Relegated FA Cup winners Wigan end their eight-year stay in the top-flight with a 2-2 home draw against Aston Villa. Darren Bent's opening goal was cancelled out by Emmerson Boyce before Nathan Baker handed the Latics the lead on the stroke of half-time. But Villa skipper Ron Vlaar rescued a point on the hour mark with a stunning volley.
The ball falls to Roman Golobart after a scramble, but his chip falls onto the top of the goal.
Jordan Bowery heads the ball away for a corner as the board goes up with THREE added minutes of stoppage time.
The 20-year-old Campabadal is a former Barcelona youth player, so somebody to watch out for in the future.
Ashley Westwood is replaced by 20-year-old Gary Gardner, while Spaniard Eduard Campabadal has come on for Emmerson Boyce.
Shaun Maloney's free-kick is headed over the crossbar by Arouna Kone.
Angelo Henriquez is felled by Joe Bennett and the Villa full-back is suffering from a bit of cramp.
This game looks to be petering out into a draw, but you never know. We still have five minutes plus stoppage time as both teams plan further changes.
Emmerson Boyce is booked for taking out Simon Dawkins.
@rossbuet Tweets: "The result isn't important today, it's all about one man (Petrov)."
Simon Dawkins finds Andreas Weimann as Villa decide to take the sting out of the game.
OFF THE BAR! James McArthur strikes the woodwork with a lovely controlled volley from Roger Espinoza's deep cross.
Ashley Westwood wastes his free-kick, overhitting it.
Matt Lowton is brushed off the ball by Roger Espinoza and this is a good opportunity for Villa.
You'd think that if Wigan can keep the nucleus of this side, then they'll have a very good chance of making an immediate return to the top-flight.
Gabby Agbonlahor is replaced by 21-year-old Jordan Bowery, formerly of Chesterfield.
Ashley Westwood is clipped for a Villa free-kick about 35-yards out.
The flag is up on the far side with Bent standing in an offside position. Agbonlahor wasn't though and the ball was played to him, so he wasn't too happy with the decision.
Andreas Weimann loses his footing on the edge of the area and it's a Wigan goal-kick.
Simon Dawkins does well to win his side the free-kick and James McCarthy is booked for throwing the ball away.
It's a double change for Wigan! Jordi Gomez and Ben Watson are replaced by Angelo Henriquez and Fraser Fyvie. Young Scot Fyvie is just 20 and is making his Premier League debut, so good luck to the lad.
Gomez plays a really good pass to Kone, but the striker is offside by a couple of yards.
Angelo Henriquez and Fraser Fyvie are ready to make their bow at the DW Stadium.
Paul Scharner dives in with a timely interception as Villa win the throw deep in Latics' half of the field.
Suddenly, the game is really stretched with both teams going hammer and tongs at it.
STUNNING STRIKE: 'Concrete Ron' scores a wonderful equaliser! Joe Bennett's free-kick is taken down by the skipper before lashing his right-foot volley past Ali Al Habsi in an instant.
Simon Dawkins replaces Yacouba Sylla as Paul Lambert makes his first change of the match.
OFF THE BAR!! Roger Espinoza's cross is met by Emmerson Boyce, whose first effort is blocked by Joe Bennett, but his second flicks the top off the crossbar.
Arouna Kone is felled by Nathan Baker, who has had a difficult day at the back culminating in that unfortunate own goal.
Villa break through Agbonlahor, but in the end Ashley Westwood's ball into the box is cut out.
BEACH BALL ALERT! There was a beach ball which kept rolling onto the pitch in the Villa box and Guzan made sure he burst it. We've seen that happen at Sunderland before haven't we!
Really good spell of possession by Wigan comes to an end when Jordi Gomez's shot deflects off Kone and away for a goal-kick.
Roberto Martinez's cup winners are enjoying some neat possession football at the moment.
POOR DEFENDING! Yet more rank defending from Villa as Ron Vlaar's wayward header falls into the path of James McCarthy, but he overruns the ball and that allows Guzan to come and collect.
@RyanDavies_1 Tweets: "4-1 Wigan!!"
At the other end, Ben Watson's low drive is well handled by Brad Guzan.
Andreas Weimann's ball to Bent is missed by Roger Espinoza, but the hosts get away with it.
The second half is underway at a sunny DW Stadium and they immediately try and cut through the Wigan backline, but Andreas Weimann's stubs his boot into the ground as he went to shot.
If you'd like to air your views during the second half, email Raz...that's me! at firstname.lastname@example.com or Tweet me: @RazMirza and I'll publish as many as I can.
