Stadium clears government hurdle
Plans for a new £60m stadium for Bristol City Football Club will not be called in by the government.The club is planning to build a new 30,000-seat stadium on greenbelt land at Ashton Vale. The plans were backed by Bristol City Council in November 2009 who said they were "minded to approve" the scheme. The Government Office for the South West could have called the plans in, which would have led to a public inquiry.

Kass: Stunted Growth
This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 8:11 a.m. EDT on June 25.
NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- Worldwide growth forecasts are being revised lower.
Indeed, our markets/economy and politicians seem to be operating on different timelines. I had been hopeful that our leaders and policymakers would finally recognize the reduced effectiveness of more cowbell (easing of monetary policy) and that they would at least have started a dialogue on the implementation of pro-growth fiscal policy aimed toward whittling down the fiscal cliff and/or postponing its impact -- all sooner than later in order to prevent a possible adverse and negative feedback loop.
Over there, the worsening sovereign debt crisis, and structurally flawed eurozone continues to weigh on the global economic recovery. Eurozone leaders and central bankers, seeking to seal one sovereign fissure at a time, remain behind the curve but, hopefully, are preparing to catch up and abandon Germany's gradualism as attention is focused on the June 28/June 29 Brussels Summit and the ECB's July 5 meetings.
Consensus Profit Forecasts Are in Jeopardy
With political cohesion absent domestically, U.S. business and consumer confidence has been victimized. In turn, profit disappointments are multiplying and will accelerate further unless our leaders abandon their divisive, divided and dysfunctional behavior. Witness the already weaker-than-expected industrial earnings at United Technologies (UTX), Nucor (NUE), Pall (PLL), FedEx (FDX), Jabil Circuit (JBL), Adobe Systems (ADBE), Autodesk (ADSK), Texas Instruments (TXN) and Cardinal Health (CAH) and the poor results at consumer-based Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), Procter & Gamble (PG - Get Report) and Darden Restaurants (DRI - Get Report). Meanwhile, as mentioned previously, the domestic economic downturn is broadening geographically and the notion of a self-sustaining developed world economic recovery is starting to fade:- The U.S. economy still seems capable of muddling through 2012-2013, and real GDP growth seems likely to grow annually at 2.0%.
- Real GDP growth forecasts for the Chinese economy are estimated at approximately 7% annually over the next two years, but projections have started to waver.
- Estimates for the eurozone's growth are still -0.5% in 2012 and zero growth to +0.5% next year, but these forecasts are obviously in jeopardy.
- In total, developing economies are expected to grow by slightly more than 1% in 2012, with some modest acceleration toward 1.5% in 2013, less than half the growth experienced in the last cyclical recovery.
- In the aggregate, the world's emerging markets are projected to grow by about 4.5% in 2012 and accelerate to 5.0% growth in 2013.

A customer of ours asks if it is possible.
I only see 2 ways:
1) Build an activeX to download and install 2) Force user to do it manually
Any help?
Best regards.
I agree with you.
I have however to deal with users "one button" laziness. Aren't there any solutions?
I really don't think that there's a one button solution to this!
Reference on Microsoft Developers forum [microsoft.com]
But this is new for IE7. I'm guessing that you will have cross-browser issues unless you are working in a highly controlled intranet or extranet environment.
Even if there was a solution you could implement into a website (if that was the customers original intention) it would be impractical unless the user stayed on that website. As soon as the user navigated away, they would loose their one-button functionality anyway?!
The browser history can also be disabled if that is any help?

Before that, he looked very AJ.
The way I'm thinking about this year is system offense. If you have AJ it is gravy and all is well in the world. They just need to learn up the youngins fast.
Schaub doesn't do the indoor turf practices. Walter gathered the young receivers after practice and took them outside to be with Schaub after the closed part of the practice.
I think a system offense can work in certain situations where you have sub-par receivers but it doesn't happen often. The Patriots were able to win for years without a truly great wideout. Troy Brown and Branch were probably their best receivers during their championship era, but they also have a top 5 all time QB.

