|Key points to consider
Employers of private household staff in the UK have the same legal responsibilities as commercial employers and are required by law to:
These obligations also apply:
Consider the following:
Failure to pay all tax / NI liabilities before 19 April each year results in interest being charged on the amount outstanding. All these legal obligations can be not only complex but also time-consuming, especially for a first-time employer. Without working knowledge of the tax system and current employment law, you are entering a minefield. Businesses use skilled payroll, legal and human resources professionals. Now you can too - at a fraction of the price.
employment law
|Employing European nationals
Most nationals from the European Economic Area (EEA) can enter and work in the UK without restrictions. You will need to ask nationals from all EEA countries to produce a document showing their nationality since their are specific restrictions for certain nationalities.

employment costs
|Benefits in kind
Benefits in kind are sometimes provided by the employer in addition to the employee's salary. They are often taxable benefits and must be reported annually as part of employee's gross earnings.

Can the University of Cincinnati keep Butch Jones?
- Staff Cincinnati Business Courier
Other universities are interested in making University of Cincinnati football coach Butch Jones their next coach, wcpo.com reported.
Jones met with officials from Purdue University Sunday to discuss the school's vacant head coaching position. The 44-year-old coach led the Bearcats to a 9-1 record and a share of the Big East title this season.
In addition to the Purdue job, Colorado has become a school in pursuit of Jones. The Denver Post reports that interview could occur Monday.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
08 Sep 2010 11:34 GMT | Sport, India, Israel, Pakistan, United Kingdom
For a nation devastated by floods and embarrassed over a cricket corruption scandal, Pakistanis are pinning their hopes on an unlikely sporting star to give the country something to cheer.
After a month of fasting for Ramadan, Pakistani Muslims will celebrate Eid this weekend and many will also hope that Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi can add to the festivities by becoming the first tennis player from his country to win a grand slam title.
Tennis tends to slip under the radar in cricket-and-hockey-mad Pakistan but Qureshi has already raised the sport's profile by breaking new ground for his country after reaching the US Open mixed doubles final and semi-finals of the men's doubles event.
"I know how important my performances are right now for my countrymen," Qureshi told Geo Super channel from New York.
"I am eager to give them something to celebrate about after the floods and cricket scandal.
"I am really proud to become the first Pakistani to reach the knockout stage of a grand slam event but my job is still not finished as yet."
Betting scandal
Pakistani cricket fans have been left disheartened by the latest controversy to befall the side, a spot-fixing and betting scandal in England that has led to the suspension of Test skipper Salman Butt and fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif.
"I know how important my performances are right now for my countrymen. I am eager to give them something to celebrate about after the floods and cricket scandal"
Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, Pakistani tennis player
Qureshi, who is ranked 34th in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) men's doubles rankings, is also no stranger to controversy but has shaken off the problems to flourish as a player.
In 2002, he faced the wrath of his countrymen and national tennis federation for partnering Israel's Amir Hadad in the doubles event at Wimbledon and the US Open.
He was also criticised when he started his current doubles partnership with India's Rohan Bhopanna three years ago, but Qureshi remains unbowed by any negativity and has always maintained that sport was above caste, creed or politics.
"He has always been a strong character and once he makes up his mind he will not change it," his mother Nausheen Ehtesham told the Reuters news agency, adding that her son had the ability to triumph in New York.
'We need good news'
"We all need some good news and I am confident my son can do it," she said.
Pakistan Davis Cup coach Rashid Malik acknowledges that Qureshi's strong tennis background – his grandfather Khawaja Iftikhar was an all-India champion – and his parents have been a source of great support.
"I think Qureshi always had talent but also had the advantage of parents who supported and financed him," Malik said.
"In Pakistan, tennis is not taken seriously as a career although we have talent."
For the last three years, Qureshi has concentrated on a doubles career after attaining a highest ranking of 125th in singles but Malik believes it is still not too late for the 30-year-old to make an impact on his own.
"He just has to work on his fitness and raise its level to do well in singles," Malik said.
Qureshi is partnering Czech Kveta Peschke in the mixed doubles at Flushing Meadows.

