Nadine Coyle is apparently delaying the reunion of Girls Aloud because of her own solo album, it has been reported.
While other members of the British pop band are keen to start recording together in the near fuure, Nadine is said to be caught up with her own project.
"The Girls are getting frustrated waiting around to see what she is planning to do. There is no way Nadine is going to leave the band - despite the ill feeling, it wouldn't be in her interests to quit," a source tells the Daily Mirror.

This time of year, many people give more thought to exercise and stress relief. Yoga is an obvious answer to both of those concerns, providing benefits to body and mind. To honor the power of yoga, Alima Pure has created our new Yoga Collection to bring calm and balance to your cosmetics bag and morning routine.
These new shades could be called "almost matte" or "semi-shimmery." They are a unique blend of matte and shimmer. In direct light, they look shimmery, on the skin they are matte until you turn your head just so and catch the light. Mesmerizing!
Although these four shades were created to be eyeshadows, you shouldn't hesitate to try Namaste, or even Asana, on the cheeks.
Yoga Class Look:
You'll look polished, but not as if you were too concerned with your appearance!
This delightful set contains our best selling Satin Finishing Powder, Satin Matte Blush and Satin Matte Eyeliner, packaged with the deliciously soft #21 Buff Brush in Alima Pure's newest creation, the Travel Bag! The set is available in two different shade levels and the bag is designed to make airline travel a breeze!
Roughly the size of a large zip-lock, our new bag is both airline-friendly and environmentally-friendly. It is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), which is manufactured without creating toxic by-products and will biodegrade in a landfill in four years instead of 400. Because it is clear, you can stow all of your 1 oz. liquids in this handy bag for airline travel, rather than using yet another zip-lock. You'll feel much more enviro-chic presenting it to the baggage screeners!
Because it contains three of our best-selling shades, this set is an excellent way to introduce those you care about to Alima Pure. The Light set contains Keiko Satin Finishing Powder, Mimosa Satin Matte Blush and Espresso Satin Matte Eyeliner, and is suitable for those with light-to-medium skin. The Tan set contains Hanae Satin Finishing Powder, Antique Rose Satin Matte Blush and Espresso Satin Matte Eyeliner, and works for those with medium-to-tan skin. Both sets include the #21 Buff Brush and Travel Bag.
The set is valued at $74, but is yours for only $57.
As is our custom, orders placed in December have a little something extra tucked inside, a thank you from Alima Pure to all of our wonderful customers. This year, the token of our appreciation is a double-stacked, deluxe sample-sized blush duo that we've affectionately named "Sweet Cheeks." This darling duo is made up of two Limited Edition shades that will only be available for a month, and are guaranteed to bring a warm glow to your holiday makeup!

Reward offered in cat-drowning case

"The Peninsula Humane Society is now offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in an animal cruelty case."
"The PHS was initially offering a $1,000 reward to help find the person responsible for the crime.
A resident who learned of the incident pledged to give an additional $250 to the reward this morning and the owner of the Swingin' Door Pub in San Mateo offered an additional $1,000, bringing the reward to $2,250"
$2,250 or $2,500?
If $2,500, where is the other $250 coming from, please?

Do the math..............
It will come from other PITOWNERS, like the one that killed my cat who was pregnant with 9 babies.
a resident of Menlo Park: Menlo Oaks

Something is wrong here. Why has this cat not reported reported as missing by its owners? The Humane Society is the first place I would report my declawed cat with no ID -- I would be worried sick. Could it be this aging cat was sick and this was the solution? Very sad thought but hard to believe there is no clue to whom it belonged. :(
a resident of another community
on Nov 4, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Or the owner let it go due to age and/or illness & some sicko found the poor thing and did this.
I hope the reward encourages people to come forward.
Catlover, your comment's been flagged. It's off topic. This isn't about you or dogs or what happened in your life.
a resident of Menlo Park: Menlo Oaks
on Nov 4, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Hmmm -- you could be right. But in either case it is animal cruelty to free or not report the loss of a defenseless, clawless old cat. The owners should be found and penalized.

on Nov 4, 2011 at 4:43 pm
Good points, Animal Lover.
We had a neighbor who dumped their declawed cat. They were in training to try out for the Olympics, well educated people, employed - they had no excuse. Another neighbor rescued the cat. I ran into one of cat's previous owners & shamed him. Now that felt good!

