Palace kitchen tour June 2
Leanne and Peter Gould's Bedford kitchen is one of eight in Bedford and Amherst that will be open to visitors on the Palace Theatre's ninth annual kitchen tour on Sunday, June 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.In addition to the tour, sponsored by Granite State Cabinetry, an open seating luncheon catered by O Steaks and Seafood will be available between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. at sponsor Baron's Major Brands in Manchester.
Following the tour, LaBelle Winery in Amherst will present an after-party from 4 to 6 p.m. featuring wine tastings presented with paired appetizers.
Tickets are $45 per person in advance or $50 if purchased on the day of tour. For tickets and more information call the Palace box office at 668-5588 or visit palacetheatre.org.
And while there's a full-sized stainless refrigerator on one side of the room, there's a small beverage cooler beneath the counter on the other side of the room so the kids can grab drinks and go.
There are two standout appliances in the Gould's kitchen that reflect the trends Rifkin and Shakra are seeing in kitchen design: an induction stovetop, and a drawer microwave built into the island.
And Shakra said the microwave, which slides out like a drawer, allows homeowners to make use of otherwise neglected spaces in a kitchen.

During the last few years, there have been rapid developments in the drug treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. This has led to research into the role of combination therapy. While past combinations of slow-acting antirheumatic drugs have resulted in either an excessive number of adverse events or a lack of increased efficacy over single agent therapy, newer combinations appear to be more promising. It has recently been demonstrated that the combination of cyclosporin and methotrexate is more effective than methotrexate alone, with no increase in adverse effects. Improved trial methodology and a better understanding of the mechanism of action of these newer agents are assisting in the development of new combinations.

Yesterday, if you hadn't noticed, was Burns Day, but Andy Murray was not the only Scot to celebrate by hitting top form in the sporting arena: at Potters Leisure Resort, four Scots came out on top in the quarter- finals of the Fred.Olsen Cruise Lines world indoor singles championship.
Auchinleck's Stewart Anderson, high-flying Prestwick duo David Gourlay and Paul Foster and Midlothian's Colin Walker will line up in today's semi finals, so the world final tomorrow is bound to be an all-Scottish affair.
Hopes that Mervyn King, who has been in good form, might repeat his triumph of 2006, were dashed when Foster beating the estate manager from Norfolk 11-3, 9-5 while, in an even more one-sided contest, Gourlay overwhelmed veteran Welshman John Price, 11-2, 12-4.
Disappointing? – Yes. But, what those games lacked in drama was more than made up for in the breathtaking levels of skill that the winners showed in dealing so emphatically with two fellow world champions.
Some of their shots were nothing less than miraculous.
First, Gourlay, who won the world title in 1996, but has recently been concentrating on his administrative role as Bowls Scotland's head coach, rolled back the years and produced a near-faultless display of drawing to the jack that made Price, who played a tidy game, look like a novice.
"I watched John practising, and he seemed to be in very good form," said Gourlay,
"So I psyched myself up for a very hard match, and was delighted to open up a 5-0 lead in the first three ends, but the four shots I scored on the fifth end really put me out of reach."
Another full house on the first end of the second set followed immediately by a double meant that Price, whose one success in this event was in 1990, was always playing catch-up, but he might as well have been chasing rainbows as Gourlay rolled on relentlessly, showing no mercy.
As so often happens when you are on the back foot, Price's good bowls were ineffective – if there was a gap to go through, his running bowls would find it, and every time the popular 52-year-old Welshman actually drew the shot, Gourlay ruthlessly beat it with the very next bowl.
Having witnessed such a brilliant display of bowls, spectators were treated to a similar masterclass, conducted this time by four-times champion Foster, who would not allow King a look at the jack.
"I was expecting a tough game, because I know Mervyn has been playing really well, but I was glad to bring my 'A' game to the table, and felt I played very consistently," said Foster.
" It was the understatement of the week from the man they are calling the Troon Terminator.
"It will take someone playing exceptional bowls to beat me this week – if I can keep it up," added Foster, who is still resolutely refusing to contemplate winning the title tomorrow.
If he does, of course, he will equal Alex Marshall record of five world indoor singles titles, and become the first player to do the Potters hat-trick by winning the pairs, mixed pairs and singles titles in the same year.
"If I should win it, it would be wonderful, because Sunday is the birthday of my son Logan," revealed Foster, "But no – I'm not even going to think about it!"
Yesterday morning, Stewart Anderson, now back in Scotland after a spell in South Wales, showed the sort of form that took him to the final in 2010, when, as a raw newcomer, he had to give best to world number one Greg Harlow.
This time, facing Harlow's City of Ely clubmate Nick Brett, Anderson took the first set by storm, 9-4, before his opponent had time to settle. But when Brett found his touch, he took control in the second set, opening up a 6-2 lead after six ends.
Anderson bounced back with a treble, but Brett weathered to storm and edged home in the set, 7-6, and, to the delight of the large crowd, the match moved into tiebreak territory.
Brett won the opening end but Anderson took the second and the third, decisive end, had to be played twice, after Anderson accurately fired the jack out of bounds to earn a replay – something that is only permissible on the third end of a tiebreak.
The replay was hardly the stuff that dreams are made of: Anderson played four decent bowls but left Brett with room enough to draw the winner, but the Cambridgeshire man was short with his final attempt to deliver the winner, so Anderson won, 9-4, 6-7, 2-1.
Last night, Exeter's Rob Paxton looked on course to spoil the Scottish party but was pipped by Colin Walker in the first set, when the Midlothian man broke a 6-6 deadlock with the last bowl of the set, and the Scot pressed on to a 7-6, 7-7 straight sets victory.
In today's semi finals, Anderson will play Gourlay and Foster faces Walker.
nNorfolk's new world champion Bex Field has been invited to Carrow Road for today's FA Cup match with Luton Town, and can expect to be introduced to the crowd at half-time.
Field beat Guernsey's Alison Merrien 11-7, 8-10, 2-1 to win the Women's Matchplay singles title on Thursday afternoon.