I'm a relatively new brewer, but as I'm sure we all know, we are constantly acquiring gear. I just scored, what I believe to be some great gear!
4 5 gal Sanke's
3 7.75 gal Sanke's
1 Corney
20# CO2 bottle
Coupler & Faucet
Yea baby!!
Its your Lucky Day!!!
if those canisters have circular yellow figures with black trapezoids evenly spaced in them, I'd prolly stay away from them.
The Pin lock and Co2 tank are great but the sanke's are tough to use without the proper cleaning and filling equipment.
Heck of a score Brother!
I use 1/2 and 1/4BBL Sanke's for fermenters, and the 1/6BBL's for serving out of. They are easy to clean and easy to serve from, it takes me about 20 seconds to disassemble one and 45 seconds tops to put one back together.
Do a couple overnight hot oxiclean soaks, if there is still stuff in them after that then an acid soak (CLR or 3X StarSan) can eat off beerstone fairly well. The nice thing about using them as fermenters is that they are easy to clean and you can stretch an Orange Carboy Cap over the neck. You can also sanitize them by tossing about a gallon of water in them and tossing them on your burner.

Okay, I am an economist as well, but as economist you should know about the foolish models...

Okay, I am an economist as well, but as economist you should know about the foolish models...
So, these predictations are nonsense, Germany will grow by at least one percent!
When examining the same pattern of high growth like the kind in Libya, Iraq, Somalia etc., it seems that countries will have to endure bombing by the Hegemonic forces to the dark ages like the Japs and German after WW2.
Sad and discouraging to know that there are no democracies among the fastest growers while among the top shrinkers most of them are.
However I find this GDP charts absurd.
Most of the industrialized world economies need to shrink. We are already using up the planetary ecosystem way faster that it can be replenished, so we have to use less and share more. Low income countries and recent war zones need economic growth, so unless we find an extra planet or two the only way that pressure will be relieved is if the industrial economies plan their shrinkage so that it results in more justice.
Why is there no prediction for the UK?
Strong growth but based on dodgy fundamentals in some seriously flaky countries.
The numbers make sense to me. I just looked up the data for the dutch and german statistics agencies and based on the current never-quite-enough euro policies, they predict a contraction of up to half a percentage point and possibly an increase in unemployment. Deficits are expected to go down but still not enough to be within the agreed upon margins, inviting even more budget cuts. Both the monetary and budgetary issues will thus contract the overall economy.
Just curious, what exactly is fueling Mongolia's growth? I understand it's probably indirectly an effect of China's growth, but is it from exporting agriculture, coal, or services?
Metal of all kinds. Mainly iron I think. Has been described a China's quarry
Macau grew 25% in 2009 and something similar in 2010. At this rate it will have the highest GDP per capita in the whole of Asia
Not in 2012 methinks… Qatar is in Asia.
And people still believe PIIGs have a fisable financial future...
Let me tell you something. Things will only start to improve after Europe defaults. Default at once, and a new life to markets will follow. OF course, there will be months similar to 4Q08 and 1Q09, and government (US only) will have to help stalve markets. But after that, the wolrd will be half-resolved.
There will only be left China, who fools the whole world pretending to be competitive on the back of a devalued currency. Check ou France's situation during the depression. It had the same devalued franc over gold, and simply felt they were great while Britain and the rest of the world sank into depression. After the gold standar ended, they realized they accumulated 2 years of un-done reforms in its pipeline.
And Brazilian Government, enjoy the last quarters of high commodities prices, and get ready to get out of bad after 10 years of eating until you got 250Kg of fat. Diet will be hard, and markets won't be friendly when your bills start showing deficits due to lower taxes collection due to lower revenues from lower commodities prices. PT is so smart to achieve what other governments tried for years! Or isn't it ? Or is it enjoying the commodites ride...
But fear not 2012. fear 2013. Why ? cause in 2013 we don't have any elections. In 2012 we have in US, France and Germany. Do you think Merkozy and Obama will not do everything to avoid a deeped turmoil like the Lehman one ? They will. As for 2013, Obama will re-elect (Romney is Mormon for Christ sake - Not that I have anything against mormon, but people have big bias on religion), but Republicans will control house and senate, which means more abuse of our patiance when discussing budget.
Happy new year !
