East Lancs temperatures rise before storms set in
Updated 9:43am Friday 18th July 2014 in News By Michael Morrison, Hyndburn reporter
THE mercury in East Lancashire is set to tip 27C as the area basks under the hot summer sun today.
But less than 24 hours later, flashfloods, thunderstorms and even hailstorms could batter the area, including the sold-out Beat-Herder music festival in the Ribble Valley, the Met Office warned.
Today's good weather has been caused by hot air from the Mediterranean.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Temperatures will reach 26 or 27C today, and people will definitely need to wear suncream.
"There won't be any cloud cover until around 9pm, and with very, very warm nights, there will be no respite."
But by Saturday the good weather will have break with heavy rain.
Huncoat weather expert Roy Chetham said: "This isn't unusual for this time of year. We have had a few bad summers, which makes this summer seem quite good,.
"It's not a heatwave or drought just yet.
"On Saturday, any storms will be of a showery nature. One part of a town maybe inundated and another part will see nothing, so people's experiences will be quite varied. But we don't know yet. It's only a forecast."
The AA said it was expecting a 'significant increase' in breakdowns, mostly due to overheating. Motorists have been urged to check their tyres, coolant levels and to make sure their cooling fan is working properly.
The AA was also advising drivers to stay tuned to local radio for traffic and weather updates.
Spokesman Mark Spowage said: "Changing conditions on Saturday will bring torrential thundery showers in places. While they are likely to be shortlived, water will quickly run off, causing localised flash-flooding as well as making the roads slippery.
"Keep your speed down and don't risk driving through flood water."
Lancashire's fire service warned against swimming in open waters in an effort to cool down. Last month, James Goodship, 17, from Colne, drowned at Lake Burwain.
A spokesman said: "When the temperatures are warmer, you may be tempted to cool off with a swim in a local river, lake or the sea.
"However, despite the water looking still and calm, the currents can be deceiving."

Matt Nathanson Last of the Great Pretenders Tour
Matt Nathanson Last of the Great Pretenders Tour- special guest Joshua Radin
Based in San Francisco, Matt Nathanson has evolved into one of the premier songwriters and dynamic performers on the music scene today. His 2007 album Some Mad Hope (his first for Vanguard) yielded the smash single "Come On Get Higher," which has sold more than 2 million copies to date, as well as the subsequent hits "Car Crash," "Falling Apart" and "All We Are." The success of Some Mad Hope earned Nathanson a coveted spot as a VH1 "You Oughta Know" artist, while also resulting in appearances on such national television shows as David Letterman, Ellen,Conan O'Brien, Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, Dancing with the Stars, Rachael Ray and The CMA Awards to name a few. Additionally, his songs have been featured in numerous film and TV programs, including Good Morning America, NCIS, Private Practice, American Idol, X Factor,Vampire Diaries, American Pie and 90210. Modern Love, his previous studio album, debuted at #17 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and topped the iTunes Pop Chart. It featured the hit singles "Faster" and "Run" – the latter featuring Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. Nathanson's legendary live shows, in which he displays a chic comedic flair, have resulted in sold-out tours across the U.S., Canada and Australia.

NEW YORK Ś If you need to know why so much attention needs to be paid to top Rangers defensive pair Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi during this first-round Stanley Cup playoff series just look at what they do to the FlyersÆ top-line gunners.
Through four regular-season games and one playoff game between the teams, McDonagh and Girardi have spent the bulk of their time on the ice defending against the likes of Claude Giroux, Jake Voracek and Scott Hartnell. Hartnell assisted on the FlyersÆ lone goal in Game 1 Thursday by Andrew MacDonald in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers. But Giroux and Voracek, the FlyersÆ Nos. 1 and 2 point-producers during the regular season with 86 and 62, respectively, didnÆt get as much as a shot on goal in that first playoff game.
WhatÆs more, that trio combined for only one goal and four points in the four regular-season games between the teams, far below their cumulative norm.
Giroux didnÆt seem ready with an explanation, perhaps he didnÆt want to be. Asked what it was about McDonagh and Girardi that has had his line off its game so frequently, he said, ōSometimes it clicks and sometimes you arenÆt able to get the bounces. This year we werenÆt able to get them, but regular season and playoffs arenÆt the same, and now weÆre just focused on Game 2.ö
That comes Sunday at High Noon at Madison Square Garden, which arguably could be defined as a must-win for the Flyers ... at least from a pyschological standpoint.
Lose this game and itÆll be 10 straight Madison Square disappointments for the Flyers at the Garden dating to Feb. 20, 2011.
ōWe didnÆt play the way we wanted in Game 1,ö Giroux said. ōDefensively we can be better and thatÆs how we can get some more chances offensively. We just need to tie them up.ö
ōWe know what theyÆre doing,ö Voracek said. ōTheyÆre very hard on us. They close the gap on us very good when other teams donÆt. They give you less time to make a play. I think thatÆs the biggest difference. But like I said, the regular season is completely different from the playoffs. So just because they outplayed us in the first game doesnÆt mean they will outplay us in the second.ö
Despite the accolades being filtered to him through the media and from the other locker room, McDonagh doesnÆt seem to be soaking it in too easily.
When asked about the obvious level of success he and Girardi have had on that top Flyers line through the season, McDonagh didnÆt seem to be buying into it.
ōI wouldnÆt say itÆs a complete success by any means,ö McDonagh said. ōThey do a lot for their team. TheyÆre creating and getting momentum on their side, too. Even if theyÆre not shining on the scoreboard theyÆre creating a lot.
ōI think we are just focusing as a unit of five out there. ItÆs not anybody in particular. WeÆre doing a good job of recognizing when theyÆre on the ice, maybe playing a little more simple; getting pucks in deep and making them defend and go back in their own zone so they donÆt have the energy to get down ice.ö
McDonagh does his handiwork mostly with speed, Girardi with physicality. Against the FlyersÆ best group of scorers, itÆs been a very effective combination.
ōObviously their D are pretty good at moving the puck,ö Giroux said. ōWe have to do a better job of getting a better forecheck.ö
For his part, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault might be a believer that the FlyersÆ top-liners can and will do just that during this series.
On the theory that his top defensive pair is enjoying a dominant advantage over the FlyersÆ top line of forwards, Vigneault shrugged and said, ōThose players are so skilled and so determined on the ice, maybe weÆve just gotten lucky.ö
Yeah, thatÆs it. Luck.
Asked if he at least thought his team was frustrating Giroux, Voracek and Hartnell, Vigneault asked back, ōAfter one game?ö
Someone suggested that Giroux, in particular might be feeling the heat, but he said if he was, thatÆs only a good thing.
ōItÆs good pressure, I think,ö Giroux said. ōYou want to be in this position. You want to be in the playoffs, you want to be in charge and you want to be the one making the difference. ThatÆs the best part about playoffs.ö