Tottenham 3 Swansea 1: Emmanuel Adebayor keeps Spurs bid for third alive
Two Emmanuel Adebayor headers earned Tottenham three points against a spirited Swansea. Rafael Van der Vaart opened the scoring for Spurs, beating Michel Vorm after Gareth Bale's cross had been blocked by Ashley Williams. Gylfi Sigurdsson smashed the equaliser in after almost an hour, his long range shot bouncing into theground and past Brad Friedel. But Adebayor had other ideas, first heading in Van der Vaart's corner and then nodding home Aaron Lennon's cross. More to follow.

Garden Route hotels
The number of hotels along the Garden Route has exploded in recent years, as more and more Europeans have caught on to this scenic stretch, a mix of California's Route 1 and Sonoma County. While the lion's share of lodgings lie in and around the towns of Plettenberg Bay (nicknamed "Plett") and Knysna—including grande dames like Pezula and the Plettenberg)—there are excellent choices along the entire length of the Garden Route, from oceanfront castles to treetop villas, eco-lodges to funky boutique hotels. It's best to select two or three hotels, driving from one to the next to sample the different scenery, wildlife, and eateries along the way.
Hotels along the Garden Route make the most of their surroundings—perching on cliffs, beside lakes, and along rivers and estuaries—making this an ideal trip for nature lovers and sporty types. Most hotels have guides or will help coordinate tours, and on-site activities can include kayaking, horseback riding, hiking, and bird-watching. Hotels in the area also tend toward the romantic: Fireplaces are de rigueur, and private retreats like Plettenberg Park and Phantom Forest are tucked away amid lush greenery. Hotel restaurants are some of the best eateries along the route, focusing on hearty fare made with local ingredients, washed down with South Africa's famous chenin blancs and cabernets.

I'm using a 5500wt extra low density element and the very end of the element, which is bent back over itself, is too long and still inside the fitting being used. The problem is that the element is touching the side of the SS fitting, which will most likely cause too much heat transfer into the metal. Can I use copper wire to tie or clamp the loose end of the element to itself, allowing space between the fitting and element; preventing direct contact? Would this pose any safety or functional issues as the element will be in contact with itself? Thank you, Ron
What fitting are you using? Where are you installing the element (kettle, cooler)? I would not do as you suggested. There is another solution.
Why worry about the heat transfer to the coupler? If it indeed transfers heat to the metal then the liquid touching that metal should heat as well. Maybe I am not following what you are explaining.
"What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve." My build thread. Compact Single Tier!
The element is attached to the metal bulkhead you thread into the coupler. No over heating issue there right? same goes with the pot or anything else for that matter. As long as the element is submerged than you are all good.
Thanks...the kettle goes to the welder in the morning. I'll let you all know how it works out. Ron

Today, PAN and our partners at Earthjustice and Farmworker Justice filed a legal petition demanding that EPA act quickly to better protect farmworkers from hazardous pesticides. These much needed changes would be the first improvements in farmworker protection rules since 1995. The move is long overdue.
Despite the cooler weather, things are simmering in California's strawberry country this week. Santa Cruz County passed a unanimous resolution against methyl iodide on Tuesday, and other local governments are also stepping up in the effort to ban the cancer-causing pesticide.
But pesticide manufacturers and fumigant applicators aren't taking the news sitting down; they're doing everything in their power to hold back the tide of safe strawberry farming.
Back in 2008, EPA declared that certain pesticide products designed to kill rats pose an "unreasonable risk" to children, pets and wildlife. Agency officials recommended these products be pulled from the market immediately. So they should have disappeared from store shelves long ago, right?
Wrong. Sadly, the national law governing pesticides (including rat poisons) is so old, weak and cumbersome that EPA chose to politely ask companies manufacturing these products to recall them, rather than set in motion an official ban. Some companies complied, but others did not. And today, children across the country are still at risk.
On Wednesday, PAN joined the ever-growing Occupy movement in Oakland and the supermajority of Americans frustrated with corporate control of finances, homes and yes — food.
PAN and partners — including Californians for Pesticide Reform and Food & Water Watch — carved out a space among the thousands of concerned people gathered in Downtown Oakland to discuss the challenges posed by our corporate-controlled food and farming system.
As of this week, it looks like our rivers, streams and lakes — and the critters who live in them — will be a little more protected from pesticides.
Unless, that is, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) and others representing agribusiness interests manage to undo EPA's court-ordered efforts to better protect the nation's waterways from pesticide pollution. Roberts and company are pursuing every legislative hat trick in the book. But so far, cleaner water and healthier fish are coming out ahead.

