Daily Press Summary
Cameron: Europe "is an issue to deal with in the next parliament, under a majority Conservative government"
Writing in the Sunday Times, David Cameron argued in favour of continuing the Coalition but noted that there are "profound areas of disagreement". "On Europe, for instance, we British need a fresh settlement — and a fresh mandate. Work on that can begin now but it is an issue to deal with in the next parliament, under a majority Conservative government," he wrote. In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, former Defence Secretary Liam Fox said that the "aiming point" of a renegotiation of the UK's EU membership should be "as loose a union as we can possibly get."
Canadian news magazine MacLeans quotes Open Europe Director Mats Persson as saying that the eurozone is looking to integrate further at "exactly the same point that the UK public is growing increasingly sceptical of EU membership." The UK, he argues, should therefore seek a new relationship with the EU that preserves the single market but returns powers to Britain. Dutch magazine Trouw quotes Mats as saying that seeking a Norway-style deal with the EU would mean that the UK would have to accept just as much regulation in areas like employment law but without the ability to influence or vote on EU legislation. Meanwhile, talking to Le Figaro, Mats welcomed the Government's planned audit of EU powers.

Merkel to rely on opposition to pass Spanish bailout in Bundestag
German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday said she was confident of obtaining a majority in the Bundesatg in Thursday's vote on ratifying the Spanish bailout, although due to dissent in the ranks of her coalition, she will need to rely on support from the opposition.
Separately, Spanish daily ABC reports that the Spanish bank bailout loans will have an interest rate of 2.5%, but fails to mention any sources for the information. Open Europe's blog post analysing a confidential EFSF briefing laying down a proposed timeline for the Spanish bank bailout was quoted by Saturday's Telegraph.

WSJ: ECB performs U-turn on imposing losses on senior bank bondholders
The WSJ reports that the ECB has shifted its stance on imposing losses on senior bank bondholders, with it now supporting such action in the case of bank wind downs. The new position was reportedly presented by ECB President Mario Draghi to eurozone finance ministers at their meeting on the 9 July, but was roundly rejected because it would require a complex re-negotiation of the Irish bailout. Another article in the WSJ notes that ECB lending to Spanish banks reached a record high of €365bn in June.

Writing in Handelsblatt, Professor Henkel comments that the questions put to him at the event by the audience of "politicians, journalists, business leaders, economists and British citizens" offered a different perspective on the eurozone crisis than in the German media.

In an interview with Il Corriere della Sera, Italian Economy Minister Vittorio Grilli said that "a feasible way" to reduce Italy's public debt would be "to guarantee, via a multi-annual plan, the sale of state assets worth €15-20bn a year, equivalent to 1% [of Italy's] GDP."

McALLEN - The federal government has plans to turn an empty warehouse in McAllen into a processing facility for unaccompanied children.
The city of McAllen revealed construction permits for four fence-enclosed pods inside the warehouse.
The warehouse is less than a mile from the current Border Patrol station. Once renovations of the building are complete, the new processing center will be able to accommodate about 1,000 children at a time.
The young illegal immigrants will be held there while agents process them. They would later be transported to a separate location.
The Border Patrol station in McAllen is only designed to house about 430 people. At any given time it has approximately 1,000.
Officials with the city of McAllen said they are willing to expedite the permit process to help Border Patrol find more workspace.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - A badger wandered into a bottled water store in northern Nevada, dodged a tranquilizer dart and held authorities at bay for about an hour before the teeth-baring critter was lured into a cage with cat food.
Nevada Department of Wildlife spokesman Chris Healy says the badger apparently entered an open door at the Fresca Waterstore in a neighborhood near Sparks High School about 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The store was emptied and no one was hurt during the standoff with a game warden and local animal control officers.
Healy says badgers are more common in Nevada than people think but it's the first time he recalls having to capture one in his 27 years at the agency.
The animal later was released into the wild on Peavine Mountain north of Reno.