Caption Diss: Amber Rose's Split Between Two Bananas
Tuesday, Jul 5, 2011 12:10AM
For Caption Diss, the good ol' folks at SOHH are back at it giving y'all, my loyal doggies, a chance to capture the final word(s). The "Best We've Ever Read" headline gets to hold down that Cap Diss honor for a week.
[Editor Note: The views of this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH.com]
LMFAO. Doggies, am I THAT doggy or what? Who do y'all know that does it better than the one and only Bulldog Butters, huh? LOL. Well, turns out Amber Rose has once again been making headlines (like y'all didn't read Pulse Report, LOL) lately. For what, you may ask? GRAPHIC NUDE PICS, or so SOHH says. LOL. Yes, doggies, it was only appropriate we give Amber Rose some clothed spotlight a day after Independence Day. Seems like her life boils down to the tune of Kanye West's "Two Words." Yes/No. Clothed/Nude. Kanye/Wiz. So with that in mind, what do you get when Amber Rose has to pick between two bananas? LOL. Better yet, what in the h*ll is going on in her mind right here? Hhhmm..............................
LMFAO @JTGPINC!!! I gotta admit, I thought y'all would have come up short (no pun intended) with Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber, but y'all came through. LOL. I mean, what kind of name is "Shawty Mane" anyway, right? Seems like Biebs needed a fresh alias, right, doggies? LOL. Funny sh*t @JTGPINC!
Aight doggies, no more Transformers flicks for me. Next up is that Captain America flick and my little niece wants to see Harry Potter. But in the meantime, y'all know how we roll in here, think 'em, diss 'em, ink 'em and submit 'em into the comments section by Monday, July 11th! See y'all on Friday!

Federal Judge's Book to Focus On Her Prior Work as 'Unrepentant Advocate'
Posted Aug 19, 2010 4:39 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A biographical book by a federal judge in Boston won't be published until next year.
But already it is igniting controversy, reports the Boston Globe.
Although U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner focuses on her previous work as a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer, before she took the bench in 1994, some are questioning whether it is ever appropriate for a sitting judge to discuss her work as a lawyer and thus, at least implicitly, her personal views on matters and issues she may be called upon to address in court.
Plus, the book's title, In Defense of Women: Memoirs of an Unrepentant Advocate, is also raising some eyebrows.
Among those who say such a book could cast doubt on a judge's impartiality is Robert Barton. Retired as a state-court judge, he is a former chair of the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct.
The 64-year-old Gertner—who Barton described as one of the best lawyers to appear in his court during the days when he himself was still on the bench—can expect extra recusal motions once her book is published, Barton suggests.
"But if anybody was going to test the waters, it would be Nancy Gertner," he adds. "She's very independent.''

Juan Kincaid
Juan Kincaid
Juan Kincaid loves to tell stories - people stories. It's the ability to be able to meet and talk to interesting people that he says drew him to the reporting profession in the first place.
"You get to find out things, interesting things, about people with a microphone in your hand, that you wouldn't get to find out without it."
Born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Juan couldn't help but become a college basketball fan, a Tar Heel fan, a Michael Jordan fan.
As a youngster Juan says he remembers playing "every sport there is to play." He tried his hand at basketball, baseball, football, tennis, soccer and bowling. He's a self-described "danger" to anyone on a golf course and has sworn off giving the game another try.
However while the links are off-limits, Juan likes to spend some of his spare time on the soccer field. A college player at Lenoir-Rhyne, Juan briefly played professionally and toured overseas with a U.S. soccer squad.
Juan says he began college with the intention of becoming a computer programmer, but quickly changed his mind, due to his love for writing. After transferring to Lenoir-Rhyne from a junior college, Juan began pursuing a career in front of the camera. His busy college career included being the class president, captain of the soccer team and sports editor of the campus paper.
After graduation, Juan spent time at a local newspaper and as a country disc jockey on radio before landing his first television job as a production assistant at a small television station in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
He says he "invented" the job of sports trainee at the station and he quickly did "everything but go on the air." That training prepared him well for his first "on-air" job in Columbia, South Carolina.
Juan took a year off from broadcasting to "find out what I wanted to do," and spent a year teaching and coaching high school soccer before the television bug bit again.
He took a job in Denison, Texas and worked there for two years before landing a job in Macon, Georgia. Juan spent three years there, honing his talents, before being tapped to come to WWL.
Juan says his preferred sports to cover include college basketball and college football. He's interviewed several big name sports celebrities but says his most memorable interview came with a man few may have heard of. "He was a 93-year-old former Negro League baseball star," remembers Juan. "But his mind was as sharp as a 50-year-old. He'd lived in the same house since 1919 and he knew everything there was to know about sports in that community. He'd personally played in the Negro Leagues with stars like Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige and the stories he had to tell were priceless. I know there are stories like that here, and I'll find them."
When not at work or playing soccer, Juan says he likes to cook, listen to music and go out dancing, but his big love he says, is reading to children.
"I have a program that I do where I take some weekly readers to school and I have some different colored hats and costumes. When I'm reading a story to the kids, I like to have them wear an item, the color of something pertinent to the story."
It's a program that endeared him to children in his former homes, it's one he plans to continue in his new one.

Come away with the knowledge of what inspired Monty's book, 'THE MAN WHO LISTENS TO HORSES,' read by millions and responsible for revolutionizing the way we enjoy horses.
Monty's team will guide your actions around horses, building confidence through the knowledge of Monty's violence-free training concepts enabling one to be comfortable in the presence of the horse. We will cover ground manners, safe handling while grooming and learn how to lead a horse correctly using Monty's gentle methods. The highlight of the class is the opportunity to complete your own Join-Up® with a horse.
You may be inspired to come back and further your education with one of our other courses; regardless, you will have joined a unique group of people who now have a better understanding of 'Equus,' the language of the horse, how horses learn, think and see.