Accessible to allCitybus and NWFB strive to make bus services accessible to our passengers - including the disabled, the elderly and families with babies or young children. All the new buses will be equipped with fully accessible features that meet the requirements of the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee ("DPTAC") in the UK.
Performance pledgeCitybus and NWFB achieve defined targets for operational capability, mechanical reliability and fleet availability. We publish these targets and our achievements on the website regularly so that the public can closely monitor our performance.
Fare concessionsCitybus and NWFB offer Bus-Bus Interchange ("BBI") schemes in response to passengers' needs, and most of them provide free interchange. We have also implemented various fare concession schemes to Octopus-paying passengers, such as the "Holiday $2 Concession Scheme for Senior Citizens" and "Same Day Return Fare Discounts".
24-hour service teamCitybus and NWFB have a 24-hour emergency control centre, together with a team of experienced outbound inspectors patrolling around, to monitor our bus services and daily operations. The control centre shall report any emergency on roads to the management and department heads through electronic system and appropriate tools, so the management would be able to assess the impact and react instantly.
Stringent vehicle maintenanceIt is our prime objective to maintain our buses in the safest and most reliable condition. Apart from Certificate of Road Worthiness and Certificate of Fitness examinations required for the licensing of buses, Citybus and NWFB also strictly follow the Transport Department's requirement of inspecting every franchised bus at least once a month, ensuring the entire bus fleet in the safest and most reliable condition.
Bus safety measuresSafety is always our first priority. Citybus and NWFB take the lead to further enhance bus safety by implementing a HK$4 million plan to retrofit vehicle reversing camera systems ("CCTV") on the whole fleet of 1,600 buses. The new CCTV device will become a compulsory item when the Companies buy new buses in future, striving for zero reversing accident on road.
Citybus and NWFB consider that armrests, stanchions and handrails are more useful alternatives to seat belts for exposed or vulnerable seats, as they act as anchors for passengers to hold onto in case of emergency. We have already retrofitted such fixtures to exposed seats on all buses. Besides, we will install seat belts on the exposed seats on all new buses to be purchased.
All buses have had speed limiting function restricting the maximum speed on level ground to 70km/hr. All new buses to be purchased will have such speed limiting function, as well as with the black box fitted. The black box can help monitor the driving behaviour of the bus captains.
Driving performance of bus captains is monitored by laser guns by Area Traffic Inspectors, and ride-checks by driving instructors and plain-clothes officers.

Yesterday's Breitling Worldtime was so cool that we had to bring out another worldtimer today, one that would run a little less money. This 1970s Tissot has a few things really going for it.
It's got a nice cushion case shape, two off-center crowns, a world-time function, a uniquely shaped and colorful set of hands, and a two-tone dial. This is really a quintessential 70s timepiece, after all what other decade would produce a dial that was mustard yellow and taupe?
Kidding aside, this is a very cool watch that features an automatic movement and a truly unique look. It is part of Tissot's Visodate series, which was revived this year at Basel with their 1957 re-edition, and that only helps the case for this watch.
So how much would you expect to pay for 1970s automatic worldtimer in a cushion case? Well, because it's a Tissot, not that much at all. In fact you purchase this one for only $1350, which to us sounds like a pretty good deal on a cool watch. Click here for details.

Hall Monitor: Prodigies, perfection and the past
By Trevor Hayes
Pirate Prodigy: Not since 1928 has a Pirate had as many hits at his one-year anniversary as center fielder Andrew McCutchen. Currently riding a .302 average, the 23-year-old celebrated passed the one year mark since his major-league debut last week. He had 185 hits, the most by a Buc since Hall of Famer Lloyd Waner collected 225 in his first year.
Rare day for the all-time leader: Ivan Rodriguez has caught 2,322 games – the all-time leader among catchers after having passed greats like Johnny Bench, Gary Carter and Carlton Fisk. But only three times in his career has Pudge caught a pitcher who racked up 14 strikeouts like Stephen Strasburg did on Tuesday in Washington. Strasburg joins Jeremy Bonderman in 2004 and Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan in 1991 as the only pitchers to dominate their opponents that much with Rodriguez behind the plate. Pudge's Astros jersey from the game in which he broke the games caught record last season is on display in the Museum in the Today's Game exhibit.
Cubbies and 300: One-hundred and twenty-seven players have hit 300 home runs in the history of the majors. Wednesday, Derek Lee added his name to that list and this afternoon, Alfonso Soriano clubbed his 300th. Both join an impressive group of names to do so while playing on the North-side. Six other players have belted No. 300 with the Cubs including Hall of Famers Ernie Banks, Billy Williams and Andre Dawson. The most recent before Lee was Sammy Sosa who the 300th of 609 career home runs in June of 1999.
Boston's newest Fenway attraction: Two Hall of Famers and two other Red Sox legends were honored this week, as the team dedicated a new statue Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky and Ted Williams. The four were staples in the Sox lineups in the 1940s and into the 50s. All four were All-Stars and all four served in the military during World War II. The lifelong friends and Sox legends had their story told in David Halberstam's book The Teammates – Portrait of a Friendship. The new statue is a tribute to their legacy and features the four standing shoulder to shoulder holding bats. It is outside Fenway's Gate B at Van Ness and Ipswich.
Perfection and the Hall-aday: Roy Halladay threw the major's 20th perfect game on May 29, beating Marlins ace Josh Johnson 1-0 in the process. The two matched up again Thursday and Johnson got the win. 1965 marks the last time a perfect pitcher faced his opponent again in the same season, as Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax and Chicago's Bob Hendley squared off in back-to-back starts. Koufax mastered the Cubs on Sept. 9, and like Halladay in a 1-0 win, but like Johnson, Hendley got the win in the rematch.
Remembering the past: The Tigers will play host to a weekend long celebration of the Negro leagues, highlighted by their 16th annual Negro Leagues Tribute Game, Saturday. The Tigers will don Detroit Stars uniforms while the Pirates will pay homage to the Pittsburgh Crawfords. During the series, Hall of Famer Turkey Stearnes – a former Star – will be recognized with a video about his plaque, which was dedicated at Comerica Park in 2007. Stearnes' grandson will throw one of the ceremonial first pitches, while Stearnes daughters will perform the national anthem. Former Negro leaguers Frank Crosson, Joe Douse, Buck Duncan, Bee-Bop Gordon, Bill Hill, Gene Johnson, Cecil Kaiser, Alton King, Bullet Moore and Schoolboy Teasley will be on hand throughout the weekend.