@Catlover - I'm sorry that a pit owner killed your cat. I'm even sorrier for the cat that you impregnated.

Investigators say that children playing with fireworks might have been responsible for a house fire in Elkhorn Friday afternoon.
Battalion Chief Chris Newton tells us that children in the neighborhood set off fireworks that landed on top of a neighbor's roof.
The owners were in the house at the time but no one was hurt.
Fire officials say neighbors immediately notified the fire and police departments.
Omaha fire officials took the opportunity to remind people to use caution with using fireworks and pay attention to the direction of the wind.

23 February 2011
The School of Bioscience's International Scientific Advisory Board has met for the first time, carrying out an in-depth study of the School and making recommendations for its future.
The Advisory Board consists of nine leading academics from around the world, representing the fields of study covered by the School.
The Board's three-day visit began with a day-long symposium Frontiers in Biological Sciences at Amgueddfa Cymru- National Museum Wales. All the Board members gave presentations, along with representatives of all the School's research divisions about their latest studies.
The Board then spent two days touring the School and interviewing a large number of staff. They gave a preliminary oral report about their findings at the end of the visit and will follow this up with a formal written report. This will be particularly relevant to the School's preparations for its Research Excellence Framework (REF) submissions.
Professor Kim Barrett of the University of California, San Diego, who chairs the Board, said: "The Board were very impressed with the range of investigation into Biological Sciences, the productivity of the faculty, the enthusiasm of the students, and the impact the research outcomes are having across the scientific world and the broader community. The symposium was also a marvellous event, which really showcased some outstanding work by members of the School."
Some of the Board Members were seeing the School for the first time. Professor Jim Tiedje, member of the US National Academy of Sciences and Director of the Centre for Microbial Ecology at Michigan State University, said: "In the Organisms and Environment Division, I found very effective use of molecular science in ecological research that really puts this School at the forefront internationally. That kind of activity has the potential to build our understanding of the impact of climate change and other environmental challenges."
Professor Michel Lazdunski, member of l'Academie des Sciences (France) and founder of the CNRS Institute of Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology in Sophia Antipolis, who was an international member of the Life Science Main Panel in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, said: "I have been impressed by the number and diversity of disciplines in the School and by the scientific activity of many of the research teams. I have also been impressed, but not surprised, by the remarkable organization of the event. Ole Petersen clearly has already done very much, in a few months, to reorganize the school and to introduce a new spirit."
The Director of the School, Professor Ole Petersen FRS said: "We are extremely grateful that such a distinguished panel from around the world were able to join us for three days. The advice they have given us is extremely valuable and we shall be taking their ideas forward, particularly as we build up to the REF."
The other members of the International Scientific Advisory Board are:
Professor Anders Björklund, University of Lund, SwedenProfessor Ole Krishtal, Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology, Kiev, UkraineProfessor John Heath, University of BirminghamProfessor Dame Louise Johnson FRS, University of OxfordProfessor Arthur Konnerth, Technical University MunichProfessor Charles Godfray FRS, University of Oxford

A bruised fingernail or toenail is usually the result of a direct hit to the nail, for example a concrete block dropped on the toe or a hammer slammed down on the thumbnail. When a toenail or fingernail receives direct, forceful trauma blood can gather between the nail bed and the finger or toe nail itself.
Some people refer to this incident as a blood blister under nails. However, the more accurate term is a subungual hematoma. Pooling blood under toenail or fingernails can be intensely painful because of the pressure that builds between the nail and nailbed.
A bruised fingernail that is left untreated can take a very long time to resolve. Most black toenails and black fingernail discoloration is the result of old blood under bruised nails.
The painful pressure and fingernail discoloration caused by blood building up under the nail can be relieved using a fairly simple procedure. Any primary care physician can do this in his or her office.
Before we get to the actual procedure, all individuals should be aware of contraindications to the technique used to release a blood blister under fingernails or toenails. These include:
-crushed or fractured nail bed
-bruising (hematomas) covering more than 50% of the nail. Blood under most of the nail may mean that the nail bed has sustained a cut and should be repaired in order to avoid fingernail deformities. Other physicians recommend leaving the nail in place so that it can act a splint for the damaged nail bed. Although in this case, fingernail deformities remain a possibility.
Procedure to remove blood blister under toenail, thumbnail or fingernail:
1. Gather the required equipment: Bunsen burner or alcohol lamp, metal paper clip, forceps or hemostat
2. Wash the affected finger or toe with an antibacterial soap. Wash the digit thoroughly in order to decrease the likelihood of infection.
3. Use the paperclip to make a small hole in the nail. This is done by partially straightening the paperclip. The part of the paperclip that wasn't straightened is then grasped with the forceps or hemostats. Heat the paperclip in the flame. Then place the heated paperclip firmly against the bruised nail until the hole goes completely through the nail. The ideal hole size is 1 to 2 mm.
For the next 12 hours, the finger or toe requires a bit of special attention. After the blood is released from beneath the bruised fingernail or toenail, the nail should be elevated. A bandaid or small piece of gauze can be placed over the hole in the nail. Cool compresses can then be used against the nail to help relieve any discomfort.

