Governor Deal issued an executive order that agency heads and his staff cannot accept gifts over $25 dollars, but that does not extend to Georgia's part-time legislature.
The state Public Service Commission wants to penalize Georgia Power for any cost overruns associated with building two new reactors at Plant Vogtle near Augusta. Officials with the utility are against the plan.
The state agency that administers Medicaid faces about a billion dollar hole with the loss of stimulus dollars. Georgia's Medicaid program will be supported by cuts to other state agencies, but some Medicaid services may be lost.
Georgia's Wildlife Management Areas are at risk because of dwindling state funds, and hunters and anglers may have to pay more to access the recreational lands. The Department of Natural Resources proposes spending $200,000 less on leasing land for Wildlife Management Areas.
150 years ago, Georgia legislators voted to secede from the Union. Three months later, the nation entered a 4-year Civil War that left 600-thousand men dead and millions wounded. A new book illustrates Georgia sites that commemorate the war. Rickey Bevington speaks with Barry L. Brown, co-author of "Crossroads of Conflict: A Guide to Civil War Sites in Georgia."
A half dozen white men dressed in mid-19th century waistcoats and blouses re-enact the political debate of 150 years ago. Rick Joslyn and his fellow actors are in the original state House Chamber in Georgia's Old Capitol building in Milledgeville. It was in this room, where delegates decided to leave the Union.
He says 40 percent of Georgia's prisoners are non violent offenders who are costing the state billions of dollars to stay locked up.
State Senator Republican Jack Murphy says he's innocent of federal charges brought against him. The FDIC is suing him and others who sat on the board of a failed local bank. The civil lawsuit alleges the bank violated banking laws.
Board of Regents Chancellor Errol Davis told lawmakers Tuesday that tuition at Georgia's 35 colleges and universities will go up if budget cuts of $185 million are approved. Davis warned that the system cannot take another year with deep cuts.
Budget hearings begin this morning at the state Capitol, the time when the state's lawmakers hear from agency heads about their spending plans.

Handset manufacturers at the wireless industry's trade show mostly downplayed or kept silent about the potential loss of one of their largest customers in T-Mobile USA, even as they were inundated with questions about the proposed blockbuster deal.
Two days into the usually device-centric CTIA Wireless industry conference, AT&T's $39 billion deal for Deutsche Telekom AG's US wireless arm remained the show's dominating theme. However, it has proven to be an awkward topic that was discussed in closed quarters but not publicly. "It's been 48 hours," said Hans Vestberg, chief executive of telecom equipment maker L.M. Ericsson Telephone. "It's too early to comment." The public silence comes partly because companies had little time to process the deal. Many were still preparing for their own announcements, with some only finding out when they arrived in Orlando. The reluctance also may reflect the fear of angering a powerful customer. AT&T, the No. 2 carrier in the nation, is poised to have even more bargaining power over the industry if it completes the purchase of T-Mobile.

Hi: 5° Lo:0°
PLANS to install a cycle lane could reduce parking for town centre workers.
As part of an agreement between Sainsbury's and Worcestershire County Council a cycle lane could run down Fishing Line Road to provide access to the store off the Alvechurch Highway.
As the Standard reported last week, Redditch Borough councillors approved the store expansion which included improvement works on Lydham Close underpass and the introduction of a cycle route.
But currently people working in the town centre use both sides of the road to park their cars and the installation of a new lane could mean restrictions are put in place.
Some of the options available include putting the lane on the pavement but it usually needs to be at least three metres wide.
Another would be a mandatory cycle lane where the lane would be marked with a continuous white line and is supported by a Traffic Regulation Order which prohibits vehicles from driving or parking in the lane.
The option of an advisory cycle lane would be marked with a broken white line and would have no Traffic Regulation Order.
Graham Vickery, Worcestershire County councillor for Redditch North, said he encouraged the introduction of a cycle lane but the impact on those wanting to park their cares there would need to be assessed.
He added it would be part of a wider strategic review of on-street parking around the town centre.
A spokesman from Worcestershire County Council said the exact details of the plans were yet to be confirmed and they were still in discussions with Sainsbury's.
Coun John Smith OBE, responsible for highways on the county council, said: "There is an existing planning permission for this site which has a S106 agreement associated which caters for cycling improvements in the area.
"Sainsbury's have submitted a new planning application for this site which will achieve the same goal in relation to cycling improvements."