Camden Man Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison on Cocaine Charge
TRENTON – Attorney General Paula T. Dow and Criminal Justice Director Stephen J. Taylor announced that a Camden man was sentenced to prison today for possessing a kilogram of cocaine that he intended to sell.
According to Director Taylor, Marvin Mosley, 35, of Camden was sentenced to 11 years in state prison, including five years of parole ineligibility, by Superior Court Judge Irvin J. Snyder in Camden County. Mosley pleaded guilty on June 1 to first-degree possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
That charge was contained in a Feb. 8 Camden County grand jury indictment obtained as the result of a joint investigation by the Division of Criminal Justice, Camden Police Department, Camden County Prosecutor's Office, Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office and New Jersey State Police.
On July 6, 2009, the investigating agencies, assisted by the New Jersey State Police Technical Emergency and Mission Specialists (TEAMS) Unit, executed a search warrant at Mosley's home in the 600 block of Randolph Street in Camden. Detectives allegedly found a kilo of powder cocaine wrapped in a large plastic bag and approximately 4.5 ounces of crack cocaine in a knotted sandwich bag. Both bags were in a toilet in an upstairs bathroom.
Deputy Attorney General Jill S. Mayer prosecuted the case for the Division of Criminal Justice Gangs & Organized Crime Bureau and represented the state at the sentencing.
The investigation was led by Detective Peppi Pichette and Detective Andrea Salvantini of the Division of Criminal Justice Gangs & Organized Crime Bureau and Detective Mike Ruiz of the Camden Police Department.

Australia's foreign minister updates PM Lee on reverse Colombo Plan
Published on Mar 24, 2014 10:44 PM
THE HAGUE - Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called on Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on the fringes of the third Nuclear Security Summit here on Monday and updated him on the new Colombo Plan scholarship.
Ms Bishop, who last met Mr Lee in October, shared with him the progress of the new scholarship to be given to thousands of young Australians to study in Asian universities and go on internships with companies in the region.
It is dubbed the "reverse Colombo Plan" in reference to the original Colombo Plan that gave more than 40,000 Asians, including Singaporeans, an Australian university education from the mid-1950s to the 1980s.
Singapore will host the first batch of Australian students next year.

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
mid-14c., "sea nymph who by her singing lures sailors to their destruction," from Old French sereine (12c., Modern French sirène) and directly from Latin Siren (Late Latin Sirena), from Greek Seiren ["Odyssey," xii.39 ff.], one of the Seirenes, mythical sisters who enticed sailors to their deaths with their songs, also in Greek "a deceitful woman," perhaps literally "binder, entangler," from seira "cord, rope." Meaning "device that makes a warning sound" (on an ambulance, etc.) first recorded 1879, in reference to steamboats, perhaps from similar use of the French word. Figurative sense of "one who sings sweetly and charms" is recorded from 1580s. The classical descriptions of them were mangled in medieval translations and glosses, resulting in odd notions of what they looked like.
In classical mythology, evil creatures who lived on a rocky island, singing in beautiful voices in an effort to lure sailors to shipwreck and death. Odysseus ordered his crew to plug their ears to escape the Sirens' fatal song.

Roma won't rule out skipper Francesco Totti for next month's Italian Super Cup.
"In all honesty it is too early to say whether Totti will be 100 per cent for the Super Cup but we are working towards that," physiotherapist Vito Scala said.
"It would mean sending Francesco out on the pitch after four months and 10 days, which would be 20 days ahead of schedule.
"The results of recent tests have been comforting. Totti is back running and will start working with the ball again.
"However, we won't be risking anything by rushing him back into action before he is ready."

