Australian logistics firm literally gives away 62% share in struggling low-cost carrier
Uncertainty over the future of Australia's Virgin Blue has eased at least for now, following a decision by majority owner Toll Holdings to hand over most of its stake to shareholders.
Toll, which has owned a 62.7% stake in Virgin Blue since 2006, announced in mid-July it would unload 98.3% of its holding by way of a special dividend to its own shareholders. Investors will receive one Virgin Blue share for each Toll share held.
Toll had been looking to sell out since early this year but in April said weak market conditions meant it could not get the price it wanted. Toll now says the separation will give the "Virgin Blue board and management greater freedom to pursue its long-term growth ambitions".
Virgin Group will become the biggest single shareholder, with 25.5%. Its chairman, Sir Richard Branson, says the group "remains a long-term committed cornerstone shareholderand has a high degree of confidence in Virgin Blue's business model".
Virgin Blue has been under analysts' watch amid concerns about a deteriorating operating performance and over growth plans that include adding long-haul widebody aircraft operations and more regional jets to its fleet, which previously only comprised Boeing 737s. Some were particularly concerned about a possible need to issue new capital to fund the expansion. But Virgin Blue says its "balance sheet and cash reserves remain strong and based on current trading conditions the board sees no requirement for additional equity raisings in the foreseeable future".
Merrill Lynch says concern the airline will need to issue new capital "now looks to have abated". JP Morgan says the move "will significantly increase VBA's liquidity and creates more certainty over its long-term ownership".

Pre-Concert Lecture 7:00 PM - Emerson Morgan
Polyhymnia, one of New York's leading early music choirs, presents the music of Heinrich Schütz in a concert featuring the solemn and elegant Musikalische Exequien. Composed during 1635-1636, the three works of the Musikalische Exequien or German Requiem, were commissioned for the funeral services of Henry Posthumous Reuss, Count of Gera, who died on December 3, 1635. Schütz, profoundly influenced by his time in Venice perfected a Germano/Venetian hybrid style of which Monteverdi himself would be envious. Count Henry himself chose the texts that his friend Schütz so eloquently set to music. Viewing this celebration of life and death though the veil of Lutheran theology and German culture so profoundly influenced by the Thirty Years War, provides a glimpse into the personal spirituality not only of Count Henry, but Heinrich Schütz as well. Also on the program will be selections for Geistliche Chor-Musik, the motet Ich bin die Auferstehung.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are still well in command in the Eastern Conference but didn't help themselves with a pair of recent lackluster efforts against clubs that are currently out of playoff contention.

With four Cardinals registering wins in both singles and doubles, many in very close fashion, Wesleyan upped its seasonal mark to 13-5 on the year with a 7-1 win at Hamilton Sun., April 15. The team tied the 2002 squad which posted a 13-7 record for most wins in a season with two matches remaining. The Cardinals hoped to break the tie in its next outing Wed., April 25 at Conn. College, a team Wesleyan defeated, 5-4, a year ago and had conquered 10 times in the last 11 meetings. Things did not go the Cardinals' way, however, as the Camels claimed a 6-3 triumph.
At Hamilton, #1 Jeff Legunn '13 (photo upper left) won in three sets and paired with #4 Donald Kleckner '13 (photo lower left) for a 9-7 win at #1 doubles. Kleckner was a three-set victor in singles as well. Donovan Suh '15 (photo upper right) won his match at #5 singles when his opponent retired. He joined Ben Hudson '15 for an 8-6 triumph at #2 doubles. Stephen Monk '15 (photo lower right) was a straight-set winner at #2 singles and an 8-5 winner at #3 doubles, playing with Charlie Seifer '15. Seifer was unable to finish his match at #6 singles due to time constraints. He had taken the first set in a tie-breaker, however.
At Conn, Legunn and Kleckner were solid straight set victors at #1 and #4, respectively, while the third doubles team of Monk and Seifer won, 8-5. No other Cardinal was able to conquer their Camel rival.
The final match of the year came up Sun., April 29 on the road against the top-ranked team in the country, Amherst. The Lord Jeffs prevailed, 9-0, to give Wesleyan a final record of 13-7, matching the 2002 team's record-setting effort.

The Las Vegas New Frontier hotel blown up in spectacular fashion
Wednesday, November 14, 2007 - 11:55am
Involving a huge fireworks display and including fireworks shooting out of the soon-to-be-destroyed windows of the hotel, it's certainly one of the coolest controlled demolitions we've seen. And while it's sad to see another relic of old Vegas bite the dust, you just know they're planning to build yet another over-the-top, ridiculous hotel/casino in it's place. It'll still be Vegas, don't worry.