Tony La Russa's moves pay off as Cardinals win Series opener
By BEN WALKER Associated Press October 19, 2011 10:58PM
Article Extras
Updated: October 20, 2011 6:00AM
ST. LOUIS — Nobody plays a hunch like Tony La Russa. Not this October, anyway.
The St. Louis manager once again looked like a genius, especially when Allen Craig pinch-hit for ace Chris Carpenter and delivered a go-ahead single that sent the Cardinals past the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Wednesday night in the World Series opener.
Craig's slicing hit in the sixth inning fell inches in front of sliding right fielder Nelson Cruz. Game 1 was just that tight throughout a cold, damp evening.
"Man, he's tough," Craig said of hard-throwing reliever Alexi Ogando. "He came right at me with fastballs, and I missed the first two. Then that last one I was trying to get the barrel on it, make the defense make a play. Fortunate, kept it fair, and Cruz made a great attempt on that. It was a great play all-around."
It was a game perfectly suited for the National League style — lots of bunts, intentional walks and pitching changes. And in a postseason in which he's made all the right moves, the 67-year-old La Russa was at the top of his game.
After pulling Carpenter, La Russa coaxed three scoreless innings from his deep bullpen. Five relievers did the job, with Jason Motte closing for his fifth save of the postseason.
A day earlier, Texas manager Ron Washington joked, "I don't think I can ever live up to matching wits with Tony La Russa." Who can, these days?
The Cardinals even won without their Rally Squirrel. There were no sightings of the elusive critter still roaming Busch Stadium — good thing for the rodent, too, because La Russa probably would've devised a way to catch him.
Game 2 is Thursday night, with Jaime Garcia starting for the Cards against Colby Lewis. Texas has not lost two straight games since August.
This was the first time Texas had ever played in St. Louis. Yet Josh Hamilton, Cruz and the big-hitting Rangers looked a lot like the team that fizzled at the plate in last year's World Series against San Francisco.
Each team wound up with six hits. The wild-card Cardinals just did more with them.
Lance Berkman put St. Louis ahead with a two-run single in the fourth. Mike Napoli tied it with a two-run homer in the fifth.
Carpenter earned his eighth postseason win, breaking the team record he shared with Bob Gibson. Of course, all of Gibby's victories came in the World Series.
"Carp, he did what he usually does," Craig said. "He was our leader out there tonight. "Went out there and threw strikes, got early outs, and he led us tonight. It was great."
Carpenter helped himself with a nifty play in the first inning, diving to catch a toss from first baseman Albert Pujols and tagging the bag with his glove. He didn't argue when La Russa removed him — all the Cards know too well to doubt La Russa's smarts.
Cardinals relievers Fernando Salas, Marc Rzepczynski, Octavio Dotel, Arthur Rhodes and Motte finished.
C.J. Wilson fell to 0-5 in his last seven postseason starts, dating to last year.
The Texas lefty recently spent 2½ minutes in a Dallas cryotherapy chamber, where liquid nitrogen lowered the temperature to 295 degrees below zero trying to speed body recovery. It was a bit warmer at the ballpark, at 49 degrees for the first pitch.
Wilson became the first pitcher to lose an All-Star game, an AL division series game, an AL championship series game and a World Series game in the same year, STATS LLC said.
In a postseason where St. Louis and Texas starters have struggled, Carpenter and Wilson each pitched well enough. They both left in the bottom of the sixth when the managerial wheels started to spin.
It was 2-all when the Rangers pitched around eighth-place hitter Nick Punto with a four-pitch walk that put runners at the corners with two outs. La Russa did not hesitate and pulled Carpenter, sending up the versatile Craig.
Washington countered, yanking Wilson and bringing in Ogando. All the pieces in place, it was time to play — and what followed was the play of the game.
Craig swung through two fastballs, then hit a slicing drive toward the right field line. Cruz tried to make a sliding catch, except the ball bounced just before it reached him and thudded off his left leg for an RBI single. The hit scored NL championship series MVP David Freese, the St. Louis area prep star who led off with a double.
Napoli kept up his season of slugging, hitting a two-run homer in the fifth that made it 2-all. He had come into the game 3 for 3 lifetime against Carpenter and had been the only Texas hitter to homer off him, but he bounced into a double play with two runners on his first time up. He avenged that with an opposite-field drive to right.
Traded twice within a week last winter, Napoli blossomed in Texas, prompting Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon to pronounced it "The Year of the Napoli" during the AL playoffs.
The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead in the fourth after Pujols hit — or was hit by pitch, more precisely. The St. Louis star was plunked on the lower left leg to start the inning, Matt Holliday sliced a double and Berkman chopped a two-run single down the first base line.
Players, umpires and techs needed a little time to work out the kinks.
Freese saw Ian Kinsler's leadoff grounder glance off his glove at third base for a single, and stared at the glove that betrayed him. The next inning, Adrian Beltre doubled off Freese's leather.
Third base umpire Ron Kulpa missed his first call in a Series. He ruled Beltre caught Pujols' liner to third when the ball actually bounced in the opening inning.
And there was a glitch when "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery started to sing the national anthem. The microphone didn't work and he got a replacement. The delay came with Michelle Obama and Jill Biden standing on the mound to honor military veterans. The first lady's husband stood in the same place to throw out the first ball at the 2009 All-Star game.