Only one thing I know about combines: They do a nice job of harvesting crops.
Other than that ... well, suffice it to say the NFL combine reveals far more about the inner psychosis of organizations terrified of making a mistake in a high-stakes industry than it does about the players they're evaluating.
Case in point: Manti Te'o.
Everyone but him, judging from the questions he got at his news conference over the weekend, has moved past the strange fake-girlfriend episode that hoodwinked Te'o. There was much speculation as to how it would affect his draft status, even though A) even the smartest people get scammed all the time here in the internet age, and B) his gullibility in this episode has absolutely zero bearing on his football IQ.
Which, by the way, remains high. All you need is game tape and a working set of eyeballs to know that.
Of course, now that he's run a pedestrian 4.8 40 and fared little better in the other combine drills, there are other questions. And I'm starting to get the odd feeling that this is one of those situations where a lot of NFL general managers are going to over-think the situation, and Te'o's going to wind up with, oh, I don't know, the New England Patriots, say.
Where, put in the right situations, he'll end up having a solid career with perhaps a couple of Pro Bowl appearances thrown in. And everyone will wonder, "How did we miss on this guy?"

ISIS gains control of key infrastructure in Iraq
ISIS militants in Iraq have managed to gain control of a key piece of infrastructure in the country, the Mosul Dam. It's not the first time the group has taken over a supply of water, electricity, or oil.
It's likely they will attempt to extort Iraqis in the area, who rely on the dam for water and power. ISIS has shown a "great ability to be self-supporting and self-financing and a great ability to carry out extortion schemes," says Tim Arango, the Baghdad Bureau Chief for the New York Times.
The worry is that ISIS could open the Mosul Dam and flood the area, as they did with the Fallujah Dam earlier this year. Arango says it will probably be difficult to retake the dam, since the structure itself is very fragile. It's unclear if ISIS has the "capability to maintain it."
"A very small crack in that dam could just start the water flowing."
Listen to the full conversation in the audio player above.
Money can buy you happiness... sort of
What if the key to happiness lay in numbers?
Or more specifically, economics. On its face, that seems fairly nuts. Our joyous memories are generally about people or feelings: a night of dancing with abandon, a hug from a child, the certainty of helping another person.
The search for happiness has bedeviled generations of lovers, writers; even the founders of our country of course who took only a swipe at its pursuit – not attainment – in our Declaration of Independence.
And yet, we buy, inserting money into this equation.
For the essentials: shelter, food, security for our families.
The more frivolous things. To fill a need, perhaps? The post-breakup pair of shoes. The clichéd mid-life crisis sports car.
I've been reading some economic research on happiness that my friend Jim Tankersley turned me on to. Richard Easterlin, a professor at the University of Southern California, examined research on money, psychology, and contentment.
Back in the 1960s, a social psychologist named Hadley Cantril asked people what they would need "for their lives to be completely happy," Easterlin writes. And pretty much everywhere, no matter their circumstances or culture, people ranked their level of living first, then the desire for a happy family life.
Easterlin goes on to cite studies showing that married people tend, on average, to be happier than single ones (debate away, as needed).
And then comes the part that really intrigues me: our measure of happiness isn't fixed. It depends on our neighbor's.
So while research showed that people with a higher income tend to report being happier, that didn't hold up over a whole life.
"Indeed, if happiness and income are compared at any point in time," Easterlin writes, "those with more income are, on average, happier than those with less. But what happens to happiness as income goes up over the life cycle – does happiness go up too? The answer is no; on average, there is no change.
So what's going on? Well, we're doing everything our mothers told us not to, and comparing ourselves to our other people. No matter how well we do, if it's not better than everyone around us, we don't feel like we're attaining something, because our internal norms are changing. And p.s., Easterlin says it makes us kinda Grinchy: "The subversive effect of rising internal norms also explains why people think that over the life course more money will make them happier, when, in fact, it doesn't."
So what to do?
Awhile back, I interviewed a psychologist, Ryan Howell, about this paradox.
Here's the trick: spend on experiences, not things.
There is a reason that mental snapshot of your last vacation brings you so much joy. The "buy high" you have from a physical thing? It doesn't go away if you're investing in adventures, connections and people. Year after year, you can unpack those memories and savor them.
Et voila! Money just bought you happiness.
Maybe the dismal science is good for something.
Luring talent with more than just a basketball
The NCAA has voted to give schools with the biggest sports programs more leeway to lure talent. The move will affect the five biggest conferences: the Atlantic Coast, Southeastern, Pacific 12, Big Ten and Big 12 conferences.
If finalized, the conferences "will receive the power to raise the value of scholarships, improve health insurance, allow players to consult agents and more," according to the New York Times. For more on what this decision could mean, we spoke to Andrew Zimbalist, an economics professor at Smith College who follows the business of sports.