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Ĺhands-onĺ religious education gets a look in Texas
KINGWOOD, Texas (The Texas Catholic Herald) - Centered on the specific goal of bringing children closer to God, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is being introduced to religious educators in the Archdiocese of Galvestion-Houston through formation courses being held at St. Martha Church.
ôSince it is such a different approach to the childĺs spirituality, we also continue to seek that kind of communion with our inner self,ö Spade said in explaining the retreat format for the adult participants. ôWhen we are young children, it is very natural for us (to be open-minded). But the older we get, the more we get into our routines and habits. If we werenĺt given this opportunity, then a lot of times we would be lost.ö
Based on Montessori principles of education, ôthe catechesis introduces the child to the Bible and liturgy through hands-on materials that allow the child to name and develop their personal relationship with God and the Church,ö according to workshop literature. ôThe catechist and the child are co-learners seeking together the mystery of God and Godĺs kingdom.ö
The formation is co-sponsored by the archdiocesan CCE Officeĺs Childhood Ministries and St. Martha Church.
Twenty-five catechists representing eight archdiocesan parishes have been enrolled in the formation courses at St. Martha.
Helping kids Ĺfall in love with Godĺ
Formal religious education normally starts at the age of six or seven, when a child is becoming very interested in morality and ôwanting to know the rules about everything,ö Spade said. ôWe want to open their childhood back up to (the adult catechists) ů to fall in love with God, perhaps for the first time in their lives ľ or more fully than they ever have, so they can appreciate what this work is doing for young children.ö
Helping young people ôfall in love with Godö is at the core of what Dr. Sofia Cavalletti explored when she originally developed Catechesis of the Good Shepherd with Montessorian trainer Gianna Gobbi, cited Spade. Msgr. Chester Borski, the pastor at St. Martha, invited Cavalletti to speak at St. Maryĺs Seminary many years ago when he served as rector and has been a big supporter of the catechesis since.
ôWe often think that is an endearing quality for young children, but it is also an extremely powerful thing. And for many of us as adults, we have never had an opportunity to fall in love with our God,ö Spade said. ôWe were introduced to God at a time in our lives when we were more interested in rules and right and wrong. So we have a judging God as our face of God. But we need that opportunity to fall in love (with God).ö
She continued, ôIt is very important to the spirit of this catechesis, to our foundress Sofia Cavalletti, to foster dialogue. At its essence, all Christianity is about falling in love and being in relationship with God through Jesus. She really feels that the catechesis is an opportunity for other Christian faiths to kind of come home and experience the roots of the original form of Christianity.ö
A vital component of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is the educational setting, called the atrium, which allows the children to interact with multiple types of materials and objects with liturgical and Biblical associations. These items can include cloths, chalices, miniature Biblical figures, candles, and altar dressings. Learning through physical interaction with materials and the environment is a staple of Montessori education.
ôMontessori uniquely recognizes that we best learn, express and develop our individuality in that whole dynamic of the inner voice,ö Spade said. ôIn the atrium, the child sews with a palette of colors tied into a liturgical season, arranges flowers in a vase or polishes brass candle holders. Whatever that child is inclined to do or is drawn to, this is the childĺs personality expressing itself. And that is where (the catechesis) begins.ö
Connecting ritual to faith
The ôhands-onö nature of the instruction is imperative to the learning process and an aspect deeply ingrained in the Catholic faith, Spade cited. ôIt is through our senses, through movement ů it is all things that go into creating the environment of our liturgy and also an environment for prayer through our gestures and our rituals,ö she said. ôWhen I approach the font, dip my hand in the water and make the Sign of the Cross, I am remembering my Baptism. That is the fullest, richest way to engage in that ritual. As Catholics, that is the way we recognize that faith has grown. It is in that very personal encounter with the outer environment and being consciously aware of it.
ôWe are training children to do that when come into an atrium. You must begin with a child during this phase of life when life habits are being formed, so they become aware of what they are interested in or drawn to,ö she added.