Written by Michael Florio Thursday, 12 September 2013 00:00
Sewanhaka High School Indians' varsity football head coach, George Kasimatis, has one expectation this season: get better every week.
"We have to improve on our skill sets," said Kasimatis. "Every practice, every rep, will make us better. If you get better every time, things should take care of themselves."
The strength of the team lies in the wide receiver positions, led by seniors Mahlik Elliott and Jacques Francois. However, this season Kasimatis wants to the Indians to become more versatile.
"We were a pass-first team last season. We are concentrating now on stopping the run and becoming a more run-oriented team," Kasimatis said.
A big part of the run game will rely on senior running back Deante Gonzalez. Kasimatis also expects Gonzalez to be what he wants all his seniors to be: a leader.
Coming off a disappointing 2012, Kasimatis will rely on experience this season.
"We have a lot of guys coming back [from last year's team] and playing better football," he said. "We played some of our best football at the end of the year last season." The expectation is that this experience will lead to better line play, tighter defense and stronger special teams.
Even though wide receiver is the strength of this team according to Kasimatis, a big part of that relies on who is throwing them the ball. There is a quarterback competition between senior Jake Mellen and sophomore Elijah Tracy. Neither will gain an advantage until coaches look at scrimmage tape, a precursor to live play.
"At practice everything is controlled," said Kasimatis. "When the pressure is on [during scrimmages] we will see who emerges. When we review film, we will see a lot."
As for the defense, they will focus on being strong up front and stopping the run. They will be led by senior lineman Jemil Are and middle linebacker Tyler Regnier.
"We have to play hard on every single snap and get 11 guys to the ball," said defensive coach Nick Rawls. "We want to force some turnovers."
Kasimatis is hoping the offseason workout program will lead to a more physical team on the field. "We have to focus on the little things, blocking and tackling," he said. "A big weakness of ours last year was we weren't physical or dedicated enough."
The Indians face a tough schedule this year.
"Every game is crucial. We are playing in a 12-team conference and if you lose a game you can be out," said Kasimatis. "Everybody is going to be tough."
The Indians open up the season Sept. 12 at Lynbrook.

Nov 3, 2013, 04.35 PMby Oksana Starzhynska
Very nice! I must confess that I only like this pattern in the projects not in the magazine. The dress hugs you very nice and red colour is the sexiest ever. It undoubtly suits you in everything: in colour, in pattern, and in great fitting! I agree with the girls that it's something wrong with pictures here but I think maybe they enhance them automatically so they got this dark contrast.
Nov 4, 2013, 09.14 AMby Brahdelt
Thank you! I think the magazine used too thick fabric and the dress is too stiff! My collar is softly flowing and Burda's is standing upright like an armour…
I wish Burda stopped whatever they're doing with the photos… Projects look strange, some of them aren't even visible after their light enhancements!

what's hilarious to me is that there are numerous college football scandals. and all those guys come into the nfl at some point and we are just supposed to believe that there are no cheating scandals at this level. it's absurd.
Russ Brandon: The reason the Bills suck year after year
There is a bit of a scandal right now with it having been revealed that USC has been underinflating game balls just a bit. The assumption that's been made is that this was due to Barkley having small hands. The underinflated balls make it easier for someone with smaller hands to grip the ball. If true, this is a significant red flag, one he may end up having in common with Claussen. The combine is going to be critical for Barkley. Now Tannehill's hands are a bit on the small side too, and he's doing pretty well with Miami. Teams are going to have to pay very close attention to Barkley, however.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
A wise man doesn't waste effort telling the world he's wise. If it's true, it will be self-evident.
I would still take a chance on Barkley over starting Fitz another year.