China's economy won't grow until the U.S. consumers start spending money again. They are an export driven economy. They don't buy their own stuff at a rate consummate with the growth expectations they have. Basically if the U.S. doesn't buy their stuff, all of those little trinkets, bobbles, and gadgets that Americans go buy at Dollar General and Walmart, the Chinese don't have an economy. The same goes for India, Japan, and Europe. The whole world is dependent on Americans using credit cards to buy their crap. As far as Brazil goes, at least they buy their own products. That is how you keep an economy going. People buy stuff, and because people buy stuff, then other people have jobs selling and making the stuff that people buy. All economic growth is based on this premise. What matters more than anything for economic growth is how many different times a particular dollar changes hands. One of the problems with dollars and reals and yuan is that they circulate once, twice, or thrice, and then get locked up in bank vaults and treasury bonds. If the Chinese would take those dollars they collect or take those reals they collect and buy stuff from the U.S. or Brazil in return, something besides treasury bills or commodities, then the world economy might return back to normal again. As it stands now, the Chinese are cash hoarders, along with all of the banks who are hoarding cash. Deficits, trade or otherwise don't matter in the grand scheme. As far as commodities go, as a rule of thumb, if your countries economy is reliant on commodity exports so that it can subsidize its citizens standard of living then you don't really have a viable economy to begin with. The only places where commodity subsidization works any where in the world to any great extent is the Arabian Gulf states. Those are the only six countries in the world where the country can successfully subsidize its entire population based on commodity revenues. UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, in the whole wide world those are the only people who have successfully subsidized their economy based on subsidized exports or a commodity. Every other successful economy on Earth has to actually produced manufactured goods and have an export surplus to the United States in order to have a successful economy.
You should read a book called "Endgame" it explains some of these concepts brilliantly.
forecasts are always wrong.
Turkey will record high growth. Last quarter's growth rate is 8.8% and foreign trade deficit is declined slightly.
Facchin, nkab, Connects to Dot, StaleVariety, jingie
Thanks so much for your support !!!
are you sure about Germany expected to have a recession?
last forecast I saw was positive: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/forecast-german-2012-economy-grow-10221166...
(+0.6% for 2012)
Sad to see India not featuring in that list. Hopefully the Government of India will get its act together and push for more economic reforms in 2012.
No matter how the economy,China needs to plant more trees next years.
@silent nightJan 4th 2012 16:16 GMT
"No matter how the economy,China needs to plant more trees next years."
That's "unnecessary roughness" on your part.
FYI, China, with some 2.05 million sq km of forest in 2007, is the only country with significant increase in forest area from 1990 to 2007--- A unprecedented 30.7% increase, among world's top 5 countries in terms of forest areas (Russia, Brazil, Canada, USA, China, in that order), according to UN's World Resources Institute data.
The respective rate of increase of forest area from 1990 to 2007 of top 5 is respectively:
Russia== 0%; Brazil== (-9.3%); Canada== 0%; USA== +1.6%; China== +30.7%.
For India who ranked 10th with 0.678 m sq km of forest area, the similar increase rate is +6%.
The moral? China would plant more trees in 2012, but it's other countries, India included, should plant more trees.
more trees,better life!What is wrong with my comment?
I majored in Economics and world history,I know what is economics and the world how to run.No tree,no work for the world.
silent night in reply to nkab Jan 4th 2012 17:43 GMT
"more trees,better life!What is wrong with my comment?"
Nothing wrong there on second thought. My apology. To make you feel better, I did participated in a few tree planting occasions in bare hills stripped clean before.
If I had a million dollars last year, and I was projected to make 1,000 dollars this year, that's 0.1% of growth.
If I had 1,000 dollars last year and I was projected to make 1,000 dollars this year, that's 100% of growth.
With nothing much left over last year, Libya will surely be on top this year on just about any growth rate.
Such is the beauty of percentage charts in multi-entry presentation.
Class A comment!! but for sure people will earn
Ahhhh forecastings .... why are they always wrong?
guys, everything is cool, Ellas77 has solved the problem. any country with issues just need to buy a few ferraris and drive them around wherever american tourists hang out. and hide all the homeless people.
there, no more euro crisis. god why is it taking so long for everyone else to figure this out?
I am surprised to see Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands forecasted to shrink. Even with a Euro-crises, Germany exports a ton, Luxembourg is small and rich and in the middle of Western Europe, and the Netherlands is N. Europes entrepot and has banking and energy.
I recall the year end magazine making some mention with its predictins, but didn't feel sufficient content or evidence was provided to justifying a forecast of shrinkage for the above countries. Hopefully the Economist could elaborate further on its logic (they used to do a great roadshow actually, with great side decks on these forecasts in the past - I attended a couple).
Glad to see Libya and Iraq growing. Hopefully they use it to buy off some peace amongst political factions.
And glad to see Bhutan growing. PBS had an interesting documentary on the country the other weekend. One example: They have hydroelectric, but seems they divert water to undergrown facilities rather than damn up and contain whole rivers, so infrastructure is kept low key..
"I am surprised to see Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands forecasted to shrink."
Many of my Dutch acquaintances think the Netherlands was already in recession in the last two or so months. I don't know about Germany or Luxembourg.
In Germany the economic mood is top!!