Spade said those same principles are applicable to the individuals participating in the formation courses at St. Martha. ôWhen I work with adults, I tell them to think about their favorite hobbies and how it feels for them to be that engaged with something that interests them,ö she stated. ôThat is what we are trying to help the young child do ľ to make that connection early on so that is part of their personality and they really seek that out. Then they are much more intentional about their faith. It is the ultimate Montessori goal: the true end being the childĺs religious development.ö
Martha Burns, the formation co-sponsor at St. Martha, said Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is ôthoroughly saturated in authentic Scripture, going far beyond a mere exposure to key stories, sayings and parables ů It encourages even the youngest children ľ as well as the catechist ľ to reflect deeply about the meaning of these passages. God is the author of our textbook.ö
Burns appreciates how the catechesis teaches children about the ôliturgical actions and equipment of the Churchö through hands-on contact with them. ôEven the littlest children are led to understand the meaning of liturgical colors and the difference between an altar and an ambo,ö she said. ôIn addition, they become familiar with the prayers and sacred gestures associated with liturgy, enabling them to enter into the mysteries more fully and planting priceless seeds for vocations.
ôThe Catechesis combines both knowledge of the Ĺbasicsĺ of Catholicism and a deep prayerful spirituality. The atrium is a place of silence, meditation and intense concentration nurturing Ĺheart knowledgeĺ as well as Ĺhead knowledgeĺö
According to Burns, the catechesis also effectively nurtures the existing bonds between Jesus and the child through song, prayer, Scripture and the atrium. ôWe all search for a closer relationship with God. The deep faith and spirituality that saturates this program is a powerful reminder that the Holy Spirit is still working and is intimately involved with our holy Catholic Church,ö she said. ôThe catechesis is based on the conviction that God and the child are in relationship. The child has a deep need to experience and a special capacity to enjoy the presence of God.ö
Peggy Rittenhouse of St. Martha Church initially became interested in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd because of her fondness for young children. ôIt appeared to me that this was a very special way to work with children and introduce them, in some small way and yet in an effective way, to Jesus,ö she said. ôAt St. Marthaĺs, I have also been introduced to the literature surrounding Catechesis of the Good Shepherd as well as national organizations.ö
She found one instruction from formation leaders to be particularly special to her: ôBoth children and adults are in a Ĺlistening modeĺ before the mystery of the liturgical celebration,ö Rittenhouse noted.
Stimulating the Ĺwonder and aweö in children
Barbara Molaison, a technology teacher at St. Martha School, said she is impressed with how much is conveyed to young people through few simple words. ôThe emphasis on stimulating the Ĺwonder and aweĺ of the mysteries of our faith really do tap the children,ö she said of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. ôThe children are free to form their own response without adults getting in the way. The relationship they form is uniquely theirs.ö
The teacher views such active participation lending itself to the ôdevelopmental characteristicsö of the children served. ôIt fosters in them the freedom to discover God in the manner and to the degree that they are ready to encounter Him. I think what is most powerful is that the children are simply allowed to fall in love with Jesus ľ the Good Shepherd,ö she said. ôWhen that relationship is formed I think everything else flows naturally and will be built on a solid foundation. The Montessori method or approach in this formation is key to the children forming their unique response. This atmosphere allows them to be in control of their own personal response.ö
The formation course has helped Malaison acquire a much broader sense of the spirituality of the child and learn that the same ôinnate spiritualityö still exists in adults. ôThe rites and rituals of our faith still have the power to touch our hearts and shape theirs. As I sit in training, I have truly become aware that this same child who enters the atrium is no different than the child who enters my computer lab at St. Martha Catholic School,ö she said. ôEverything I am learning in the Good Shepherd Formation serves me quite well as a teacher. It has made me more aware of the need to be a better facilitator. If I had to come up with one specific and dynamic facet of this formation, I think it would center on the importance of preparing the environment for the child and minimizing yourself so that you do not hinder the process.ö
Malaison considers the positive and lasting qualities of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd to be infinite. ôIt is a wonderful program and provides the means of forming faith in the young child at a critical juncture in their development. It is a method that is in sync with who they are, where they are and who our loving God is for them,ö she said. ôIt has the capacity to make them life-long learners in their faith. It fosters vocations, a life of service and a deep love of Christ.ö