Howard entering record territory
By Freddy Berowski
Ryan Howard is one of those players who always seems to save his best work for late in the season.
In 2007 and '08, the man Phillies manager Charlie Manuel calls his "Big Piece" was just that in the Phillies' late-season surges to overtake the Mets and win the National League East. In total, Howard posted 36 home runs and 101 RBIs in just over 400 at-bats during August and September in those two seasons. And this year, the 2006 NL Most Valuable Player has already posted numbers along the same lines, hitting 16 home runs while knocking in 52 in August and September, through Wednesday. The only difference this year is that the Phillies are in cruise-control right now, 6 1/2 games up on the Braves, with the Mets not even in the rear-view mirror, already having been eliminated from postseason contention.
One of the most dominant sluggers of this era, Howard didn't become a regular in the Phillies lineup until age 25, midway through the 2005 season, because he was blocked at first base by slugger Jim Thome. This season, however, Howard has matched many Hall of Famer milestones.
A month ago, he joined Hall of Famer Chuck Klein as the only Phillies to top the 30-home run and 100-RBI marks in four consecutive seasons. Two weeks ago, Howard became the fastest player to reach the 600-RBI plateau since Hall of Famer Ted Williams more than a half century ago. The 2009 campaign also marks Howard's fourth straight season with at least 40 home runs and 120 RBIs, something only Ken Griffey Jr., Sammy Sosa and Hall of Famer Babe Ruth have done before.

Ernie Banks hits 400th career home run
By Thomas Lawrence
Mr. Cub brightened an otherwise challenging season of "lovable losing" for Chicago Cubs fans 44 years ago today.
Taking on lefty Curt Simmons and the rival Cardinals on Sept. 2, 1965, Ernie Banks and the Cubs were simply trying to finish strong in a season in which they were 63-73 heading into play on that day.
After two scoreless frames at the plate for the Cubs, they manufactured a run and had future Hall of Famer Billy Williams and teammate Ron Santo on base for Banks.
An influential member of the post-Jackie Robinson era of African-American stars in Major League Baseball, and a former Negro leaguer himself with the Kansas City Monarchs, Banks stepped to the plate against Simmons looking to give the Cubbies a bigger lead, with the potential to set one of his many career milestones.
Banks promptly blasted the ball into the bleachers at Wrigley Field like he had so many times before. It was home run No. 400 for Banks, making him only the 11th player to join that club at the time – and only the second African American to do so, along with "The Say Hey Kid" Willie Mays.
Banks was also the first to join the home run club as a Cub, and is still one of only four former Cubs in the 500 home run club along with Sammy Sosa, Jimmie Foxx and Rafael Palmeiro.
"Without (Banks), the Cubs would finish in Albuquerque," said Jimmie *****, the manager of the White Sox from 1934-46.
Banks and the Cubs never reached the postseason during his 19 big league seasons. In 1965, the year of his historic 400th homer, the Cubs finished in eighth out of 10 in the NL with a .444 winning percentage.
But Banks certainly did his part to bring a pennant to Chicago. He is still No. 1 all-time in franchise history in games played (2,528), total bases (4,706) and extra base hits (1,009).
Banks was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977 in his first year eligible.
Thomas Lawrence was the 2009 publications intern at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Records falling before leaves
By Trevor Hayes
August is ending, the postseason is around the corner, records are starting to fall and today's stars are joining the legends of yesteryear.
Back in the News: Two weeks after becoming the sixth player to belt 400 homers with a .320 average, Vladimir Guerrero recorded his 1,000th hit for the Angels – the eighth player in franchise history to do so. With 1,215 hits as an Expo, he's the second player to collect 1,000 hits for a single team in both leagues. As a Padre and then a Yankee, Hall of Famer Dave Winfield was the first. Aside from Guerrero, Manny Ramirez is the only active player with 1,000 for two teams (Indians and Red Sox).
Also this week – at 34 years, 194 days old – Guerrero recorded his 1,300th RBI. Since divisional play began in 1969, only eight players have reached the mark at a younger age: Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Juan Gonzalez, Ramirez, Sammy Sosa and Jeff Bagwell along with Hall of Famers Jim Rice and Eddie Murray.
Sox-Yanks: Baseball's premiere rivalry provided an offensive showcase last weekend. Friday's 20-11 slugfest was significant. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the two clubs combined 31 runs, was the most in a single game in the over 100 year history of the rivalry. The previous mark was July 29, 1903, with the Highlanders beating the Americans 15-14 at Huntington Avenue Grounds – almost nine years before Fenway Park opened.
Hideki Matsui paced New York's 23-hit attack with a pair of three-run jacks and seven RBI. It was the most by a Yankee at Fenway since Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig in 1930.
Not to be outdone, the Sox fired back. Kevin Youkilis contributed two homers and six RBI in a 14-1 victory over the Yankees on Saturday. Over the last 70 years, only Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk has hit two home runs and driven in at least six against the Bronx Bombers. Pudge did it on April 6, 1973 in a 15-5 rout at Fenway.
A good start: The Royals Zack Greinke is a long way away from 3,000 strikeouts, but on Tuesday night he recorded a performance that four of the members of the 3,000 strikeout club never did. Greinke sat down 15 Indians to break a single-game club record en route to recording his 700th career strikeout. And while 705 career strikeouts isn't even a quarter of the way to 3,000, the 15 strikeouts for the 25-year-old Greinke represent a single-game feat Hall of Famers Don Sutton, Phil Niekro and Ferguson Jenkins and recent retiree Greg Maddux – all members of the 3,000 strikeout club – never accomplished.
Arms race: John Smoltz will make his second start as a Cardinal tonight. When he debuted last Sunday, he became the ninth former Cy Young Award winner to play under Tony La Russa. Between the White Sox, Athletics and Cardinals, La Russa has had two Cy Young winners make it to the Hall of Fame: Dennis Eckersley and Tom Seaver. Joe Torre is the only other manager with nine or more Cy Young winners on his staffs.