Report: More than 2 dozen 'no interchange' signs stolen in New Smyrna
Published On: Apr 16 2013 05:36:49 PM EDT
Updated On: Apr 16 2013 06:58:31 PM EDT
Updated On: Apr 16 2013 06:58:31 PM EDT
New Smyrna Beach residents are wondering where their signs went after 28 "No interchange" signs disappeared without a trace over the weekend.
The signs, planted along Turnbull Bay Road, disappeared between 8 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Saturday. They were part of a protest of a planned interchange at Interstate 95 and Pioneer Trail proposed by a Volusia County transportation plan, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
New Smyrna Beach residents have fought the proposed interchange, saying that it will attract more traffic than their roads are designed to handle and urbanize the area.

Vegan Bites: Amuse Bouche
Today's installment of Vegan Bites is an amuse bouche, just a bite to get the meal started.
We've got stuff about soy, stuff about crabs, and stuff about Kelly Clarkson.
Here are a few veg and AR tidbits from across the web…
About vegan food:
Benefit vegan dinner in Portland >>
Vegan vanilla ice cream at Everyday Dish >>
About soy:
"A frequent jab thrown at vegans has to do with the environmental problems that accompany modern soybean farming, the erroneous assumptions being (1) that all vegans eat massive amounts of soy (no, not all do) and (2) that most soy being grown goes to make vegan foods. And this second assumption couldn't be further off-base: 90-some percent of the soy crop goes to feed livestock."
Read the whole thing here where you'll find out that soy farmers are teaming up with animal farmers to fight animal rights >>
"Making your way through the controversy can be confusing, especially since some of what the soy naysayers claim is based on some scientific data–although this doesn't mean that their conclusions are right. And it's true that some soy proponents may overstate the benefits of soy. Hopefully, we can tread a more even path here and convince you that, while soyfoods may not be the answer to all your problems, and while there certainly are a few unanswered questions, you can include soyfoods in a balanced and healthful vegan diet."
Read more about soy nutrition here >>
About losing weight through low-fat veganism:
"The very-low-fat vegetarian diets work long-term because they focus on the consumption of fiber and complex carbohydrates, which make you feel full without a lot of empty fat calories, so adherents needn't keep food logs, restrict food intake, or count calories–in other words, they take advantage of the nature of food."
About animal sentience:
Sadly, vegans sometimes have to point to nonvegans' sadistic studies to justify our empathy for animals. Case in point: "Queen's University says new research it conducted shows crabs not only suffer pain but retain a memory of it." (source)
About the Canadian seal hunt:
"Spain voted against seal products for the EU on March 25, following close on the heels of Ireland's March 17 vote to ban all seal products. Several other European countries like the Netherlands, France, and Germany (as well as the EU parliament's internal market and consumer protection committee) have also voted to ban all seal products. Canada, whose annual seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world (killing well over a quarter of a million seals per year), is becoming more and more isolated in its stance on the needless practice." (link)
About pop culture and veg stuff:
"Kelly Clarkson chatting on her blog about being meat-free, but still helping out with the turkey. What do you think about all of this vegetarian meat-cooking?"
Shocking: Bill O'Reilly And Dennis Miller Almost Kind Of Like PETA (link)
About food labels and "natural" meat:
"A few weeks ago, the USDA released a draft of its new rules relating to meat labeling. The new rules require that meat called natural not be fed antibiotics or meat by-products. This is good but really just scratches the surface. Unfortunately, as previously, the rules are silent on the conditions in which animals are raised. We are not surprised, but we are nonetheless disappointed. This means the USDA will continue to allow factory-farmed meat to be labeled as 'natural.' Buyer beware." (link)

About vegan podcasts:

About nutrition and The China Study:
And because everyone seems like like Dr. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, here's a video of him answering a few questions after a talk about nutrition:

|Dartford put FA Trophy tie back 24 hours to beat Big Freeze
|Monday, 06 February 2012
DARTFORD'S FA Carlsberg Trophy Third Round home tie against Wealdstone, which was postponed on Saturday due to a frozen pitch, has been put back 24 hours to Wednesday evening, 8 February.
A club statement said: "Further to today's inspection, confirmation has been received from the club secretary, Mr Peter Martin, that he has spoken with Wealdstone and both clubs are in agreement to move the game to Wednesday."
A pitch inspection has been organised for Wednesday lunch time to see if the game at Princes Park goes ahead.
The winners will travel to either Cambridge United (Conference Premier) or Guiseley (Conference North) in the quarter-finals, scheduled for 25 February.
But Cambridge United's tie against Guiseley will now have to take place on 14 February, due to two postponements owing to the freezing conditions.