Wigan are 4/11 to claim victory with our friends @Skybet, who make Aston Villa 8/1 and the draw 3/1. Villa are unbeaten in their last six Premier League visits to Wigan, winning four and drawing two. Villa to win 3-2 is a 12/1 shot. Well worth a flutter in my book! Right-click here SKYBET and open in a new tab to place your bets on this match while keeping an eye on the action with me.
Relegated Wigan lead Aston Villa 2-1 at the break. Darren Bent opened the scoring with his first Premier League goal since September. But, the FA Cup winners hit back thanks to a firm header from right-back Emmerson Boyce and then an unfortunate own goal on the stroke of half-time from Nathan Baker, although some of the defending left a lot to be desired.
DISASTROUS DEFENDING: Shaun Maloney's cross causes havoc in the box. The ball falls kindly into the path of Ben Watson whose low drive is cleared off the line by Ashley Westwood but the ball hits Baker and and flies into the back of the net for an unfortunate own goal.
James McArthur finds Roger Espinoza and his cross is deflected away for a corner.
There will be an additional THREE added minutes of stoppage time.
Peter in Sheffield says: "As a Villa fan I'd love to see them win. But more generally: the spirit that both Villa and Wigan have shown over the last few weeks has been truly commendable. Both teams have seen every game as a cup final and its a shame not to see them both stay up... be it Villa higher up the table!"
Gabby Agbonlahor skips past Roger Espinoza down the right but his fierce drive across the face of goal just misses Darren Bent in the middle.
Jordi Gomez whips in his left-footed cross, but Darren Bent does well to steer it away.
Matthew Lowton is booked for bringing down Roman Golobart.
COMFORTABLE! Shaun Maloney's toe-pokes his curler over the wall, but Brad Guzan is quickly across to hold the ball.
Yacouba Sylla brings down Shaun Maloney on the edge of the box and this really is his territory.
The boys in claret and blue keep possession well deep in Wigan territory. Ali Al Habsi handles well from Ashley Westwood's cross.
Ashley Westwood's free-kick is dinked into the box, but Emmerson Boyce does well to clear away for a corner.
CHANCE! Wigan break in numbers, but Arouna Kone square ball is very poor and that allows Brad Guzan is out like a flash to collect.
Darren Bent picks out Gabby Agbonlahor who gets away from Paul Scharner, but sadly for him, the ball runs away and into the grateful hands of Ali Al Habsi.
The ball is teed-up for Delph who smacks his shot against Roger Espinoza and that allows Arouna Kone to break away, but with players in support he opts to have a pop at goal, and once again he misses the target by a mile.
Matthew Lowton is clipped by Ben Watson on the left-hand edge of the Wigan box and this is dangerous.
Ryan Crowder-Barr emails in to say: "Reading the commentry on ipod (Sky Sports App) and reckon Villa will win 3-1. Hoping Norwich will also win but not likely."
Arouna Kone sets up Jordi Gomez just outside the area, but his effort is still rising.
Villa fan John Postlethwaite says: "Once again the defense lets us down!"
Ben Watson loses the ball and that allows Fabian Delph to bring his side forward as Christian Benteke - 19 Premier League goals - watches on from the stands.
Fabian Delph finds Ashley Westwood, but his long ball is headed away by Roman Golobart.
Roberto Martinez's side are keeping the ball at the back and serching for another opening here.
The Latics have been comfortable on the ball, keeping good possession and you would have to say that they deserved that equaliser.
CAPTAIN'S GOAL! Skipper for the day and the club's longest serving player Boyce heads Wigan level. Shaun Maloney found Roger Espinoza out wide and his left-footed cross was met at the back post by the 33-year-old right-back.
A superb round of applause for Stan Petrov from the 4,000 visiting fans.
Daniel Boyle emails in to say: "Darren Bent with a finish reminiscent of the might Emile Heskey. Still not as good as Marlon King though."
EMAILS & TWEETS: Don't forget, you can send me your views throughout this final game of the season. Email Raz...that's me! at email@example.com or Tweet me: @RazMirza and I'll publish as many as I can.
At the other end, Ashley Westwood's corner-kick is flicked over the crossbar by Darren Bent.
GOOD CHALLENGE! Shaun Maloney finds Arouna Kone in the box, but Nathan Baker gets back to make an important challenge.
APPEALS FOR HANDBALL! Rather from the fans than the players mind as Jordi Gomez's pass hit Ron Vlaar in the box.