Join-Up is pivotal to your relationship with horses. This four-day clinic will offer a solid understanding of what Monty calls 'Equus,' the language of the horse. One will learn the body language necessary to achieve Join-Up with a horse, the trust-based foundation for all equine disciplines, as well as discover the importance of posture, breathing, spatial awareness and the power of intention in the presence of horses. The opportunity to gain the understanding of gestures and subtle movements that can be very significant in the relationship with the horse will be offered. One will also become more proficient with Monty's Dually™ halter, learning Monty's concepts through demonstrations, discussions, practical hands-on exercises and round pen work. Certified Instructors will demonstrate and teach these concepts with a variety of horses to illustrate the effectiveness of Monty's work in this important foundation of non-violent training.

Double line longing increases one's control of the horse through rein pressure, even when you ride. This unique, easy-to-learn technique combines Monty's Join-Up® communication concepts with the effectiveness of double long lining. Single line lunging can cause disadvantages to the horse's ligaments, tendons and muscles causing them to work against one another.

Horse Sense and Soldiers
Monty Roberts has developed an equine assisted program for war veterans with symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The three-day "Horse Sense and Soldiers" workshops take place at Flag Is Up Farms. Through an innovative approach to coping with what Monty refers to as "Post Traumatic Stress Illness", reflecting the fact that there is solid hope for recovery, Roberts shares his vision in non-violent communication as veterans learn to interpret the behavior of horses and achieve "Join-Up®," the moment when a horse will trust human contact. It is a powerful parallel for soldiers coping with emotional trauma.
Cost: FREE (horses provided)
Check the Course Calendar
Certification Courses
The Monty Roberts International Learning Center also offers the certification courses below. The curriculum offers students predictable, discernible, and effective tools to communicate with horses using their own natural language, forming a partnership based on trust and communication rather than dominance. Included in your sign up is a year's subscription to 'Monty's Equus Online University.' This online learning tool will give you a great start prior to the course and a greater idea of what you will be learning and doing in the round pen during your course. And the ongoing education that you will have with the Uni will give you great practice and exercises to continue with at home while working towards your exams.
The Introductory Course and the Advanced Course provide a strong foundation in Monty's Join-Up® methods and will give you the tools you need to become a professional in the equine industry using his revolutionary, gentle training and communication principles.
Both programs have a three-section design.
- The first section, consisting of two weeks of learning, is completed here at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center at Flag Is Up Farms.
- The second section consists of distance learning modules and field study in which the student returns to their area of origin to complete videotapes and coursework each month. The time frame of the field study is variable depending on student commitments, however we recommend several months of practice.
- The third and final section consists of a one to two week period containing both review and examinations.
Visit our policies and forms page to obtain our Registration & Application forms as well as information on accommodation available in the area. You can also call (805) 688-3483 to learn more.
Introductory Course
The Introductory Course is the first step to gain an in-depth understanding of Monty's concepts. Students from various equine backgrounds are welcome to take part, as there are no prerequisites. To those of you with little or no horse knowledge, we recommend prior participation in the H101 Clinic.
The Introductory Course is designed to provide you with a well-rounded knowledge in general horsemanship in the basics of horse performance, breeding, feeding and nutrition, with a strong emphasis on horse psychology. As the foundation of Monty's work and a prerequisite for the Advanced Course, you will learn the method of Join-Up® as it relates to various environments. You will have the opportunity to build your skills in Dually™ halter work, long lining, herding exercises and loading.
The training begins at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center where your first two weeks consist of hands-on experience as well as theories in horse psychology. Following this you will return home to complete several months of distance learning modules and field study (submitted via videotape every other month). It is during the field study period that you learn about horse performance, breeding, feeding and nutrition through a distance-learning program. Then you will return for practical and written exams, at the successful completion of which you will graduate from the Introductory Program.
Graduates of the Introductory Course are offered the opportunity to continue their education by completing the Advanced Course and, upon personal selection by Monty, the Instructors' Internship. Only Certified Instructors are able to teach, demonstrate and advertise their services for monetary gain.
When: Check the Course Calendar
Cost: $4000: including 2 weeks of study at the MRILC + several months of distance learning modules and field study
Exam Price: $1000

Call: (805) 688-3483 to book or email email@example.com or email@example.com for more details.
Advanced Course
The Advanced Course offers students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in training both un-started and untouched horses. This training is the next step on the pathway towards becoming a qualified Instructor, and to attend the Advanced Course you must be a graduate of the Introductory Course.
You will be given the tools to expand your knowledge and overall experience in Monty's concepts, with this three-stage program focusing on practical solutions to real situations. You will have the opportunity to test your problem solving skills and stimulate your creative thinking ability while learning to become more aware of what creates remedial horse behavior.
Following the initial two-week intensive period, you will return home to complete several months of field study to be submitted via videotape. You will then return for two weeks of written and practical exams, at the successful completion of which you will graduate from the Advanced Course.
When: Check the Course Calendar
Cost: $3000 including 2 weeks of study at the MRILC + field study
Exam Price: $2000

On successful completion of the Advanced Course selected students may be invited for the Instructor's Internship. This internship has been created for students wishing to become certified Instructors in the Monty Roberts methodology. Certified Instructors are qualified to teach Join-Up® and Long-Lining classes worldwide as well as the Monty Roberts Introductory Course and Horsemanship 101 classes.
The internship consists of a minimum of three months at Flag Is Up Farms, during which time you will assist with teaching and learn the skills necessary to run your own business. Existing Instructors will guide you through this process, and Monty will check your progress regularly.
Monty will assess you at the end of your three months, and depending on your progress, you may need to complete further training, or you may be ready to graduate and join the exclusive and limited ranks of Monty Roberts Instructors!
For further details please contact the MRILC at 805-688-3483 and speak to our team of friendly Instructors. Or email email@example.com or email@example.com for more details.

Off Topic: MLB Trade Deadline at Daily Dish
Friday is a massive day in Major League Baseball, the Trade Deadline. Much like in the NHL, there is expected to be a flurry of activity by teams who look to strengthen themselves for the final stretch of the season (or who give up for this season and re-shuffle the deck for next). MLB Daily Dish here on SB Nation is the top spot to go to for general rumors, speculation and news about transactions in MLB. Of course, our friends at DRays Bay will keep you abreast with goings on for the Tampa Bay Rays specifically at the deadline, but for a broader perspective about what's happening and what's rumored in baseball, check out Daily Dish.