What you should know about the changes to credit scores
FICO, the nation's leading provider of those all-important credit scores that so many Americans can feel they have tattooed to their backs, has announced it is changing the formula it uses to score credit. The changes could boost the scores of tens of millions of Americans.
Here are a few things to know about the changes:
Exactly what is FICO changing?
There are two main changes. One is that FICO will stop docking people for being overdue on a payment, as long as they have ultimately paid the bill or settled with a collection agency. Until now, having a collection on your record — even if your balance was at zero — could impact your credit score as much as a foreclosure or a bankruptcy.
The second change will be good news to people with medical debt, which is about 40 percent of Americans. FICO says it will start giving less weight in its credit scoring formula to unpaid medical bills that are with a collection agency.
So how could these changes affect my ability to borrow?
FICO's goal is to boost lending without creating more risk. Since the recession, it has been hard to get a loan without fairly spotless credit. These new changes could boost certain scores by as much as 100 points, meaning if you have an otherwise good credit record aside from the above issues, you might qualify for a loan you wouldn't have before, or at least for a lower interest rate.
When do the changes go in to effect?
FICO says they will offer the new credit score formulas to credit bureaus in the fall and to lenders by the end of the year. But just because the new formulas are available doesn't mean they will be used. FICO rolls out new scoring formulas every few years, and it takes a while for many lenders to adopt the newest versions.
Beyond that, even though FICO has changed its approach to unpaid medical bills and debts that have been resolved with collections agencies, those events won't disappear from your record altogether. Lenders will still be able to see them on your credit report for up to seven years, and can still decide they are a sign of risk.
What are the pros and cons of FICO's new approach?
Any loosening of credit standards raises worries in some corners, that it could leave lenders open to more risk or entice borrowers deeper in to debt. FICO doesn't think so. But we'll have to see.
If the company is wrong, it could undermine the credibility of their credit scores.
John Ulzheimer, a credit expert at credit education website Credit Sesame and a former manager at FICO, says what is certain is that FICO carefully considered the changes. "The only reason someone like FICO is going to make this type of drastic change to their scoring system is because the science behind it supports the change," he says. "As time changes, different data elements on a credit report are tested to make sure they're still predictive of elevated risk."
For example, as medical expenses have risen sharply in the last few decades, FICO may have found that medical debt is no longer a good predictor of elevated risk.
If FICO is right, and the new scoring system raises credit scores for tens of millions of Americans without opening lenders up to more risk, it could have positive ripple effects on the economy. Part of the slow recovery has been due to tight credit. More people qualifying for loans could create useful momentum.
And don't forget how powerful credit scores have become in our lives. Credit card companies and banks look at them, but so do potential landlords and even potential employers.
Making online education more like iTunes
As MIT sees it, education is a lot like the record business used to be: still producing albums, when people would rather download songs one at a time.
To put it another way, instead of offering semester-long classes, professors need to start offering individual lessons and letting students pick which ones they want.
"The very notion of a 'class' may be outdated," says a new report from an MIT task force on the future of the school. "Much like a playlist on iTunes, a student could pick and choose the elements of a calculus or a biology course offered across [MIT's online platform] to meet his or her needs."
The report notes that 25 percent of professors and 40 percent of students believe classes could benefit from this "modular" approach.
MIT is not the only school thinking this way. The University of Wisconsin began offering MOOCs this year that offer shorter, more narrowly focused segments.
Also recommended by the MIT task force:
- Continue to expand online and blended-learning options.
- Expand the school's certification program for online courses.
- Develop ways to use game-based learning in classes.
- Attract a more diverse group of students to MOOCs– more than 70 percent are male.
- Make the school more affordable.
- Admit more students.