7 - (222): Chris Gragg, TE, Arkansas
The league is loaded from top to bottom in O-line talent, and Defensive talent. There is nothing overrated about the SEC. The dominance of the SEC over the rest of college football is pretty real.
As to Alabama, they lost to another SEC team. In fact the last few years i think 'bama's only losses have been in conference. That's just how strong the conference is. This year the disparity is particularly bad.
well, it was a nice run. would have been nice if a game around thanksgiving meant something for a change. but it looks like we aren't making the playoffs (again)
anyone who says the SEC is overrated is either from the North, or doesn't follow college ball.

Government agency disputes corruption report
06/12/2012 - Secretary of the National Council for Transparency against Corrrupcion Abigail Benzadón today disputed the results of an internation report that concluded that Panama has been stagnant in its fight against corruption.
The report, published by Transparency International, said that the perception of corruption has remained unchanged in Panama.
Benzadón said that the report does not include an analysis of any hard data and that "there are no statistics behind its findings."
She said that Panama has made substantial strides in the fight against corruption in recent years.
But Mariela Arce, of the Social Studies Center of Panama, claimed that Panama has significantly regressed in the area of transparency.
Arce said that the work carried out by the National Council of Transparency has not been very visible to the public.
Aníbal Culiolis, vice president of the Partido Popular, said that the government has done very little to promote transparency and the fight against corruption.

After months of trouble keeping his phosphorus levels within a normal range, home hemodialysis (HHD) patient Stanley Bozarth turned to Linda Harte, his DaVita® nurse, for advice. Linda told him it was time to get serious about finding a solution. That's when she told him about the DaVita Health Portal.
"I had my patient whose phosphorus was dangerously high sign up for the DaVita Health Portal. [The increased lab value] was due to possible non-compliance with two different medications."
When patients don't follow, or are non-compliant with, their prescriptions, it can cause abnormal nutrition levels and affect their overall health.
Once some medication changes were made and Stanley was educated about the severity of an abnormal nutrient level, Linda says something suddenly clicked for him to want to do better. Stanley began tracking his lab report on the DaVita Health Portal.
"He called me just as I came to work one day and told me that the new phosphorus results were finally within an acceptable range," she said. "He said he was checking his labs via the DaVita Health Portal every hour until the result was available."
With that kind of access, Linda believes Stanley felt proud that he was able to share the results with her well before she could call him about the great news.
"I think he felt more in control rather than waiting for me to call him," she said. "He has certainly benefitted from this service."
Stanley and other DaVita patients like him are taking control of their kidney care and feeling better, thanks to the DaVita Health Portal. The option to track and share lab results is just one of the portal's features. DaVita patients can also get health records, prescription information, care team contact information and more.
The DaVita Health Portal is part of myDaVita.com, the online resource for kidney care management that offers DaVita Diet Helper™ for easy kidney diet meal planning, access to the DaVita Forums and specialized groups and personalized profiles. Sign up or log into your myDaVita.com account and click on the DaVita Health Portal at the top right.
Start off 2014 right by tracking your progress with the DaVita Health Portal. You too could take control of your kidney health and feel better, just like Stanley.