Every time a huge blockbuster comes out, mistakes are found. In fact, there's an entire website dedicated to finding blunders in movies. And coming in at number one is Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
Moviemistakes editor Jon Sandys says, "With the budget of many movies, you'd think they could avoid mistakes like this, or at least use computers to cover them up, but they keep cropping up, and eagle-eyed movie fans keep spotting them."
The full list of 2008's continuity-challenged films is as follows:
1. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 64 mistakes
2. Mamma Mia! - 44 mistakes
3. The Dark Knight - 43 mistakes
4. Twilight - 41 mistakes
5. High School Musical 3: Senior Year - 41 mistakes
6. Journey to the Center of the Earth - 31 mistakes
7. Quantum of Solace - 23 mistakes
8. Get Smart - 22 mistakes
9. Step Brothers - 22 mistakes
10. Iron Man - 21 mistakes
This reminds of the movie "Knocked Up" where the useless guys want to start a website that has the most boob shots. Hey, if they have the time to sit through a movie and pick out the mistakes, we are willing to read about it!

Seafood and stuff to Portuguese
In the "good old days" Ayamonte was famous among the Portuguese for selling seafood at a very cheap price. We Portuguese are better than Spanish cooking seafood, so many people bought there to cook at home. The prices normalised, and today the visitors prefer to eat in location just to taste the different tastes.
Commerce is not so strong anymore, but buying abroad keeps being a temptation.- Arts and Culture
- Architecture
Any station: Fuel
Portuguese living close to the border go regularly to Spain to fill their tanks. The differences in price are very big, and do compensate the extra kilometers needed to refuel.
Even those who travel abroad can't cross the border back to Portugal without a stop to fill, but I think that the other traditional commerce is decreasing. -
Shopping in Ayamonte: Shopping in Ayamonte
Explore the narrow streets and pleasant shady squares with its pavements cafe's, restaurants, boutiques, shops and the twice weekly market.

I am old enough to mistrust any politician or religionist who talks about anything as a "moral imperative" because it usually implies mob justice and the crushing of civil liberties. Look at the history of the World. Look at ISIS right now whose highest priority is the moral imperative of submission to Islam. Tell me I'm wrong.
Francis is a communist. Lashing his religion to the religion of AGW, complete with social justice wealth redistribution as the solution, comes as no surprise.
I bet right now a lot of Catholics are longing for the days of Pope John Paul II, a man who spent his life fighting the Nazis and communists.
Paul Graham's incorrect argument assumes that all countries will produce great programmers in equal proportions to their populations. He couldn't be more spectacularly wrong.
People from other countries where tribalism (Pakistan), extreme deference to authority (China), and extreme elder worship (India) are the rule, fall to the ingenuity, independence, creativity, and innovation of Americans, every, single, time. The majority of the cultural and genetic makeup of the continent for its first 500 years was that of people willing to risk their lives to come here, work hard, be independent, and make their own way. The effects of that are not easily undone. Paul Graham has fallen into the fallacy of thinking that all countries are the same, all cultures the same, all people the same, and thus their outputs should all be the same. What a dolt!
My company has an Indian subsidiary that we use to handle some of our simpler engineering issues at lower cost. And that's the point. They handle the simple issues, because even their best engineers can't be trusted with our complicated issues. We have to solve those ourselves.
So while the US may only have 5% of the world's population, it's not inconceivable that we could be producing 95% or better of the great programmers already.
If you're going to outright make things up and lie on the internet, you need to stick to topics that are harder to validate.
Here's the toxicology report from the St. Louis County Medical Examiner: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/n...
Since you're not much for fact-finding, investigation, reading, or truth, I'll sum up the relevant part: He had THC in his blood and urine because he had been smoking pot.
Here's the summary from the autopsy that Michael Brown's own family had performed on his body by an examiner of their choosing: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/n...
It states that his blood showed evidence of recent marijuana use.
Additionally, he physically had marijuana on him when he was shot: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/n...
I often wonder at the psychology of a person like you who gets so emotionally involved in something that you throw all desire for objectivity to the wind and simply make things up in order to feel better about your decision to support something.
So let me get this straight:
Delegates (ie, representatives and their entourages, servants, security, family, etc) from 200 nations will all be taking their private jets to a city located in a subtropical desert during the summer, where they'll sit around for a week in luxurious air conditioning discussing an agreement that they may decide to agree to a year later when they all travel by private jet to Paris to do it all over again.
And we're expected to take these people seriously when it comes to what they say concerning carbon emissions, global warming, and how to stop it? If they wanted to be taken seriously, they'd hold the meeting using Skype and live stream it for everyone to watch, but then they couldn't enjoy the luxury of emitting a hundred million tons of CO2 to have their discussion about how to emit less CO2.
What a bunch of clowns!
The public has a great lobbying group on this, the EFF. It's just that not enough people have decided that their rights are worth $25/year. If the ranks of the EFF swelled to level of those of the NRA, this whole conversation would be different; instead of reading an article about how the FCC is going to do whatever it wants we'd be reading an article about how the FCC is carefully evaluating the EFF's 80-page comment on network neutrality while EFF lawyers prepare their lawsuit should the rule making process fail, and in the meantime the EFF will unleash their loyal congressmen to grill the head of the FCC in some committee hearings.
It's not magic. Your voice doesn't count unless you stand and speak.