A perfect storm
By Trevor Hayes
The White Sox can slug. Last season they hit 235 home runs, tops in the Majors and 21 ahead of the world champion Phillies. This season, they've hit 10 — tied for ninth at the moment, with the Rangers leading the way with 17 homers in this young season.
But Chicago has a fearsome heart of the order with Carlos Quentin, Jim Thome, Jermaine Dye and then Paul Konerko. And their bats are coming alive. Quentin deposited a pair of balls over the outfield wall at Comerica Park on Monday, and it was the team's first four-homer game of 2009. They had 11 last year.
The story of Monday's Tigers-White Sox game was, of course, two men making history by hitting their 300th career home runs in back-to-back at-bats. Dye and Konerko became the first teammates to reach a century milestone of at least 300 in the same game, let alone doing so in back-to-back fashion.
It was the fifth time in Major League history that two men have reached a century milestone of at least 300 in the same day, and Thome has been involved in two of those events. The others are Mark McGwire (400) and Andres Galarraga (300) on May 8, 1998; Albert Belle (300) and Rafael Palmeiro (300) on July 17, 1998; Juan Gonzalez (400) and Thome (300) on June 5, 2002; and Thome (500) and Todd Helton on Sept. 16, 2007.
Thome, Dye and Koneko have been together since 2006 and are fairly well represented at the Hall of Fame. Dye's jersey from Game 4 of his Most Valuable Player performance during the 2005 World Series is here, as are the jersey Thome wore when he hit his 400th career home-run on June 29, 2004, and his 500th home-run ball. In fact, Thome came to Cooperstown last August and presented the ball to the Hall's chief curator, Ted Spencer.
Something to think about as the Sox home-run machine gets its engines turning is this: With Dye in right field, Konerko at first base and Thome as the designated hitter, the White Sox have 1,143 career home runs in their lineup between just three men. Of course dropping Dye or Konerko for Ken Griffey Jr. at the end of last 2008 considerably ups the total. Both Konerko and Dye ended 2008 with 298 and Thome ended with 541, while Griffey had 611 for an unreal total of 1,450 home runs. That kind of slugging is historic in nature.
An incomplete look at some of the great home-run hitting trios in baseball history turns up very few teams featuring a lineup with that much pop. I was only able to find one team that can overtake the current Sox. In 2006, the Yankees had Alex Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield and Jason Giambi. Those three Bronx Bombers finished the season with a combined 1,269 career homers (Rodriguez at 464, Sheffield at 455 and Giambi at 350). The next season, Sheffield was traded to Detroit, breaking up the unit.
Many teams have come close. Mr. Cub's Lovable Losers fall just short of their Windy City successors. In Hall of Famer Ernie Banks' final year, the North Siders had 1,131 career homers between their three top sluggers. Banks had 512, Hall of Famer Billy Williams had 319 and Ron Santo had 300.
Babe Ruth's final year with the Yankees, 1934, was another homer-happy squad, but even they can't match the Sox mashers despite having three prominent Hall of Famers. With Ruth at 708 and Lou Gehrig at 348, the two sluggers had 1,056. Like many teams however, they fell short of finding a third player. Bill Dickey's 62 give the 1934 Yankees a combined 1,118 career home runs.
The 1971 Giants, featuring two Hall of Famers with a 40-year-old Willie Mays at 646 and Willie McCovey at 370, also had a young Bobby Bonds with 100 career homer runs, combining for a total of 1,116.
Eddie Murray played in Baltimore for many years and came back at the tail end of 1996 with 474 homers at the end of the season and teamed with Cal Ripken Jr. (353) and Palmeiro (233) for 1,060 total home runs.
The '04 Cubs had Slammin' Sammy Sosa with 543, Moises Alou at 278 and Derrek Lee with 162 for a total of 983. That team also featured Aramis Ramirez with 127 at the time.
The hardest part of finding a team with over 1,000 career homers between three players is finding three prolific hitters at that point in their careers. 2009 inductee Jim Rice and Hall of Famers Carl Yastrzemski and Ted Williams all played in Boston and overlapped each other's tenures, but they never played together that late in their careers.
The Milwaukee Braves of the late '50s and '60s were known for their slugging threesome. In 1962, the Braves featured Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews at 399, Hall of Famer and eventual home-run king Hank Aaron at 298 and Joe Adcock with 270 for a 967 total. Four years later, Adcock was gone, but by then Mathews (493) and Aaron (442) had come a long way. Felipe Alou's 148 give the new threesome 935 homers in 1966.
Mickey Mantle ran into the same problem. He played with Joe DiMaggio as a youngster and Yogi Berra for a long period of time. By 1963, Mantle had 419 longballs, Berra had 358 and slugger Roger Maris contributed 214 for a total of 991.
It takes the perfect storm to put 1,143 career home runs into one lineup. Right now, the White Sox have it, and it's fun to watch.