The visiting fans are in superb voice this afternoon as they celebrate 'Stan Petrov Day' with 4,000 masks in support of Cure Leukaemia.
Arouna Kone looks to break forward but goalkeeper Brad Guzan is out like a shot to claim the loose ball.
Jordan Else is back in touch to say: "Yes! Darren Bent is better than Benteke already."
Villa have won five of their previous nine games and just shows how much progress they've made under manager Paul Lambert.
There was a lengthy stoppage after the goal because a flare was thrown on the pitch at the Villa end.
LOOK WHO'S SCORED! Yep, Bent has opened the scoring at the DW Stadium with a lethal finish. Yacouba Sylla's delicious through ball is taken on by the striker who calmy opens up the space on the edge of the box before firing his low right-foot drive past Ali Al Habsi and into the bottom left-hand corner.
Cian Hughes - a regular fan of mine writes in to say: "Hey mate, so sad to see the last games of the PL today, and so many legends retire, Aston Villa have been class in their last few games (bar Chelsea), I think they'll be able to handle Wigan to be hnest, 2-1 Villa! :)"
GOOD SAVE! Joe Bennett's left-foot curler is palmed away to safety by Ali Al Habsi.
Roman Golobart brings down Gabby Agbonlahor just outside the box and this is an early opportunity for the visitors.
Wigan look have set-up in a 3-4-2-1 formation while Villa have gone for a 4-2-3-1 with Gabby Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann supporting Darren Bent.
The pre-match atmosphere has been amazing at the DW Stadium with the FA Cup being paraded. The stadium in packed and the flags are out. Villa, wearing their claret and blue kit, get the game underway. The Latics are wearing their all-blue number.
And Jordan Else says: "Hey Raz, great to see Bent being given a chance, I was thinking Lambert would play Agbonlahor or Weimann in Attack and bring in N'Zogbia but he has done the right thing, would of liked to see Bannan and Gardner playing today to give them a chance, but with the team we have out today I think we should win with at least 4 goals being scored."
Conor Donnelly - Wigan Fan From Belfast says: "Interesting to see none of the out of contract players not starting today, chuffed for Golobart getting another start!...Last week at the FA Cup Final it was the best day of my life and wouldn't change it for anything. But all we have to do today is play for pride....We Will Be Back....C'mon Latics!!!!!"
Villa fans Jamie emails in to say: "I'm hoping to see Darren Bent given a start today, think it would be a harsh kick in the teeth for him if not, and he deserves to be given a chance. Also think it would be nice to see forgotten man Dawkins given a start as well."
@pressuredtojoin Tweets: "Great young Villa side led by Lambert,but a couple of experienced heads wouldn't go a miss. Losing Petrov was a big blow this year."
@Donnelly2009 Tweets: "Afternoon, interesting to see none of the out of contract players not starting today, chuffed for Golobart getting another start!"
@NickHeywood87 says: "Sat at home ill today but will be cheering for the boys today and a sad farewell to Stan."
@AlexBullions is first to Tweet me this afternoon. "Although they want to avenge their relegation, Wigan will lose 1-0 to Villa today."
Wigan are Even money to claim victory with our friends @Skybet, who make Aston Villa 11/4 and the draw 13/5. Arouna Kone is the favourite to open the scoring while Darren Bent, who could be handed a first start since January, is on offer at 13/2 to take the most of the opportunity and break the deadlock. Villa to win 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 is a 11/1 shout while Wigan to win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 is 5/2. The Latics are joint sixth favourites at 4/1 in next season's Championship promotion odds. Villa are unbeaten in their last six Premier League visits to Wigan, winning four and drawing two so I'm hedging my bets and going for an away win thisafternoon - 1-2, which is priced at 10/1. Well worth a flutter in my book! Right-click here SKYBET and open in a new tab to place your bets on this match while keeping an eye on the action with me.
WIGAN TEAM NEWS: Ali Al-Habsi starts in goal for the Latics with Joel dropping to the substitutes' bench. Elsewhere, defender Roman Golobart and FA Cup winning goalscorer Ben Watson are in the starting line-up. Winger Callum McManaman has been ruled out of England's European Under-21 Championship campaign with an ankle injury picked up in their midweek defeat at Arsenal.
VILLA TEAM NEWS: Villa have made two changes to their side which lost 2-1 at home to Chelsea last weekend. Full-back Matt Lowton comes in for Eric Lichaj after recovering from a thigh injury while Darren Bent replaces the suspended top-scorer Christian Benteke. The striker has made just seven starts in the Premier League this season after his £24m club record-breaking move from Sunderland. This is his first start since January! Meanwhile, Chris Herd is on the bench after being out injured for several months.
