Hull KR kids did me proud despite derby loss to Hull FC, says coach Craig Sandercock
Posted: January 27, 2014
|By Charlie Mullan
HULL KR coach Craig Sandercock was delighted with the way his youngsters stood up to a strong Hull FC side despite losing the derby 20-12.
For many of them, this was the biggest game they have played – in front of 9,983 supporters at the KC Stadium – and they proved they could handle the occasion.
Sandercock was more than happy with what he saw in Rovers' first hit-out of pre-season, especially from the six players with no Super League experience.
"All the kids stood out," Sandercock said. "In the second half, I thought they tried their best and they can be proud of their efforts.
"We got from it exactly what we wanted to get from it.
"It was a friendly and we used 29 players and they all performed well.
"It was a good hit-out for us. We enjoyed it and the effort was good."
With a trip to Huddersfield next up in their second and final friendly at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday, Sandercock is prepared to give some of the kids another chance.
He said: "There are a lot of lessons to learn and there were some errors they need to work hard on, but overall I'm very, very happy.
"This was a stepping stone, with some players getting 20 minutes, and now we'll step things up next week at Huddersfield.
"But all our programming and preparations are geared towards February 16."
Rovers came through the game without any serious injuries, although Graeme Horne, who started at right centre, picked up a minor knock. He left the KC with ice around his knee, but purely as a precautionary measure.
"Graeme should be okay," Sandercock said.
"Our initial assessment is that we don't have any major injuries. We'll cross our fingers and hope that's the case. If that is the case I'll be even happier."

Goth, Harajuku, Hello Kitty, and Versailles are the elements inspiring Kerli's 'Tea Party' outfit for the video shoot.
Kerli has started shooting a music video for her new single "Tea Party". Through three pictures taken by MTV during the preparation of the filming, it is seen that the video will match the fantastical theme of movie "Alice in Wonderland" in which the track serves as one of its anthems.
The Island Def Jam's artist is captured dressing in white gown inspired by the intersection of Goth, Harajuku, Hello Kitty, and Versailles. She is getting her make-up done with the help from her stylist, Mika Fowler of Gavert Atelier.
"Tea Party" is not the only song Kerli records for "Alice in Wonderland". She has also crafted one more track, this time collaborating with German band Tokio Hotel. Their duet is called "Strange". The album where the two songs are listed will be released in the U.S. market on March 2, while the Johnny Depp's movie itself will arrive in theaters three days later.

Players have become accustomed to load screens, but now they must also wait for an advertisement to play before beginning a new race. As demonstrated by a user-captured video, the standard load time for WipEout HD is about eight seconds long. If an advertisement plays, the load time increases more than twofold: to nineteen seconds.
Most in-game advertisements appear as unobtrusive and non-interactive billboards. However, slowing down a game's performance to present ads in a program gamers have already paid for is far too intrusive. Jonathan Epstein, CEO of Double Fusion, stated that "Double Fusion is responding to advertiser demand and offering an engaging ad format while pushing in-game ad innovation to a new level." It's unfortunate that we have to wait while that new level loads.
[Thanks, Chris!]