This weekend's race at Silverstone will serve to concentrate the minds of British fans on the fortunes of the two drivers for who this is the home race - David Coulthard and Jenson Button. As one of the oldest drivers in the paddock, Coulthard knows that he is coming to the end of his distinguished Formula One career, while Jenson Button is still battling to make his mark at Honda and prove that he has what it takes to win a race.
But what about the next generation of British talent? Who can we expect to see making the transition to Formula One racing in the near future? Of the current crop of hopefuls, the name that seems to be springing to most lips as Britain's next big thing is that of Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton is no stranger to hype, but he's also proving to be a major talent, and someone who appears ideally set to make the final step up the motorsport ladder to Formula One racing. A brilliant performance in the recent GP2 race at Monaco will have done his chances of moving up to the big league no harm - he turned pole into a dominant victory in his ART, crossing the line no fewer than 8.4 seconds ahead of his nearest rival.
Not that stunning onlookers is a anything new for the 21-year old, it's something he's been doing since becoming the youngest ever winner of the British cadet class kart championship, aged just 10. His performance in karts was sufficiently assured to attract the interest of McLaren, who signed him up as a driver of the future as long ago as 1998, and have been supporting him ever since.
After graduating from karts, Hamilton made his mark in Formula Renault, finishing the 2002 British season in third place overall and taking three podium finishes from four starts in the EuroCup series the same year. The following season he came top in British Formula Renault - the feeder category that propelled Kimi Raikkonen into the big time. A move to the Formula 3 Euroseries followed, with Hamilton finishing 2005 as champion after pretty much whitewashing the opposition with nine victories from 12 races. He then graduated to GP2 for this season, where he currently lies second in the standings, just two points behind Nelson Piquet Jr.
Hamilton's performances have won him so much attention that people in the paddock are now wondering if he could step straight into a full Formula One drive with McLaren next year. As GP2 graduate Nico Rosberg has already proved, the gap between the two series is by no means insurmountable for a talented young driver. Giving such a chance to a relative unknown would be a huge risk for a team leader as cautious as Ron Dennis to take, but with Raikkonens future unclear and Juan Pablo Montoya's contract showing little sign of being renewed, Hamilton could be the ideal 2007 team mate for Fernando Alonso.
"We've mapped out his year, he's going to concentrate on GP2 and we're not going to get distracted from that," Dennis told news agency Reuters, after the Monaco Grand Prix. "As and when I feel it is appropriate, we'll give him the opportunity to test and really settle in to driving a Formula One car. Then, according to how that works out, we'll decide together the next best step."
But don't be surprised if, by next year's British Grand Prix, the crowds have a new local hero to cheer on.

Rutgers Names Hans Goff, Nicole Peter Among its '10 Graduates to Watch'
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, confered degrees to nearly 11,000 students during convocation ceremonies this month. Among those many students, Rutgers selected 10 as "Graduates to Watch." Two of those, Hans Goff and Nicole Peter, studied at the Bloustein School and a third, Josh Ontell, took part in a senior seminar at the Bloustein School.
Hans Goff, of Trenton, was awarded a Master of Public Affairs and Politics, during the Bloustein School's May 18 convocation ceremony. Hans gained extensive political experience working on campaigns and in policy shops in three states, and across several levels of government. While enrolled at the Bloustein School and as a Fellow at the Eagleton Institute of Politics, Goff took particular interest in affordable housing policy.
Goff landed his first political job after his sophomore year in high school, going to work for Trenton Mayor Douglas Palmer, answering constituents' calls on the concerned citizens' hotline. "My first day working for the mayor, I knew it was the field I wanted to be in," he said. "I saw how government can work." Hans then completed a series of summer and after-school apprenticeships as a paid intern for Congressman John Olver of Massachusetts, Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, New Jersey Govs. James McGreevey and Jon Corzine, the New Jersey Assembly Majority Office and the NJ Department of Community Affairs.
Nicole Peter, of Jefferson Township, majored in Public Health, an undergraduate degree awarded jointly by the Bloustein School and Rutgers College. A member of the Rutgers Catholic Student Association, Nicole spent two years studying spinal cord injuries and conducted research at the W.M. Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience which is known for its work with stem cells. "I really believe there will be a cure for spinal cord injuries, and I want to contribute," Peter said. "I have no moral qualms about it, even though I'm very Catholic."
Peter is trying to enlist scientists who are also practicing Catholics to speak about stem cell research at one of the Rutgers Catholic Student Association's "Spirit Night" gatherings next fall. She wants the scientists to explain their research and what it means to be a Catholic who supports stem cell research. Even though she has graduated, Peter plans to return for the event.
"We need to change this disconnect," she said. "Both sides really care about humanity, but are afraid the other side is limiting them. It's a matter of closing this polarity."
Josh Ontell, an Economics major from Clifton who graduated from Rutgers College, visited West Virginia and New Orleans while a student to help build housing. He took part this year in a Bloustein School seminar for undergraduate seniors on issues relating to the subprime mortgage and housing foreclosure crisis.

