN unemployed, single mothers, all with septuplets in tow, buying up the last of the refreshing beverages with benefits money, single handedly paid for by my taxes.
I remonstrated with the ruffians and politely but assertively stated that as a hard working taxpayer I should be automatically elevated to the queue-head, without question. Surprisingly I was hit with a volley of abuse, and then murdered a number of times, the gang using a six foot slug as a cosh. Apparently the brutal weapon was obtained from within a Battered McSlurry bought around the corner at Burger King.
My question is this though, could they claim for having their tasty meal ruined by this contamination? I think they deserve compo.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
The main objective of a cardio (short for cardiovascular) video or DVD is to raise your heart rate for at least 20 minutes. Modern DVDs are a big departure from the jumping jacks and running in place you might remember from the '80s. Most of today's highest-rated workout videos are a combination of cardio moves to raise the heart rate and strength training to help tone muscle. The emphasis is on working the large muscle groups -- such as those found in the butt, legs, chest and back -- to elevate heart rate, while minimizing high-impact moves that can lead to knee strain or injury.
While there are some popular cardio-based routines that are still popular, one newer DVD that has received excellent feedback of late is Amy Dixon Breathless Body: The Ultimate Calorie Burn (*Est. $20). The workout is a true Tabata-style interval training routine -- which reviewers say is ideal for those looking for an effective cardio workout. Throughout the routine, Dixon leads you through drills that increase the heart rate. You'll perform each move as quickly as you can for 30 seconds before taking a 10-second rest -- and repeat that pattern for a grueling two minutes. The video was a top pick by the credible Fitness magazine in their roundup of the best fitness DVDs of 2012 and is our Best Reviewed Cardio Exercise Video.
While workout series like P90X: Tony Horton's 90-Day Extreme Home Fitness Workout DVD Program (*Est. $150) or Physique 57 (*Est. $60) contain cardio elements, they are focused more on strength training. Those seeking cardio DVDs and not whole workout series tend to want a more time-saving approach with a quicker turnaround. Plus the high price of such DVDs is a turnoff as well. This is the same reason Amy Dixon: Breathless Body beats out Insanity (*Est. $20), which is a cardio-based workout series. Breathless Body simply presents the best value.
Users also like the exciting energy and supportive attitude of Amy Dixon. Another very popular trainer is Jillian Michaels. Users enjoy her tough-love style and say her instruction is spot-on. Reviewers think Jillian Michaels: Ripped in 30 (*Est. $15) is an effective program for losing weight and toning muscle. However, the short, circuit-based routines in Ripped in 30 are too advanced for the average beginner.
While they are arguably more fun, many users agree, dance-inspired DVDs, such as Bollywood Booty (*Est. $15), do not produce the same calorie burn as cardio-specific exercise videos.