Harry H. Corbett, OBE[1] (28 February 1925 – 21 March 1982) was an English actor.
Corbett was best known for his starring role in the popular and long-running BBC Television sitcom Steptoe and Son in the 1960s and 1970s. Corbett was regarded as one of Britain's first Method actors and early in his career he was dubbed "the English Marlon Brando" by some sections of the British press.
Corbett was born in Rangoon, Burma, where his father, George, was serving as a company quartermaster sergeant in the South Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army, stationed at a cantonment as part of the Colonial defence forces. Corbett was sent to Britain after his mother Mary died of dysentery when he was 18 months old. He was then brought up by his aunt, Annie Williams, in Earl Street, Ardwick, Manchester and later on a new council estate in Wythenshawe. He attended Ross Place and Benchill Primary Schools; although he passed the scholarship exam for entry to Chorlton Grammar School, he was not able to take up his place there and instead attended Sharston Secondary School.[2]
Corbett enlisted in the Royal Marines during the Second World War, and served in the Home Fleet on the heavy cruiser HMS Devonshire. After VJ-Day in 1945 he was posted to the Far East, where he was involved in quelling unrest in New Guinea and reportedly killed two Japanese soldiers there whilst engaged in hand to hand fighting. He was then posted to Tonga, but deserted and remained in Australia before handing himself in to the Military Police. His military service left him with a damaged bladder following an infection and a red mark on his eye caused by a thorn which was not treated until late in his life.[2]
On returning to civilian life, Corbett trained as a radiographer before taking up acting as a career, initially in repertory. In the early 1950s, he added the initial "H" to avoid confusion with the television entertainer Harry Corbett, known for his act with the glove-puppet Sooty. He joked that "H" stood for "hennyfink" – a Cockney pronunciation of "anything". In 1956 he appeared on stage in The Family Reunion at the Phoenix Theatre in London.
From 1958 he began to appear regularly in films, coming to public attention as a serious, intense performer in contrast to his later reputation in sitcom. He appeared in television dramas such as The Adventures of Robin Hood (as four different characters in different episodes between 1957 and 1960) and Police Surgeon (1960). He also worked and studied Stanislavski's system at Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop at the Theatre Royal in Stratford, London.
Scriptwriters Galton and Simpson, who had been successful with Hancock's Half Hour, changed Corbett's life. In 1962, at their request Corbett appeared in "The Offer", an episode of the BBC's anthology series of one-off comedy plays, Comedy Playhouse, written by Galton and Simpson. He played Harold Steptoe, a rag-and-bone man living with his irascible widower father Albert (Wilfrid Brambell), in a junkyard with only their horse for company. Corbett was at the time working at the Bristol Old Vic where he appeared as Macbeth.
The programme was a success and a full series followed, continuing, with breaks, until 1974, when the Christmas special became the final episode. Although the popularity of Steptoe and Son made Corbett a star, it ended his serious acting as he became irreversibly associated with Steptoe in the public eye. Before the series began Corbett had played Shakespeare's Richard II to great acclaim; however, when he played Hamlet in 1970 he felt both critics and audiences alike were not taking him seriously, because they could only see him as Harold Steptoe. Corbett found himself only receiving offers for bawdy comedies or loose parodies of his alter-ego Harold.[3] Production of the sitcom was in the last few years stressful as Brambell was an alcoholic often ill-prepared for rehearsals, forgetting his lines and movements.[4] A tour of a Steptoe and Son stage show in Australia in 1977 proved a disaster due to Brambell's drinking.[4] During the tour the pair appeared in character in an advert for Ajax soap powder.
The TV episodes were remade for radio, often with the original cast − it is these that were made available on tape and CD. After the Steptoe and Son series officially finished, Corbett played the character again on radio (in a newly written sketch in 1978) as well as in a television commercial for Kenco coffee. The two men reunited in January 1981 for one final performance as Steptoe and Son in a further commercial for Kenco.[5]
The Curse of Steptoe, a BBC TV play about Corbett and Brambell, was broadcast on 19 March 2008 on the British digital channel BBC Four, featuring Jason Isaacs as Corbett. The first broadcast gained the channel its highest audience figures to that date, based on overnight returns.[6]
Steptoe and Son led Corbett to comedy films: as James Ryder in Ladies Who Do (1963); with Ronnie Barker in The Bargee (1964), written by Galton and Simpson; Carry On Screaming! (1966); the "Lust" segment of The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins (1971), and Terry Gilliam's Jabberwocky (1977). There were two Steptoe and Son films: Steptoe and Son (1972) and Steptoe and Son Ride Again (1973). He also had the leading role in two other television series, Mr. Aitch (written especially for him, 1967) and Grundy (1980).
He had a supporting role in the David Essex film Silver Dream Racer in 1980 and also appeared in the controversial film Hardcore in 1977.
Corbett also released a number of 45 rpm records, most of which were novelty songs based upon the rag-and-bone character, including "Harry You Love Her" and "Junk Shop". He recorded a number of sea shanties and folk songs. In 1973 he also recorded an album titled Only Authorised Employees To Break Bottles which was a "showcase of accents", with songs from Corbett in a range of accents including Liverpudlian, Brummie and Mancunian. Including the album, he released over 30 songs.
Corbett was a Labour Party campaigner,[7] appeared in a party political broadcast,[8] and was a guest of Prime Minister Harold Wilson.[4] Harold Steptoe had been Labour Party secretary for Shepherd's Bush West in the sixth series episode, "Tea for Two". In 1969 Corbett appeared as Harold Steptoe in a Labour Party Political Broadcast, where Bob Mellish had to defend Harold Steptoe's accusation that all parties are the same. This was not in any way affiliated with Galton and Simpson who wrote Steptoe.
As Prime Minister, Wilson wished to have Corbett appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), but the middle initial "H" was lost in the process and the award went to the Sooty puppeteer, Harry Corbett, instead.[9][10] Both were eventually included in the same New Year's Honours list on 1 January 1976.[11]
A heavy smoker all his adult life,[12] Corbett had his first heart attack in 1979. He appeared in pantomime at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley, within two days of leaving hospital. He was then badly hurt in a car accident. He appeared shortly afterwards in the BBC detective series Shoestring, his facial injuries obvious. Other work included a Thames Television/ITV comedy series Grundy and the film Silver Dream Racer with David Essex, both in 1980. In Grundy Corbett plays an old man discovering the permissive society after a lifetime of clean living.[13] The series was a flop and was soon cancelled. Corbett's final role was an episode of the Anglia Television/ITV series Tales of the Unexpected, "The Moles". It featured a man who planned to tunnel into a bank, only to find the bank was closed due to industrial action and there was no money in the vaults. Filmed shortly before his death, it was transmitted two months afterwards, in May 1982.
Corbett married twice, first to the actress Sheila Steafel, and then to Maureen Blott, who bore him two children, one of whom, Susannah Corbett, is an actress best known for the role of Ellie Pascoe in the BBC's television adaptations of Reginald Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe detective novels. She has also written a biography of her father, Harry H. Corbett: The Front Legs of the Cow which was published in March 2012.
Harry H. Corbett died of a heart attack in March 1982 in Hastings, East Sussex. He was 57. He is buried in the churchyard at Penhurst, East Sussex. He is commemorated in the name of the Corbett Theatre at the East 15 Acting School at Loughton, which was founded by Margaret Bury and Jean Newlove, two members of Theatre Workshop, where Corbett worked.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
"Therefore the Jews... made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another." Esther 9:19
Purim is a day of family celebration. The children dress up in costumes, exchange gift parcels (mishloach manot) and really make a lot of noise. Street parades are held and one tradition is to host the poor and needy. It is a time of family celebration and everyone takes part and gets into the spirit of the festival.
Once again this year, Israel Today will be distributing gift parcels to needy and disadvantaged children.
But we cannot do it without your help. We invite you to be a part of Purim this year and help us cheer up some children!
More and more immigrant children, from almost every country in the world, are growing up in Israel today. The majority are Jewish, or have Jewish ancestry that is either paternal or maternal. A smaller percentage are the sons and daughters of Christian workers, in Israel to fulfill the biblical directive to comfort and bless the Jews. Some children accompany parents who are foreign workers in the Holy Land, particularly from Russia. Other children are the offspring of legal refugees.
The common factor is that all of these children need to learn Hebrew, which is the language of education and later on, of business and social life. Almost every school offers an Ulpan program, with the focus on intensive learning of the Hebrew language. General school education goes ahead at speed for native Hebrew speakers but every Hebrew-speaking child knows that at some point in modern Israel's history, their parents / grandparents, too, were foreign-speaking olim (immigrants) who attended Ulpan. And despite differences in Middle-Eastern and Western social behavior, which can lead to daily surface conflict, underlying this is the ancestral knowledge that all who love and support Israel are one big 'family', and the support comes through, one to another, at the times when it counts most – for example, under the ever-looming threat of war.
A common language leads to a common culture, and all of Israel's children also know that mastering Hebrew is the key to acceptance and success in Israeli society. Ethiopian-Israeli children especially strive to master Hebrew. They are often seen as the odd-ones-out among their peers, as they differ in appearance and ethnic culture, and have a foot in each camp when it comes to Christianity and Judaism, as the outcome of their difficult political past. A persecuted past causes Ethiopian-Israelis to arrive in the Holy Land almost penniless. No wonder it is toughest for Ethiopian-Israeli children to integrate and thrive in their adopted homeland.
Israel Today is committed to support all children in Israel in need. For just $15 you can help an Israeli child have a better life. Click here Please give generously. Hashem reserves very special blessings for those who bless children!