WIGAN: Al Habsi, Watson, Boyce, McCarthy, Espinoza, Golobart, Scharner, Maloney, McArthur, Gomez, Kone.
SUBSTITUTES: Robles, Henriquez, Mustoe, Redmond, Campabadal, Di Santo, Fyvie.
ASTON VILLA: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, Sylla, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Bent.
SUBSTITUTES: Given, El Ahmadi, Dawkins, Gardner, Bowery, N'Zogbia, Herd.
REFEREE: Neil Swarbrick (Lancashire) Matches: 17, Reds 0 Yellows 58.
Here come the teams...
Roberto Martinez is trying not to look too far ahead after his side were relegated from the Premier League after a 4-1 defeat at Arsenal in midweek. Things might have been so different for the FA Cup winners had they won at the Emirates Stadium because there could have been so much riding on this clash. Now it's all ifs and buts and the Spaniard will sit down with chairman Dave Whelan next week to discuss where the club go from here and possibly his own future. "Sometimes when a club is relegated, it brings chaos, but this is the best we have ever been. At the moment, it's not my priority. My priority is to prepare well for the game and make sure we have a really good time with the fans. On Monday we will celebrate with the FA Cup around the town. Then we will need a few days before sitting down with the chairman next week to decide what's best for Wigan Athletic to move forward." Martinez has been heavily linked with the vacancy at Everton and his four years in the DW Stadium hotseat may be up. What are your thoughts Latics' fans? Email Raz...that's me! at email@example.com or Tweet me: @RazMirza and I'll publish as many as I can.
This could have been the relegation showdown decider had Wigan defeated Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in midweek, but instead the FA Cup winners will be bidding farewell to the Premier League this afternoon after an eight-year stay. Meanwhile, Villa fans will be celebrating 'Stan Petrov Day' with 4,000 masks for the charity Cure Leukaemia.
Hello and welcome to our live minute-by-minute text commentary of this Premier League clash between relegated Wigan and Aston Villa from the DW Stadium.

|7 nights
Welcome to our tropical hideaway in a private garden. The White House lies just down an oleander lined path to the beautiful beach at Spring Bay. The Living and Dining Room greet guests with warmth and charm. View the ocean as you enter, or have your dinner outside on a covered porch. Two bedrooms and a bath are located in this part of the house. There are no more than three or four stairs accessing all rooms of this lovely ranch home, making it ideal for those with mobility challenges, or families with small children. You may enjoy a little television in another sitting area beside the kitchen. The kitchen is newly remodeled with the comforts of home. The Master Suite is located a doorway from the courtyard and pool. A covered stone porch, with a swing, captures breezes on some of the hottest days of summer. An outside stairwell leads to a crow's nest on the roof. Catch a nap in the hammock you find there, or just enjoy the view! We hope you enjoy the White House, making it your home away from home, for years to come.
We bought this property for the natural beauty and privacy. Virgin Gorda has a very low crime rate, and sweet, hospitable people. Our home has cistern and city water availability as well as an automatic generator in the event of loss of power or water.
You can get away from all worries and relax.
The White House At Spring Bay is a relaxing paradise. With the magnificent Spring Bay just an easy minute walk , I enjoyed the beach with magnificent huge boulders and gorgeous blue green water. The pool at the house affords an opportunity to lounge in the water on a float or sit poolside. I loved eating lunch on the front patio with a view of the bay, and sitting in the house with the warm breezes fanning me. The air conditioned bedrooms gave me a cool place to sleep. I even cooked dinner one night in the well equipped kitchen so that I could try some of the local vegetables that aren't in the United States. The house looks exactly like the photos so there are no surprises. Nearby there are many restaurants that are a quick easy drive. The only problem was that I had to leave paradise. If you want a wonderful location and house during your stay in Virgin Gorda, stay at the White House at Spring Bay.
How could you stay in a more serene spot? Looking out at a calm ocean at daybreak the bay is completely vacant. An hour later the moorings are filled and beachgoers are enjoying all manner of sea pleasures. I had seen BVI posters showing "the bathes" but had no idea what that ment. This is a natural boulder formation that has to be experienced. I had heard even wedding cermonies had taken place within. I can believe it.
The "White House" is in a perfect location with a easygoing interior. I envy its owners! They had a great eye when they made this selection. While we were only there a week, much non-work was accomplished. I consider the money we spent a high return investment in peace of mind. We both needed to take a breath and step back to see what really in our lives was inportant. The trip last month to BVI let us do that while occupying this incredible house on Virgin Gorda. We expect to return again to the "White House" when the chance presents itself.