Now that chances of the intruder actually being a threat is actually really small. The odds of him having anything realistically dangerous without a sufficiently sized container to hide it in, like the previously mentioned backpack, is also really small.
This intruder had a knife, though I can't find details on what kind it was (12" bowie, or 1.5" Swiss army). A hostile person with a knife, within 21 feet of you, is widely considered a lethal threat. Many police departments teach their officers that they can use lethal force against a hostile person with a knife within 21 feet. The same is taught in concealed handgun licensing classes in many states. Twenty-one feet is chosen because that's the distance an average person can travel, from a standstill, in one second.
Over the decades, there have been lots of people that have broken into the white house grounds. I've never heard even a single one of those reports in the last century being of hostile intent. (Weird and or confused, but not hostile.)
Plane crashed INTO the White House on purpose in 1994
This guy didn't break in... Guy deemed not crazy shoots at White House, trying to kill President Clinton.
Neither did this guy, but both of them were active threats, and either one of them could have just tossed their guns over the fence before climbing it themselves.
The secret service is in a tough spot: they can't really just shoot dead every deranged person who comes over the fence, but sooner or later someone wearing a suicide vest or explosive underwear is going to come over the fence with a dead-man's switch. And we all know he doesn't need to hurt anyone or do any damage for the government and populace to overreact and start doing things much worse than terrorists could ever do.
It's a real threat.

"What moral authority," you ask? The moral authority granted by decades of Californians begging for more government at every opportunity. Now they've got it and they're realizing they don't like it.
But it's okay; instead of admit the mistake and start working to reign in the overlords they've manufactured, they'll just move to other nice states with smaller governments, functional economies, good jobs, and affordable standards of living, where they'll promptly begin to recreate the same mistakes they made in California.
It's already happening in Oregon, Washington, and especially Colorado. Austin is getting a good dose of it too, and Utah is in for a rude awakening in the next couple of years.
Funny that the Ukrainians think Zuckerberg cares. He's the worst kind of anti-freedom, in-bed-with-the-government, limousine socialist there is. Mr. Open-All-The-Borders hides behind his armed guards at his gated mansion so he wont have to be burdened with the consequences of his actions. Appealing to Zuckerberg to stop blocking their social media efforts is going to have about as much effect as appealing directly to Putin to stop invading.
And at the helm of the only NATO country that matters: Obama. NATO members with 1% and 2% of their budgets going towards defense are in for a rude awakening when they realize that the US isn't coming to their rescue. Obama doesn't have a strategy for confronting ISIS; do you think he has any plan for dealing with Russia? The only thing he knows for sure are his tee times for the next month.
This must be that flexibility he told Putin he'd have after the 2012 election. It's the flexibility to let his own foreign policy chickens come home to roost and the world go to shit while he ignores it from the golf course.
Turn the EFF into the NRA of online rights. If the EFF had 5,000,000 dues paying, donating, voting, vocal, invested members, we wouldn't be having these discussions about ISPs writing their own laws. The hardest part is already done: organizing some people who know what they're doing into what is now the EFF.
People just need to decide that their rights are worth at least $25/year.
Actions like this are how you get the other half to agree to do things to reduce CO2 emissions.
Good step: Offer to eliminate tariffs on solar panels and other things.
Bad step: Call anyone who so much as questions ANYTHING a denier.
Good step: Get behind building LOTS of modern nuclear plants. LOTS.
Bad step: Say that anyone who so much as questions ANYTHING should be arrested. https://theconversation.com/is...
Good step: Get behind building LOTS of electric cars, and the technology to increase batteries' energy density.
Bad step: Say that anyone who so much as questions ANYTHING should be killed. http://www.americanthinker.com...
Much of the political opposition that the Global Warming people get is because they believe that all of their solutions are so good that they should be mandatory. They come to you and say that you'll have to give up your money, your freedom, your independence, and your quality of life. This is all demanded at the barrel of a gun with the implication that if you don't capitulate, you'll also have to give up your life itself.
Environmentalists have made many great missteps, the two largest being not loudly denouncing those among them that call for murder of anyone who dissents, and continuously pushing plans that they know half the population will never get behind.
You want to reduce CO2 emissions? Suggest plans for it that everyone can support. Leave the death threats at home. ; )
Bell Helicopter is developing a tilt rotor aircraft for this competition: http://youtu.be/1O3Onyas984
If you take the V-22, and remove the Marine Corps' requirements for blade-fold-wing-stow and rotors small enough to launch off of a Marine helicopter ship, you free up a huge amount of design room to increase performance.
The Army doesn't want Apaches. They want a medium lift technology demonstrator that will replace their Blackhawk fleet while providing much more capability by exploring new vertical lift technologies. Then they'll run separate competitions to scale the technology up and down in size to replace their Apaches, Little Birds, and Chinooks.