Over the years he played with the greats from Booker T. and The MG's, The Blues Brothers, and even wrote and produced Disco Duck for Rick Dees.
MORE: White House showcases soul of Memphis
Memphis musician and producer Bobby Manuel says he and the other Memphis artists who recently performed at the White House, were like little kids before performing for the President and First Lady.
It was a special night for a lot of us. Residents of the Mid-South were excited because some of our hometown artists were performing at the White House. Later we could all watch on PBS in a television special featuring Justin Timberlake, The Bar-Kays, Mavis Staples, Steve Cropper, Sam Moore, the Alabama Shakes, Ben Harper, Cyndi Lauper, Charlie Musselwhite, Queen Latifah and William Bell.
"I tell you the White House has an effect on you like no other place I've played," Manuel said. "We were there for two days - eight hours one day. We got to see all the rooms and everything during that time. There's going to be a period you will reflect on what happened in this country and I was just amazed how to understand how we're here, why we're here. God had to be involved in that.
"There is no way we could have done this," he added. "We could not have survived. Anyway you get that feeling and it's awesome.
When it was showtime, another feeling came over the group from Memphis.
"We were all standing in line and we were like children," Manuel said. "James Alexander turned to me and said, I'm nervous about this.' James is leader of The Bar-Kays, out there forever. He said, 'are you nervous?' I said 'I'm nervous.' It's really intimidating. Like I say no other place I've been that had that kind of effect on me. Would not trade for anything."
It was a big night for all of us. Thank you Mr. President for tipping your hat to some fine artists who keep putting Memphis music on the map.
"That's the culmination of my career," Manuel said. "I'll tell you that performance was something else."

I will never again!
Buy a pre-lit tree!!!! 2 of my 3 full size trees have many lights out on them. They claim to "stay lit" when one is burned out, not true! So guess what I get to do? I have to unwrap {er cut the cords} of the 12 ft tree which has 1800 lights on it and buy new white lights to string on the darn thing. Awww well, I guess its all a part of the season. :yahoo:
That has always been my fear about the pre-lit tree, I still do it the old fashioned way, swearing while walking around and around the tree. cheesy
Good luck unstringing and restringing your trees.
I will admit that this is probably my only annoyance (only a little) of the season ......lights! Hope you get it all sorted soon.
That's exactly what I do.
oh my Jana...I feel for ya....I would have thrown a horrible tantrum if that happened to me....since I hate the lights...not the lights...the putting them on the tree......so if I bought a tree with the purpose that I will never have to put lights on them again....and then it is messed up and I have double the work now....oh boy......
sorry Jana...is there no way of getting Your money back...or a guarantee on it?
This is frustrating.
But I remember the lights from the 1950's and 1960's and it was worse than what we have now. Maybe one day they will perfect lighting the tree but until then we just accept it and say, hey, it's Christmas. Like Fred Mertz said on the Christmas show of I love Lucy when the lights went out on the Ricardo's tree, he was glad they quit working because then it made it more like Christmas to him.
I always add more lights to my pre-lit tree because I don't feel there's enough on it.
I'm reading this just as I'm trying to decide on a new artificial tree. I have a years-and-years-old pre-lit one that forces me to track down and replace burnt-out bulbs several times each season. The branches are also getting loose and beginning to lose tips. So I'm trying to decide whether to buy a new pre-lit tree and plenty of replacement bulbs, or buy an unlit tree and string the lights myself with good-quality mini-light strings. Either way I'll eventually be replacing bulbs, but if I string it myself it might be easier to replace an entire string at a time, rather than undo the pre-strung tangle ...
Good luck finding a tree that is NOT pre--lit that you like. Why is it that so many of them are pre-lit? I'm one of those who puts a lot of traditional stuff on my tree...that means a mix of miniature and C-7s (with reflectors)...and that means NO pre-lit trees for me. Every pre-lit tree I have owned I have regretted. Especially the FLOCKED tree.

The headlines below the fold on the business page may not have captured everyone's attention, but astute observers may have noticed a trend among the major Indian outsourcing companies: "Wipro buys Infocrossing for $600 million," "Caritor acquires Keane for $854 million," or "Infosys and Wipro gunning for MarketRx."
[ Related Reality Check blog post: Globalization takes on a new look ]
In every case above, what we are witnessing is an attempt by tier-one Indian outsourcing firms to up their game and climb higher on the value chain by buying the one thing they lack: industry or domain expertise.
The fact is these companies need to change their business models, which are linked too tightly to the cost of the services they provide. In a body-shop environment, the business model drives them to add more services, but that requires more resources and more cost. The only way to overcome this is to "go further up market by getting outside the borders of their country," says David Blanton, vice president for global sourcing at Unisys.
For the Indian companies, operating margins are up by as much as 50 percent, with the value of the rupee climbing against the dollar -- coupled with a 15-percent increase in the cost of Indian labor year over year. In that economic environment, it becomes increasingly difficult for Indian companies to grow at rates approaching 40 percent as they have in the past. Acquiring domain or industry expertise is a way of buying what they can't build.
The niceties of adding value
It is not new strategy, says Alan Herrick, CEO of Sapient. Indian firms know that their Western counterparts have been offering domain expertise since the '90s as a competitive differentiator, and continue to compete on that today.
"Look at the horizon. The Indian firms have to ask themselves: How can we play as the leading value proposition? They know there is not enough wage arbitrage to support a [growing] business model and as you climb higher up the value chain it becomes less significant," says Herrick.
Can these acquisitions be enough to put major Indian firms on the same footing as Western consultancies? Very likely not by itself. Successful consultancies understand how to deliver the high-touch, highly collaborative services Fortune 1000 organizations demand, according to Herrick. Having a couple of hundred representatives here in the States and in Europe cannot by itself yield a global company that understands the special needs of the Fortune 1000.
The fact is, adds Herrick, lack of domain expertise isn't the usual reason an outside company fails to deliver on its promises. Instead, projects tend to fail because the partners could not clarify the objective and align all the constituencies across the company. That requires a deep understanding of corporate politics and culture.