I hope others will get to have this same opportunityand experience the same result!
If you're looking to get away from it all, with space to relax, read a book, take a nap, a dip in the pool or a stroll on the beach a short walk away; then this is the place for you.
Secluded and private, this island oasis is elegant, comfortable and feels like home. My family and I stayed there for a week. We were very happy with the accommodations and found the island very enjoyable. There are plenty of activities near by and short drive away; to include scuba diving, snorkeling the Baths, sailing and island hopping. We plan to make this our annual family holiday locale with no regrets and gets a 5-star rating in our book. Enjoy!!!
The White House is located about a hundred steps from beautiful Spring Bay. The crystal waters and beautiful beach provide a relaxing way to spend a day of sunning, swimming or snorkeling. The Baths are also just a short walk away. Giant boulders form tidal pools which make for a good morning's outing. Go up to the Top of the Baths restaurant and bar for a nice lunch or an afternoon snack and beverage. Catch a great sunset at the end of the day! Diving and snorkeling trips can be booked daily by Dive BVI. The Caribbean reefs abound with sealife! Little Dix Bay Resort and Spa are just about a mile from the front door of the White House. Reservations are required for non-hotel guests. The Spa services and the food in the Pavilion and Beach Grill are worth the wait! Coco Maya is a beautiful beachfront restaurant. Chez Bamboo is very popular for dinner. Our favorite island pub is the Mine Shaft, featuring miniature golf for the children and some of the best sunsets on the island! Drive to the the North Sound to view scenic panoramas. The Sugar Cane is on the way, located at Nail Bay. Their chef prepares culinary delights daily.

From a company's cash flow to its management team, investors have plenty of things to chew on as they try to figure out if a stock could turn into a big winner.
Exclusive SeriesUnderstanding the CAN SLIM Investing System: C A N S L I M
It can feel like too much to digest — like a meal with huge portions and way too many courses.
View Enlarged Image
And it gives rise to a simple question: With so much information to consider, which aspect is the most important?
Current quarterly profit is the most critical, according to IBD's research.
More than any other factor, strong growth in earnings per share is what has defined market leaders ahead of their big advances.
For that reason, the very first rule in IBD's investing strategy has to do with profit. The C in CAN SLIM — as the strategy is called — stands for current quarterly earnings per share.
This Investor's Corner column is highlighting the C in CAN SLIM. It's the first of seven columns that will run from today through IBD's Sept. 7 edition.
Each column will look at one aspect of CAN SLIM, starting with C and ending with M. You could think of this series of columns as an easy-to-digest introduction to seven key characteristics of winning stocks.
Set A Threshold Of 25% Growth
IBD recommends looking for a per-share profit gain of at least 25% in the latest quarter.
Remember to compare the most recent EPS figure with the result for the year-ago quarter, so that you're getting an apples-to-apples comparison and avoiding distortions from seasonality.
Keep in mind that highly successful firms often post explosive gains in profit, meaning increases of much more than 25%.
For example, Dell's (DELL) EPS jumped 74% and 108% in the two quarters before the PC maker's huge advance that started in November 1996.
The 25% guideline is backed up by research into the 600 best-performing stocks from 1952 to 2001. IBD found that three out of every four such stocks boosted earnings by more than 70% in the most recent quarter before their big run-ups.
Beyond strong EPS growth, you also want to see an acceleration in EPS gains. In this context, acceleration can be a confusing concept, so here's a straightforward example.
Say a company's EPS rose 25% in the year's first quarter vs. the year-ago figure, then 50% in the second quarter and 80% in the third quarter. That's exactly what's meant by acceleration in EPS growth.
In your search for winning stocks, one of the first things you should look at is a company's current quarterly earnings growth. This is the 'C' in IBD's CAN SLIM investment methodology . Top-notch profit growth is one of the most important traits in stock market winners. As noted in "How To Make ...
As the eurozone awaits a key announcement from the European Central Bank, and as the dollar caps its powerful third-quarter advance vs. the euro, Ireland's economy this month reported its Q2 GDP surged 7.7% — its best performance since 2007. The gain was impressive. But Ireland's former ...
Three of the most powerful follow-throughs in recent times occurred in 1990, 1998 and 2010. Two of them — on Sept. 1, 1990, and Oct. 15, 1998 — came during periods of financial turmoil or economic weakness. The success of those follow-throughs shows why it's important to tune out ...