Perfect Jessica from Pearson, GA– Verified Buyer This table is exactly what I have been looking for. My daughter is a taller 5 year old and the normal wooden table sets are just too short for her. I was just go ogling one day and happened upon this and thought I would just order it and see and I am so glad I did. The legs are adjustable so she can use for a while. |
Great product that matches the description! Lily from Irvine, CA– Verified Buyer Very nice table. Smooth table top, easy to clean. Very Sturdy. Just make sure you have a power drill to put the legs together. |

Helpful and caring staff. Really lovely people that really made their best to make our stay an unforgettable moment. Lots of personal attentions while staying there.

Breakfast without meat - as it says on the information in the kitchen, due to italian law they cannot serve it in that B&B.
helpful friendly staff location is jackpot
It was perfect. Friendly owner and very clean rooms!
The location was great, the bed large and comfortable, the staff friendly and a great source of local knowledge.
Understanding that an Italian B & B has restrictions on what they can and cannot serve for breakfast the food could have been more generous in portion. Also the kitchen was locked overnight when it would have been good to be able to use the fridge/ make a coffee etc.
Perfect location, very clean, good customer service.
The breakfast could be more diversified.
location is great
no clear sign in street i can't reach it without map,
Everything, but see comment on breakfast. Central, lovely building, proper double glazing, heating, helpful people.
The breakfasts, really just poor coffee for Italy.
wifi, location, quietness, confort
facilities, check-in, lack of infrastructure and staff
The hosts were charming and very helpful, from arranging airport pickup to restaurants. The windows had excellent shutters so no early light crept in.
The noise of water pumping, but that we have experienced elsewhere in Rome. Breakfast coffee was weak.
The hotel was very modern and cute. Our room was huge with a huge bathroom. You can't beat the location.