First and foremost, THANK YOU to beta and Addison H. for making this happen. There's a lot of steps between "We should do this!" and "We've done it!" and they followed them all. Thanks kids, and well done.
Perhaps it's overkill, as there are already two threads that address this game (Sloan/Laing/Varly & GDT), but I thought it would be nice to have a place for the Japers' road crew to
brag gloat share their experiences.
Secondly, I owe everyone an apology for not quite getting anyone the John Walton experience I was hoping for. I hope we get a chance to go up to Hershey again - I'll strive to make it go a little more smoothly.
Thirdly, this experience was teh awesome. From the flashing "Bears Game SOLD OUT" sign in the Giant Center parking lot, to the Coach Boudreau book signing line stretching 'round the GC concourse for two and a half periods, to Matty Perreault's FOUR goal game, this night was special.
I must say, however, the alternate Caps jerseys kinda freaked me out. Looky! There's #10 Matt Brad...er, Andrew Gordon. And hey! That's #17 Chris Clar...no, that's Chris Bourque. Over there, #22 Mike Knuble is stretching out. Except it's really Francois Bouchard. Hey #28...are we getting Good Sasha Semin or Bad Boyd Kane tonight? And finally, who are the jokers in the Laing and Sloan jerseys? Prolly some clowns up from Charlotte.
A few observations on the game -
- It was better that Varly didn't play this game. He would have been bored silly. The final shot differential was 50-24, and it wasn't really even that close. Plus I came up to see Holtby.
- The Bears' 10-11-12 top line flying down the ice must have been a terrifying sight to the Sound Tigers, as they froze in their tracks every time it happened.
- Related: when I'm looking up articles in the Swedish press, googletrans does something goofy with whatever the Swedish word for "defenseman" is and translates it as "crate." Bridgeport brought a lot of crates with them tonight - they must've left their actual defensemen at the hotel. Or possibly they were still drying out at Sheetz.
- Where do I go to look up the faceoffs? I'm not sure the Tiggers won any.
- I'll think of more later but am done for now. Thanks again to the organizers, and it is always great to meet my Rinkbuddies. Go Caps, go Bears, and GO USA GO!

News: Kim Kardashian Shows Off "Ugly Infamous Cry Face" W/ Kanye West
Wednesday, Jul 18, 2012 9:54AM
Reality star hottie Kim Kardashian put on a facial expression to forget alongside boyfriend Kanye West this week after a day of fun at Six Flags Amusement Park.
Kardashian released a photo of herself crying while Ye smiled on one of Valencia, California's Six Flags roller coast rides.
It's clear who the thrill seeker is in this relationship. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian spent their Tuesday hopping on rides at the Six Flags Amusement Park in Valencia, California -- but we don't think Kim had nearly as much fun as Kanye. One photograph tweeted out by Kim shows the reality star, her rapper boyfriend and little sister Kendall strapped in for a roller coaster ride. In the picture Kanye and Kendall appear to be having the time of their lives, but Kim looks absolutely terrified. Kim also tweeted out a closeup shot of her crying on the same ride, with the caption: "Another ugly infamous cry face for the records." (RumorFix)
Last week, KimYe made headlines after getting spotted at the Dash store grand opening.
Fans went wild as Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Khloé Kardashian Odom and Kris Jenner stopped by the grand opening of the Kardashian sisters' new DASH store on Melrose Boulevard in West Hollywood Friday, stopping to take pictures with dozens of people crowded outside the store. Kimye arrived together in the E! reality starlet's black Rolls-Royce, holding hands as they made their way through the crazy crowd, and later canoodled inside of the store. "Dash LA opens today on Melrose!!!" Kim tweeted Friday. "I'm so excited! We've worked so hard to get this going! Can't wait for you all to see it!" (E! Online)
Cameras also caught the couple together when they attended this month's BET Awards ceremony in Hollywood.
Kim Kardashian showed her full support for beau Kanye West after the rapper declared his love for her in "Way Too Cold" during the opening set of 2012 BET Awards. Soon after the rhymer retreated to the backstage, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star sprang to her feet and clapped to give him a standing ovation. The lovebirds attended the Sunday, July 1 show in matching white outfits. (Ace Showbiz)
The reality star recently talked to television mogul Oprah Winfrey about her Yeezy connection.
"We met maybe almost a decade ago, I've known him for a really long time, we've been friends for like six or seven years, so it's very comforting to have someone that knows everything about you that respects you, understands, has gone through similar things," Kim said. "I can really relate to his mother passing, he can really relate to my father passing. I mean, there's so many similarities in our life that I feel like I'm at a really happy, good space." ("Oprah's Next Chapter")

Sara Eckel volunteered as a literacy tutor because she expected to get back more than she gave. But, she learned from her students, volunteering is just about giving. As she writes in "Is This Worth It?" from our November magazine:
"Volunteer work was supposed to make me happier and more fulfilled. I knew this because I had written many articles proclaiming the psychological benefits of donating one's time, citing research that showed that people who did so enjoyed better health, stronger relationships, and higher overall well-being than those who did not. My Buddhist studies at the Shambhala Meditation Center of New York also touted the benefits of selflessness, and I had often heard teachers there repeat Sakyong Mipham's famous quote, 'If you want to be miserable, think of yourself. If you want to be happy, think of others.'
"And yet, each week I began my volunteer teaching job with a heavy heart. It was definitely not bringing me greater joy or deeper meaning. It was a job—a job I didn't get paid for."

Albrighton and Woodland meeting postponed
Updated 10:39am Thursday 6th February 2014 in Sport
POINT-TO-POINT: Heavy rain has forced the postponement of the Albrighton and Woodland meeting due to be held at Chaddesley Corbett on Sunday.
Organisers decided to rearrange the event after efforts to drain the course did not work.
A statement from organisers said: "Every effort has been made to keep the course drained, but due to the amount of rain we have already had, and the forecast for the coming days it is with regret that we have to announce the postponement of Sunday's meeting."
"A new date is being sought and an announcement will be made in due course."
The event had been set to see the likes of rider Tom Weston in action, as well as trainers from the region.

This is a solid camera that provides a lot of bang for the buck.
by schauba on May 9, 2005
Pros: Resolution, DIGIC II processor, super-fast boot up time, fast shutter speed and FPS
Cons: A little small, which causes the controls to be crowded

Summary: I have been using a Canon PowerShot G3 for a couple of years and it was a great camera, but I was outgrowing it and I decided to make the jump to SLRs. The two cameras that immediately jumped at me were the Rebel XT and the Nikon D70. The Nikon has a good feel to it, but the technology is a little old and its resolution is only about 6 MP compared to the 8 MP on the XT. The small size of the XT weirded me out the first time I picked it up, but it really isn't that much different in size to a film SLR and I became comfortable with it the more I handled it in stores.
The DIGIC I processor on the G3 produced awesome shots and I was a big fan of it. The DIGIC II has not disappointed me. The images are brilliant.
The XT also boots up in an instant. I have not missed a shot because the camera didn't turn on in time.
The Digital XT's top shutter speed of 1/4000 is plenty to catch most action shots and the 3.0 frames per second (FPS) continuous shooting is great. I can capture up to 9 frames in one burst using the Large size and Fine resolution file size.
The only real problem that I have had with the camera is that I will occasionally hit the shutter release timer button by accident. While the design might be better, you could also argue that the user should pay more attention to what he is doing. It's certainly not annoying enough to consider returning the camera though.
In short, Digital Rebel XT is a great camera. You can't find another camera with a similar feature set for this amount of money. The only reason I would recommend the Nikon D70 over the XT is if you already have a bunch of Nikon lenses. Otherwise, I don't think you can get a better camera for the money.