Data storage startups aim to take market share from Dell's (DELL) Compellent subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and NetApp (NTAP), but they generally view EMC (EMC) as a tougher target, says Piper Jaffray. Analyst Andrew Nowinski, who rates EMC stock overweight, in a research report Thursday says he ...
Investor's Business Daily provides exclusive stock lists, investing data, stock market research, education and the latest financial and business news to help investors make more money in the stock market. All of IBD's products and features are based on the CAN SLIM® Investing System developed by IBD's Founder William J. O'Neil, who identified the seven common characteristics that winning stocks display before making huge price gains. Each letter of CAN SLIM represents one of those traits.

A new base village and a growing emphasis on steep, powder-stuffed glades have made Sugarbush one of Vermont's top resorts. The ski area offers 111 trails, served by 16 lifts, spread across three peaks, each with its own distinct flavor. For manicured steeps and fat bumps, hit Lincoln Peak. For no-bullshit, rowdy terrain, schralp Castlerock. For underutilized glades and meandering cruisers, there's always Mount Ellen. Here's how to make the most of all three.

Hi Burts here. If you have a Playstation 3, chances are good that you're already familiar with the God of War series. This series of console exclusives is one of the staples of the Sony line-up, where leading man Kratos stands as one of the most iconic leading dudes in gaming. Having wrapped up his journey of revenge in 2010's God of War 3, Sony turns the clock backwards with God of War: Ascension, delivering a prequel tale that gives gamers a look into how Kratos began his trek.

text: Alaskans See No Scandal in Palin's Routine Travel Reimbursements Wednesday, September 10, 2008 By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor (CNSNews.com) – The Washington Post on Tuesday ran a front-page story about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin receiving $16,951 in travel reimbursements, including a per diem travel allowance for members of her family, and for sometimes staying in her home as part of official business. But Alaskans who follow politics told CNSNews.com that such action is standard practice. The Post reported Tuesday that Palin "billed taxpayers for 312 nights 'spent in her own home' during her first 19 months in office," charging the state a travel allowance – called a "per diem" – intended to cover meals, airfare, lodging, and incidental expenses while traveling on state business. The Post noted that the governor also has charged the state for travel expenses to take her children on official out-of-town trips. And her husband, Todd, has billed the state for expenses and a daily allowance for trips he makes on official business for his wife. Palin's spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow, said the reimbursements were within the law, and commonplace. Other Alaskans who follow politics in the nation's northern-most state, agreed. In fact, the state's senior political scientist bristled at the idea that Palin has done anything wrong. Gerald McBeath, professor of political science at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and an expert on Alaska government and politics, rejected what he said was The Post's clear – but unstated – implication: that Palin somehow bilked taxpayers. McBeath said he doesn't know the governor well – he's met her – but she has every right, he said, under state travel policy to claim reimbursement, a policy that has been around "forever." "The state, or wherever you work, pays for your air ticket, and pays a per diem, and that's it. It's very simple," McBeath said. Like the legendary Alaskan grizzly bear, McBeath became testy when asked about the travel reimbursements. He told CNSNews.com that he's had over 100 phone calls from journalists trying to get dirt on Palin. "I have to be suspicious about your questions," McBeath said. "What are you looking for? Are you implying that the governor has been unethical in her travel and not followed procedures?" When CNSNews.com replied that the intent was simply to find out if such reimbursements were normal practice, McBeath's response was matter-of-fact. "The state's practices are like that of most states," McBeath said. "People are compensated for their travel costs. That includes the airfare or car fare, and (the state) pays them whatever it costs to keep them alive on the days that they are away from their official station. That's normal." The distance between Anchorage – the state's largest town and the site of a state office building where Palin maintains an office and works – and Juneau, the capital, is nearly 600 miles one way. That is roughly the same as the distance between Washington, D.C. and Lansing, Mich. McBeath said Juneau is not accessible by car – only by sea and by air. Anchorage, meanwhile, is but 45 miles away from Wasilla, Palin's home town. "When I go from Fairbanks, I fly to Anchorage, and then to Juneau, and whoever is supporting my trip pays for the airfare and gives me a per diem rate," said McBeath. "That's what the governor gets. That's what we all get." Dermot Cole, a columnist with the Fairbanks News-Miner newspaper, told CNSNews.com that one reason why this might be an issue – especially for Palin opponents – is because Palin has chosen not to live in the governor's mansion in Juneau. "Previous governors have lived in Juneau, or at least spent most of their time in Juneau," Cole said. "She's the first governor who has divided her time in this way. Most governors have traveled a lot, but for the duration of their term, they've made Juneau their home base. She's been subject to some criticism down there for not being in Juneau enough." Alaska has a governor's house, not really a mansion, Cole said, but Palin and her family "have not stayed there very much." Juneau, meanwhile, is the official "duty station" for the governor's office, and staying outside the capital entitles the governor to receive compensation. http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=35409

When asked why he left college to pursue a full-time music career, Cloud Nothings brainchild Dylan Baldi explained, "I wanted a reason to leave college." First launching Cloud Nothings as a one-man lo-fi hobby in 2009, Baldi has already released three albums of hooky punk songs to much critical acclaim, despite the fact that he's only 20 years old. (When I was 20, I spent my days pantslessly watching The Steve Wilkos Show. I still do this, but nevertheless ... ) Now backed by a full band, Baldi's Cloud Nothings have matured and darkened their sound on Attack On Memory, their short and sweet latest. Featuring producer Steve Albini's patented drum sounds, Baldi's raw vocals and smart songwriting, Attack On Memory gives a modern spin on '90s emo and Nada Surf album tracks, as well as liberating the evolving group from the short life span that imprisons most stagnate "blog rock" bands.