St Patrick's College is a state-integrated Catholic boys' day and boarding Secondary School located in Silverstream, Upper Hutt, New Zealand. It was established by the Society of Mary (Marists) in 1931 when the original St Patrick's College, Wellington (established 1885) was intended to be moved to a larger site more suited to a boarding school. In fact both Colleges survived and today share not only a common history, motto and spirit but also a good natured rivalry and competition in many endeavours. Silverstreamers refer to the mother school simply as 'Town'.
The Silverstream College, quite often referred to simply by the suburb title or 'stream', is situated in 7 hectares of grounds between the Hutt River and the Silverstream Railway Station close to the suburbs of Silverstream and Heretaunga. As an integrated school, St Patrick's College is funded by the Society of Mary, Catholic Schools Board Limited and the New Zealand Government. [3]
In the 1980s, St Patrick's record was marred by a member of staff being involved in incidents of sexual abuse involving students. Reports of this sexual abuse were allegedly suppressed by the school Marist priests.[4]
At its foundation much of the original College was transferred from the Wellington site including many of the Marist teachers, much of the memorabilia and the College colours. The brother Colleges today share an Old Boys' Association in recognition of their common heritage.
School sports teams have enjoyed success in Rugby union, cricket and athletics. Football, hockey and basketball are popular winter sports at the college.
Over the years of the College it has evolved from being primarily a boarding school into a largely day school with a small boarding facility. This demographic shift has resulted from several pressures including the huge increase in number of residents in the local area. In more recent years it has been necessary to cap the roll and introduce an enrolment scheme to ensure an equitable educational outcome for all local pupils.
The College celebrated its 75th Jubilee in 2006.
St Patrick's College as a Catholic School bases its educational philosophy on Christian teachings and on the Marist tradition under which the school was founded.
In 2012 the St Patrick's College, Silverstream Foundation was established with an inaugural dinner. The Foundation will build a stronger college community where there are many opportunities for Old Boys, staff, parents and friends to become involved in college life.
The Marist Tradition[edit]
The Marist heritage incorporates three characteristic features in education. It stresses the uniqueness and value of the individual person, the importance of the Christian community and the involvement of parents and family in the education of students. This concept stems from the Christian principle that each child is unique, invaluable and created by God. All students have positive and special value and the school endeavours to meet their individual needs and develop their special talents. Teachers aim at formation of the total person so that each becomes free and responsible, an integrated human being. By experiencing the respect and genuine concern of the school community students learn to love and respect others.
The school in 2008 officially changed their house group system. There are now four houses in the school instead of the original 6. they consist of Patrick house, Chanel house, Marist house and the Trinity house. Each of these houses represent one corner of the school's crest.
Notable alumni (old Patricians or Silverstreamers)[edit]
The college encourages former students to join the St. Patrick's College Old Boys Association (SPCOBA). The Association is based in Wellington and caters for Old Boys of both the Silverstream and Town colleges. Notable Old Silverstreamers include (with years attending the college in parentheses where available[5]):

Regulatory update: DOT's latest projections for mandating electronic logging devices, speed limiters
The DOT could require the use of electronic logging devices by Fall 2017. A proposed speed limiter rule is expected in the coming months. Here's a look at the rest of FMCSA's regulatory timeline.
Coercion rule comments: Hours still the problem, 'coercion' needs definition
Common themes of regulatory criticism popped up often in the public comments offered on DOT's proposed driver coercion prohibition rule, like the new pressures and restrictions caused by the agency's 2013 hours-of-service rule and holding ...
FMCSA: Study shows lower crash rates with e-logs, but 'skewed' to bigger carriers
Electronic logs have a beneficial impact on truck safety, according to a study posted Monday by FMCSA. The agency does, however, say the study is "skewed" toward large, for-hire carriers.
60-day comment period for e-log mandate too short, CVSA says, requests 30-day extension
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance has asked FMCSA to give stakeholders an extra 30 days to submit comments on the agency's proposed electronic logging device mandate, citing the complexity and significance of the rule as ...