In Response To: correction, it's called NSC 24 How about an unbiased answer? If you sell Ambrotose, please do not respond (sean)
Hee, hee, something new to read about. :-)
Here in the SF Bay Area, there's a trend toward serving live (freshly killed) "spotted" shrimp. According to the following abstract, these spots reflect some kind of disease that could be treated with beta-1,3-glucans. Kind of takes the excitement out of it...
Dev Biol Stand 1997;90:413-421
Non-specific disease resistance induced by yeast cell wall extract, beta-1,3-1,6-glucan, was demonstrated in the tiger shrimp. In this study beta-1,3-1,6-glucan was administered to shrimps by immersion before culturing and orally during the culturing period. Challenge of the treated shrimps with the virulent pathogens, Vibrio vulnificus and viral agents extracted from the white spot syndrome victims, yielded promising results. The tolerance of glucan-treated shrimps was slightly enhanced to stresses including catching, transport and ammonia. The growth and survival rates of treated and untreated shrimps were not significantly different. Therefore, we suggest that beta-1,3-1,6-glucan can be used as an immuno-stimulant of cultured shrimps and may benefit shrimp farmers.
I think it's curious that the NSC site lists the following as a reference, when it finds that the substances does no better than placebo in topical tests...perhaps it's full disclosure?
Australas J Dermatol 1996 Aug;37(3):137-138
beta-1,3-D-glucans are yeast-derived carbohydrate polymers which have been shown to be potent immunoresponse modulators which promote the regression of certain tumours. To date there is no published data concerning the efficacy of topical beta-1,3-D-glucan in the treatment of solar keratoses. This randomized double-blind prospective pilot study of 20 patients was performed to investigate the efficacy and skin tolerance of beta-1,3-D-glucan gel versus placebo in the treatment of solar keratoses. The results of this study showed no significant benefit in using beta-1,3-D-glucan gel over placebo in reducing counts of solar keratoses. No adverse effects were reported by any patient at any stage of the trial.
Since there are so many studies on "glucans," including the by now famous beta glucans in oat bran, and respiratory irritation caused by airborne beta-1,3-glucans, I don't think I'm going to start popping any of these tablets without a lot better understanding of what they do.

Been angry most of the day, which isn't good for a blogger's health. I'll search for some zen serenity, but in mean-time, here are some end-of-the-day news leftovers:
* HuffPost's Waymon Hudson richly details Paul Ryan's record of opposition to LGBT rights.
* On flip side of coin, Erick Erickson trolls through Twitter feeds looking for evidence that "The Left" inspired or is cheering for FRC shooting.
* Meanwhile, LGBT groups issue joint statement condemning shooting and expressing sympathy for victim.
* At College Guide, Daniel Luzer notes parents are curbing student's freedom to decide schools and majors out of concern for better ROI for skyrocketing costs.
* Norquist blasts defense spending enthusiasts, including Romney and Ryan.
And in non-political news:
* Kris Humphries' attorneys try to serve Kim Kardashian subpoena disguised in Nordstrom's box. Smart lawyering.
See you tomorrow, when campaign hell will probably continue to break out.
don't look now, but TPM tracker has shown Obama losing 5 points this week and Swing States are now even or Romney. Ryan bounce, or is it the constant lying permitted by our Media? Or is it Scary Black Man syndrome? I say it is the terrible mistake Obama has made by abandoning the Bain/ Income Tax attacks against Romney that had him on the ropes last week.
Erick Erickson trolls through Twitter feeds looking for evidence that �The Left� inspired or is cheering for FRC shooting.
And, I would add, came up mostly empty. He found more examples of right wingers making assumptions about "The Left" than anything else.
Feeling better.
The experienced and wise Howard Dean had an excellent point on tonight's Ed Show that people do not believe repeated lies offered up by Republicans-0-and that daily Republican propaganda will not work.
In fact, people know that Republicans do not even like ordinary Americans, and their lies will not work.
At the end of the day, he says, average working people realize that Republicans are not on their side, recalling the years of George Bush, who cut taxes for the rich, and spent all the money-- and they know that.
just to remind everyone again that Obama is the smallest "government spender" since Eisenhower in 50s.
We can debate about the legitimate complains on Obama's expansion of the presidential power over congress and states all years long, but as far as dollar spending goes, Obama has been small, even more so than Clinton.Reagan and Bush were the biggest spenders in the recent history.
See the Forbes magazine op-ed:
I'm pretty sure after Ryan VP pick, Wall Street guys and even usually Republican business men would secretly vote for Obama even though they hate dodd-frank.
Romney is competent but he does not seem to have power over house republicans who voted against deficit ceiling last summer.I don't want my stocks to go down again like that.
Do Look Now and see that the Poll on TPM is Purple Strategies and it's.. "Purple Strategies is a Alex Castellanos poll and it is GOP."
Sometimes I find the most interesting info in the comments section.