It's always fun when a frisson of excitement is introduced into local politics: and that's what happened on Friday evening when the DUP selected Diane Dodds as 'a candidate' for the Euro election and confirmed that their officers were still considering the possibility of running a second candidate.
It's not just that they're weighing up the options and calculating the risks involved—which is the right thing to do given the strength of their lead over the UUP—it's also the sheer sense of enjoyment they'll be taking from "messing with Mike's head."
Irrespective of whether the DUP runs a second candidate we know already that it's going to be a very crowded pro-Union field.
The DUP, UUP, UKIP, PUP, NI21, Conservatives and Jamie Bryson have already confirmed they'll be standing. The TUV will either have to stand or endorse one of the others: choosing not to stand would leave them vulnerable to charges of cowardice from the DUP, while endorsing someone else—however they dressed it up—would also give the impression that they were afraid of a contest.
At the moment it looks like at least seven shades of unionism will be on the ballot paper next May, the highest number since the first Euro election in 1979, when the DUP, UUP, UPNI (Brian Faulkner's party) and independent unionist Jim Kilfedder ran.
The UUP put up two candidates (their leader, Harry West and John Taylor), but underestimated the personal appeal of Ian Paisley and made an absolute dog's dinner of their vote management campaign. The result led to Harry West's resignation a few weeks later, to be replaced by Jim Molyneaux.
The UUP will be unsettled by all of this. They cannot afford—politically, electorally or financially—to lose the seat: put bluntly, going into the next general or Assembly elections without a sitting MP or MEP would, almost certainly, be a wrecking ball contest for them. They need their MEP. They need to hold that seat.
All of which may make them pretty 'flexible' if the DUP approached them with some sort of election pact deal in the next couple of months. The latest opinion polls (which followed their supposed U-turn on the Maze) have the DUP comfortably ahead of the UUP, while the UUP is not comfortably ahead of Alliance. Also, the same polls suggest that NI21 has made some sort of impact (it's edging towards five per cent, just under half of the UUP's 11 per cent) and could chip away at the liberal/pluralist end of the UUP's core vote.
Which raises a question: is it in the DUP's interests to further damage—maybe even kill off—the UUP? Let's face it, Nesbitt has played fast and loose with the DUP since the Unionist Forum was created last January and, as a very senior DUP figure told me a few days ago, "it's very difficult to know where Mike is going to position himself on anything, since he seems to want the best of both worlds, kicking us one minute, then sucking up to us the next."
Actually, that's understandable, since Nesbitt has two very distinct audiences to address: the 'traditional' wing of the party (which is clearly in the ascendant at the moment) and the 'liberals,' who will have an NI21 option next time around.
More annoyingly for the DUP, he's also played footsie with TUV/UKIP/PUP and the Orange Order.
That said, the DUP is also aware there are unionist seats that it cannot pick up and which would also be difficult for PUP/UKIP/TUV/NI21 to win. The danger, therefore—a danger which it wants to avoid—is of those seats drifting into the clutches of either Alliance or republicanism/nationalism. Unionism has a bare overall majority of just four in the Assembly and the psychological damage of losing that majority would be enormous. So it may suit the DUP to shore up the UUP: albeit for now and at a price.
The other big test at the Euro election will be for NI21. They need to do well and prove that they are more than just a diversionary blip. Again, that's a huge challenge for them. McCrea and McCallister were good media copy when they were thorns in Nesbitt's flesh, but not quite so interesting as the leading figures in a new and still very minor political party. They need to comfortably clear the five per cent barrier, something that only Jim Kilfedder (1979) and Jim Allister (2009) have done outside mainstream unionism.
It's very unlikely that UKIP, PUP, the Conservatives or Jamie Bryson will do much in terms of electoral impact: they are all fringe interests and probably standing just to maximize their chances at the council elections on the same day. But it does mean a further fracturing of the unionist/pro-Union vote. Does that matter? Or, putting it another way, is there any danger of unionists losing the second seat?
In 2009 the unionists held both seats with 49 per cent to the SDLP/SF's 42 per cent: so maybe a splintering accompanied by a shift could push the seat to the SDLP.
That's a very big maybe and would require a 'perfect storm' scenario in which unionists didn't transfer in their usually huge numbers to each other and Sinn Fein went in sufficient numbers to the SDLP. Not impossible, I suppose, but unlikely this time.
And now, the question you really want me to answer: should the DUP run a second candidate?
Well, in an already crowded field, with the UUP challenged from a number of quarters, the DUP has nothing to lose. So yes, I would say 'go for it.' But will they? My hunch—which is all it is—is that they won't. They may have no love for Nesbitt, but they would prefer the UUP to the unionist alternatives, or to the prospect of a unionist minority in the Assembly in 2016!

I have seen so many rumours my head spins. Most seem to suggest that the Xbox is some way behind the PS4. Apparently the RAM in the Sony one is quicker. I also read that they would both have 100GB bluray inside.
Sadly, I think MS will have the weaker machine in some respects.Own a Lumia 920 - in UK

Quite possibly. I'll be honest, there are a multitude of opinions on the internet of which is more powerful. The xbox 360 has a RAM advantage (cheers for that Epic), the PS3 has some crazy cell processor fun going off. If I'm honest I can only go on what I am told regarding which is best. It would have been nice to have the edge on all fronts though in the new generation.
I have seen some specs mentioned for the next one that sound superb, and sound stronger.Own a Lumia 920 - in UK

I just mentioned this on the front page post, but honestly, I think it's wishful thinking, and the main reason is the listing for 8GB of RAM, which is overkill for a console (unless the dashboard's memory footprint is going to increase drastically).