Summary: I love the camera but I really wish I had just gotten the body (without the kit lens). Do yourself a favor and research lenses before you buy. In a very exhaustive survey of several hundred lenses Canon's 18-55 was near the very bottom. Canon, Sigma and Tamron all have better choiced, depending on your shooting style.

Near Perfect - A Digital Revelation
by ArtInvent on June 9, 2005
Pros: Fantastic image quality; low noise at high ISO; fast; light and compact;
Cons: Nitpicks: smallish LCD; grip could use more rubber.

Summary: If, like me, you remember your old 35mm SLR fondly but have used prosumer 'digicams' for the last few years, waiting for the time when you could finally afford a first-rate D-SLR, the time has finally come. Firstly, this camera takes smooth as silk, incredibly detailed images. They look as good as expertly scanned 35mm film, better in many respects, and I've done a lot of scanning. I downloaded every sample image I could find before I bought this, yet I was still floored with the image quality of my first shots. If anything my expectations were exceeded.
Secondly, being able to shoot at ISO 400 with no noise, and 800 or 1600 with very little noise, cannot be undersold. I have taken shots at 1600, handheld in light that is uncomfortable to read by, that are perfectly acceptable blown up to 8x10 inches. I have found no need to shoot at ISO100, since I cannot really tell it from ISO400 and the extra shutter speed and/or smaller aperture can really come in handy. Wow. A whole different ball game from a digicam.
Third, this thing is so much more responsive than a digicam. Fast focus, always ready to shoot, no shutter lag, huge buffer. The on-board flash is just fine - and like I said, I will be doing a whole lot more available-light non-flash photography with this camera. If you need more flash, get a hot shoe flash unit.
Battery life is excellent. Even with some flash and liberal shot reviewing on the LCD, I can shoot all afternoon without half draining the battery.
I have read a number of reviews saying the body is too small. Rubbish. I felt the original Rebel was too large and lumpy, and all the other semi-pro d-SLR's have been neck-dragging tanks. I really value a compact camera for travel. They could go a bit smaller and it would be fine with me. Yes it is plastic but that keeps it light, and it's not going to break. Again, if you want a larger heavier pro body there is always the 20D, or there is the optional battery grip for the XT.
RAW shooting is incredible. I have been using the free Pixmantec RawShooter Essentials, and the results are great. No more white balance issues, fantastic ability to 'fill light', adjust exposure, balance sharpness and noice, etc. Yet the camera can save a JPEG at the same time. Perfect.
Those who say that 8MP is no great advance over 6MP are right only in that it is probably not worth upgrading just for the resolution. However, 8MP is indeed better. As a former Nikon guy I waited and waited for a Nikon SLR to compare with the Canons. The D50 is only 6MP and not as advanced as the Rebel XT (and still not for sale as of 6/8/05.) The D70 is too bulky for my taste and still only 6MP.
The kit 18-55 lens can deliver excellent images. If absolute corner sharpness is essential, you should shoot at f/8 or f/11, but in all other instances you can not worry about it. I almost went for the 17-85 IS but the kit lens is a bargain I couldn't pass up.
Rated 9 because nothing is perfect. I am of the opinion that all digital cameras need larger LCDs, like 3". The hangrip could use softer rubber, would go a long way towards relieving the somewhat plastic feel. I am sure Canon and the others will improve upon the digital SLR in another year. Gilding the lilly. All in all - stunning.

Women Will Love It

Pros: Nice In Camera Processing, Features, Price
Cons: Too Small, Shoddy Construction, Menu Viewing & Navigation

Summary: After a few months of reseaching digital cameras, the Digital Rebel XT was top on my list to purchase, until I actually held and used the camera. Mind you, the in camera processing of pictures is excellent, very similar to a point and shoot, but when you actually pick up the camera and "try" to hold it, its very disappointing.
If you are an average to large size man, you will have a problem holding on to this thing as it is very small. Half of my hand hangs off the bottom of the grip, and I don't want to have to buy a battery grip for another $150 bucks just so I can hold on to it. I'm not sure what Canon was thinking here, as the original Digital Rebel was not like this, and their primary target customer is a man. Furthermore, the plastic body seems sturdy, but if you give it a little squeeze, it creaks, especially around the door areas. I can only imagine how it would or wouldn't hold up if you were constantly traveling with it. i woudn't spend $900 on a camera and know that it might not be durable.
The menus are also tabbed out instead of a constant scroll which is also a little annoying and makes it harder to naviate.
Other than that, the in camera imagery is great, and produces some very detailed pictures. I haven't seen the camera produce in RAW format, which really tells the story. The camera relies heavily on in camera processing of images, so I'm not sure how this holds out in terms of blown out prints which can't be recovered in post processing.
Overall, for a beginner or amatuer photographer, the camera is great if you can get by the feel and construction of the camera. I couldn't but that's just me. The Nikon cameras have a much heavier feel, better construction, and the best post processing of photos around.

Best option for advanced amateurs looking for more control than a Point & Shoot can give

Summary: The size of the camera will be a constant point of debate for this camera. Canon had to strike a compromise between making it small enough for portability, and large enough to be comfortable to hold. I have average size hands and its perfect size for me. If you learn to hold this camera like you are supposed to, with most of the weight in your left hand at the base of the lens, you will find it infinitely more comfortable. Problem is most users that come from P&S (point & shoot) cameras are used to supporting the camera weight in their right hand. This is not how you hold an SLR.
The image quality is amazing out of this camera. It supports both JPG and RAW in Canon's new CR2 format. The # of software programs that can read this format are limited at this time, but there are enough to get by. In the next 6 months, you will see a landslide of program updates to support it since this camera is so popular.
If you are a amateur switching over to an digital SLR for the first time, have no fear. The JPG quality out of the camera is amazing. As you get better in your photo taking, you should switch to RAW format and use photoshop (or something equivalent) to tweak your images (the cheaper "photoshop elements" will work too and is the most cost effective software).
When buying this camera, you have 3 choices: (1) body only, (2) body + 18-55mm lens or (3) body + 17-85mm IS lens.
I recommend getting the kit with the 18-55mm lens since you are only paying $100 premium over the body only, and the 18-55mm lens is well worth $100. Use this lens to discover what type of shooting you like to do and buy the specific lens that you need after that. No one lens will suit everyone -- it is a personal choice.