Article: Calcium Requirements of Bovanes Hens
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Calcium requirements of laying hens have been widely studied yet keep challenging nutritionists as a result of new genetic make-ups of commercial strains, farm management techniques, environmental concerns, and economics considerations. The present research was conducted to determine the calcium requirement of "Bovines" hens that represent about 17% of US layer industry. Increasing dietary level of calcium from 2.5 to 5.0% in hens` diets in increments of 0.5% had a significant positive linear effect on egg production and egg specific gravity. Increasing dietary calcium level from 2.5 to 5.0% increased egg production from 75.3 to 82.4% and egg specific gravity from 1.078 to 1.083 units. Calcium level had no effect on feed consumption or egg weight. "Bovines" hens required 5.57 g calcium/h/d for a maximum egg specific gravity index of 1.083 units (high shell quality). The decision to feed this level of calcium to achieve maximum shell quality however depends upon the nature and cost-benefits analysis of the layer operation.International Journal of Poultry Science 06/2003; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential for dietary 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) to influence eggshell quality and overall laying performance in hens. Forty-eight, 60-wk-old White Leghorn hens laying thin-shelled eggs were fed a corn and soybean meal-based diet supplemented with 0.00 (control), 0.05, 0.10, or 0.15% putrescine for 4 wk. Twelve hens that laid thick-shelled eggs were also fed the control diet. The feeding of supplemental putrescine decreased feed consumption; however, egg weight decreased only at higher levels of supplementation. Increasing dietary levels of putrescine responded quadratically in eggshell deformation, eggshell weight, and eggshell weight as a percentage of egg weight (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in shell deformation, shell thickness, or shell weight when comparing hens laying thick-shelled eggs and those laying thin-shelled eggs that were fed 0.05% supplemental putrescine. Calcium intake, calcium retention, and calcium balance decreased linearly (P < 0.05) with increasing levels of dietary putrescine. Pancreatic putrescine concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in hens laying thick-shelled eggs compared with hens laying thin-shelled eggs. It appeared that pancreatic cells synthesized more polyamines in hens laying thick-shelled eggs. This increase in polyamines might have caused improved eggshell quality by increasing calcium transport. It was concluded that 0.05% supplemental putrescine improved eggshell quality; however, higher levels proved to be toxic.Poultry Science 12/2001; 80(12):1702-9. · 1.54 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effects of increasing dietary magnesium level from .17 to .77% and calcium level from 3 to 4.2% for laying hens over a 7-week period was investigated. Increasing either dietary magnesium or calcium level had no significant effect (P greater than .05) on feed consumption, egg production, egg weight, or egg shell deformation. Increasing dietary magnesium level had no significant effect on calcium retention, although there was a significant (P less than .01) reduction in the percentage of magnesium retained. Egg shell calcium content was significantly (P less than .01) reduced and shell magnesium significantly (P less than .05) increased in response to increase in dietary magnesium content. Increasing dietary magnesium level also significantly (P less than .01) reduced bone calcium and zinc contents while concomitantly increasing bone magnesium levels. Bone ash and calcium were significantly (P less than .05) increased and bone magnesium reduced when the calcium content of the diet was increased. Plasma calcium was significantly (P less than .01) increased in dietary calcium level and significantly decreased with increased dietary magnesium. The converse was true for plasma magnesium in response to increases in dietary calcium and magnesium. Significant positive correlations were observed between mineral contents of diet and bone, bone and plasma, and plasma and shell. A negative correlation was observed between shell magnesium level and egg shell quality as assessed by deformation. An antagonistic relationship seems to exist between calcium and magnesium, and this is discussed in relation to skeletal integrity and egg shell quality.Poultry Science 08/1983; 62(7):1261-8. · 1.54 Impact Factor

Al Jazeera Goes to Jail
Disturbingly, these two cases fit into a larger pattern of US government hostility toward Al Jazeera, provoked by the network's tough reporting on the Iraqi occupation. And this hostility is best viewed in the context of the escalating, multimillion-dollar regional media war between Al Jazeera and the US government.
Donald Rumsfeld has called Al Jazeera's coverage "outrageous" and "inexcusably biased" and implied that he'd like to see the satellite channel thrown out of Iraq. So far the American military has bombed the network's offices in both Baghdad and Kabul, killing one employee; arrested and briefly jailed twenty-one of Al Jazeera's reporters; and now has imprisoned and allegedly abused and humiliated Hassan and Darwish in ways that the UN convention on such matters would consider torture.
At the same time that the US military is harassing Al Jazeera reporters, other parts of the US government, including the State Department, are attempting to answer Al Jazeera in its own language and format. On February 14 the United States launched a nominally independent, US-funded Arabic-language satellite channel called Al Hurra, which means "the free one." The purpose of this effort is to address the lack of popular support for the US occupation in Iraq, as well as the deepening crisis of American legitimacy throughout the Arab world; polls from the region indicate that more and more people hate the United States every day.
Unlike other US-funded forays into Arabic-language media, Al Hurra, with an annual budget of $62 million, could be quite sophisticated and possibly effective in reshaping the beliefs of the politically important and demographically dominant Arab youth scene. The new channel has a stable of proven Arab journalists--one senior producer is a Palestinian who was poached from Al Jazeera, while the channel's top managers are Lebanese Christians with proven journalistic track records. On the other hand, the channel is based in Virginia, includes Colin Powell on its board of directors and its first broadcast was a pre-recorded interview with George W. Bush--none of which bode well for winning Arab hearts and minds.
Regardless of how well Al Hurra fares, Al Jazeera faces increasing obstacles to its reporting in Iraq as its correspondents are harassed, arrested, abused and killed by US troops.
So far, Al Jazeera's management has kept rather quiet about the cases of Hassan and Darwish. When I interviewed Ceddah Abdelhak, the channel's general manager in Baghdad, he insisted that the channel had publicized the cases, and he was clearly upset about the bad treatment of his staff. But other journalists in Baghdad say that Al Jazeera is under so much pressure from the Americans that its owners in Qatar are afraid the channel could be expelled from Iraq if they push too hard on any issue that upsets the CPA.
This is not an unfounded fear. According to sources that insisted on anonymity, the coalition called the network's managers in Iraq to the Republican Palace in Baghdad for a meeting in late January, at which the CPA's head counsel threatened Al Jazeera with expulsion if the network did not stop "destabilizing the occupation" with its tough reporting and intense editorial criticism. Allegedly, the CPA attorney explained that the coalition needed no legal justification to expel Al Jazeera and implied that US authorities were even pressuring the Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, to rein in Al Jazeera, which, though run independently, is owned by the government of Qatar.