Lucky in love
By Christina Darnell | Photography by Nathan Abplanalp Photography
Posted: Monday, Oct. 24, 2011
Taylor Cairns has fond memories of the Appalcart during her years at Appalachian State University. It was on the free town bus that she first met Billy Stiles, and its where he eventually asked Taylor to be his girlfriend. He said that if he proposed it wouldnt be on the bus, she laughs.
Since their college years held cherished memories, Billy took Taylor back to Appalachian to celebrate her birthday in September 2009. They ate breakfast at their favorite restaurant, shopped in Blowing Rock and drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It wasnt until Billy pulled over at a familiar spot the lookout where they had their first date that Taylor realized he was up to something. Billy led her out of the car and said he hoped to tell their future children this was where their parents first dated and fell in love and where their dad asked their mom to marry him. He slipped a ring onto her finger after Taylor exclaimed Yes! Months later, in June, a storm threatened the couples outside wedding plans. It stormed until 6 p.m., Taylor says. For a while, I was thinking we wouldnt be able to get married. As if on cue, the clouds cleared, the temperature dropped to 70 degrees, and the sunset glowed in the sky. It was the most beautiful sunset you could ever ask for, she remembers.After the storm subsided, Taylor walked down the aisle of the lawn in a gown from J Majors Bridal Boutique. The best thing about our wedding day was when we met eyes as I walked down the aisle, Taylor says. We always give each other the sign for love in sign language, and as I was walking down the aisle, I signed it to him and he signed it back. That was the most special moment for us both.Standing by to capture the moments of celebration were Nate and Rachel from Nathan Abplanalp Photography. They captured the small, special details, Taylor says. The wedding, which incorporated a Shabby Chic theme, incorporated flowers from Willow Branch Flowers and Design. The guest favors included some flavor from the groom. Lottery tickets were placed on each guests chair in an envelope that read, We are lucky to have you in our lives. Taylor says, After the wedding, we kept getting all these calls from people who had won! Featured Vendors:FlowersWillow Branch Flowers and Design

Poor ticket sales, expected protests scuttle Bush-McCain fundraiser at Phoenix Convention Center
- Mike Sunnucks
A Tuesday fundraiser headlined by President Bush for U.S. Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is being moved out of the Phoenix Convention Center.
Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside the venue than attending the fundraiser inside.
Another source said there were concerns about the media covering the event.
Bush's Arizona fundraising effort for McCain is being moved to private residences in the Phoenix area. A White House official said the event was being moved because the McCain campaign prefers private fundraisers and it is Bush administration policy to have events in public venues open to the media. The White House official said to reconcile that the Tuesday event will be held at a private venue and not the Convention Center.
Convention Center personnel confirmed the event has been canceled at their venue.
Tickets to the event were to range from $1,000 to $25,000 for VIP treatment. Money was to go toward McCain's presidential bid and a number of Republican Party organs.
Anti-war protesters were planning to be out in force. President Bush's job approval rating stands at 31 percent, according to RealClearPolitics.com.
The McCain campaign referred questions on the fundraiser change to the White House press office.

The 1912 Boston Red Sox season involved the Red Sox finishing 1st in the American League with a record of 105 wins and 47 losses. Behind center fielder Tris Speaker and pitcher Smoky Joe Wood, they led the league in runs scored and fewest runs allowed. Speaker was third in batting and was voted league MVP. Wood won 34 games, including a record 16 in a row.
They defeated the New York Giants in 8 games in the 1912 World Series. One of the deciding plays was a muffed fly ball by Giants outfielder Fred Snodgrass (known as the $30,000 muff, the 30,000 referring to the prize money for the winner).
This team won a surprising amount of games with the players it had. The pitching staff was good, but there were no stars besides Wood. The starting lineup featured no stars other than Speaker. Little-known third baseman Larry Gardner was the next best hitter. Future Hall of Famer Harry Hooper had a poor offensive season.
Fenway Park opened on April 20, the same day as Navin Field in Detroit. It was supposed to be opened on April 18 (like Navin Field) but it rained in both cities on that day.
On April 26, Hugh Bradley became the first player to hit a home run over the Green Monster at Fenway Park. It was his only home run of the 1912 season, and one of only two he hit in his career, which spanned five seasons.