A review of Salmonella.Edited by: Shah M. Faruque "a wealth of detailed, up-to-date information" (Microbiol. Today); "an excellent foundation" (Clin. Inf. Dis.) read more ...Review topics such as pathogenic properties, population genetics, virulence genes, evolution, drug resistance, epidemiology, detection, identification and control strategies. |
Adapted from Helene L. Andrews and Andreas J. Bäumler in Foodborne Pathogens: Microbiology and Molecular BiologySalmonella: Salmonella serotypes continue to be a prominent threat to food safety in the United States. Infections are commonly acquired by animal to human transmission though consumption of undercooked food products derived from livestock or domestic fowl. The second half of the 20th century saw the emergence of Salmonella serotypes that became associated with new food sources (i.e. chicken eggs) and the emergence of Salmonella serotypes with resistance against multiple antibiotics. Foodborne Pathogens: Microbiology and Molecular Biology provides an overview of epidemiology, pathogenesis and control of this important foodborne disease.

Comment: Decision details (Score 5, Informative) 934
Really sad that the links have few details, and more than 1.5 hours later, no one's posted anything more.
The decision text is available here. The decision is by Judge Edmond Chang, appointed in 2010 by Obama to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The case name is Illinois Association of Firearm Retailers v. City of Chicago (formerly known as Benson v. City of Chicago).
This link says that the lawsuit challenges five aspects of Chicago's law:
- the ban on any form of carriage
- the ban on gun stores
- the ban on firing ranges
- the ban on self-defense in garages, porches, and yards
- the ban on keeping more than one gun in an operable state

Welcome to our newly remodeled (finished May 2010) 3 Bedroom summer cottage on beautiful Owasco Lake with 85 ft of private lakefront. The 1000sqft cottage has an open floor plan with a brand new kitchen and bathroom. Sliding glass door leads out to a large two tiered deck complete with a hot tub overlooking Owasco Lake. The deck has a glass dining table that seats six on one side of the deck and a cushioned seating area for 4. A picnic table on the side of the house provides extra seating. The lower level of the deck has a brand new stainless gas grill and two deck chairs on one side, with a gate on the other side to step directly into the hot tub. Stairs leading down to the waterfront bring you to a 15X50 deck at the waters edge that has lounge chairs, table, plenty of seating and a refrigerator. 50ft of dock extending out into the lake has plenty of room for your boat or jetski. Or rent a boat from the marina about 3 miles down the lake. Use our 2 Kayaks or the canoe to tour the still lake waters of the morning.
The cottage is located on the east side of Owasco lake for clean water and beautiful sunsets. The location is perfect and close to everything. 40 minutes from Syracuse, 7 minutes from the town of Moravia, 15 minutes from Auburn, 20 minutes from Skaneateles. You can tour the beautiful Finger Lake wineries, hike the trails and beautiful waterfalls of Filmore Glen park. Stroll the quaint shops and restaurants in the village of Skaneateles, or head to the top of the lake for a broadway style show at the Merry Go Round theater in Emerson Park. So much to do in the area in a short driving distance.
The cottage is set on a half acre lot, so it has a large backyard to play just about any game you would like. A new fire pit sits about 30 ft from the house and is perfect for those cool nights or making s'mores.
The cottage is set up with beds for 12 people, but the house is very comfortable with 6 adults and 4-6 kids. One bedroom has a queen bed. The other two bedrooms have a bunk bed and a double bed in each. The living area has a brand new pull out queen sofa. Each bedroom has a window air conditioner, but no heat. The kitchen, dining room and living room are all one big room and great for entertaining.
Main room has a new 32 LCD tv on a articulating arm so the 205+ channels of Direct TV, or the WII game console, (bring your WII games) can be viewed from anywhere, but can be stowed out of the way if you just want to enjoy the view or peace and quiet. 5 disc cd/dvd changer has full surround sound, or use the speaker selector to use the ceiling or outdoor speakers. Ipod hookup is available both in the house and at the waters edge.
Two large ceiling fans keep the room very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with brand new appliances, utensils, plates, etc.