This is an amazing first chapter! It captured me right away and I love that it is written in a boy's POV.
I like this however I do have a problem: 1. The description wasn't all that good. Good grammar and punctuation 7/10 :)
Hey! this is really creative you have some run on sentences but it's okay that can be easily edited :)
Your first sentence was a little bit long... and why does the nurse automatically assume it's heart cancer? :/ I like the story though!! Keep writing. ^.^

Octomom Having a Tea Party With Her Children
Octomom holds a tea party with her octuplets to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee because that's something completely sane people do. (April 23, 2012)
"Umm…. yea, could i get a little help over here? I think one of these little shits got frosting in my hair… what?… no, just shove them in the closet until tomorrow. i think they really like it in there."
Jesus, i'm British and i won't be celebrating the Queens Jubilee, we've wasted enough frigging money on the Royal Leaches over the last sixty years and more.
Shut up, Piers.

Okay so the jury is still out on this one for now. I just picked it up at CVS for $5 @ 0.7 FL OZ. I figured if I hated it, I was only out $5 and if I loved it then I had just found a $5 primer! It has a nice opalescent quality to it which I like because I have never seen a primer with this before, and I feel like it may have illuminating properties without shimmer which is always good. Even if the opalescent quality doesn't actually do anything, it's a nice touch. There is no fragrance added so it smells a little plasticky but only if you get your nose all up in it. It has a smooth glide to it but lacks the classic "powdery" feel of most primers. I can't comment on the actual performance under makeup because I haven't tried it yet, but I have high hopes! (don't we always?). The ingredients are too many for me to type because I'm lazy but there are quite a few botanical extracts in it as well as a cone or two. There is mica in it which may account for the opalescent-ness. Also, some aloe as well as some jojoba oil.
UPDATE: I really love this stuff. It is super moisturizing which really helps foundation to go on smooth and without patchy areas/dry flakies. I love the luminous quality to it, and by no means does it add any shine just glow. I have oily skin so I have to be super careful with products. My only problem is now that my tube is empty, I can't find another one!! The search continues...

Above the centered disc is a flowerhead placed against an open work element with twisted rope detail. Directly south a classic appliqué form is situation at the bottom to balance the symmetry of the earring. A simple cultured pearl set surmount finishes the look.

Hi Pygmy-How the heck are you?
Yeah, so I have a blog now, but not that many people reading it. What's a Pygmy to do? I know, how about let you fine people at WDWRadio know about it! There we go, that sounds like a fantastic plan I've just started this blog about 2 weeks ago, and feel like I'm running out of steam, so I'll need your help! Feel free to grab a vine and swing on over to The Pygmy Post anytime. I'll be waiting

I think I should make a blog post about that, thanks for the tip

This week I was ranting about some lady at Subway because I couldn't think of anything else at the moment. Next week I'm going to plan on ranting about stale peeps, and from there I've got nothing.
Besides that, what else would you like to see on my blog? And if you like what you see, tell a friend! Why have a blog for all to see when it's just going to be seen by my same friends here in the forums?