PODCAST: New credit scores
FICO -- the nation's leading provider of those all-important credit scores so many of us have tatooed on us -- has announced that it is changing the formula it uses to score our credit in a way that could boost the credit scores for tens of millions of Americans. More on what you need to know about your FICO credit score. Plus, things are getting tougher for military personnel who get help on their college tuition. The current rule is people getting assistance have to just pass the classes, but the government now wants them do better than that. Also, Cleveland is a sports town, be it baseball, basketball or badminton. That game is one of 35 featured in the Gay Games, which start Saturday. The international Gay Games 9 competition is expected to bring 30,000 visitors to the area. More on what some small businesses are doing to get fans into their establishments.
Military wages war on bad grades
As of September, active service members who tap the military's tuition assistance program could be financially on the hook if they get bad grades.
Active members of the military can get up to $4,500 a year in tuition assistance. Under the current rules, they just have to pass classes they take off-duty to get tuition covered up to 100 percent, depending on the branch of the military they're in.
But starting in early September, troops will have to earn a C or better in undergraduate classes, and a B or better in graduate work. And they can't settle for grades of "incomplete." Otherwise, they'll have to pay back the course tuition back.
"Tuition dollars and military student time is both limited and valuable," says Defense Department spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen. "So, we want to make sure they maintain focus and have an understanding of the expectations that are required of them."
Christensen says the Pentagon could waive the requirements in certain cases and cut soldiers slack for events like deployments.
Emma Scherer of Student Veterans of America says the threat of paying back tuition for anything less than an average grade could scare people off.
"We don't want to put roadblocks in the way of service members or veterans getting to education, and this clearly does that," she says.
Student financial aid expert Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Edvisors.com, says having to back-pay tuition could also disrupt service members' long-term education plans.
"They'd either owe the military or owe the college, and that could have consequences for their ability to complete college," he says.
The changes come as the Pentagon faces long-term budget cuts.

Corporate earnings: up. Hiring: not so much.
Corporate earnings reports for the spring quarter are mostly in by the first week in August. Overall, they paint a pretty rosy picture for America, Inc., as Bloomberg predicts profits at S&P 500 companies rose nearly 9.5 percent; sales rose more than 4 percent. So far, 75 percent of companies that have reported earned more than equity analysts predicted.
"The results have been really solid," said chief economic strategist John Canally at LPL Financial in Boston. He said the results bode well for the second half of 2014, especially since GDP growth has picked up since the winter reversal.
Canally said companies are mostly plowing their profits back into the company; not adding to their payrolls, or investing in new plant and equipment.
"It's mergers and acquisitions, increasing dividends, share buybacks," Canally said. "Companies are doing what companies normally do: trying to boost share price for their shareholders. They're just not doing a lot of hiring right now."
Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics in Toronto, said U.S. companies have increasing worries overseas — where a lot of their profits are earned — due to geopolitical and economic crises in Russia-Ukraine, Iraq-Syria, Israel-Palestine, Argentina, and Europe.
"Some of those geopolitical events have made people rethink how optimistic they are about the world economy over the next 12 months," said Ashworth — Which, he said, explains some of the stock market's recent slump.