Kisarazu Things to Do
This is probably Japan's most glorious "Parking Rest Area" as it lies right as Aqualine tunnel under Tokyo Bay ends, and becomes a bridgeway. There are restaurants, shopping centres, observation decks, but unlike most parking rest areas in this country, there is no gasoline/petrol stand.
Definitely worth to stop and really rest, especially at sunrise or sunset. There is a strong sea breeze from being on the ocean.Related to:

Kisarazu Transportation
The Aqualine expressway, 1/2 of which is submerged under Tokyo Bay and the other 1/2 upon a bridgeway above the sea, opened with much fanfare in 1997. This links the south industrial section of Kawasaki here to Kisarazu.
Though at first glance appearing to provide "shortcut" through the Tokyo Bay, the fanfare was muted by public criticism of the rather pricey tolls - 3,000 yen per passenger car for single crossing, or for return journey from "Umihotaru" scenic rest area with observation deck, shopping and eating.
There is also a public bus running once or twice an hour which costs up to 1,400 yen for single complete crossing.Related to:
- Road Trip
Kisarazu Favorites
Favorite thing: The Chiba plain is relatively large peninsular, low-lying with a few hills and no mountains unlike most of Japan. Many rice fields abound in this area, also Chiba-grown peanuts are known throughout Japan.Related to:

- Hiking and Walking
Favorite thing: There are local fisheries here facing Tokyo Bay. In the distance can be seen Aqualine Exp. Bridge, and on a really clear day Mt. Fuji can be seen in the distance.Related to:

thatgirl08 posted a message to TawnyStokes
Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my book, [Summer's Boy] so read it maybe? Possibly? Please! Lol thanks XD :)
From an early age, I loved to make stuff up. Just ask my mother. She could tell you all kinds of stories of stories that I told her. My favorite subject in school was English, because I got to write. But I didn't think to pursue a career in writing when I graduated because I had no idea that a person could make money doing so or even how to go about it. But now I get paid to do just that after changing my career three times to finally accept I wanted to be a writer. I'm an author of more than 14 books under the name Vivi Anna, including the award winning Valorian Chronicles from Harlequin. I'm an avid reader, talker, walker, and movie watcher, and I'm always on the lookout for the next big thing. A lover of teen horror films, I also write screenplays and TV scripts and hope to one day be the next Kevin Williamson (he created and writes for the show Vampire Diaries). Speaking of movies, some of my favorites are Lord of the Rings, X-Men, The Dark Knight, and Chronicle. Some of my favorite TV shows right now are Game of Thrones, Homeland, Dexter, Supernatural, Copper, Nurse Jackie, Arrested Development and Community.

In the era of MySpace and Facebook people must be more careful than ever with the pictures they post of themselves on the Internet.

That doesn't stop the members of CollarMe, a BDSM dating site.

Sean Carton | September 13, 2000 | Comments
Sean decided he wanted to write a column about wireless email/wireless advertising, but in his quest to get information from companies that had run successful wireless advertising campaigns, he didn't get a single response, and, as far as he knows, no one has done anything of any size when it comes to wireless "advertising." Why? Because it won't work. In a medium that lends itself to user control and user pull, "advertising" as we know it may just be a stupid strategy.
For those of you who don't know (though I'd suspect most of you do), ProfNet is a wonderful resource for journalists and PR practitioners alike. Basically, it allows journalists to post information to a global mailing list and then lets PR folks who subscribe to the list respond back to the journalists if they've got info, story ideas, or a product to flack that might fit the bill. When writing this column every week, my limited mental faculties have been helped many a time from leads I've received from ProfNet queries I've sent out.
So when I decided I wanted to write a column about wireless email/wireless advertising, (as well as speaking on the subject today, if you're at the ClickZ Conference), I sent out a ProfNet query to troll for leads. Without getting into the excess verbiage of the whole request, basically I asked for information from companies that had run successful wireless advertising campaigns. I didn't need anything fancy, just some simple information and case studies of results.
Guess what? I didn't get a single response.
OK. I should qualify that. I got lots of responses from people hawking their company's wireless advertising service. LOTS. The only problem was that as soon as I asked them for results, they became eerily silent. I got a little hemming and hawing about "getting back to me" but never saw another email.
Now this wasn't exactly a scientific study, but it sure does make me wonder if anyone's actually doing any wireless advertising out there. Sure, there are companies like Vindigo and AvantGo that have done some work with sponsoring parts of their systems (and, strictly speaking, AvantGo isn't totally wireless), but as far as I know, no one has done anything of any size when it comes to wireless "advertising."
Why? Because it won't work.
Am I indicting the whole wireless industry? Absolutely not. But Jakob Nielsen's article about the WAP backlash gives some clues. Basically it comes down to this: Given the screen size of current phones, the intrusiveness of dealing with incoming messages, and the way that people seem to want to use wireless (see what's going on with Japan and I-mode for some examples of what's working), it seems to me that "advertising" as we know it just isn't going to work in a wireless format. It may work on the web, but the wireless world isn't the web.
Let's compare. Most users experience the web through a 17-inch monitor. Most cell-phone screens are 1.5 inches. The web presents a rich multimedia experience. Wireless is (for the moment) text only. Surfing the web is a continuous process that can be "on" all day. Receiving ads via your cell phone is interrupt-driven, requiring immediate attention.
The list could go on and on. The point is that (and you'll remember this same refrain from the early days of the web) we're working with an entirely new medium. The constraints (and opportunities) offered by new wireless capabilities will require new thinking.
What will work? A recent Forrester study that examines the issue points out that mobile devices lend themselves to fast, simple, location-based services. People using their cell phones for information and transactions are using them because they need something in particular, and they need it now. They're not going to research their next car purchase on a one-inch screen, but they might buy a movie ticket as they walk by the theater.
Yes, I know this isn't "advertising" in the sense that it doesn't involve messages pushed out to users. But that's exactly the point. In a medium that lends itself to user control and user pull, "advertising" as we know it may just be a stupid strategy. Would you want your cell phone, pager, or PDA buzzing at you with messages all day long?
Probably not. What you will want is to be able to use these devices to bring you the products, services, and information you need when you need it. As marketers, providing those products, services, and information to our wireless users in a way that builds our brands is what's gonna work. Think apps, not ads.