10th Anniversary of 9/11
The horrific violence that took place on September 11th 2001 spawned many negative – and a few positive – realities. Before going in to any discussion about it, let's look at the facts:
The major negative effects of 9/11 were:
- The murder of 3,000-plus innocent people, whose "crime" was going to work to support their families.
- Demonstrating our 800-billion-dollar a year defense budget (which is six times more than China, who is next on the list of defense spending) has major holes in it. Of course, there are the hundreds of previous government officials, military officers, scientists and scholars of the highest institutions that have brought forth testimonies and evidence that there are major issues in the official story of 9/11, which questions the ease by which Bin Laden and his crew orchestrated these horrendous attacks from the mountains of Afghanistan.
- A million innocent Afghani and Iraqi people have been murdered, whose only "crime" was having a corrupt government.
- The destruction of those two innocent countries, causing chaos, division and strife.
- The placement and support of a highly corrupt regime in Afghanistan.
- The two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq fueling a fringe element of extremist ideology amongst Muslims.
- Mainstream mass media blaming 1.5 billion Muslims for this and spreading fear against Islam and Muslims the world over. Whether fueled by strategic anti-Islam agenda or just trying to create an attractive story, images like that of the World Trade Center burning, and then fading into a photo of Muslims engaged in prayer, have played a major role in the formation of hate groups, which produce the likes of the recent Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik.
- Giving credence and purpose to the anti-Islam movement that has existed since the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
- The rapid downfall of the U.S. and thus the world economy.
Major positive effects:
- The millions of curious objective people who didn't accept the anti-Islam rhetoric and researched the faith and interacted with Muslims, causing most of them to have a favorable view of Islam and Muslims, as well as multitudes embracing Islam.
- It woke up many Muslims and their Islamic centers to fulfill their responsibility in presenting the message of Islam to their neighbors.
- The removal of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban from power.
When comparing these two sets of facts, it becomes obvious that this tragedy was ugly and highly negative. It produced anger, hatred, bias, fear, chaos, bloodshed and poverty. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday who is a Methodist minister and I mentioned to him that, although Muslims mourned the loss of 9/11 and condemned the evil that caused it, we feel uncomfortable with these anniversaries. We feel that the anniversary says "Don't forget when those "Muslim" terrorists attacked our country, so let's join in solidarity against them." The minister agreed that an anniversary should be a remembrance of a positive joyous occasion.
Islam is about beauty, mercy and God-consciousness and it should be remembered and understood as such. There is a famous hadith which says, "Indeed God is beautiful and He loves beauty…" (Muslim). God is defined primarily at the beginning of each chapter of the Quran as the loving, merciful, gracious, compassionate, forgiving, beneficent, etc. Muslim theologians have agreed from the time of the Prophet until this very day that the most comprehensive verse of the Qur'an about the message of Islam is:
"Indeed God calls for justice, a high standard of virtuous interaction, and preserving the rights of kinship. He forbids ugly immorality, sin and aggression. He reminds you so that perhaps you will be mindful."(Qur'an, 16:90)
The acts of 9/11 were completely in contrast to this authoritative definitive verse of the Qur'an, so we will not accept the horror of 9/11 as being related to Islam. The burden now rests on the shoulders of every Muslim to understand their faith correctly and how to properly relate it to our neighbors. In doing this, we can promote the truth of Islam and dispel the lies and anti-Islam rhetoric.
This requires us to achieve balance in our approach to the world, as it relates to spiritual tolerance and intellectualism, while remaining proud of the divine message that we are calling to.
"Thus, We have chosen you to be an ideal moderate balanced nation so that you may be witnesses upon mankind and that Messenger can be a witness for you."(Qur'an, 2:143)
We must step out of our enclaves and interact with society according to the values of this verse and the rest of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This is first done by building relationships with neighbors, co-workers, classmates, the interfaith community, etc. The method is simple: be a Muslim, understand Islam and its priorities without coming off as preaching, and let it be known you are Muslim. The Qur'an says,
"Who is better in speech than He who calls to the path of God and works righteousness saying, 'Indeed I am a Muslim.'"(Qur'an, 41:33).
Presenting Islam is based upon wisdom and gentle preaching, as mentioned in the Qur'an:
"Call to the path of your Lord with wisdom and gentle preaching…" (16:125)
This verse, in conjunction with the previously-mentioned verse, dictates that we first act like Muslims, and if the chance arises we present our message. First of all, this means it is NOT correct to get into theological debates with people as an act of da`wah. Very rarely will you change someone's mind about religion by proving something to them in a debate. In many cases ,you will alienate them with your dogmatic religiosity. If discussion naturally goes somewhere, or you are asked a specific question, then you can mention a point about Islam. In other cases, once you've built a good relationship, you might have an open religious discussion. In any case, you must present Islam with wisdom and understanding, which is a big gift from God that we must strive and pray for:
"…Whoever has been given wisdom has been given a lot of good…" (2:269)
Finally, one of the most important parts of our mission as Muslims, that we are very weak in, is community service. Every single Mosque should have an active role in soup kitchens, clothing the homeless, keeping the city clean, etc. In my opinion, this weakness in our community is a result of our lack of seeing this land as ours and the inhabitants as our people, our brothers in humanity and nationality. Don't forget how the Qur'an refers to the Prophets and their people:
"We sent to the city of Ad their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship God as there is no god other than Him" (11:50)
We will conclude with a verse which sums up our responsibility,
"You are the greatest nation brought forth for the benefit of mankind. You enjoin all good; you forbid all evil and believe in God…" (3:110)