Haemophilus Influenzae Type B Vaccine
(Hib Vaccine)En Español (Spanish Version)
What Is Hib Disease?
Haemophilus influenzae type B, or Hib, disease is caused by a bacterial infection. It usually strikes children under five years old. Hib disease can lead to meningitis, pneumonia, swelling in the throat, infections, and even death.
People can carry Hib disease bacteria and not know it. These germs can spread from person to person, usually through respiratory droplets from an infected person. When the germs stay in the nose and throat, sickness will probably not occur. But when they spread into the lungs or the bloodstream, they can cause serious problems.
Before the Hib vaccine, severe Hib disease affected about 20,000 children in the United States under five years old, and nearly 1,000 people died each year.
Symptoms include:
- Fever
- Lethargy
- Vomiting
- Stiff neck
- Other symptoms, depending on the part of the body affected
It usually takes less than 10 days after being exposed to Hib disease to develop symptoms.
Hib disease is treated with antibiotics.
What Is the Hib Vaccine?
The Hib vaccine is made from inactivated elements of the bacteria. It is given by injection into the muscle and should be stored in a refrigerator prior to administration.
Who Should Get Vaccinated and When?
Children should get 3-4 doses of the Hib vaccine, at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months of age. Depending on what brand of Hib vaccine they receive, children may or may not need the dose at six months.
Also, if a dose is missed, speak to your child's pediatrician because there are different catch-up schedules depending on the brand and your child's age.*2
This vaccine is not recommended for children over 5 years, although it is sometimes administered to children and adults with special health conditions, such as sickle cell disease, HIV/AIDS, removal of the spleen, bone marrow transplant, or cancer treatment with drugs.
Shortage of Hib Vaccine
On December 13, 2007, Merck announced a voluntary recall of its Hib vaccine due to possible contamination, although no infections have been reported. Because of this recall, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now recommending that parents delay getting their children the standard type B (Hib) vaccine booster at age 12-15 months. The shortage is expected to last into 2008. The initial three doses, though, should be given. Additionally, children at high risk for the disease should continue to receive the booster dose.*1
What Are the Risks Associated With the Hib Vaccine?
Like any vaccine, the Hib vaccine is capable of causing serious problems, such as a severe allergic reaction. While most people do not have any problems with the Hib vaccine, some people experience mild problems, such as redness, warmth, or swelling near the injection site, or fever over 101˚F.
Who Should Not Get Vaccinated?
Most children over the age of five years old don't need to get the Hib vaccine.
Anyone who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to a previous dose of Hib vaccine should not get another dose. Children younger than six weeks should not get the Hib vaccine. Also, people who are moderately or severely ill should wait until they recover to get vaccinated.
What Other Ways Can Hib Disease Be Prevented Besides Vaccination?
Unvaccinated infants and young children who are exposed to a child with Hib disease may be given an antibiotic to prevent the spread of Hib disease.
What Happens in the Event of an Outbreak?
In the event of a Hib disease outbreak, public health officials will determine the population(s) at risk of developing the infection and vaccinate all eligible people with the Hib vaccine.

Configure Firefox 3 to use Gmail as your default email app
Firefox makes it easy to select a default email application like Outlook or Thunderbird. When you click a mailto: link on a web site, that application will automatically open. But with Firefox 3 RC1 you can also choose a webmail application like Yahoo! Mail or Gmail.
Selecting Yahoo! Mail as your default email provider is simple. Just hit the Tools button, select Options, navigate to the Applications tab, and select Yahoo! Mail from the dropdown list next to "mailto." But for some reason, that's the only webmail service included by default. So thanks to Lifehacker, here are the steps to add Gmail:
- Type about:config in the URL bar, and click the I'll be careful button to continue.
- Type gecko.handlerservice into the filter field and find the listing that ends with allowRegisterFromDifferentHost. Click this button to change the value from false to true.
- Copy this line of code into the URL bar:
A window will pop up asking if you want to add GMail, say yes and you should be all set.
Next time you click a mailto: link on a web site, you should get a choice of services to use including Gmail. You can then set Gmail as your preferred email service.