Romano Ricci, the self-described "offbeat dandy of the perfume world," used only a single element to create this minimalist perfume. Ricci takes Shakespeare's ill-fated heroine as the inspiration for his line, giving her a 21st century makeover. Not a Perfume is a unique, minimalist scent that uses just a single note.
I absolutely ADORE this perfume. I first got in in my BB perfume sample box and fell in love with this scent. It is not like any others out there, the smell is so faint and nice...different. I have been on the waitlist patiently waiting till I can order this one..and I will continue to wait until it is available that is how much I love it.5
I can't say enough about how great this "Not a Perfume" is!! I am very picky when it comes to scents. It can't be over powering and it has to make me feel good. I couldn't get enough of this scent. I kept smelling my wrist all day! It is light, feminine and lasts all day. The bottle will last you a long time because it doesn't take a lot, just a dab here and there. It's my new favorite scent and I can't wait until I can afford to get the full size. I'm using it just for date nights with my husband right now until I can order. I get so many compliments on it.5
I have been a Burberry girl for YEARS!! Since I was in high school I refused to even consider anything else, until I got this sample in my box! It was so different, but I fell madly, deeply in love!! I get compliments on this all the time and I have already purchased the full size product!! It's great because it doesn't take much per application. It's just perfect!!5

new construction vs replacement windows
I need some help. My windows are only 10 years old and are single-hung. They are drafty so I have decided to replace them. First my house is on a slab and has vinyl siding. So I have been told, I cannot go with replacement windows but rather new construction windows. Also, I have wide blinds and have been told they will not work with replacement windows, that I may have to get rid of them.
Second, I am a woman and feel like I am being taken with the installation and the costs. No one wants to explain the process to me, they just want to install the windows, get paid then leave. This is a big concern to me as I am retired and on a limited income.
Please help me with the glass thickness, low e and argon etc. and how to make the right decision.
Find another dealer. I have always considered replacement windows as something that is made to fit in any frame. Unless the frame size is the same for both your current and new windows, I don't see how they would fit.
Perhaps the wide blinds won't fit because the new window is wider than the old window (mainly because all new windows these days are double glazed.)
As for LoE, it is a coating that lowers the heat transfer and retards the solar heat gain (i.e., the sun coming in and heating the home - which although good in the winter is very bad in the summer.) The glass manufacturer is probably Cardinal, which makes a number of LoE glasses - 240, 270 & 366. The last two digits are the visual light transmittance in percent (the lower, the more shading.)
The 366 seems to be the best glass for any window that would get the summer sun, as it has the best solar heat gain retarding with a good light transmittance (good for east & west.) The 270 is the cheapest, but has low solar gain retarding (good for the north, or south, if the eaves are long enough.) The 240 is almost like a tinted glass, and nowadays is really only put in by cheap contractors who don't want to pay the extra for the 366.
Argon or Krypton (or any noble gas) lowers the heat transfer even more - but not enough IMHO (at typical dealer prices) to make it worth it. Besides, evidently the gas bleeds out after a few years, being replaced with plain air, which is about 3/4 Nitrogen and 1/4 oxygen (both diatomic molecules which result in a higher heat transfer coefficient than the noble gases.)