Summary: Should have been, could have been, definatly isn't.
I'm a professional photographer and use any one of about 15 different digital cameras for work, and have owned maybe 30 or 40 different digital cameras in the last 10 years or so.
And the digital rebel definately does NOT mesure up to... anything.
First the positive. The camera has a good start up time, great battery life, fast & accurate auto-focus (in decent light) and just ''feels'' good. And it's relativly cheap.
Anybody used to shooting SLR's will feel right at home with it. And of course it works with all the canon eos lenses, batteries & flashes, which are all fairly affordable
Now the bad
First of all the camera ALWAYS shoots everything under exposed. The f-stop is consistantly about a half or a full f-stop off what it should be... so you have to either retouch (brighten) every single picture you take, or set the f-stop manually if you want good pictures. And no, I'm not retentive about the quality of the images, the camera is really that bad.
How come the $260 canon A540 I got my kid for christmass can do it right, but my $999 digital rebel can't?
Secondly the electronics in the digital rebels have a real problem talking to the flashes. I've tried my speedligh 220, 440 & 550 (built by canon) and a sunpack flash for canon's, and get identical results using all 4. This camera simply does not take correctly exposed shots using a flash. Period. Some are bright, some are dark, and some are just plain flashed out with about 70 billion gigawatts of light. And they just plain don't work at all unless your at least 6-7 feet away from your subject.
It is the WORSE control of an external flash that I've ever experienced on any camera, bar none.
Conversly, the internal little pop up flash actually works pretty good, as long as you have SOME light. In very low or no light situations it does some kind of stroboscopic little dance, then pops off a flash about a second later. Very weird and kind of hard to work with.
And last, but worst of all this camera has a design flaw.
One day while in the middle of shooting a burst of pictures the autofocus simply stopped working. I have another friend that has the exact same problem. Did some research over the net and found that we're hardly the only ones that this has happened to. As a matter of fact I counted well over a dozen digital rebel owners that had the exact same problem on that message board.
It's a design flaw, where one of the parts inside the camera simply can't stand up to the wear & tear of taking too many pictures. Some camera huh?
A small pin that flips the mirror breaks, and prevents the camera from fine tuning the micro-focus on the image.
I called canon, who told me that I could send them the camera & get it fixed for a few hundred dollars. Great. Let me get this right... canon makes a camera that actually BREAKS WHEN YOU TAKE PICTURES WITH IT, and then they offer to charge me a third of the price of the camera to fix it?
According to the person I spoke with their is no recall on this product, they are not aware of any design flaws, and cannot explain why it broke. Maybe I did something wrong?
Like shooting pictures with it?
Don't buy this camera, chip in a few hundred $$ more and buy something else.
Hope this helps you out.

Summary: I purchased the Rebel XT with kit lens as my entry from film to digital SLR's. The Rebel XT had excellent reviews and I was impressed by it's features when viewing it at a local Camera shop. It is small and I like this, even though many others don't. It makes it easier to carry around on hiking trips and etc.
I have quite a few lenses, but I tend to perfer the kit lens for most of my shooting. For the price, it's not a bad lens and when used in the right way, the barrel distortion isn't noticable.
The biggest downfall I've found to this camera is it's high noise levels above 400 ISO. Even though CNET said it was manageable, when shooting in low light conditions such as covering indoor church events etc., the noise is unacceptably high and if enlarged prints such as 8x10 and above at 400-1600 ISO are the targeted print size, then you're in for a disappointment. I've seen alot of pictures done at high ISO speeds with the 20D and it performs MUCH better. I wished I would've spent the extra on the 20D for this reason.
But for the price of the XT, you can't really beat it. It's an excellent entry-level DSLR, but if I were trying to go pro, go with at least the 20D.
Example pictures can be found at www.rightanglepro.com, as every picture on there was taken with the XT.

Do not buy from DELL-Buyer Beware
by computermavin on June 10, 2005
Pros: Great price
Cons: Terrible Service and possible refurbushed items

Summary: I ordered a CANON Rebel XT(black) from DELL on April 8, 2005. They were supposed to ship it on April 25, 2005. They delayed it several times-first to May 5, then May 12.
I must have called DELL at least 20 times and sent them several e-mails.
Once I called customer service and the rep transferred me to Financing!
The camera was finally shipped on May 16. I received the camera on May 19.
But the story does not end there. I noticed that if I left the battery in the camera overnight or even after only 20 shots the battery would drain completely and the camera turn off.
I called DELL to complain and was put on hold for half an hour.
The next call I got transferred around several departments.
I e-mailed them and after a couple days they told me to contact CANON as they do not provide warranty support for cameras.
I dropped the camera at CANON's repair center. They have replaced a PCB card and hopefully repaired it. I just got it back today.
I was shocked with my experience with DELL. I have bought 2 PCS from DELL and they have been working great.
My advise to all of you...be careful buying cameras from DELL. DELL has terrible customer service and does not ship on time...and products they ship may be re-furbished or defective.

Summary: Realy easy to set up and use. Took 1000+ shots first couple days after I got it. Battery life is excellent. The camera is very fast, it is ready to use immediately after you turn it on.
Image quality is very good, but not as good as I expected. The sensor noise is noticable at ISO 800+. The built in flash is marginal. However, with my external flash the output is superb.