Renewing C.D.L. And L.D.L. License
How C.D.L (Competent Drivers' License) and L.D.L. (Learner Drivers' License) Holders Can Renew Their Licenses and Road Tax
We normally assume that most drivers have the assistance of driving schools or institutes to depend on when coming to the question of renewing licenses and road tax. This assumption is wrong. From the question asked of this blog, there are many who are at a loss with regards to this annual problem.
As such, to write an article solely to assist this particular group of people has always been there.
Irregardless of whether you have any problem or otherwise, please continue reading as extra knowledge gained never a loss.
To renew the L.D.L. (Learner Drivers' License) for D cost RM30. You can also renew it for 6 months or RM60. B2 (Motorcycle) will cost you RM20 while RM40 you can renew it for 6 months.
Where can you renew the above license? Well, there are a few places you can get it renewed. You could go to a few locations namely:
ii) The Post Offices
iii) J.P.J. Office.
iv) Even at some Institutes.
If you use the services of an agent or "runner", you'll have pay a fee of anything from RM5 to RM10. If you go personally to the places mentioned, then you'll probably save a few Ringgit.
One important thing I'd like warn you of. Ensure the "L" (L.D.L.) payment slip has an "emblem" red "L" on it. Should no such "L" appear on your payment slip, then it appears that payment slips is intended for C.D.L. (Competent Drivers' License). Have it rectified before leaving whichever office or Post Office you have gone to.
How long does it take for an "L" or "C.D.L." license to be renewed. Normally if you hand it to the "runner" in the morning, it should be ready for collection in the evening.
What do you do in the meantime? Can I ride or drive without my license, some ask. It's best you have a photo copy of your original license.
If at all you are to meet a police officer, you could probably be able to show the photo copy to him. To accept or not the photo copy as proof that you have a license depends on the officer concerned.
Anyway to drive without a license contravenes Section 26(i) of the Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987.
To change address, bring along your MyKad or electric bill bearing your name and latest address. To change new photos, please bring along 2 copies coloured photos.
Renewal of C.D.L. can be made from 1 year up to maximum of 10 years. Renewing licenses for a longer period of time appears to be better. Not only is it easier for the owner, it eliminates the problem of having to renew it year after year. In the end, the cost factor decreases.
Converting "P" license into "passed" licenses have been dealt with numerous times in this blog.
How about people who lose their licenses? How do they go about getting a "duplicate copy"? Getting a duplicate "L" and "C.D.L." are the same. Do bring along:
i) MyKad.
ii) 1 copy colour photo.
iii) Copy of police report if you have it.
Item (iii) is not essential. Payment is RM30 for the duplicate license. You have to pay a fine of RM20. All the above can only be done at J.P.J. offices.
Some people would like to know how to renew their car or motorcycle road tax. For this you'll need:
i) Your registration card (Get it from your Bank, Finance Company etc.).
ii) Renew your Insurance Policy. (Insurance policy are normally 1st party of All Rider Policies),
Motorcycles normally have their road tax disc affix to their key chain holders. Road tax disc nowadays are more difficult to steal.
Having addressed most of the problems normally faced by "L" and "C.D.L." holders, it is hoped future blog readers will no longer raise questions on them.

If cannot, can anyone else in malaysia renew it for me? Does my IC needed for the renewal process? Thank you very much.
Hi Cikgu Yap,
I used to have a B2 license back when I was a student more than 15 years ago. As I got my D license, I have somehow forgotten to renew my B2 license (those days the license were a piece of 'longish' paper). Now, much to my regret, I would like to commute with a motorbike again. What do I do? do I need to sit for the test again?
can i really upgrade my P license to CDL at the post office?? jpj is very far from my place…

What can I do, and is it possible get them back without being in Malaysia?

Hi Cikgu Yap,
My driver's licence expired in April 2009 and I haven't renewed it since I have been abroad studying. I am going back home this November and was thinking if it's okay to just renew my licence at JPJ or post office or if I need to re-take the test again?
Thank you!

Hi, to renew my LDL in the post office, all I need to present is my MyKad and my old LDL, is that right? Do I need to present a copy of my photo? If I do not use a "runner", how long does it take for them to finish the license renewal?
Hi Cikgu Yap, just wanted to ask, I got my L license last year on 2nd May 2010 but I haven't renewed it at all since I got it because of my busy schedule with studies and all. Now that I've graduated college and on my break before entering university, I would like to start classes for my P license. Is it possible to just renew my L license and go on with the P license classes or do I need to attend the 5 hour talk all over again?
Cikgu Yap,
Can I convert my P license through the government portal, "MYEG" website?
May I know, if my "P" license were to expire at 21 – 12 – 2011, can I renew it at 21 – 12 – 2012? But I am not studying abroad.
I have the same question as well!
In my case is I lost my P Lisence, and I need to renew it, may I know how long the process will be? can I get my renewed CDL on the same day?
If I live in selangor, can I go to terengganu JPJ office to renew my lisence? will that affect my process?

Hi Cikgu Yap,
My issue is the same as some of the above. I have not renewed my P license ever since it expired more than 2 yrs ago. You mentioned contacting JPJ Putrajaya and may e exempted from the basic tests. Are there costs/penalty charges that I will be facing? Please advise.

We encourage you to create exciting and stimulating learning environments, and you explore how students develop their own forms of representation. You look at recent initiatives such as the National Curriculum for Art, gallery and museum education, the use of Information and Communication Technology, and critical and contextual studies.
School-based work During the Autumn term you are placed with a partner trainee in a secondary school art department to observe art lessons and participate alongside experienced teachers. You visit a primary school to develop an understanding of younger children´s art work and of how the art curriculum is taught. Spring and Summer terms are devoted to teaching practice in a second school: a sustained experience of teaching in which you develop competence in the Professional Standards. You plan, resource and teach an art and design project, and increase your knowledge of GCSE, A-level and Vocational A-level examinations in art and design.
College-based work There are practical art-based workshops, lectures on art and design in education, individual and group tutorials, and gallery and museum visits. Workshops include: painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, three-dimensional construction, ICT in art and design education, textiles, and a workshop involving museum and gallery education.
Lectures focus on current issues such as the National Curriculum for Art; multicultural or anti-racist approaches to art and design education; students´ emerging and developing representational strategies in drawing and painting; artists working with children; planning teaching projects for art and design; the GCSE, A-level and Vocational A-level examinations; assessment in art and design education; and the future for art and design education.
We regard your ongoing work as an artist, designer or craftsperson as an essential element of your development as an art educator. This has always been a central philosophical position of our PGCE Art and Design programme.
You should have a degree in a related subject, such as art, design, ceramics or textiles. You must be able to show evidence of drawing skills.
You should have an undergraduate or postgraduate degree (eg BA, BSc, MA, MSc etc) from a university in the United Kingdom. Your degree should be in your proposed main teaching subject area or in a closely-related subject which is a suitable preparation for entry to the programme. If your degree is in more than one subject, you should give a complete breakdown of the course units you studied within your degree when you submit your application to the GTTR: we will generally have to be satisfied that at least half of the content of your degree was in your proposed main teaching subject area.