Google Gears up for offline web apps
Google has poked its fingers into the offline web application pie with today's launch of browser add-on Gears. The search engine behemoth marked out clear intentions to enter territory dominated by Microsoft by offering free, open source technology that works without an internet connection. Gears will run online and offline, …
Internet Explorer for Linux ?!
From the Google Gears "Requirements" -
System requirements:
• Linux (details)
• Firefox 1.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+
Google Gears (BETA) is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux
Why on earth would I want to tarnish my shiny Ubuntu box with IE 6.0+ of all things?
an offline word processor that works without the internet?! blimey! and a calendar? this must be some fancy jiggery pokery on a Potteresque scale to accomplish offline data!
Is is just me that remembers all those years ago (the 90s) when data was always offline? it's flippin google that made it online and inaccessible in the first place.
for the record, word has ALWAYS been offline. outlook has pretty much always managed offline email and calendar, and most good rss readers have offline mode too.
well done google, you've "invented" the cache!
the difference, Dave...
...is that it's an *option* to access the data offline. Combined with the option to access such data from anywhere with an internet connection, this is pretty nifty. It removes one of the key advantages desktop apps still have over online apps.
As we all know, Google has always been about the cache............... I expect cries of corporate dominance and unfair competition if Google Apps takes over.............
a back-to-front paradigm
Considering current best practice for application architecture (fat or thin clients invoking middleware business components which access enterprise back end resources), it's just about the most arse-about-face design you could imagine.
Just because you can...
...doesn't mean you should.
It's an interesting concept, I'll grant them that. You /could/ say it's even easier than making a cross-platform offline application that syncs with online data (but that's debatable).
Unfortunately it completely negates the best features of web applications - such as their own Google Maps - which just can't work offline. They're re-inventing the wheel with this one, but perhaps making it slightly more round.
I completely agree dave.
But then again, I was without internet access except at work for 3 weeks until yesterday, and that was hard going. everyone is used to using the web for everything now, and having constant access to it everywhere, so using it for a word processor and stuff makes sense. But the day you find your ADSL provider is upgrading your exchange right when your Boss tells you he needs a report doing by 9am the next morning... Now you dont have to worry.
And another good point. Google started competing with M$ Office, but in a small way. Now there is a full(?) office suite, cross platform, that you dont have to intall. You just use it, anywhere. Free.
So why is anyone going to continue buying M$ orrifice? It makes no sense but they will. Because they always have. But with a bit of luck, this and openoffice etc. will just drag enough market share away from M$ to make them actualy write some good software to get them back....
...nah thats not going to happen.
Offline Word
That Word has always been offline is not reason enough to pay the over the top price for it.
No-one is asking - to what end is Google doing this?
I can't imagine how much money Google has spent developing these applications, only to give them away for free. Why? It can only be in order to mine all the documents created by users for information in order ot gain a commercial advantage somewhere along the line, or to get a critical mass of users involved before charging for the service.
And now Google has plans to become an MVNO, it will have access to just about every form of electronic communication possible. What next, Google Post, Google Fax?
People who use these apps to spite M$ are merely helping to create another monopoly, but one that owns the data as well as the apps.
This has been done before - IBM have a product called DOLS (Domino Offline Services). You place an ActiveX control on your site and when the user clicks on it, a small local webserver is installed and the Domino database is replicated down to the local machine for offline use.

Starting From Seed
By Doug Copp (March 19, 2012)
Many gardeners prefer to start their garden plants from seed rather than purchasing actual plants. The main reasons for starting plants from seed are; more choices of plant variety, lower cost, and better adaptation to your location. While the internet … Continue reading

Scranton Times-Tribune beat writer Chad Jennings checks in to answer questions about pitchers Brian Mazone, Justin Germano and the possibility of adding a third baseman to replace Abraham Nunez.
Beerleaguer: Readers are clamoring for another starter to replace 22-year-old pitcher Scott Mathieson, who doesn't look ready for prime time. Obviously, Brian Mazone's line jumps off the page. Is the 30-year-old left-hander a realistic alternative? He's 11-2 with a 2.05 ERA. And what do you make of Justin Germano since his acquisition?
Chad Jennings: How can anyone deny Mazone at this point? Yes, he's a remarkably unlikely story, but so is Chris Coste and he seems to be working out pretty well. Mazone doesn't have the big fastball like Mathieson, but he changes speeds, commands all four pitches (fastball, change, curve and cutter) and he keeps balls in the park. He has been remarkably consistent and right now he's in line to lead the league in ERA. I think he's worth a look.
As for Justin Germano, he's pitching tonight and that will be just my second time seeing him. (Note: Last night, Germano pitched seven scoreless innings to earn his first win). So far my impression is that he's a solid young pitcher. He could be the answer, but Mazone has been much better this season. Also, Eude Brito is starting to pitch much better, to the point that he's been dominant at times. That said, no one has been better, longer this season than Mazone.
Beerleaguer: Do the Red Barons have an answer at third base? Bobby Scales and Brennan King have good numbers, but do they have the gloves to hold their own in the majors?
Chad Jennings: At third base, King is a better defensive player and has more pop, but Scales is probably a more consistent hitter and he can play second base and the outfield corners, so that's a plus. I think King would have been an interesting option in Philly after the Bell trade, but he's on the DL right now with a sprained ankle and might not be back for at least a week. Regardless of what happens this year, King might have been an off-season steal for the Phillies. This is his first Triple-A season and he's steadily gotten better. Even if he doesn't get a chance this season, he could play a role in the future.
If you're looking for a quick fix, Scales is probably the best bet. I don't think he would do anything overwhelming up there, but I think he would be solid at third base. I keep wondering whether Joe Thurston could play third. I know he has a little bit of time at shortstop, and the Red Barons started him a few times in left field, but if he could play third he might be the wild card option. The guy has a slick glove, good speed and he can hit for average. Plus he has some big league time with the Dodgers. I'm not at all saying the Phillies are going to make that move, but it seems like an interesting option to me.
Chad Jennings covers the Red Barons for the Scranton Times-Tribune. He welcomes e-mail at email@example.com.