Last May President Barack Obama announced that US forces in Afghanistan would finally be ending their combat mission and in 2015 would move to an advisory role. According to The New York Times that pledge has now been reversed with an order to continue combat missions against the Taliban and anyone else who threatens US forces in the country or the Afghan government. Rather than pull back from Afghanistan as President Obama promised, the US is doubling down.

FDL Book Salon Welcomes Matt Farwell, discussion about Michael Hastings and The Last Magazine |
By: Matt Farwell Saturday November 15, 2014 1:59 pm |
EDITORS NOTE: This Book Salon will be rescheduled. Apologies for the interruption.
Michael Hastings' The Last Magazine, is a scathing satire and indictment of the way the New York / DC big media world works. When I first read it, in an all-nighter months after his death, it was an amazing surprise: he was gone but his voice was still out there, and for a good 80,000 words completely new and fresh. Anyone halfway familiar with the New York / DC news and media apparatus will recognize the characters behind the characters. Hopefully the way they're portrayed is as disturbing to you as it was to me—as essentially out-of-touch, solipsistic, preening weenies, who for some reason we keep listening to on TV & Radio and reading in print.
US To Stay In Afghanistan Indefinitely |
By: DSWright Wednesday October 1, 2014 10:30 am |
So about that leaving Afghanistan by 2015 plan? Not so much. The US has now secured a new status of forces agreement that will keep the war going in Afghanistan indefinitely. Of course, given the US is back in Iraq after losing a status of forces agreement maybe these agreements are mostly symbolic anyway. If so, the symbolism could not clearer – the US has taken up permanent residence in Afghanistan.

US Spent $7 Billion Trying to Destroy Opium Production in Afghanistan, Opium Production Soared |
By: DSWright Friday July 4, 2014 1:45 pm |
While publicly lamenting wasteful spending, Washington gets high blowing cash on the drug war. In the case of Afghanistan and the fight against heroin, the US government spent $7 billion to eradicate poppy cultivation with no discernible effect. In fact, according to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime Opium Survey, opium production is hitting records in Afghanistan with "estimates that 209,000 hectares are under opium-poppy cultivation, an all-time high and a 36% increase from 2012."

The Washington Post's Series on Veterans Reinforces War Culture, Makes Iraqi & Afghan Suffering Invisible |
By: Kevin Gosztola Tuesday April 1, 2014 10:30 am |
Rajiv Chandrasekaran describes the poll as an "unprecedented glimpse into the lives and attitudes of modern warriors." In fact, this poll and the story are only concerned about the lives and attitudes of American "warriors." The Iraqi and Afghan people are given very minimal attention, and, when they are, it is to scorn them for not being more grateful that the United States chose to occupy their country and try and make their country "safer" or "better."
"This is typical of American war culture, which only gives importance to the American lives that are lost in war and to the suffering that American soldiers bring home with them as a result of war," explained Ross Caputi, a Marine who served in the Second Battle of Fallujah.
Karzai Conflict Might Lead to Full US Pullout From Afghanistan |
By: DSWright Tuesday February 25, 2014 1:15 pm |
Of all the people who would demand a full US withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai would seemingly be one of the last. Karzai's installation as president after his career at Unocal and subsequent protection was due to US military force. Without the US military Karzai would likely not have remained president, possibly even alive. And yet, his intransigence may lead to total pullout of forces at the end of this year.