Ferrari has set the pace throughout the 2004 Formula One season with a string of dominant performances, with Michael Schumacher taking victory in no fewer than 11 of the first 12 races. But for the Italian team's rivals, the season is still far from over.
Williams is one of several teams to have suffered from a disappointing year thus far. The Grove based outfit currently stands fourth in the Constructors' Championship, with just 47 points against Ferrari's 184. But although the team knows it has effectively no chance of victory in either the Drivers' or Constructors' Championships, it certainly has not given up - and the target is a dramatic improvement in form in the six remaining races.
"It's very simple," says Frank Williams, Team Principal, "in order to win you need a car in which you can win in. Our goal has to be to supply a car that is in a position to do so. The best driver in the world can only win when he has a car capable of doing so."
With both Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya leaving Williams at the end of the season the task of mounting a serious Championship challenge next year will fall to new signing Mark Webber and his (yet to be confirmed) team-mate. The team is also keen to point out that this year's Williams FW26 has made progress over its predecessors. In Hockenheim last weekend Juan Pablo Montoya was almost two seconds a lap faster than last year's qualifying time, 1:13.668 minutes compared to 1:15.167. And his race pace was also quicker - by nearly half a second a lap.
The problem, of course, is that although Williams has made progress, Ferrari, BAR and Renault have all succeeded in doing better. Williams is now developing the car further for the Hungarian Grand Prix and the rest of the season through static work and short shakedown runs allowed under the provisions of the testing ban.

The Newcastle Eagles put their BBL Cup final heartache behind them to see off the Sheffield Sharks 107-86 and move two points clear at the top of the BBL.
Newcastle lost a thrilling final to Leicester in Birmingham last week, but have the slight advantage over the Riders in the table - having played a game more - after Joe Chapman poured in 41 points to inspire a comfortable win.
David Watts scored 21 points as the Manchester Giants saw off the Surrey Heat 85-68 to edge clear of the foot of the table.
Friday's game between the Worcester Wolves and London Lions was postponed due to bad weather.

'Knitter's Gift' to Kindle; 'Dagon and Jill' to eBook
So many updates, so much time.
From my written past, The Knitter's Gift has migrated to Kindle. Contained within is my essay, "The Big Sweater," my first non-fiction published piece. (Thanks to editor, Bernadette Murphy.) If you like knitting, and you especially like big knitted sweaters, then this could be your eBook.
Short story "Dagon and Jill" has been accepted into Wildside Press' Megapack Series. This eBook will be released sometime this year.
Also, I've taken all my "Unreasonable Doubt" jury duty posts from last September, polished them to a high gloss, cut out about a thousand words and sent the essay off to a magazine specializing in essays or "creative non-fiction" as it's called nowadays. Hopefully, that story will find a caring home and be allowed to stay up late and watch cable.
Another story, "Death Honk," about how far a man will go for work, has been sent out to a publication that bares no ill-will to reprints.
I've also finished and submitted a brand new short story, "Bummed Out." This would be my first venture outside comedy, horror, both, or bizzare things. I guess you might label it a suspense thriller about brutal teenagers learning their fun isn't always jolly for others—and vice versa.
Idleness? I think not.

Yay for John! Lean Mean Publishing Machine.
Perhapx you should write a subject un the category of "Non-creative non-fiction."
The possibilities have end. Who knows, you are great at writing in many other genres, you could strike gold! - 4:28 PM

I'm liking it, Luke.

A landslide disrupted traffic on the busy Ooty-Coonoor national highway on Monday.
Though there was no rain a sizeable chunk of land below Sathya Sai Nagar along the highway suddenly came down with a lot of vegetation including a tree early in the morning.
Fortunately there were no vehicles or pedestrians at the spot when the slide occurred.However since the tree fell on an overhead electric line power supply to some areas was hit.
Traffic was diverted via Lovedale and Kotagiri till the road was cleared by fire and rescue services personnel and others.
The incident subjected commuters including many office goers to considerable inconvenience.
The spot is being studied by the authorities concerned to establish the cause of the landslide.
Having been battered by torrential rains accompanied by howling winds and bitter cold over the last few days, many parts of the Nilgiris including Ooty and Coonoor experienced marginally better weather on Monday.
Since the mercury started ascending and the rains were only intermittent there was not much difficulty in the people going about their routine work.
During the 24 hour period ending 8.30 a.m. on Monday Coonoor recorded 77 mm of rainfall, Burliar: 65mm, Kotagiri: 59mm and Ketti: 25mm.