The fly half is the pivotal attacking position in the team. With the full compliment of running, passing and kicking skills, they decide what to do and when to do it.
The fly half position on the field is crucial to how they mount an attack; they decide when to run and break through the opposition defence or bring the centres, wings and forwards into play with a variety of passes or kicks.
They are also often responsible for organising the back line defence for set pieces.
They should be a competent kicker out of hand, placing high or diagonal kicks or threading chip or grubber kicks to keep possession and threaten the opposition try line. Also, they may have to make long clearing kicks to 'touch' to relive pressure on their defensive line.
Often the place kicker too, a fly half should be nerveless when they kick for goal.


text: Hello to all of my "Peeps" out there, I hope you had a great Summer. Welcome to the first blog of the season. Expectations for the Bulls are very high this season. Derrick Rose started for the U.S. World Championship team gaining more experience. Joakim Noah's confidence level has risen with the extension of his contract. The Bulls also have the trio of former Utah Jazz members; Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer. New head coach Tom Thibodeau could be looking at three all-stars on his roster with Rose, Noah and Boozer. Enjoy tonight's game on WGN with BullsEye starting at 6:30pm ct.

Forget London; UK Looks to Scotland for Possible Spaceport
We usually turn our attention towards New Mexico when it comes to space travel and space tourism, as that's where Virgin Galactic has been preparing and planning for the last few years. However, there's another spot to add to your space race map; the United Kingdom have their own sky-high dreams and they're focusing them on Scotland.

The UK's Orient-Express Train is Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express for a Limited Time
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios Orlando may be working on building a full-scale Hogwarts Express train, but little do they know one already exists.
Over in the UK, the famously opulent Orient-Express "Northern Belle" train attempts to recreate the Hogwarts Express experience on special kid-friendly departures that include more than just a choo-choo ride; the train actually transports its passengers to and from Hogwarts or, well, the Harry Potter Studio Tour experience outside London, where the movies were filmed.
Curious to see what exactly goes down in the Studio Tour? What a coincidence! We recently visited it ourselves.

London's New $2.5 Billion Airport Terminal Will Be Royally Eco-Friendly
This summer hasn't even officially begun and we're already looking forward to a European trip in 2014, thanks to the opening of the newest and flashiest new airport: Heathrow's Terminal 2. Besides the fresh new airport smell, the building will walk through the halls of The Queen's Terminal, the official name of the modern building.
The countdown is officially on for The Queen's Terminal as we are just under 12 months until the ribbon cutting, with the first passengers arriving on a United flight June 4, 2014. The terminal will hearken back to the airport's history; Queen Elizabeth opened the original building in 1955, just 3 years after she took the throne. Since then, that structure was demolished to make way for a sustainable airport that will grow with the amount of tourists planning to head to the UK and transit through the mega-hub.

It's the End of the Line for Virgin Trains
Forgive the obvious train headline pun.
You wake up and inevitably roll over to check your phone. Emails, Twitter replies (none), and finally Facebook. Based on what you see there, you're going to have your first instinct on calling it a good day or a bad day.
Well, my friends, today's already one of those bad days as the first bit of news we caught was the end of Britain's Virgin Trains. You can read all the details behind the line's impending closure at BusinessWeek, but essentially Virgin Trains rebid to continue running their services on the privatized west coast lineslines they've been running for 15 years at currently 30 million passengers per yearand LOST.
Virgin will continue running until December, when the switch will take place to see Virgin out and UK rail company FirstGroup in. This means the end of slick, red-painted tilting Virgin Pendolinos on routes including London to Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, and Liverpool (our favorite).