Mashallah, very beautiful and informative post! I really like how you first gave us some of the positive and negative effects of 9/11. I completely agree that Muslims should be more active in their communities. These small steps of community service will Inshallah help improve Americans perception of Islam and Muslims. The fourth rightly guided Khalifa Ali (r.a.) eloquently stated that every human is either your brother in faith or your equal in humanity!
Abu Majeed is an example of someone who really understands what has happened, is happening and NEEDS to happen in America. I really enjoyed this article as it lucidly outlines not just the negatives of what we experienced as a community after 9/11 but also some positives. How many of those have you read of in the flurry of 9/11 articles that came out this month? Great work.
As Salaamu alaykum,
JazakAllahu khairan for such a thoughtful and thougth provoking piece. We need to continously be reminded that we have a duty to study and know our deen and to share that deen in the best way with others.
BarakAllahu feek
I'm sorry brother but how was the removal of the Taliban which implemented shariah and eradicated drug cultivation and corruption a good thing? Fear Allah for such posts. Whatever you've heard about them should be verified as we know there is a huge propaganda war against Islam spearheaded by the western media.
@Muslim As-Salamu alaikum,
Of course brother my knowledge is confirmed and part of that knowledge is indeed that of the good things they did was eradicate to a large extent drugs and alcohol. On the other hand we can write a whole article on how their so called implementation of Islamic Law was far from even reasonable much less than ideal. I suppose you support the "Shari'ah" of Saudi and al-Shabab in Somalia too!
You need to fear God and learn your deen dear brother. Ignorance is our worst enemy!
Mashallah, this article is more even handed than previous articles on this site with regards to 9/11. Jazakallahu khayrn.
Just a few thoughts…
@ Muslim – Im with you brother, American Muslims need to spend more time understanding the history of Afghanistan and its central role in the drug trade during the 1990s.
As for the negative effects of 9/11, I would hope that 2+ million dead Muslims would rank number one on your list….but alhamdulillah at least the author acknowledges the fact that there are legitimate questions regarding the official narrative of 9/11. Conspiracy theorists are those who try to propose an alternative narrative, logical thinkers are those who simply do not trust the American government….think "WMDs in Iraq." Members of the 9/11 Commission have stated on the record that they do not believe the published report is an accurate reflection of events leading up to the attacks.
There is one ayat in particular that we should reflect on: 49:6.
My ranking was more chronological than order of harm.
salamu alaykum,
@Muslim & Zayd,Advice, I agree to an extent that the Taliban did eradicate drugs and other things, but what good is this if you do not fulfil all the laws and obligations of the shariah and establish the rights of the ummah. One cannot pick and choose what to implement and what to not to. For example, where was the rights for woman to be able to seek knowledge? who gave them the right to take this away when allah bestowed this for them? Abu Hurayrah relates that the Prophet (SAW)said, "For him who embarks on the path of seeking knowledge, Allah will ease for him the way to paradise." (Muslim).
Women are the one's who teach the kids, who one day became the pillars of our nation,. I could go on and show you many other things,
No one is disputing they did some good however i think you need to reflect on some ayah's yourselves 90:4-18, and i can say as a somali i know exactly what author means when he compares them to al-shabab, who are causing destruction among the people.
Also no wonder we are being divided when we are using such words as American Muslim's. We are a nation of Muslim brother's and sisters,(The Believers Are Like Brothers To One Another) 49:10,
we're too busy being afghani or american or somali. How many more divisions? How many more separations ? The Kaffir are killing us one by one, as seen in the "New World Order" (Chechnya, Bosnia, Kashmir, etc). Divide-and-conquer is really working on the UMMAH. Lets all work together to put an end to this nonsense called Nationalism, a completely alien, and forbidden ideology in Islam.
"And verily this Ummah of yours IS A SINGLE UMMAH and I am your Lord and Cherisher: Therefore Fear Me and no other" 23:53
Jazakum khaiyr.

Race and Obesity Treatment
Quinn Phillips
March 15, 2011
Both obesity and Type 2 diabetes have reached striking levels in the United States. This is true among most racial and ethic groups, but particularly among African-Americans. According to the American Diabetes Association, African-Americans are 1.8 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. They are also 1.5 times as likely to be obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Because of these large disparities, research has explored the scope of the African-American "diabesity" epidemic from many different angles — including how race affects what treatments, if any, someone receives for obesity.
In a study published earlier this year in the journal Obesity, researchers sought to find out whether rates of obesity-related counseling were greater among obese black people with black doctors than among those with white doctors. There could be many possible reasons for lower rates of counseling by white doctors, the researchers speculated, ranging from fear of cultural offense to a perception that obesity is normal — or even intractable — in African-Americans. To explore the impact of doctor–patient racial makeup, the researchers looked at data from medical surveys that included information on 2,231 visits to the doctor by obese people who identified as either black or white. Of these visits, 12% involved a black patient seeing a white doctor; 5% involved a black patient seeing a black doctor; 81% involved a white person seeing a white doctor; and 2% involved a white person seeing a black doctor.
According to an article on the study at MedPage Today, the researchers looked at whether three different types of counseling took place during the visit: on weight loss, on diet and nutrition, or on exercise. Among all visits, diet and nutrition counseling was most common, taking place in 30% of visits; exercise counseling took place in 23% of visits, and weight-loss counseling took place in 22%. When viewed through the lens of doctor–patient racial makeup, the group with the highest rate of diet and nutrition counseling was black patients seeing black doctors, at 36.5%; the group with the lowest rate was black patients seeing white doctors, at 24.3%. Although this result would seem to support the researchers' hypothesis that black patients receive less counseling from white doctors than from black doctors, this pattern does not hold for the other types of counseling. The highest rate of exercise counseling was seen among white patients seeing black doctors, at 29.4%; the lowest rate was seen again among black patients seeing white doctors, at 15%. But the highest rate of weight-loss counseling was seen among white patients seeing black doctors, at 25.5%; and the lowest rate was seen among black patients seeing black doctors. The researchers concluded that although blacks experienced less obesity-related counseling overall, this could not be statistically linked to the race of their doctors. They also noted that rates of counseling for all groups were too low.
Regardless of your race, if you are obese, do you believe that your doctor provides adequate obesity-related counseling? If not, can you guess why he or she might be reluctant to offer it? Could any of these reasons account for the racial disparities seen in the study? Do you have any broader suggestions for addressing the racial gap in obesity and diabetes rates in the United States? Leave a comment below!
Since there are a huge population of Asian/Indian physicians, what category did they fall into, white or black? I am assuming white. And that's a whole different subjet.