Also listed at Market Place. The 1909 town Rates book (which lists the pub at 24 Cross St) describes it as "Late Crown Inn". Since this book was in use until the early 1930s and the last directory entry found was from 1925, we can infer that it closed between those dates.

I tried this with my first child. I was 38 weeks and 1 cm dialated. I mixed it up with some orange juice at about 2:00 p.m. I didn't feel anything, never, got sick or had to go to the bathroom. I wook up at about 12:00 am with really bad back pain. It was not a come and go pain it was constant so I didn't think it was contractions. It finally eased up enough for me to go back to sleep at about 5. I woke back up at about 9:30 feeling nothing at all. I had a dr's appt at 11:00 and when I got there he told me I was 5 cm and was in labor and sent me over to the hospital. I had my son at 5:06 and it was very painless. I would def. do it again!posted 04/06/2010 by adf4447
Castor Oil can help you go into labor ONLY if you're already dilated + effaced. Get the OKAY from your health care provider before you take it because if your body is not ready then it's just going to make you sick as a dog with no rewards IE: baby.posted 01/27/2008 by mama_biscuit
Castor oil definitely works. I am 38wks and 2 days today. I read all these posts yesterday about it really working so I tried it. Last night at 11:30 I mixed 1 oz of castor oil with orange juice and held my nose while I drank it. One hr later I began to feel slight cramps but I just went to bed. I awoke at 530am to use the bathroom I noticed blood I started worrying moments later my water bag broke. Then 10 mins later contractions hit out if nowhere coming fast strong and hard 5 mins apart. I headed to the hospital made it there by 730am and had my healthy 7.5lb daughter at 11:15am this morning. She is doing great!posted 12/21/2012 by destinyj8921
I tried Castor Oil with my first pregnany. Before I took it I was 2 Cm and 40%effacced. I took it at night after dinner, and went into active labor at 4 in the morning! I did have diahrrea but not much. I ate a small dinner and hydrated myself to prevent real bad diahherea. I am on my second child, and I am 37 weeks. I took the oil about 2 hours ago, and I am starting to contract.posted 05/24/2010 by seths_mommy07
I was 38 weeks pregnantand drank 3 to 4 oz of castor oil at 9:3am(mixed with orange juice)then about a half hour later i puked and had diarrhea, which that didn't last that long and about 10 hours later i started having contractions, went to the hospital at 10:30 and by 12:56 i had my baby! I'm now 38 weeks pregnant with my third baby and i'm not going to take castor oil, try to go in labor on my own like i did the first time!!posted 09/11/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

Dont do it! It has a high probability of sending your baby and your body into distress! Every medical professional I know has told me this. My own mother (who is an operating room tech) has delt with mothers who took castor oil and sent their bodies into so much distress that they ended up having a misscariage/stillbirth. Please do not try it, it is not worth the risk.posted 03/10/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

I drank castor oil straight out of the bottle at exactly 40 weeks. I didn't have any diarrhea or anything. I walked up and down a hill several times. I started having very mind contractions about 2 hours after the oil. I had my perfectly healthy 7.5 lb baby boy 5 hours after drinking the oil. It works if you drink it straight with nothing added!