Syd Hill
Suprema Poley
Trail Saddles
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: Syd Hill
Model: Suprema Poley
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I made the deal of my life when I found this beautiful saddle on consignment at a local tack store. I asked the staff if they could tell me about the saddle as I had never rode in an Australian saddle. They said the only thing they knew about it was that an old man kept coming in the shop and looking at it, saying something about how he should buy it and resell it himself! I quickly looked it up on the Internet and read about the legendary quality of Syd Hill saddles and bought it for 550$. I have never regretted it and wish I had discovered the Aussie saddle years ago.
Likes: Its a beautiful saddle, fine leather and workmanship. It has beautiful tooling and fittings. Despite its handsome appearance the best feature of the saddle is the safety and comfort, I can sit in it all day, and to date nothing my gee horse has done has got me even close to falling off! She has bucked, reared and jumped to the side and that saddle holds me in like I am glued on! It makes me look like I am 10x the rider I am.
Dislikes: Aussie saddles are a bit heavy, but I will never ride in anything else!
Quality: Top notch quality and craftsmanship. I understand that Syd Hill is one of the finest Aussie saddle makers. I also understand they closed down after over 100 years in business so if you find one, snap it up!
Summary: Writing this review makes me feel like I want to go out and buy another before it's to late. I highly, highly recommend everyone try one.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Australians suffering disaster fatigue
BRISBANE -- Just as an Australian businessman handed over a whopping $50 million to aspiring university students, the spirit of generosity appears to be fading away among his compatriots.
Canberra-born Graham Tuckwell this week impressed the nation with the largest financial donation ever made to an Australian university.
His $50 million will fund undergraduate scholarships at the Australian National University for the next two decades.
Tuckwell can afford to be generous. He established ETF Securities after studying at ANU and controls about $30 billion worth of assets.
He and wife Louise reportedly not only wanted to help educate young Australians, but want to avoid spoiling their children with a massive inheritance.
"Lots of money is poisonous to have," he said.
If you take away the breadth of the Bill-Gates-like donation, the kindly gesture is not uncommon in a country that often coughs up enormous amounts of cash to help charitable causes.
Australia might not have the great northern American philanthropic tradition exemplified by the Rockefellers, but ordinary people are quick to send off small sums to those in need.
Just as Tuckwell was writing his cheque, however, thousands of Australians appeared to be snapping their purses shut.
Few outside of Australia probably are aware that January brought yet another massive flood to the northern state of Queensland.
The disaster is just another in a series of natural catastrophes going back to February 2008 when the north Queensland city of Mackay was swamped with a one-in-50-year flood.
From there came more floods, the 2009 Victorian bushfires which claimed more than 170 lives, a powerful cyclone and, in the past few weeks, bush fires and flooding.
In the city of Bundaberg about 400 kilometres north of the Queensland capital Brisbane, hundreds of families lost everything they own as flood waters swept through streets.
Yet when the call went out for cash Australians appeared to turn their backs.
The 2013 Queensland Flood Appeal is almost $10 million short of providing immediate relief to flood victims.
Former Queensland treasurer Terry Mackenroth said the appeal had nowhere near enough money to meet immediate need.
Just under $6 million was in the can at the start of the week when about $15 million was required.
The world-wide charitable organization St. Vincent de Paul also notes donations are far below the outpouring of cash that followed the 2010-2011 Queensland floods, which captured international attention.
One explanation is the federal government's decision to slap a flood levy on all Australians to help pay for the cleanup in 2011.
That angered many of those who had already given to charity and believed they were being forced into a second donation.
But Brian Moore, president of the Queensland arm of St. Vincents, suggests a tougher economic climate combined with a sense of donor fatigue is drying up the rivers of goodwill.
On the Pro Bono Australia website Andrew Thomas, general manager of Philanthropy at Perpetual, says not-for-profit organizations supporting communities are struggling.
Despite a sophisticated three-tier system of government that does an admirable job in disaster management, Australia still relies heavily on simple charity to get through disasters.
Thomas says the spirit of giving is essential to a functioning community. The nation simply can't afford a bout of compassion fatigue.
Michael Madigan is the Winnipeg Free Press correspondent in Australia. He writes mostly about politics for the Brisbane-based Courier Mail.