A Letter From Death Row is a 1998 psychological thriller film directed by Marvin Baker and Bret Michaels, lead singer of the hard rock band Poison. Bret Michaels also wrote the film and starred in it.[1] The film was released by Sheen Michaels Entertainment, a company created by Bret Michaels and actor Charlie Sheen.[2] The film was produced by Shane Stanley and also stars Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, and Kristi Gibson, who was Michaels' girlfriend at the time.
The prison scenes were filmed on location in the Tennessee State Prison, with real inmates used as extras.
Plot summary[edit]
A psychological thriller that takes you through the mind of convicted killer, Michael Raine, and his experiences on death row. Was he guilty of killing his girlfriend or was he a victim of a conspiracy to frame him for a crime he didn't commit? As the story unfolds Jessica Foster, an assistant to the Governor of Tennessee begins to interview Raine while on death row, claiming that she's writing a book about the inmates. Through various circumstances, Raine puts two and two together and builds a case that he believes can prove his innocence...or does he? Ms. Foster is the only one on the 'outside" who can give Raine a voice, but is she working for those who framed him? As time draws near to the date of his execution, in his most desperate hour Raine finds the missing pieces to the puzzle to prove his innocence, but is it too late...? Was this story told from Raine's point of view or from the book writers or from yours, the viewer - you decide.
Bret Michaels also recorded and released the soundtrack to the movie in the same year. Max T. Barnes worked as an engineer on the project.
A documentary was released in 2000 titled "High Tension, Low Budget (The Making of a Letter from Death Row)" and is included as a special extra bonus on DVD versions released outside the U.S. The extra includes the making of the movie, featuring in depth interviews with cast and crew and various other clips of Bret Michaels in the 1990s leading up to the movie's release.[3]
There was a sequel released in 2002 titled "Dark Asylum" in the US and "Return to Death Row" outside the US and starred Judd Nelson, Larry Drake, Paulina Porizkova and Jürgen Prochnow. Bret Michaels was not associated with the sequel despite appearing on the cover of the international version.

Choosing the right type of menu for a website is not easy at all. The ASP.NET Menu Control is definitely NOT a good starting point due to the horrendous markup it renders, nor is it good for SEO because of the Markup/Content ratio, neither can it be easily styled.
Of course there is the CSSFriendly Control Adapters project that started back in 2006, which made the the ASP.NET Menu (and many other ghastly markup rendering controls) render beautiful <div> based markup. In the case of the Menu it rendered <div> and <ul>-<li> type markup which is probably the most widely spread technique used for creating menus known to mankind.
To every upside there is a downside. Although there are some examples online for both integration and styling I really find the CssFriendly Menu Adapter a bit difficult to style. The online example shows the styling technique on 3 different levels which then results in a huge CSS file. To give it some credit, the supplied CSS example is extremely well commented, so one with little CSS experience will do just fine.
But in Mythbusters tradition: "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing", the idea is to use a modified version of the CssFriendly Menu adapter with the jQuery Superfish plugin.
I've renamed all the css class names in the CssFriendly project (the ones like: "AspNet-Menu-Vertical", "AspNet-Menu-Leaf", "AspNet-Menu-WithChildren") to their Superfish equivalent ("sf-menu", "sf-with-ul", etc.). Now you can use the jQuery Superfish Menu Plugin out of the box with it's standard css class names.
You need use the same sort of markup for your server side ASP.NET Menu control like you've used with the standard CssFriendly Menu Adapter, and make the JavaScript call needed to set the Superfish plugin up.
<asp:Menu ID="mnu" runat="server" CssSelectorClass="myMenu"> <Items> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item1"> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item1"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item3"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item4"></asp:MenuItem> </asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item2"> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item1"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item3"> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item3 Item1 and some very very very long text"> </asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item3 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item3 Item3"></asp:MenuItem> </asp:MenuItem> </asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item3"> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub3 Item1"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub3 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub3 Item3"></asp:MenuItem> </asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item4"></asp:MenuItem> </Items> </asp:Menu>
The necessary JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript"> // initialize plugins $(function() { $("ul.sf-menu").supersubs({ minWidth: 13, maxWidth: 40, extraWidth: 5 }).superfish(); }); </script>
And the outcome looks like …
I like it allot how you can take advantage of jQuery and make this menu animate when submenu items open, I also like how easy it is to create and maintain the css for the menu. Then there is the fact that you can couple Superfish with other plugins like bgIframe, hoverIntent, and also Supersubs, which enables you to resize the width of submenu items independently according to the longest item within that group. Most of all, I like how my menu looks the same in all browsers including that … IE6 – no comment here.
The downside is that there is no graceful degradation. But this is always a problem with ASP.NET Webforms with that __doPostback function() and as I'm building the whole functionality upon jQuery the full featured JavaScript library the website has no sense without JavaScript.
I would like to point out that I have not created the CssFriendly Menu Control Adapter, I have only renamed the css class names, so no copyright infringement intended.