No. No. no. Unequivocally no I go see my Doctors or healthcare team and (when they are on the smae page) I hear "You are fine just control your sugar". yeah - 120lbs over my optimim weight and I am fine? Hmmmmmmm, Even I know that if I could find a way to lose theweight the numbers would improve (sugar, cholesterol blood pressure). But when I ask for help I hear "Just control the nibbers." Do I sound frustrated ? you bet.

Player ratings: England 4-1 Montenegro
JOE HART: Under scrutiny following some high-profile errors, but got down well to save a header from Dejan Damjanovic and was unlucky to be beaten by the striker for Montenegro's goal. 6/10
KYLE WALKER: Booked for needlessly pulling back Stevan Jovetic resulting in a suspension which rules him out of the Poland game. 5
LEIGHTON BAINES: Had room to roam forward and offered a strong creative option, but was caught out defensively for the Montenegro goal. 7
STEVEN GERRARD: On his 106th appearance - equalling Sir Bobby Charlton's haul of caps - the captain missed a sitter when presented with a chance by Wayne Rooney. 6
GARY CAHILL: The Chelsea centre-back as kept busy by Damjanovic in a physical tussle, but held firm. 6
PHIL JAGIELKA: The Everton defender has established himself at the heart of the England defence after another assured performance. 7
ANDROS TOWNSEND: A stunning goal capped an impressive debut. The pace of the Tottenham winger troubled the visitors and led to Rooney's opener. 8
FRANK LAMPARD: Performed well in 65 minutes, sitting deep in midfield, before being replaced by Michael Carrick. 6
DANIEL STURRIDGE: The Liverpool man was eager to impress, perhaps over eager, opting for fancy footwork when the conventional approach may have been more effective. Scored late penalty. 7
WAYNE ROONEY: Missed after Townsend's shot was saved but made amends early in the second half with a scrappy goal and grew in confidence thereafter. 8
DANNY WELBECK: Headed wide from Baines cross and might have scored early in the second only for Rooney to net the follow up. 6
MICHAEL CARRICK (on for Lampard, 65 minutes): Slotted in seamlessly in midfield. 6
JACK WILSHERE (on for Townsend, 80): After an eventful week, the Arsenal man was not given enough time to make an impression. 5
JAMES MILNER (on for Gerrard, 87): Too little time to make an impact. 5
VUKASIN POLEKSIC: Saved well from Welbeck, twice, and Gerrard before being beaten by Rooney early in a second half in which he conceded four goals. 7
SAVO PAVICEVIC: Struggled for the most part and was booked for hauling down Welbeck before being replaced. 5
MILAN JOVANOVIC: The left-back had a busy evening opposite Townsend and struggled to cope with the Tottenham man's pace. 5
VLADIMIR VOLKOV: Was anonymous and booked early in the second half before going off. 5
IVAN KECOJEVIC: Part of a resilient visiting rearguard in the first half, but conceded the stoppage-time penalty after fouling Sturridge. 5
STEVAN JOVETIC: The catalyst for much of Montenegro's good work and hit the crossbar with a long-range effort. 7
DEJAN DAMJANOVIC: Was a nuisance throughout and diverted in a shot from substitute Fatos Beqiraj to set up a nervy final 20 minutes. 7
ELSAD ZVEROTIC: Shot off target from long range with Hart retreating to his goal. 5
NIKOLA DRINCIC: Performed well in central midfield with little possession. 5
STEFAN SAVIC: At the heart of a strong defensive showing from Montenegro which fell short. 6
BRANKO BOSKOVIC: Haplessly screwed the ball into his own net from a poor Welbeck cross. 4
FATOS BEQIRAJ (on for Pavicevic, 57): Gave Baines some defensive duties down the right and saw his shot deflected for a goal. 6
SIMON VUKCEVIC (on for Volkov, 72): Made little impact in the closing stages. 5
FILIP KASALICA (on for Jovetic, 81): Not enough time to make an impact. 5