Bob Klapisch: A-Rod now stands alone facing suspension through 2014 season
Alex Rodriguez, who, on the scale of one-to-reckless is usually off the charts, managed to top himself this weekend when he suggested there's a conspiracy between the Yankees and Major League Baseball to rob him of the $96 million he's owed through 2017. A-Rod perhaps thought he was championing the rights of the oppressed him — but instead blew up the ongoing negotiations with MLB.

HELP! Candlewax all over stone fireplace and wood mantle!
We just moved into a new home a few weeks ago and I was burning some red votive candles in a glass holder on the mantle. I heard a noise during the evening, and thought the kitties were up to "no good" but after looking around, I couldn't find anything....until I was ready to go to bed and went to blow out the candles.
The wax is on the wood mantle and dripped (splashed) onto the stone fireplace and hearth. My question is, How do I successfully remove red candle wax from a stone fireplace and wood mantle?????
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Try scraping off as much as you can with a PLASTIC putty knife first.
Then put a couple of layers of brown paper over the wax (like paper bags) and go over it with an iron set on the lowest setting. The wax will melt and be absorbed by the paper. Once some wax is absorbed, continue this method with a clean section of the brown paper. This may ruin your iron, so get an old, cheap one if you can. Try to avoid wiping the melted wax, as this will spread it around.
Good Luck!
Been there....done that....heard the "trickle" of melted wax running down the mantle, on to the brick, to the tile hearth and splashon the carpet.
What will work best is a combination of all the above methods.
First scraping all you can with a plastic scraper.....then chilling with ice and using a tooth pick.....and finally using an iron and paper towels to absorb the last of the wax....
I had at least a full cup of candle wax ( from a big multi-wick candle) on my Sarouk.....and I got it up! Just takes patience.

Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton made some amends while in Tampa Bay for the AL division series against the Rays, the franchise that selected him with the first overall draft pick in 1999.
MANHATTAN (AP) - Anyone who might have wondered about Collin Klein's toughness got a definitive answer when Kansas State played at Miami a couple weeks ago.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - After more than a year of watching their league get picked apart, leaders of Big 12 Conference finally made a proactive move Thursday by voting to add TCU as early as next season.
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Big swings by a slumping hitter, clutch innings by a journeyman pitcher. Suddenly, the St. Louis Cardinals are looking very dangerous.
There they stand, the first-place Buccaneers and the first-place 49ers, ready to face off at Candlestick Park.
The folks at the Big 12 offices must have been smiling as they saw these results roll in:
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Pinch-hitter Ben Francisco and closer Ryan Madson made manager Charlie Manuel's moves look smart, and the Philadelphia Phillies held off the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in their NL playoff series.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - This is what Adrian Beltre envisioned when he signed with Texas in the offseason. Balls jumping off his bat in October, the Rangers making another run for the pennant.
NEW YORK (AP) - The NBA canceled the remainder of the preseason Tuesday and will wipe out the first two weeks of the regular season if there is no labor agreement by Monday.
LAWRENCE (AP) - Kansas has seen this story line before: A top-ranked offense against its bottom-of-the-barrel defense.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Le'Ron McClain posted a bold tweet a little over a week ago after another tough loss to the San Diego Chargers had dropped the Chiefs to 0-3.
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) - ESPN pulled Hank Williams Jr.'s classic intro song from its broadcast of Monday night's NFL game after the country singer famous for the line "Are you ready for some football?" used an analogy to Adolf Hitler in discussing President Barack Obama.
MANHATTAN - Kansas State was minutes from losing to Eastern Kentucky. A goal line stand from getting beat at Miami. And trailed most of the way against Baylor.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Back on the road in the playoffs, the Texas Rangers won again.
LSU and Alabama are the top two teams in the country one month before their game in Tuscaloosa.
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The first ticket has yet to be sold, but the richest fight in boxing history is getting richer by the day.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - In the 2008 national championship, with Kansas trailing Memphis by three and 10.8 seconds left in the game, coach Bill Self called for his team to run a play called "Chop."
Steps taken by the NCAA to address the ongoing attendance concern at the women's NCAA Tournament are working, at least in some places.
Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings have reached a standstill.
SEATTLE (AP) - For Gonzaga, it's on to the next round. For North Dakota State, it's back to the grocery store.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant likely won't return this season.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Duke started fast. Virginia finished strong.
SEATTLE (AP) - There was no caucus needed to decide this election. The two most impressive teams as the NCAA Tournament returned to Seattle for the first time in 11 years on Friday were from the state of Iowa.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Aaron Harrison scored 13 points, Trey Lyles added 11 with 11 rebounds and top-ranked Kentucky outworked eighth-seeded Cincinnati for a 64-51 victory Saturday to remain undefeated and reach the Sweet 16 for the second straight season.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - It took the NCAA Tournament to finally bring Kansas and Wichita State together.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The last few weeks have been an exercise in patience for Kansas. Shots haven't been falling, the offense hasn't looked good. The game has been a struggle.
WICHITA (AP) - Wichita State University fans hoping to watch the Shockers' NCAA tournament game Sunday at a Wichita arena should make other plans.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Rarely is Kansas an afterthought.