Cornwall, How are You So Awesome?
"It takes how long from London?!" is the usual response we get when suggesting that our friends visit Cornwall, Britain's most southwesterly county.
Stuck out into the Atlantic as it is, it's either an hour's flight from Gatwick to Newquay, a five hour day train, or our favorite: the overnight sleeper train that lets you save a night's hotel costs while being rocked to sleep by the clickety-clack of the rails.
Go to bed in London...and wake up on the Cornish Riviera, Britain's version of the Côte d'Azur, with sea, surf, sand andif you're lucky, because it's still the UK, sun.

A Million Dollars Cash is Not Carry-on Friendly
Mo money, mo problems. Sounds like a problem we all wish to have, if at least for a minute.
Even millionaires, billionaires, and trillionairs have cash problems and Christo Wiese is no exception. Back in 2009, South Africa's third wealthiest man ran into some issues with border officials in the UK when he tried to fly from the London to Luxemburg with 3 suitcases full of cash. We're talking full of cash to the tune of the equivalent to $1 million US dollars.

Bye-Bye BMI Baby
We all know that bmi ownership has changed hands from Lufthansa to IAG, the parent company to British Aiways and Iberia. When the merger is complete, bmi will be no more, a casualty in the battle that is the European aviation industry. But first, we bid a fond adieu to bmi's low-cost little brother, bmi baby.
With all the necessary signatures put to paper, IAG is starting to figure out the best way to combine operations and surge to airline dominance. The baby painted planes are the first ones to get the axe and it's all happening very quickly.

Buy This: Time in an Official British Airways Boeing Flight Simulator
Perhaps you have people on your holiday shopping list for whom you completely dread finding gifts...or maybe it's you falling into that category on your loved one's lists. Whatever direction the holiday shopping stress is coming from, British Airways has a solution.
Last week, BA decided to spice up Black Friday and tweeted about gift ideas, like vouchers for the general public to get into their Flight Simulator Experiences.
It all sounds like something right out of the Nieman Marcus Fantasy Gift section in their catalog, with prices to match. Normally reserved for their own flight crews, the simulators are offered to any self-proclaimed aviation geek. Vouchers are available from Ł399 for a 1-hour flight on a Boeing 737-400, to Ł1,347 for a 3-hour flight on a 747-400. Sorry Airbus fans, aircraft options are limited to Boeing only and also include 757-200, 767-300 and 777-200.

Three Tourist Places Where It's Okay to Have Your Kid on a Leash
First things first. Here at Jaunted, we like kids. Hecksome of us even have them! Thus we don't typically advocate the use of kid-leashes because they look stupid, are dehumanizing, and keeping kids in line shouldn't require strapping something around them. On the other hand, we understand their practicality in certain tourism-related settings. Here's the top three places it may be okay to put your kid on a leash:
· At a medieval castle
It was in one of the eight tall turrets at Conwy Castle in Wales that we first noticed the high percentage of little kids on leashes, and for once it all made sense. These turrets have very thin, steep steps. The walkways can be precipitous, not to mention scarily uneven. Parents had prepped for the outing by breaking out the harnesses, and we watched in awe as they easily navigated their way down spiral staircases and around the medieval layout (with a 91' deep well!) knowing their children wouldn't fall into the many abysses at any moment.

Smell the BA, Not BO; British Airways to Introduce Signature Scent on Flights
Are you ready for this? British Airways has just announced that they will soon introduce a "signature brand scent" onto their airplanes, to make flyers think of luxury stores or anywhere other than a metal tube full of passengers with questionable hygiene. How do you prefer your airlinepowder fresh or mountain spring? Finally we can say this: "We like our airlines like we like our deodorants: unscented."
The scent details haven't yet been released, although we're guessing a top note of bacon roll is off the table. Likely Eau de BA will follow in the fresh trend of the scent already found throughout British Airways' Heathrow lounges, that of cut grass and ocean.

The Manchester International Festival: Where Industry and Art (and Bjork) Collide
Manchester is a city of industry, art, and, if you ask certain diehard ManU fans, football. However, it's the juxtaposition between the first two that most vividly colors its landscape. This is the city that birthed both a significant textile boom and Joy Division, each playing a significant role in the development of its social fabric.
Last weekend marked the final days of the Manchester International Festival, a nearly month-long celebration of performing, visual, and pop culture arts set against the city's hardened urban environs. Jaunted took a train northward from London to take in the last of MIF's programming, the highlight being Icelandic songstress Bjork's much-lauded Biophilia show on Saturday evening.