Okay, we all know managers are starting to evaluate their players. Who stinks, who is tearing it up, and who was a complete waste of money. The Giants are in a really good position right now. They have really good clubhouse chemistry and cheap guys like Uribe, Burrell, and Huff who are really a big steal. So I am going to do a kind of evaluation myself and present what is best for the Giants to win the West and eventually fare well in the playoffs.
Okay, the catchers. Bengie, Eli, and Buster. First of all, Bengie's time is up. He is brutal right now. First, he is struggling with the stick, second he can't run for his life and all the infielders have to do is knock the ball down and he is out. It is very frustrating. Third, he is not the catcher he used to be. He is lazy. He tries to always chicken wing the ball by trying to catch a ball to his left by not flipping the glove over so he can catch it easier. I have seen that happen much to mant times here. Don't get me wrong though, Bengie was a good Giant but it is his time to go. Eli is showing he can hit and Buster is a great young talent.
Pitchers. Usually the Giants strong point but they are not living completely up to their expectations this season. Lincecum needs to get a little more on track and stop walking people. Zito is awesome. Cain keeps getting tough luck but I love the way he pitches. Sanchez has trouble with walks. The only problem is the five spot where the Giants should pick up an experienced hurler like Pedro Martinez. The bullpen is solid. Wilson is dynamite. Mota was a good pickup. The only disappointment is Affeldt. He needs to bring that 5.64 down though.
The infield. Where most of the pop comes from. Huff is amazing. The best pickup of the year so far. Freddy is great since he has come back from the DL and Uribe is great too. Renteria is back but I don't know how the Giants will put both in the lineup. The Panda is having an un panda like year but he will come along. I don't know what will happen with Posey.
The outfield. It has been crazy this year. Torres has really come around. He is so energetic. Fast with pop. Burrell has been a great pickup too. We should try and get Posey to play some outfield so we can get him in the lineup.

Mississippi Taking Part in Study Tracking Children from Birth to Age 21By Daniel Cherry | Published 07 Mar 2011 12:17pm |
Mississippi is one of several sites to take part in the largest long-term study of children's health ever conducted in the United States. It kicked off yesterday in Hinds County and MPB's Daniel Cherry reports on how the program is going to be conducted.
The National Children's Study asks expecting mothers to volunteer for the project which will follow a child from before birth until they are 21 years old. The center of operations in Mississippi is based in the University of Mississippi Medical Center ...It's one of more than 100 similar locations nationwide Dr. Sharon Wyatt is the Principal Investigator at the Hinds County study location. She says Mississippi has a lot to gain from the study.
"It is crucial that Mississippi has the opportunity to tell our story, and to learn the factors that go into health situations here to help us improve our health as well."
The purpose of the study is to follow one hundred thousand children in their environments and examine factors influencing health like diet, air, water, dust and how often they go to the doctor. Mississippi is currently only taking 100 volunteers, but next year will expand to over one thousand. Professor of Pediatrics Dr. Bev Evans says having this information compiled is going to make strides in narrowing down solutions to health concerns.
"To find one individual with a problem you think was caused by this may not be applicable to the entire population, but when you study 100,000 children, you'll be able to come up with statistically meaningful, epidemiological data."
Dr. Evans says many health issues later in life are determined when a child is in the womb...that's why it's important to identify the triggers. Maggie Wade Dixon is the chair of the Community Advisory Board for the local study location. She says Mississippi is a fertile ground for making advances in health care.
"Every time you hear the national studies about health in this state, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, Mississippi is always at the top for having problems. We don't want this to be about problems. We want this to be about solutions."
Anyone wishing to volunteer for the study can go online to www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov. Daniel Cherry...MPB News.

I haven't bouldered much in the past but I'm doing more of it now to get stronger. The problem I'm running into is that my warm-ups aren't sufficiently long and I usually have to end a session after about 45 minutes with a devastating flash-pump. What I'm bouldering - flashing all V4s, taking 3 or 4 tries on most V5s, projecting V6s. I'll usually warm up with 1 V1, 1 V2, 2 V3s, and a V4. Should I be spending longer on my warm-ups? Do I need to spend about 20 minutes just climbing and downclimbing the V0s and V1s? I'm sure I can figure it out on my own; I just want to know what works best for y'all.
I'm no physiology expert, but I find that climbing the bigger holds don't get me sufficiently warmed up. Generally, 100 climbing moves is the minimum before I jump on something close to or at my limit, particularly if the holds are small and tweaky. If you are at a location where there are not many moderates, I will do a combination of things. Jumping jacks to get blood flowing. Clenching my fists tighter with each breath for 5 - 7 breaths. Pretending to flick water off my hands (Horst's conditioning for climbing exercise). Even grabbing a crimp on the wall while fully weighted on the ground to emulate climbing. If you are getting flashed pump, maybe you are getting on problems that are too long?

The Bristol County District Attorney's office has charged 20-year-old Brandyn LePage with the murder of 31-year-old Aja Pascual. Pascual was found shot to death inside her car on Cherry St. in Fall River back on September 29th. She was shot in the head in broad daylight; her car was still running.
"We will allege in this case that Mr. LePage met with Miss Pascual inside her vehicle on Cherry Street to conduct a drug transaction. At some point during the transaction we allege Mr. LePage shot Miss Pascual at close range and robbed her," said Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter.
Investigators say phone records led police to LePage. They say LePage had called Pascual numerous times prior to the shooting. While executing a search warrant a .38 caliber gun was also recovered. One round had been fired. Police also found clothing with blood on it. They say the DNA evidence matches both the victim and the suspect.
LePage was arrested on charges of misleading investigators and weapons charges back in early October. He was arraigned on those charges and held on $50,000.
"If you commit a crime in the city of Fall River we will catch you. We will arrest you. We will charge you, and we will bring you before the courts of this Commonwealth," said Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan.
LePage will be arraigned on murder and armed robbery charges at a later date.
During the press conference the Bristol County DA's Office boasting an all time high 'solve' rate. In 2012 100% of homicides in that county have resulted in arrest. The national average is around 57%.

Product DescriptionThe Connelly Carbon V is hands down the best 34 mph ski on the market. A super light density foam core is wrapped with 70% carbon to give the ski a light, fast feel on the water. The carbon provides stiffness that delivers unreal speed out of the turn. Six V-shaped steps are molded into the hull of the Carbon V ski for more efficient water flow. The steps create less wetted surface area, which means a faster, freer ride on the water. A narrow tail lets this slalom ski sit deep in the turns, while a slightly wider tip provides surface area for a smooth non-critical turn. The Connelly Carbon V is smooth and fast, exactly what tournament-level 34 mph skiers are looking for - which is a wide, early, and forgiving construction. CAPT construction with carbon/fiberglass composite, closed-cell polyurethane resin core, and hand-tuned Acrylam base. Profile Tech top. Viper Fin System with foil. Talon Bindings are interchangeable on the ski for a shoe-like fit.