Watch Tori Amos Wail on Radiohead's 'Creep'
Plsu, our suggestions for more challenging, less overdone Thom Yorke covers
Search YouTube for Radiohead's 1992 classic "Creep" and you're liable to find about a million cover versions of the track. (We've previously ranked our favorite versions of the track, ranging from Kelly Clarkson to Korn.) But, as Consequence of Sound points out, you won't find one from Thom Yorke and Co. any more recent than a half-decade ago. So, since Radiohead refuses to play the song in concert any longer, these remakes are sort of all we have to help supplement our appetite for that particular recipe of alt-angst — each one both redundant and so fucking special in its own way.
Now Tori Amos, no stranger to alt-angst herself, has thrown her hat into the ring, giving the track an impassioned go at a Wednesday night concert in New York City while on tour supporting her Unrepentant Geraldines album. Her piano performance is moving and tender and even if you've heard this song before it's worth paying particular attention to the wild flurry she puts on the old "she's running out the door" refrain.
This isn't Amos' first affair with Yorke's main band. She covered "Karma Police" about a decade back on her Beekeeper tour, which you can hear here. Still, those are two of the songiest Radiohead songs in the game, and oft-covered both. So please, allow us to offer anyone considering a Radiohead cover a few more challenging suggestions. Get back to us when you unlock "Pyramid Song" for acoustic guitar.
Those should keep you busy a little while, and hopefully conjure some added creativity too.

Consumer satisfaction with mortgage lenders is up for a third consecutive year and is at the highest level in seven years, according to the latest industry rankings from J.D. Power and...
Borrowers to Get $8.5B Settlement
Some 3.8 million homeowners will share in an $8.5 billion settlement over improper foreclosure and mortgage servicing practices, the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) announced today.
The agreement, reached with 10 of the nation's largest mortgage servicers, benefits homeowners who were in foreclosure in either 2009 or 2010. It provides for $3.3 billion in direct cash payments and $5.2 billion in other assistance, such as loan modifications or forgiveness of deficiency judgments.
Up to $125,000 for individual borrowers
Individual homeowners will receive compensation ranging from several hundred dollars to as much as $125,000, depending on the nature of the error made in foreclosing on or servicing their mortgage.
The agreement resolves enforcement actions put into place against the mortgage servicers in April 2011 as a result of deficient practices in mortgage servicing or foreclosing on mortgages. The agreement announced today is separate from and in addition to the $25 billion settlement reached last year among certain mortgage servicers, state attorneys general and the federal government over improper foreclosure and loan servicing practices related to the robosigning scandal.
Those eligible to be contacted
Today's agreement puts to an end the Independent Foreclosure Review, which involved case-by-case examinations of foreclosures conducted during 2009-10, and replaces it with a broader process intended to provide individual borrowers with relief more quickly. Eligible borrowers are scheduled to be contacted by the end of March with details about compensation; borrowers need not have submitted a request for review to be eligible.
The settlement stems from claims that some borrowers had their homes improperly foreclosed on in the wake of the 2008 economic crash and that mortgage servicers mishandled applications for loan modifications by others.
Mortgage servicers participating in today's agreement include the nation's four largest banks, Bank of America, Citibank, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo, as well as Aurora Banks FSB, MetLife, PNC, SunTrust and US BankCorp. The Federal Reserve and OCC are continuing to work toward reaching an settlement with other mortgage servicers who are not a part of today's agreement.