Inspirational 2009 film adaptation (and 2006 book) of American football player Michael Oher's life.Michael Oher was born in the housing projects of Hurt Village to a crack mom and a father who left a week after he was born. By the time he's of high school age, he's homeless. He is on the verge of failing out of high school, and dismissed by teachers and shunned by other students as a Big Scary Black Man, despite actually being a Gentle Giant.Fortunately, the religious, wealthy Tuohys, consisting of mother Leigh Anne, father Sean, teenage girl Collins, and little boy SJ, recognize Michael's plight and open their home to him, eventually adopting him.With the help of the Tuohys, Michael becomes a star football player, leading the Miracle Rally against the cheating and unnecessarily rough Opposing Sports Team. Colleges come knocking on the door with athletic scholarship offers.However, an NCAA investigation raises doubts in Michael that the Tuohys have his best interest at heart. Only after Michael confronts his Dark and Troubled Past can he finally learn to truly trust his new family. The film ends with footage of the real Michael being drafted into the NFL.Notable for netting Sandra Bullock her first Academy Award for Best Actress, in the very same year that she won a Worst Actress Golden Raspberry for All About Steve.
This film provides examples of:
Tropes found in the book include:

One of the first interesting data elements that TBC began tracking in 2002 was player high schools. It was interesting seeing which players went to the same high school and providing a historical view of a school's draft picks and alumni. The initial load of high school data was sourced from Sporting News Baseball Registers and a graduating high school was linked to as many players as possible. The first load of draft data also included another influx of high school data and thus the creation of the High School section which allowed for the listing of all known alumni for a school. Since then, high schools have been researched for players on a regular basis and though its completion will forever be a moving target, you can still get an interesting view of a high school's alumni on its page.
TBC has also collected basic high school information such as team nickname and colors with some schools having addresses and an external link to its home page. The schools are organized by state and is available for only the US and Canada.
Where does the information come from?I certainly haven't combed through a Rocky-Mountain sized pile of High School yearbooks to find a player's graduating high school but I have used whatever means available for research. This includes and is not limited to:
Accuracy and CompletenessThere is no guarantee that the high school assigned to each player is correct. Its possible that the school is not the graduating school or that it is listed in the wrong city or town. Its possible that its nowhere near the right school. It is possible to let us know by updating player profiles from the "Edit Player Profile" link on each player page. A player may only be assigned to one school within our system.
Its also important to note that from the school page perspective, the list of players under a given school will not be complete. The criteria for inclusion is that the player is already listed on the site (under the player inclusion rules) and that the school has been assigned to him. If a player is on the site and the school has not yet been assigned, let us know through the "Edit Player Profile" link.
Mistakes?Yes, there are mistakes. There may be schools listed twice in two different cities. There may be players assigned to the wrong school. There may be mis-spelled schools or schools that have changed names and are listed with their old and new name. I'm not an American High School expert (I'm not even American!) and I do the best I can to keep the section interesting.
And please, this is very important as I've had dozens of people make this mistake... Don't send me an email saying you went to LHS and you want to be includes. There is no way I know what LHS means and you'd be better served to send me the exact high school name and town.

Iran judiciary denies U.S. men's release is imminent
Sep 14, 2011, 1:27 a.m.
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Two U.S. nationals arrested while hiking in Iran and convicted of spying will not be released imminently, as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had announced, a judiciary official said on Wednesday.
"The two Americans are going to stay in prison for a bit longer. Reports of their imminent release are wrong," Iran's English-language Press TV quoted a judiciary official as saying.
Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were sentenced in Iran last month to eight years in prison. Ahmadinejad told U.S. media that they would be freed "in a couple of days," in what he called a humanitarian gesture shortly before he travels to the United Nations in New York.

CROWN POINT — The Redevelopment Commission has come to an understanding with Neises Lawn Care & Landscaping to do landscaping at a cost not to exceed $25,000 at the Bulldog Boulevard entrance into the Sportsplex.
Drawings first presented to the commission June 10 did not genrate a positive response.
"There is no complete proposal here," said commission member Brad Bosse.
Commission and City Council member Carol Drasga, who spent years working on beautifying the square as a founding member of Stewards of the Square is also a master gardener through the Purdue University Cooperative Extension, found the number of perennials in the drawing worrisome.
They would spread over the years, she said. "We don't want to have it overgrown."
A committee was formed of Drasga and Bosse to work with Neises.
Bosse said earlier this week that he, Drasga and commission member and mayor's chief of staff Keith Stevens met with Cory Neises at the Sportsplex and changed the scope of types of plantings to reflect long-term growth.
Stevens said they had come to an understanding about the plantings and other landscaping services.
The contract includes all of the landscaping design services as well as the landscaping materials and labor.