Hi: 4° Lo:-10°
DEMONSTRATING the growth of competitive swimming, Stratford Sharks fielded 19, four-strong teams in the Coventry and District Team Races at the 50 metre Coventry Olympic pool.
Competing against teams from seven other clubs, the recent long course training obviously paid dividends with the teams securing six first, five second and 11 third places.
The nine-year-old girls A team of Laura Griffiths, Nadia Rogers, Sofia Hodges and Kathryne Hughes secured the first trophy by winning the 4 x 50m freestyle relay by over four seconds.
Then, in a very closely contested race, the B team of Alicia Benjamin, Kiera Kennedy, Isabelle Hopper and Amelie Ristov missed out on their win by just three tenths of a second.
In the ten-year-old age group both girls teams were outstanding. The A team of Madeline Hoare, Ella Vickers, Caitlin Craddock and Isobel Foster won their 4 x 50m freestyle relay by a clear 12 seconds.
They followed up with another win, this time with a margin of ten seconds, in the 4 x 50m medley relay.
Not to be outdone, the B team of Abbie Wootton, Grace Hale, Isabelle Hirst and Abigail Boff won their 4 x 50m freestyle race by 14 seconds and added a medley relay victory by 17 seconds.
The nine-year-old boys A team of Daniel Cox, Morgan Evans, Joel Watson and Cole Lyson were third in the freestyle relay then went one better in the medley relay.
The B team of Christopher Hildreth, Cameron Black plus brothers James and Matthew Bexson emulated those results.
The ten-year-old boys A team of Thomas Beamer, Nick Evans, Alex Goodfellow and Kieran Speechly were beaten into second place by just over one second in the freestyle relay. They slipped to third place in the medley relay.
William Foster, Robin Hughes, Michael Allen and Owen Lawton added to the meal haul by securing two third places in the 11/12 years A team races.
The boys B team in the 15/over age group also took two bronze medals with Alex Callaghan returning to competitive swimming alongside Andrew Morley, James Wimbury and Ed Caswell.
More medals came in the girls B team races. In the 11/12 years age group, Charlotte Cox, Hannah Lythgo, Lydia Clarke and Charlotte Clements took silver in the freestyle then, with Lauren Penny replacing Cox, took bronze in the medley.
Seren Mahon, Ysabelle Caswell, Chloe Hale and Hannah Willis took bronze in both their 13/14 years races. Willis produced a particularly strong last leg in the medley to overhaul the third place swimmer by six hundredths of a second.
Competition in the older age groups produced much closer finishes with the Sharks teams finishing just off the pace with several fourth places.

SYNOPSIS: Harry Payne, a reformed gangster, has retired to the country town Norfolk just in time for a slew of disturbing, occult-related murders. REVIEW: Harry Payne (Tony Scannell) has just served ten years in prison for the murder of his boss and best friend, Eugene McCann (P.H. Moriarity). Judging by all the tremulous, violent flashback sequences, you'd guess that Harry's still—well—haunted by his past. "I lost everything when I pulled that trigger," he says. And … Continue reading

English cricket county side Surrey Friday confirmed the signing of Sri Lanka batsman Kumar Sangakkara.
Veteran Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara has expressed his keenness to join English county side Surrey during the next season.
A 33-year-old Indian-Canadian has been charged with the murder of another Indian-origin man in Canada.
Ousted England batsman Kevin Pietersen is reportedly set to resume his cricket career in South Africa within a fortnight.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has said the possibility of taking legal action against former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen for allegedly violating confidentiality clauses in writing his autobiography, still exists.
Cheteshwar Pujara made his first significant contribution in the 'English Summer' as his attractive unbeaten 90 helped Derbyshire overpower Surrey by eight wickets in a Division Two of County Championships here Wednesday.
England all-rounder Moeen Ali has revealed that he would be happy doing alright for England even if he does not get the chance to play for his county club Worcestershire.
Kevin Pietersen`s faint hopes of an England recall suffered another blow on Monday when Surrey confirmed he was unlikely to play any first-class cricket in the final weeks of the season.
Uncapped South Africa-born batsman Jason Roy suffered an injury scare on Sunday, hours after being included in England`s 14-man squad for next weekend`s Twenty20 international against India at Edgbaston.
Former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood hopes to make mental health less of a "taboo" subject in South Asia.
Kevin Pietersen feels that IPL-style T20 cricket tournament will benefit English cricket. Talking to All Out Cricket magazine, the former English skipper said that franchise cricket would work in the United Kingdom.

Kevin Pietersen suffered a disappointing return to action in English cricket as he scored just five runs for Surrey in their five-wicket defeat against Essex on Friday.
The saga of Kevin Pietersen`s extraordinary exit from the international arena took a fresh twist Friday when the England and Wales Cricket Board and its managing director, Paul Downton, apologised for criticism of the batsman made by the former England wicketkeeper.
Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith has no immediate plans to retire despite suffering another serious injury and sending what seemed a farewell message earlier this week.
Kevin Pietersen`s return to action for Surrey following his controversial England exit has been delayed due to a finger injury.
A day after finishing second in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, Ireland`s Shane Lowry booked his place in next month`s U.S. Open by heading the international sectional qualifier held in England on Monday.
Chris Jordan has urged England to put him to Test cricket as he targeted a long cricket career in the country following an all-round display of talent against Sri Lanka.

Futurestep is a company of achievers and expected high performance. It is not for anyone who wants to pass the time doing average work. Performers are well treated and those trying to improve their level of engagement and who have self awareness are also well treated with lots of feedback for improvement. Best performers are best compensated and those who don't perform just don't make it. Executive Leadership team is innovative and the people are very professional overall. Great place to be for people who want to surround themselves with competence. Tons of room for advancement. Great CEO.
Very few downsides as it's an empowering environment in general. You definitely need to be someone who can follow process if you are a recruiter.