Real Wedding: Julie & Jason
A foodie and her beau create a rustic, elegant wedding with a four-star spread of food.Julie and Jason at their April 27,2013, wedding in Leesburg, Virginia. All photographs courtesy of Katelyn James Photography.
In 2010, Table for Two food blogger Julie Chiou hosted a Super Bowl party for several friends—and friends of friends. One of those in attendance was Jason Wampler, a cute IT professional who exchanged a brief "hello" and a few words of introduction with his host. While it may have seemed like polite party chit-chat, both felt a spark, and a week later when Julie friended Jason on Facebook, he returned the social media compliment and began following her on Twitter.
Soon after, Julie received a text: "Hey, this is Jason. I got your number from Facebook. Don't freak out! What are you doing tonight?" Intrigued, Julie told Jason to meet her in Arlington, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Two years later, while celebrating their anniversary as a couple at their apartment, Jason disappeared to retrieve a "card" for Julie from their bedroom—and returned with a ring. A year-long engagement meant plenty of time to plan, and the food at the wedding, by nature of Julie's blog, obviously took precedence. She tried three different caterers, held tastings with each, and ultimately landed on Better Events Catering, which prepared three main courses: chicken, seafood, and beef.
On April 27, 2013, friends and family gathered at Raspberry Plain in Leesburg, Virginia, for a rustic, elegant celebration. Julie wore a Pattis gown and carried a bouquet of fresias, roses, and hydrangeas. The intimate reception was filled with love, joy, and plenty of tasty treats; Michael Bublé's "Everything" was the song to which they danced their first dance as husband and wife.

Brother moved to Charleston
I am heading to Charleston next week to help my brother and sister in law with the landscaping of their new home and I am really out of my elements. Looking for suggestions for perennials that would be hardy, easy care but not too invasive. Also would love to experiment with some things that I cannot grow. Are Camelia's a good choice? What should I avoid? Thanks, diene
My advice is that you spend a couple of days evaluating the conditions on site for drainage, sunny and shady spots, etc......and then visiting some of the GREAT privately owned garden centers in the area to look at their displays and landscaping. Stay away from the big box stores.
Be sure to cross the bridge and visit Abide-Awhile in Mt. Pleasant. Fabulous place for inspiration. Hyams in Charleston is another good one. There are others, plenty of them. Don't be shy about telling the staff where you're from and that you need some real southern help.
Drive around and take pictures of what you like in the garden centers and in the neighborhood. If the neighborhood pictures are decent, you can have them identified at the garden centers or in the Name that Plant Forum here in the GardenWeb.
And yes, Camellias are a very traditional, iconic Charleston plant. Some of the oldest camellias in the country can be found on Middleton Plantation. They prefer a place with dappled or light shade.
I live in Charleston, SC. I agree with rhizo. There are a variety of exquisite ferns which grow well in shade or partial shade. And there is the iconic oleanders, which come in so many colors. You probably know about azaleas, bishop's cap, plumaria,and passionflower. There are so many here which are almost tropical. Do try to tour the gardens in the inner city to get ideas -- a stroll in the Battery neighborhood, on Church street, down the tiny alleys, etc. The city has special garden tours, also.

What would you most like to hear?
always torn between The Lonesome Crowded West and The Moon & Antarctica. This Is A Long Drive... is damn good too. Gotta go with TLCW for nostalgic reasons (one of the first great albums I ever heard).
P.S. Building Nothing Out Of Something, though a compilation, is A+ as well.
4/8 Drive Like Jehu @ The Glass House
5/1 Sleater-Kinney @ The Palladium
5/8 Stephin Merritt @ The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetary
6/4 The Mountain Goats @ Pappy & Harriets
I agree...almost a coin toss between moon and lonesome..
Moon, by far. "3rd Planet" and "Perfect Disguise" are just as good now as they were the first time I heard 'em. This is their classic album, and as good as LCW is, it just doesn't hold a candle.
2/24 - Swans = 2/26 - Corners = 3/1 - Sleater-Kinney = 3/8 - the Church = 3/16 - Swervedriver = 4/4 - Tobacco = 4/10-12 - Coachella 1
4/14 - Jenny Lewis = 4/15 - the War on Drugs = 4/17-19 - Coachella 2 = 4/21 - Protomartyr = 5/8-10 - Levitation Austin = 5/14 - the Antlers = 7/17-19 - Pitchfork
the perfect disguice remix from the deluxe Moon is sick as fuck.
edit - it was a bbc radio o1 session
i personally prefer the instrumentation on LCW. no denying Moon and Antarctica is a perfect record.
the lonesome crowded west is definitely by favorite album, by anyone, ever. it is perfect.
Building Nothing Out of Something
The Moon and Antarctica, for "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes", "A Different City" & "The Cold Part", but Johnny Marr made a great addition for We Were Dead...