Set up to be the fall guy in a bank robbery he didn't commit, aimless Buffalo toll-booth operator Henry (Keanu Reeves) is sentenced to three years in jail.
Upon leaving, he feels aggrieved at the injustice – "I did the time, I may as well have done the crime" – and decides to rob the bank anyway, with the help of his erstwhile cellmate Max (James Caan).
This comes after they discover an ancient tunnel between the bank's vault and a nearby theatre, where a production of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard is in rehearsals.
So far, so Small Time Crooks. But then the film goes all Vanya On 42nd Street on us (well, sort of), as Henry and Max worm their way backstage. The only way to gain access to the tunnel is for Henry to secure a certain dressing room – and the role of Lopakhin.
Thrown into the mix is a love affair between Henry and leading actress Julie (Vera Farmiga), some foot-stomping from the play's Russian director (Peter Stormare, over-acting as if his life depended on it) and a bank security guard (Bill Duke) who wants his revenge on his ungrateful employers.
Following his London low-life tale 44 Inch Chest, director Malcolm Venville delivers another movie that puts the accent on acting.
It's heartening to see the players enjoying their craft – especially Caan, whose touching portrayal of an old lag feels like a softer-hearted version of his criminal in Bottle Rocket.
Farmiga gives another cool turn, familiar to anyone who saw Up In The Air, while Reeves' quietly studied performance takes you back to the days of My Own Private Idaho.
Alas, there's little of the exuberance Sacha Gervasi (co-scripting here) captured in his outstanding rock-doc Anvil! to be found here.
Neither funny enough to be an out-and-out comedy nor tense enough to work as a thriller, Venville instead cuts between the heist and opening night in the final third in the hope of teasing out some significance.
Like watching Reeves playing Chekhov, it's a bit of a stretch.
Laid-back and lugubrious, the early promise of Henry's Crime wanes as its efforts to splice crime caper with backstage drama becomes increasingly laboured. But with the cast on their game, the film just about gets away with it.

A Growing Sensation on the Green
02.04.12 | New York Times | Adam Schupak
Following the lead of a growing number of touring pros, many recreational golfers are clamoring for a putter with an extended handle that sticks into the stomach, sternum or, as some prefer, the chin. Golfers are making the switch because it promotes a more consistent setup and removes the wrists from the stroke while still allowing for a pendulum motion.The belly putter is the great white hope, said Steve Boccieri, the maker of the Heavy Putter.
Boccieri found himself writing orders in October for 800 putters from the golf retailer Golfsmith and 1,000 from Golf Town, Canadas largest golf-specialty store.

The Shuar shamans (uwishin) split a 1- to 2-meter-long piece of Banisteriopsis caapi stem into small strips. They place the strips in a pot along with several liters of water. They then add leaves of Diplopterys cabrerana, a Herrania species, Ilex guayusa, Heliconia stricta, and an unidentified Malpighiaceae known as mukuyasku. The resulting mixture is boiled until most of the water has evaporated
Nice dosage for an average sized and experienced adult: 50 gms dried Chacruna leafs.
50 gms dried Banisteriopsis Caapi vine. *(Fresh green leaves and liana are always preferred as they seem to contain at least twice the psychoactive potency, but obviously difficult to procure in that state.)
3-5 grams Peganum Harmala seeds crushed in two table spoons in flavored ice cream or picante salsa. I've found either of those foods will effectively disguise the rude taste where broths, soups, and other foods fail.
In 15-30 min, ingest 12-20 gms Mimosa Hostilis root bark powder extract in five
The use of Banisteriopsis Caapi in this recipe is based on the premise that a) a brew of Banisteropsis Caapi and (usually) Psychotria viridis is the traditional South American brew, b) the Caapi is particularly important as traditionally the Caapi itself is considered to be "ayahuasca" while the DMT-containing plants are simply helpers, and c) and the experience it provides are smoother, safer, and "wiser" than that produced by Peganum harmala (syrian rue).
Wrap the caapi in a towel and break it up with a hammer until it is shredded. Powder the Mimosa hostilis with a coffee grinder or shred by hand.
In one pot, put in the Mimosa, a teaspoon of vinegar, and a liter or so of water.
In another pot, put in the caapi, and a similar amount of water and vinegar.
Simmer for 2-3 hours or until water level gets low. Avoid boiling -- it should be just cool enough not to bubble. Speak your intentions to the brew as it is brewing; listen to the sounds