Here's what Mark had to say:
"The outlook for the holiday season is not that encouraging at the present. We have virtually no snow, gas prices are approaching $4, the writers guild is on strike, the housing market is getting worse, foreclosures are running rampant, vendors are competing with their loyal retailers, chain stores continue to open on top of each other and independent retailers, and the news media keeps reporting gloom and doom and, essentially, indirectly telling the consumers to stay home.
"All this considered, I would not be expecting sales to grow over last year. We have ordered more conservatively but perhaps not conservatively enough.
"With the water getting so cold so soon we are expecting wet suit sales to be holding their own. Of course, O'Neill Psycho will continue being the strongest suit. In snow we continue to see growing interest in Lib Techs Magna Traction and now, this year, with their Banana Technology. We also expect Ride and Rome to be consistent sellers as well. Grenade is also one of my strongest, growing brands.
"In surf, we see the new team at Rusty making an impact and see their boards coming on strong for the holidays and into spring. Our own line of new T-shirt designs has been really well accepted and we plan on them being in high demand.
"Strong brands continue to be Volcom, RVCA, KR3W, O'Neill, and Mattix just to name a few."

- Overview
This compact Electric Zoom lens has a maximum magnification of 4.2X, covering a range that extends from a wide angle of 24mm (35mm camera equivalent) - ideal for taking wide shots even indoors - to a medium telephoto focal length of 100mm (35mm camera equivalent), - optimal for portraits. There are two technologies within this lens that make it particularly well suited to shooting video; the Auto Focus system utilizes Olympus' MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism that employs a newly developed linear motor drive that enables faster, quieter focusing, and a newly developed motorized zoom mechanism that delivers quiet and smooth zooming. You can even remotely control the Electric Zoom function using Olympus' free O.I.Share smart device app when mounted on a Wifi enabled Olympus camera body. And although the 12-50mm features electric zooming operation, it can also be switched to a traditional mechanical zoom mode by simply moving the Zoom Ring to the mechanical zoom mode position.
And more, when the Zoom Ring is moved to the forward-most position it activates the Macro mode allowing close focusing down to 8 inches with a maximum image magnification of .72X. A "Status" window built into the body of the lens shows at a glance which mode is engaged. A lens "FN" or function button can be customized just like the function button on a camera body allowing quick access to frequently changed settings. How about Durability? This lens features Olympus' Dust and Splash-proof construction, so when it is matched with a Weatherproof OM-D body, rain, wind or snow won't interfere with your photography. An optional dedicated bayonet attachment LH-55C Lens Hood handles harsh or stray light from causing aberration and doesn't interfere when fitting a lens filter.

A bit too much kit in one lens
Had one that came with my E-M5. Unfortunately, no longer use it for anything.
This is a sort of classic case of a jack-of-all-trades lens. It does a bit of everything. Macro, wideangle, short-telephoto, manual & electric zoom, weatherproofing, relatively low price.
Unfortunately, there are quite a bit of drawbacks to this lens design. My first annoyance with it is the electric and manual zoom is much too easy to switch back and forth between. I often find myself twisting the zoom ring, only to get a few mm of travel because I inadvertently moved the ring forwards (or was it backwards?) I know it makes for a better video-centric design to have the option for both, but it very confusing the way it it implemented here. I would have just picked one or the other.
Another drawback is the very slow aperture at 50mm, which forces a higher minimum ISO when lower is needed to handle camera shake, and also removes the ability to achieve a shallow DoF often desired at this FL.
The lack of sharpness from this lens is also a disappointment, where even the other standard kit zoom lenses perform better, short of the 12mm wide-angle that this one has (others start at 14mm).
It's also a fairly lengthy lens, and not at all in the spirit of a compact system from m4/3.
I would say that casual HD video is the main purpose of this lens, but that's not exactly a great thing to state. Anyone with a planned production in mind would not use a lens like this.
The only other thing I can say is that this is a decent, but not great low cost weatherproof lens for those on a budget. But if you're on a budget, it is doubtful you have a weather-sealed camera to go with it.
Or many you just want one lens, even if it's only so-so because changing lenses is a pain. That begs the question of using a camera with interchangeable lens capability from the excellent high end point and shoots now available.
There just isn't a particular set of realistic circumstances where I can state that this lens does it best, and that is why it remains an unpopular choice.
Well, at least the build quality of mine was fine, and the lens works okay. That's about all I remember of it.