Dismounts if mounted, stealths if not stealthed, then does a Shadowstep to Ambush. Cheapshot follows in case Ambush misses (it could happen depending on hit chance). Part of the reason I love this so much is that it works from the air -- you can be 100 feet above someone and as long as they don't run out of range while you fall towards them, you appear behind them and take no fall damage (it's also great for tagging mobs around unsuspecting campers).

Charlie Sheen blasted his former manager, Mark Burg, in a long Twitter rant calling him a "2 dollar wh*re traitor" and a "desperate piece of slime shite" — later deleting the outrageous diatribe, but not before RadarOnline.com exclusively snapped a screen grab.
In the message originally posted on Jan. 8, Sheen directed his message to "Mark blurg!" and even challenged his once-trusted associate to come to his home to settle the beef between them.
As Radar exclusively reported in Dec., Burg — along with publicist Larry Solters and entertainment lawyer Jake Bloom — resigned from their posts on Sheen's team because they were "unable to work effectively for Charlie."
"The bottom line was that Mark, Larry and Jake were unable to work effectively for Charlie," the insider told Radar.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Dirtiest Divorces
"He is too much of a loose cannon at the moment with his increasingly erratic and bizarre behavior and outrageous statements. He was refusing to listen to their advice and counsel."
Loose cannon indeed, as verified by the rant against Burg below:
Sheen, 48, insists he dumped the trio of associates, but Radar learned the sensational spat between Burg and theAnger Management star was spurred by his relationship with porn star and girlfriend Brett Rossi.
This isn't the first time Burg and Sheen have come to heads: Most notably during Sheen's epic 2011 meltdown which saw him lose his multi-million dollar job on Two and a Half Men.
Charlie Sheen's Ex-Wife Brooke Mueller's Drug Binge Caught On Camera
At the time, Sheen's ex, Brooke Mueller, claimed he sent her a scathing, anti-Semitic text about Burg, saying: "I must execute mark b [Mark Burg] like the stoopid jew pig that he is."

Nice to keep on hand
posted 7 years ago
This is great to keep on hand for sore eyes from exposure to dust or other irritants. It does not however treat infected eyes. It is similar to using a dry eye drop for humans. Soothes but does not cure.
Pros: Soothing
Cons: Does not treat infection

HOUSTON -- The Bush family is the latest victim of e-mail hackers, according to a report on the website The Smoking Gun.
Hackers posted private photos allegedly stolen from a Bush family member'se-mail account, including a photo of former president George H. W. Bush in the hospital. Also in the hacked material is a confidential list of family members home addresses, cell phone numbers, and even access gate codes to get onthe president s property.
The leaked photos all carry a watermark with the alleged hacker s online name.
Reached on her cell phone, daughter Dorothy Bush said she was unaware that her account was hacked. Why would someone do this? asked the 53-year-old Bush, reported The Smoking Gun.
A spokesman for former President George H.W. Bush confirmed that an investigation was underway but declined further comment.
We do not comment on matters under criminal investigation, spokesman Jim McGrath told the Houston Chronicle.
Along with photos, personal e-mails between the Bush siblings were also leaked. One e-mail came from former President George W. Bush, asking his brothers and sister for personal stories and jokes that he could use as he was thinking about a eulogy for his father, who was in a Houston hospital at the time.George W.also said he hoped he was jumping the gun.
The Secret Service is investigating the crime.