I skipped out on the PS3 this gen, can't say I regret my decision. However, I'm pretty interested to see what Sony brings next gen. However, the next Xbox is a given. Can't miss out on that. The specs look amazing, though I doubt we'll get a console with 8GB of RAM. You'd think with lower RAM prices that systems would come stuffed with the stuff, however, I fear console makers aren't ready to make that leap yet.Please read our Community Rules & Guidelines

The upper hand in consoles will always go to the 1 with a head start, that, or it has to really outsell the other. The PS3 has specs well above the 360, any game specifically made for the PS3 is absolutely gorgeous. The problem with the PS3 is that the 360 came out a year before it and already had a following and core gamers. Game devs made the decision that pretty much all games would be made for the 360 and ported to PS3, there are very few games that go the other way. This means that most cross platform games are optimized for the 360 and when they port theyre rarely as good looking on the PS3. I think this time around, if they both come out at the same time, if the PS3 is more powerful, it will get the nod and devs will start making games more suited for the PS3 hardware.
I have both a 360 and a PS3 and the only reason i have a 360 is for a couple exclusives, and for some of the arcade hits that arent on PS3. PS3 has free online gaming, and much better exclusives. Ill take a slight hit in graphics for that bonus.

When it comes down to it, if the PS4 or the 720 has better specs, who cares ? It's all about the games. Just because the PS3 has better specs on paper the games are better and most converstions (games for both systems) look better on the 360 and xbox live is a far better online system than PSN. Dont give the free multi play thing, when it comes down to it, XBL is way better than PSN and worth paying for.
The big things I hope for the 720 or what ever it's called is 4K res suppport (yea TVs are all $10K plus now but, in 3-5 years, in it's life span, it will be the standard) and hardware support for xbox 360 titles, so it can run every past game and not be stuck in a emulation and your waiting for support for a older title that never comes (meaning I need to have my 360 and 720 connect to play games)
I don't think 4k will be supported, not a chance. Although I would be happy if they did. As for the hardware support for 360 games, I imagine that would be popular, but not a deal breaker for me. I am likely to keep my 360 and pass it on to my kids. Should keep them off my new box.Own a Lumia 920 - in UK

That, and I simply do not want to own two consoles. I'll MAYBE get another PlayStation when Kingdom Hearts 3 is released, but that's really the only game that can rope me in.

I think some games (maybe the arcade games) should be able to start it on my Xbox and then if I leave, by using smartglass I could continue the game on my phone and vice versa. That would help out both communities.

Looks like I have to eat a whole lot of crow on this. I was pretty adamant that the specs were ridiculous, because 8GB of RAM is overkill for a console... but Sony's PS4 was just announced to have that amount, and so it wouldn't be surprising to see the same on the next Xbox. Chances are I was entirely wrong, it looks like.

Sorry I just don't get the issue with the always online thing. My Pc at home is always on and always online so I can remote desktop my RT from wherever. If the xbox has to be always online its not going to be a deal breaker for me, would be good to get access to it somehow if its always there ready in cyberspace. As for the used game thing the first and last used game I purchased gave me the ring of death so seeing the back of them wouldn't matter. Just don't change the controller layout and I will be happy.

The next Xbox is going to dominate the PS4 no matter what. Blocking used games will not change that and being always-on will not change that.
All of this information is based on rumors. None of these original/credible rumors mentioned anything besides the term "always-on". "Always-on" does not mean "always-connected". And "always-connected" does not mean it requires a connection to function.
The next xbox will be connected to the internet even when it's turned off. This is the ONLY thing we can speculate from our given information. No exceptions.
As for the debacle about blocking used games, get used to it. EVERYTHING will use this model going forward. Your phones and computers do not allow used software. Neither should your console.
Why does every single consumer think that EVERY company doesn't care about them and is out to only make money?.....

Because they are out to make money. You think they have an alternative motive?

Not saying I agree with it or not.. I've bought a used game or two, but mostly because I didn't want to wait to order it cheap online from Amazon.

Mississippi County Sheriff Keith Moore blames the state of the economy for causing the increase in crime in Bertrand.
"There is something very wrong here in Bertrand and something needs to be done," Brenda Pendergrass, a daughter of a recent victim, said. "When you can't feel safe in your own home, where can you feel safe?"
Pendergrass' parents, Harlan and Pansey, were sleeping in their bed, while just outside the room they were being robbed.
"Just to think we were in there asleep and didn't hear nothing," Pansey Terrell said. "Like I told my daughter, well that stuff can be replaced. But we can't, but we're so old, you probably wouldn't want to replace us anyway.
Sense of humor still is intact. But, their sense of security has been forever shaken.
"Well I told my husband, I'll be afraid to go to sleep now," Terrell said. "I'll be afraid to go to sleep."
"I just hope they catch them and no one else has to go through what my mom and dad went through," Pendergrass said.