thanks for the cool project! Can we extended a bit more? Is it possible to create the whole control content from c# i mean dynamic content creation. get results from a db table structure the code as this <asp:Menu ID="mnu" runat="server" CssSelectorClass="myMenu"> 02. <Items> 03. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item1"> 04. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item1"></asp:MenuItem> 05. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> 06. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item3"></asp:MenuItem> 07. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub1 Item4"></asp:MenuItem> 08. </asp:MenuItem> 09. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item2"> 10. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item1"></asp:MenuItem> 11. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> 12. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item3"> 13. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" 14. Text="Sub2 Item3 Item1 and some 15. very very very long text"> 16. </asp:MenuItem> 17. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item3 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> 18. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub2 Item3 Item3"></asp:MenuItem> 19. </asp:MenuItem> 20. </asp:MenuItem> 21. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item3"> 22. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub3 Item1"></asp:MenuItem> 23. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub3 Item2"></asp:MenuItem> 24. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Sub3 Item3"></asp:MenuItem> 25. </asp:MenuItem> 26. <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="#" Text="Item4"></asp:MenuItem> 27. </Items> 28.</asp:Menu> and then let the jquery do its job is it possible?
Alexandros Ilatzis |
Hi Of course this would work with dynamic Menu contents. The whole idea is this: let the menu generate whatever content it wants, the adapter takes over which then renders the nice css friendly markup using div, ul, li-s, and then on the client side javascript takes over and makes a nice menu out of the markup. No matter what items, sub menu items there are, you can add them during runtime, this will definitely work! Ain't that nice? .

How to implement this on same asp:menu but with vertical orientation?
Shahid |
The jQuery Superfish plugin also supports vertical menus. So you'd only need to adjust the orientation of the ASP.NET menu.

This is an interesting approach, although it seems like a bit of "performance overhead" on the client. Since CssFriendly does it's job anyway, it's not worth overloading the client with such a task on every postback. I normally don't like to modify open source code, because it changes allot so it's a pain to maintain after a new shiny version comes out. But this part of CssFriendly (Menu) is available since it came out, and it suffered no modifications since. That's also why I created a separate assembly that only contains the MenuAdapter. Anyway, your approach is very ingenious, congratulations for that .

The problem of cars and IT
By Andreas Schwegmann
Why do cars consume so much fuel? Why does IT consume so much power and money? The answer is simple. Both are oversized to protect what they have been built for.
Cars are built for humans who cannot even withstand a crash at low speeds without proper protection by the car. In case of a crash the weight of the passengers and the car could easily be 10 times or even 50 times more than normally. To withstand the unbelievable forces of negative acceleration, modern cars weigh 2 to 5 times more than absolutely necessary -- which results in big engines, expensive cars, and high fuel consumption. To build a perfectly safe car you would probably even need a 10 to 100 times weight factor.
IT infrastructures have been built to store and manipulate data which could easily disappear for many reasons. Compared to the total data volume stored, the changed or moved data volume is minimal.
But what happens if disaster strikes? In that case you need to move the full amount of data back from a hopefully existing backup in the shortest possible time. Maybe you can afford long-distance replication - and you are done. But most organizations can't. To make matters even worse, government regulations or internal retention policies dictate that IT must be able to retrieve data from 10+ years ago, just in case.
The most common solution for IT is to copy data to another disk or tape, or both. To guarantee data retrieval over a long period of time it is sufficient to copy all changes to a remote place and to keep it there. For a fast full recovery of an entire server or storage array the current backup data must be accessible directly. A chain of data changes of the last decade is the slowest possible way to recover a full server.
As a result, many administrators do it the other way around. They create periodic full backups of all data and for long term retention they simply keep those backups. The costs of full backups, however, are immense. You need the IT infrastructure to copy all your data consistently in a short backup time window. This copy process typically requires 10 to 100 times more IO than normal operation. It breaks all efforts you took to virtualize your servers for more efficient resource usage, without even talking about the amount of wasted storage containing 50 copies of the same file.
HP might not know the answer for the car problem yet, but HP does know how to solve the backup problem.
The unique HP Data Protector Virtual Full backup solves the problem for all Windows and UNIX file servers. HP Data Protector copies all changes in the file system incrementally to a separate disk. This is an inexpensive way to backup the data and to keep it for an infinite amount of time. For a fast full recovery, a 'Virtual Full Backup' can be consolidated from the existing incremental backups without the need to store duplicate files. The virtual full does not need to copy any data from the source. With Virtual Full you get a full backup for the price of an incremental backup, but with the recovery speed of a full backup. In case you want a full backup on tape HP Data Protector just copies the Virtual Full to tape.
There is more than file servers? You are right! To be continued …
Last but not least -- I'm always interested in solving backup and recovery problems. If you have ideas about how to address a particular challenge or if you have have run into backup issues yourself, please drop me an e-mail at email@example.com.