If you do not have - or are not currently studying for - a GCSE in English or Mathematics, you may be eligible to sit the internal College tests; we advise you to apply early. We regret that these tests may not be used to overlook recent failure in GCSE examinations, and that you can only take the tests once.

Hugo Chavez holds an insurmountable lead in two late November polls - one by Ipsos Venezuela/the AP-Ipsos Poll and the other by Zogby International-University of Miami. Both were released on November 24 and are the most current and reliable data available and are consistent with most independent poll results for months. This is in stark contrast to several fraudulent US National Endowment of Democracy (NED)-financed oligarch-run ones published to create a false perception of public sentiment in preparation for cries of fraud once the election results are in.
This is now standard US operating practice in all developing countries when Washington fears an unacceptable electoral outcome, so it tries to subvert the democratic process by engineering one in its favor. That's how it's playing out in Venezuela now where things are in place to create the myth of what's impossible to achieve in fact to help Washington pull off its scheme to remove the main "threat" to its hegemony in the hemisphere. It's not likely to work any better now than in the failed 2002 coup attempt, but there will be mass-staged street protests that may get violent before it's over proving it.
Here's what's now going on. The Washington-based and
NED-funded Penn, Schoen & Berland polling organization
is part of the scheme to depose Chavez and has set up
camp in Venezuela working with the opposition to do
what they're expert at - putting out phony polling
data currently showing main opposition candidate
Manuel Rosales closing the gap and almost pulling even
with Hugo Chavez as the December 3 election date
approaches. Baloney, but that doesn't stop the
Venezuelan corporate media from reporting it saying
"The momentum is clearly with Rosales," and it looks
like he can win.
If past Penn, Schoen & Berland tactics are prologue,
expect their pre-election poll number-rigging to be
supplemented with equally fraudulent exit polls on
election day showing the same kind of cooked results.
More baloney, smell included. That will be following
by blasting them all over the Venezuelan corporate
media airwaves and front pages to convey the false
impression Rosales may have won to shape public
perception in preparation for whatever
Washington-concocted scheme is planned likely
beginning on December 4.
Rosales has no chance whatever of even coming close to
winning on December 3, and the Venezuelan people know
it. They'll never tolerate a result made in
Washington that's contrary to the way they'll vote
that's pretty obvious from some "real" polling data.
Here's what the oligarchs, corporate media and
Washington suppress - and for good reason because it's
so lopsided in favor of Hugo Chavez.
The latest Ipsos/AP poll shows Chavez getting
overwhelming support from 59% of likely voters with
Rosales trailing far behind at 27%. The margin of
error is from 2.2 - 2.9%. Zogby International
confirms this showing Chavez at 60% and Rosales at
31%. It's margin of error is 3.5%. Both polls thus
show Chavez with an insurmountable 2 - 1 lead with
eight days to go before the election. Moreover, these
polls are consistent with nearly all independently-run
pre-election surveys showing Washington-selected
Rosales has no chance to win (something he knows), and
Hugo Chavez will be reelected for another six year
term as president with an impressive margin of victory
- because the great majority of Venezuelans love him
and won't allow anyone else to serve as their
president as long as he wants the job.
Here's the rub. That's not what the Bush
administration wants, virtually guaranteeing
post-election cries of fraud followed by staged street
protests with likely violence and a fourth
Washington-directed attempt to oust Chavez to prevent
him from continuing as president. The people of
Venezuela won't tolerate this kind of interference,
and that sets the stage for a turbulent period just
ahead - the many millions of Venezuelans vs. George
Bush and his failed administration visibly consumed in
the burning sands of Iraq. If some variety of that
template is the way to defeat a hegemon, it bodes well
for democracy in Venezuela but not without a struggle
to achieve it. History shows even superpowers are no
match for mass people-action when it's determined
enough to prevail. We'll soon know if it proves so
Venezuelan-style again.

"Light and what not."
It is light and low on resources an does not have a huge file size.
There are reasons why I don't pick this antivirus for people is because of multiple issues like that of ccleaner when I go to to clean my netbook with ccleaner after a day of work I go to clean it everything is alright but when I wake up in the morning I see that Microsoft security essentials wants me to scan my computer even though I already scanned it. I know that I can just uncheck the box that has security essentials checked but I should not have to deal with security essentials interfering with me cleaning my computer. I personally like to clean my computer after a days work and to clean it from any microsoft security essentials things that got left over. Oh I also forgot to mention I got like 2 viruses from it for some odd reason :(.
I would recommend something like Avira or Avast to users who are having trouble with viruses and malware. This antivirus is complete crap back to Avira for me more faster better protection and does not interfere with me cleaning my netbook and telling me to scan every min nor day.

You can now see a little more of North Korea on Google Maps, thanks to crowdsourced data
Posted By Enrique Manalang On January 30, 2013 @ 12:27 AM In World Wide Web | No Comments
If you ever tried taking a peek at North Korea through Google Maps before, you'd have to be content with the image above. Sparse, with no details about roads or any sort of locations within North Korea for that matter — just the landmass. Thanks to the data that Google has received from its Map Maker users, you can now get a little more detail of the secretive state. Here's what you'll see now:
North Korean users won't be able to access any of that data, but Google says that it could be very useful for South Koreans with family or connections to the region, as well as other observers in the world. The Next Web notes that Google Maps was also used last week by a group of bloggers to uncover prison camps in the country, where thousands of enslaved workers are held.
Maybe we can get Street View next? Okay, probably not.