Ivanisevic Triumphs Over Martin In AEGON Masters Final
London, England
by Press Release|
Goran Ivanisevic won his first ever AEGON Masters Tennis title at the Royal Albert Hall after sinking former Wimbledon finalist Todd Martin 6-2, 6-4 in Sunday's final.
Ivanisevic, who had lost his serve just once going in to Sunday's final, again overwhelmed his opponent with serves of more than 130mph. The 2001 Wimbledon champion thoroughly dominated the first set, hitting his serves as hard and accurately as ever and returning in much the same way. Martin was able to mount a challenge early in the second set, but the Croatian was determined to hold his nerve. With Martin serving to stay in the match at 4-5, Ivanisevic seized his chance, scorching a couple of backhand returns down the line to win the match and the title.
"I'm just so happy I finally won this tournament," said Ivanisevic, after lifting the trophy. "The first set today was probably the best set I played this week. The rhythm on my serve was great, I returned well from the back and I also felt good physically. I was surprised how well I was moving today because after yesterday's match against Pat everything hurt. That was a great match against Pat and I've really enjoyed my whole week."
ATP Champions Tour Website | Follow On Facebook
The final victory over Martin completed a perfect day for Ivanisevic as his beloved British football team West Bromwich Albion were also 3-1 winners over Newcastle at the Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon.
"My day can't get any better!" shouted Goran to the crowd, mid-way through the second set after discovering that West Brom had taken a 1-0 lead.
The AEGON Masters Tennis title is Goran's third of the year, meaning that 2010 has been his most successful year to-date on the ATP Champions Tour. The 2001 Wimbledon Champion explained what it is that keeps him motivated to play on the Tour, six years on from his debut in Eindhoven in 2004.
"I enjoy playing on this Tour a lot," he said. "It keeps me in shape, I get to play good tennis still, the people enjoy it and it's still competitive and fun. I love it."

|Stern looking forward to NBA's return to Oklahoma City
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 13 April 2007 15:00
Before the start of the game, Stern took a microphone and thanked the city, state, government leaders and fans.
``Most of all, thank you to the fans of this most major league of cities,'' Stern said to loud cheers. ``I look forward to the day that the NBA will return to Oklahoma City.''
Oklahoma City hosted 71 of the Hornets' 82 home games over the past two seasons, with the finale against Denver becoming the 30th time the Ford Center was sold out. The Hornets are to return home for their full schedule next season.
The Hornets had a pregame video tribute thanking the fans as the best in the NBA, and the team's starters were introduced from the arena's concourses and walked to the court through the stands, slapping high-fives with fans who stood to cheer.
Fans were given an OKC patch, like the one the Hornets have worn on their jerseys since Hurricane Katrina forced them to vacate the New Orleans Arena, and white T-shirts that read ``NBA (heart) OKC.'' The Hornets wore jerseys that read 'Oklahoma City' on the front that were to be given away to fans after the game.
``When we were looking for ways to say, `Thank you,' first we came up with the hard ones like a T-shirt that expresses our love for Oklahoma City,'' Stern said in a pregame news conference. ``And then there's the easy one: Put Stern on a plane for a couple hours, enjoy the game and say thank you. That's what I'm here for.''
Hornets owner George Shinn and point guard Chris Paul, last year's Rookie of the Year, also addressed the crowd before the game.
``If we keep winning games, we'll get a couple more games back here in Oklahoma City,'' said Paul, referring to the team's remaining playoff hopes.
Stern said he expected the league to find an ``intelligent system'' to allow the team's games to be broadcast on television and radio in Oklahoma City next season and allow Oklahomans to ``continue their relationship with the Hornets.''
Before he could even be asked, Stern gave his thoughts on a city that had never before hosted a major pro sports franchise.
``Yes, you've exceeded our wildest expectations. Yes, Oklahoma City has demonstrated that it's a major league city. Yes, it would be my expectation that we would have a team here someday. No, I don't have any particular team in mind,'' Stern said.
Stern characterized Oklahoma City's average attendance of 18,329 fans over the two seasons as ``very, very strong in our view,'' and compared the city to Orlando, San Antonio, Portland and Sacramento - other cities that have an NBA team as their only major league franchise.
``I think the last two years here have demonstrated that this city can do the job as well,'' Stern said.
Stern said he didn't think the Ford Center, which cost only $89 million and opened in 2002, necessarily needed to be upgraded to host an NBA team in the future.
Stern also addressed the team's return to New Orleans, saying he hoped to have more sponsorship dollars and more season-ticket holders when the Hornets get back than they had in previous seasons in the city.
is your best.''
Stern said the NBA would be involved in the team's search for a practice facility in New Orleans that was promised as part of its lease.
``We are honoring our obligation to be back in New Orleans,'' Stern said.
Stern called New Orleans ``a changed city'' but reiterated the league's commitment there.
``The Hornets have their work cut out for them. Then NBA has our work cut out for it. But against the tragedies that there are in life, that's not a tragedy to work hard,'' Stern said. ``We're planning to do it, and we're planning to succeed.''