What can we do to get rid of my daughter's body odor from Crohn's disease or Remicade?
- Q: My 11-year old daughter has Crohn's disease, and she has a bad smell coming out of her body. What can we do to get rid of the smell or slow it down? She is on Remicade treatments also once a month. The smell is like an underarm problem. I feel so bad for her, and it's been going on for a year.
- A: Remicade (infliximab) is an injectable medication used to help alleviate the symptoms of autoimmune disorders. An autoimmune disorder is when the body's own immune system attacks itself causing pain, swelling, and damage. Some of the autoimmune diseases Remicade may be used for include rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis (which can affect the joints of the spine), psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. Remicade may decrease the body's ability to fight infection. This may increase the risk of contracting a serious bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. The most common side effects of Remicade include headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, cough, sinusitis, sore throat, liver problems, and infection. A search of the prescribing information did not specifically list odor or body odor as a side effect. Increased sweating was listed as a potential side effect of Remicade in the prescribing information. Please consult with your daughter's doctor about the symptoms she is experiencing. This is not a complete list of the side effects associated with Remicade. For more specific information, consult with a doctor for guidance based on your daughter's health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. When your daughter's doctor prescribes a new medication, be sure to discuss all prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, minerals, and herbals, as well as the foods she eats. Always keep a current list of the drugs and supplements she takes and review it with your daughter's health care providers and pharmacist. If possible, use one pharmacy for all prescription medications and over-the-counter products. This allows the pharmacist to keep a complete record of all prescription drugs and to advise you about drug interactions and side effects. Tell your daughter's health care provider about any negative side effects from prescription drugs. You can also report them to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by visiting www.fda.gov/medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088. Kristen Dore, PharmD

UPA Adopts New Commercial Content Policy
Rich Gunther
Rich Gunther serves as UPA's Secretary and Director of Members and Volunteers. Rich has been in the usability field since 1998. He currently is a principal and co-owner of Ovo Studios, a usability lab and software tools vendor, as well as a partner in The Usability Team, a user experience consultancy.
The UPA adopted a new policy covering how it treats commercial content in all channels. Historically UPA has lacked a well-defined policy on what content is permissible for inclusion in publications, presentation at conferences, or endorsement with the UPA brand and identity. In absence of such a policy, issues arose at times when guidelines were not consistently applied.
In late 2009, the UPA Board of Directors surveyed a group of committee and chapter leaders to assess their attitudes about including so-called "sales" or "commercial" content. The results of this survey were analyzed and used to inform a draft policy statement. This statement was reviewed by UPA leadership and revised based on their feedback. In January 2010, a motion to approve the policy was presented and passed unanimously.
New Policy
The policy will go into effect immediately and should be used to inform content planning for conferences, events, and publications at all levels of the UPA organization. The policy is as follows:
"When considering content for UPA Conferences, Publications, Events, or the UPA Web site, it is important to consider if the content discusses products or services that are for-profit or commercial. This content could take the following forms:
While content of this type should not be immediately disallowed, it should be classified into one of two categories: Commercial Non-Sales and Commercial Sales.
Commercial Non-Sales Content
Commercial Non-Sales content should be entitled to the same benefits and treatment, and also subjected to the same scrutiny as any other UPA content. It is important that this content:
Commercial Sales Content
On the other hand, Commercial Sales content must be presented without conflict of interest, with full disclosure, and must provide a tangible benefit to the organization. It is important that this content:

Raw Therapee is an open source image processing tool which provides a huge range of ways to enhance your digital photos and other images. (As the name suggests, it's intended for use with raw files from digital cameras, but the program can also import JPEG, TIFF and PNG files.)
The vast array of high-end novices will quickly confuse the image processing novice, but if you know what you're doing then there's a great deal to explore here.
RAW image quality may be enhanced by a good range of demosaicing algorithms, for instance: AMaZE, DCB, fast, AHD, EAHD, HPHD & VNG4.
Colour handling controls cover everything from simple channel mixing and RGB curves, to white balance, HSV, vibrance and more.
Would you like to enhance details? The Detail pane contains no less than seven options: Sharpening, Edges, Microcontrast, Impulse Noise Reduction, Noise Reduction, Defringe and Contrast by detail levels. And each of these is highly configurable, so for example select Sharpening and you can choose the algorithm (Unsharp Mask or RL Deconvolution), radius, amount, threshold and more.
And you also get great exposure controls, a stack of powerful lens/ geometry correction tools, EXIF/ IPTC metadata editing, batch processing, command line control, lots of configuration options, and the list goes on.
Beginners should look elsewhere, then, but if you're familiar with this kind of high-end image processing tool then you'll get a lot out of Raw Therapee. Its interface is occasionally clunky and performance isn't always as good as the authors appear to think, but there's an enormous array of processing power on offer and it's a great way to get the very most from your digital images.
New features in 4.1.1:
•Pipette tool for curves.
•Support for floating-point HDR raw DNG images.
•Enhanced interface
•Enhanced focus mask.
•Skin-tones targetting for Contrast by Detail Levels tool.