Divers - "Glass Chimes" (via Rumbletowne Records)
(Rendezvous) Hello, I work here, and I am in one of these bands. Are you okay? Are you still here? Glad we could talk. Now then, Divers are from Portland, and they are rad. SO rad, in fact, that my alternate universe twin, music editor of the Portland Mercury, Ned Lannamann, e-mailed me to say, "Hey YOU, Divers are AWESOME." And I was like, "I KNOW, right?" Then we internet high-fived and music notes shot out of our computers. So there you have it: Two people who talk about music in two free weeklies in two Pacific Northwest cities CAN'T BE WRONG. Divers play big punk rock 'n' roll—suitable for dancing to, sweating to, losing your voice to, and fist-pumping in your white T-shirt like it's the '80s and the Boss is your actual boss and you just got a bonus.

What Mortgage Lenders Can and Can't Ask Under Federal Law
When going through the application process for a home loan, your mortgage lender needs to learn about you so they can properly assess risk. But some of the questions they ask may take you aback, while others are downright illegal. Understanding the motives behind three legal lines of questioning, and spotting two types of questions lenders can't legally ask -- according to the Fair Housing Act and other federal law -- will help to better prepare you for the mortgage loan process.
Three Legal Questions
1. Are You Currently "Involved" in Any Lawsuits?
This question is part of the "declarations" section of every application for every new home loan or mortgage refinance. You have to answer and sign off on this section, swearing that your responses are true. Lenders get nosy about lawsuits because a big judgment can be very damaging. "Involved" means that you are a plaintiff or defendant. If you are, write an explanation for the underwriter, and address the following:
- the amount involved,
- your status (plaintiff or defendant),
- the existence of counter-claims,
- applicable insurance coverage, and
- the merits of your case (get a statement from your lawyer).
2. Your Divorce: We Want Details
Divorce is a personal matter -- but it's also an event that has financial consequences. Your mortgage lender may want to know about your divorce because it is a prime cause of bankruptcy. While, you can keep the dirty laundry to yourself, underwriters just want to understand the financial fallout. Who got the house and the payment? Who cuts checks for child support or alimony? Is everyone making their payments on time? Are there any joint accounts still open which could expose you to "contingent liability" if your ex fails to make payments? This will increases your debt-to-income ratio, and really affect your ability to get a new mortgage.
Why is it so difficult to get away from your former spouse's debt? It's because your creditors agreed to lend to you both, and only your creditors can release you from an obligation. A judge's order can't make only one of you responsible for debt incurred by both of you. So if your ex fails to obey the judge and defaults on an obligation, the creditor will almost certainly come after both of you for repayment.
This is also why lenders often refuse to approve new home loans for recently divorced spouses. Each of you must establish a good credit history independently. Per Fannie Mae, "The lender is required to evaluate the payment history for the assigned debt after the effective date of the assignment. The lender cannot disregard the borrower's payment history for the debt before its assignment." What if you have separated but not divorced? Most lenders require that you have a legal separation agreement and solid credit before you can get a mortgage loan on your own.
3. What Is Your Ethnic Background?
This question is part of the "information for government monitoring purposes" section in a standard mortgage application. It seems odd -- why would they ask this if discrimination based on race is illegal? Avoiding discrimination is exactly why they ask. If they don't ask, they're not complying with the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has lenders collect this data so it can look for patterns of discrimination. For example, lenders charging larger loan fees to minorities or declining minority mortgage applications more often than they do for other groups. You aren't required to answer (there is a box to check if you'd prefer not to), but then the loan officer has to make a guess about your origin and make a note for HUD.
Two Illegal Questions
1. Are You Planning a Family?
In the old unregulated days, loan officers routinely asked female applicants this pushy question. A widely held assumption in lending was that women would quit their jobs as soon as they got married or pregnant. Lenders who ask that today are committing a big blunder under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. They can ask about your marital status and the number of dependants you have to determine if you qualify as a first-time homebuyer. If you were once married and indicate that you formally owned a principal residence jointly with a spouse (and you have dependents), you qualify as a first-time homebuyer. Finally, underwriters can't treat income differently because of your gender or marital status. For example, they can no longer count a man's earnings at 100%, but a woman's at 75%. Also, they can't underwrite on the assumption that women will quit their jobs to raise children.
2. Are You Ill or Disabled?
Mortgage lenders aren't allowed to discriminate against applicants who are elderly, ill, or disabled, even if they are 90 years old and taking out a 30-year loan. Your age is only relevant in determining if you're old enough to sign a contract or if you are eligible for a reverse mortgage. The Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit discrimination based on health problems. Lenders can't treat you differently because of your gender, age, marital status, race, color, national origin, public assistance status, or if you filed any complaint under consumer protection laws. They cannot discourage qualified people from applying for a mortgage.
It's essential to know your rights when you shop for a mortgage. If you're asked an inappropriate question, report it, and then find another mortgage lender.