November 28, 2014
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Scott Kazmir pitched seven innings to win his fourth straight start, Yoenis Cespedes hit his 14th home run of the season and the Oakland Athletics beat the Boston Red Sox 4-2 on Thursday night.
Stephen Vogt had two hits and two RBIs, Jed Lowrie scored twice and John Jaso singled in an insurance run in the seventh to move the A's a season-high 17 games over .500. It's the best record in the majors and continued Oakland's best start since 1990.
Kazmir (9-2) went into the game with the second-lowest ERA among qualifiers in the AL and extended his streak to 18 1-3 innings without allowing an earned run before Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run home run in the sixth. He struck out eight and didn't walk a batter.
Cespedes had not homered against the Red Sox until his two-out, solo shot off Jake Peavy in the third.

A Great Trip to the Beach
Last winter I took a trip to South Florida to enjoy some warmer weather on the beach. I decided to be a little more adventurous than my usual vacation habit of getting a hotel room, setting up shop, and eating at the local restaurants. This time I decided to go more primitive and camp on the beach with just a hammock and a fishing pole to catch my own food.
I found a great area in a state park to set up my campsite between two trees where I strung up my hammock. It was an excellent three day adventure catching my own food and watching the ocean in the warm breeze. The only thing I lacked was a good thai massage Leeds in the evening as my campfire wore down with the only sounds of the waves and porpoises splashing in the moonlight.

Microsoft Rolls Out Facebook-Friendly Bing Bar 7
What? Another toolbar? Yes, and Microsoft has linked up its new Bing Bar 7 with Facebook. Microsoft figures it can do better than all the toolbars that came before with its Bing Bar 7, which works only with Internet Explorer 7, 8 or 9. Is it useful? If you haven't tried Microsoft's Bing Bar in any of its earlier iterations, it's a toolbar with little app-like conveniences.

Police Beat for Saturday, November 9th, 2013A 45-year-old rural Odin man was arrested by Marion County Sheriff's Deputies Friday for disorderly conduct after he allegedly shot his neighbor's dog. Deputies say Anthony Shaw of Hoots Chapel Road allegedly admitted to shooting the dog while it was in his back yard. Shaw said he was tired of chasing dogs out of his yard. He turned over the gun and the casing of the shotgun pellet used to fire the shot. The owner of the dog, James Thompson of the Hoots Chapel Road, had earlier found his dog lying in a ditch near Shaw's home. Shaw was taken to the Marion County Jail where he posted $150 bond and was released.
Two others remained in custody in the Marion County Jail following arrests on outstanding felony warrants. 47-year-old Alicia Jones of Howard Street in Centralia was arrested by Centralia Police. 25-year-old Janell Stockstill of Mound City was taken into custody by Marion County Sheriff's Deputies.
26-year-old Robbi Dabney Junior of Fairway Drive in Centralia posted $150 bond and was released after being arrested by State Police for driving on a suspended or revoked license.

January 21, 2009
More than 3,000 attendees were on hand for the 2009 American Bus Association (ABA) Marketplace in Charlotte, N.C. Jan. 7 to 12.
"As the first group travel show in 2009, Marketplace acted as a leading economic indicator," said ABA President/CEO Peter J. Pantuso. "With more than 300 operator companies, 300 appointment-taking buyers, more than 100,000 scheduled appointments on the business floor, and more than $41,000 raised for charity through our Marketplace Gives Back event 'Strike Out Breast Cancer,' this year's event proved again that it's the premier show in group travel."
Registered Marketplace delegates also included 628 destination marketing organizations (DMOs), 559 lodging representatives, 719 attraction representatives, and 194 associate members, including suppliers and manufacturers.
Marketplace's new show-within-a-show for equipment providers to meet with operators, the Product Pavilion, featured a comprehensive exhibit of new motorcoaches, with 13 models on the event floor, some offered for test drives.
This year's event also featured a new high-tech networking feature, the MingleStick, which allowed delegates to exchange business information using a device half the size of a cell phone. More than 1,000 MingleSticks used during the show cut the time-consuming exchange of thousands of paper business cards, and helped reinforce ABA's commitment to going green beyond offering the motorcoach as the most eco-friendly way to travel.
"Our new Young Professionals program, discussions on the new ABA-Ontario Motor Coach Association Project 2010 online business connection portal, and the ABA Foundation events that raised $116,000 all combined to create a stellar 2009 show," said Pantuso.
Marketplace travels in 2010 to the D.C. Capital Region surrounding Washington, to Philadelphia in 2011, and to Grapevine, Texas in 2012, site of the 2007 event.