With the official SBN Blogger Mock NFL draft cruising through the second round right now over at Mocking the Draft I thought I would take a look at how the 1st round played out and see if there are any surprises.
Starting with the first eight picks leading up to the Panthers pick at #9:
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford - No surprise
2. Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor - No surprise
3. Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil, OT, USC - No surprise, all the Claiborne talk is simply to try and get another team to overpay for this pick
4. Cleveland Browns: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State - This is where I see the first upset coming in the real draft. Though I like the pick as Cleveland needs an elite WR but for some reason Blackmon is the guy I think will slip down past 5.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU - No surprise; hate it but there is no way the Bucs pass on Claiborne as it's a perfect match between BPA and Need
6. St. Louis Rams: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama - If it's not the Browns who make the first surprise move then it might be the Rams. I can understand the pick if its pure BPA but is it? Do they really need a RB with Jackson in the fold?
7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina - I can't argue with this pick but I'm not as sold as others this is who Jax will take. Besides, if someone wants Tanneyhill you have to talk to Jax or the Dolphins will glad snag him
8. Miami Dolphins: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M - If he should slide to #8 this is a no-brainer
9. Carolina Panthers: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State - You can read my write up for this selection here as well as why I didn't select other players here. By the way I should say this is a terrible top 8 for the Panthers as all the guys another team might trade up for short of Cox or Ingram are gone.
If got a look at the remaining 23 1st round picks after the jump...
10. Buffalo Bills: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State - This one is a head scratcher in that hardly anyone has Adams as the 2nd best tackle in this draft. I would agree the Bills need a tackle but my guess is this blogger thinks Adams is a LT in the making, not a RT like Reiff
11. Kansas City Chiefs: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa - So how many OL have they drafted in the last couple drafts? Maybe they get this one right.
12. Seattle Seahawks: Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Alabama - Seems like a reach at best when Ingram and Kuechly are still on the board.
13. Arizona Cardinals: Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford - Good pick
14. Dallas Cowboys: David DeCastro, OG, Stanford - Good pick
15. Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College - Great pick
16. New York Jets: Melvin Ingram, DE/OLB, South Carolina - Great pick
17. Cincinnati Bengals: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina - I'm not in the group that thinks Gilmore is the 2nd best CB in this draft, much less worth #17. But the Bengals did well with Jonathan Joseph so...
18. San Diego Chargers: Mark Barron, SS, Alabama - I'm not big on taking safeties this early and Barron seems over-rated to me.
19. Chicago Bears: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame - Good pick
20. Tennessee Titans: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama - Could be a great pick; if Kirkpatrick ends up a PBer we can blame ourselves for putting too much into his off the field stuff
21. Cincinnati Bengals: Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia - Good pick if OL is what they need
22. Cleveland Browns: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor - I'm not sure what to think about Wright but considering they took Blackmon at #4 this is curious to say the least.
23. Detroit Lions: Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama - Good pick, I think too much is being made of his issues and he won't much further than this next week.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama - Good pick
25. Denver Broncos: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU - Great pick, can't believe he slid this far
26. Houston Texans: Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis - I'm not in the group that thinks he's a 1st rounder
27. New England Patriots: Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois - Good pick
28. Green Bay Packers: Devon Still, DT, Penn State - I still haven't understood why a guy with his stats and measurables isn't getting top 15 consideration; this pick could be a steal
29. Baltimore Ravens: Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin - Is this guy really worth a 1st rounder or is this a need reach
30. San Francisco: Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech - Another need reachin my view. Hill is very raw and will take two or three seasons to make an impact
31. New England Patriots: Kendall Reyes, DT, Connecticut - Probably another good pick
32. New York Giants: Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin - For a team with not many needs hard ot argue with adding the top talent at center
So what are your thoughts on this mock draft?

Natalie's Review
Aresti Reserva Merlot 2006, Curicó Valley, Chile: Vintages Wine Panel: Chilean winemakers have redefined Merlot with their bold, spicy, flavorful expressions of the grape. As this Reserva shows, the emerging interpretation at its best is rich with plum, cassis, and berry fruit aromas. A fine mixture of fruit and judicious oak spice make this medium-bodied beauty a stellar spokes model for new-style Merlot from Chile. My note: Simply amazing for the money! Rich, mocha deep with blackberries, plush plums and dark chocolate notes. 726760 14% XD 750 mL $12.95 Score: 88/100. August 1, 2009 Full Review