The hacker told The Smoking Gun the feds have been investigating him for a long time and he s already hacked hundreds of accounts without getting caught.

Abilities First Preschool Transforms Lives of Special Needs Children With Cutting Edge Technology
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, and a variety of other developmental disabilities are making tremendous gains with the use of the right technology at Abilities First Preschool in the Hudson Valley region of New York State.
Wappingers Falls, New York (PRWEB) March 28, 2013
When Abilities First opened its Little Red Schoolhouse back in 1962, little did anyone know that education would one day be transformed by technology, particularly for children with special needs.
Recently, Abilities First, which now serves over 1100 individuals with disabilities throughout the mid-Hudson Valley region and has educational programs from Red Hook to Beacon, began to use H@tch computer systems for their young preschool students. By providing a fully interactive learning experience for children with a variety of processing disorders which may impact speech and communication, sensory input, learning, and movement, H@tch systems have become a successful solution for special needs schools. Because the systems are designed to assess exactly what each child already knows and understands, and are based upon maximizing a total of eighteen core skill areas, teachers and therapists are better able to address any deficits and parents report better outcomes. The touchscreen computer by iStartSmart is not only accurate in providing the progress data necessary to giving a child the greatest chances for success, but it is fun and enjoyable for the children.
"Through the use of fun and educational games and activities, children can work independently on eighteen skill areas, al of which are aligned with Early Learning Standards. Children must demonstrate competency in one area before moving to another, and the teachers can monitor and view detailed progress reports at any time", shares Leann Coyle, Director of Abilities First Preschool. "Lesson plans can be developed around specific skill areas and with specific groups of children. And the children are delighted with the experience; in just a short amount of time they have declared that the interactive stories are their favorite part of the system".
Abilities First New York provides educational, vocational, and residential services for individuals with disabilities throughout the life span. They recently received accreditation through CQL for person-centered care, and have been tireless advocates in New York State for their program participants in light of proposed budget cuts. For more information, please call 845.485.9803.

Hello all and thank you for your time. been doing this for a while and i cannot figure out what im doing wrong. hopefully someone can help me figure out what i missed. I was odin'ing back to try and fix a LTE modem issue. followed the sticky guide like i did originally to root. first wiped everything, then odin MDK (never OTA'd), flash MD2 kernel, ticked appropriate boxes, updated super su and binary, checked root with TBU, odin'ed MDK kernel, then flashed with rom manager CWM. root was granted at the respected times. everything seems right until i boot into recovery and the screen goes to the stock recovery and the android man has a red exclamation mark. the recovery is usable but it does not help me much..
thanks for the time and suggestions.
take care.

CBS' James Brown Gives Thought-Provoking Speech on Domestic Violence [VIDEO]
The issue of domestic violence is front and center, thanks to the Ray Rice controversy and the way the NFL handled the matter.
The issue of domestic violence is front and center, thanks to the Ray Rice controversy and the way the NFL handled the matter.
Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes to Owen Daniels, and the Ravens manhandled the Pittsburgh Steelers, 26-6, in Baltimore on Thursday night.
If you think it takes effort to get a teenager off a cell phone, you have no idea how right you are. Earlier this month, three campus police officers wrestled a 15-year-old girl to the ground to take her phone, with one jamming his knee into her head.
Already no stranger to controversy, Mike Tyson is stirring the pot once again.
Tonight President Obama took to the national airwaves for a rare prime-time address to describe what America's response would be to the Islamic State (aka ISIL or ISIS), the terrorist group that has taken over parts of Syria and Iraq, and also beheaded two American journalists.
Have you ever woken up and had no idea where you were, what time it was or even what day? It happens to more people than you might think.
Another full slate of games are on tap for football fans this week, but only a few are marquee matchups. Here's what you need to know heading into Week 2.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin may be a good basketball player, but he's an even better joker.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell continues to stand by his claim no one from the league saw the video of Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancee, Janay Palmer (now his wife, Janay Rice).
The Ray Rice scandal has once again put the issue of domestic at the forefront of the American consciousness. Apparently, DiGiorno Pizza wanted to take part in the conversation, too.
It's a far, far cry from the drama surrounding Ray Rice, but another NFL running back is having his own issues.
The Ray Rice controversy is the hot button issue of the moment, not just in the sports world, but in the American consciousness.

Let Teens Sleep In: The Push For Later School Start Times
Tuesday, September 02, 2014
Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) officially took a stance on later school start times, calling chronic drowsiness in teens a public health issue and advocating for middle and high schools to start no earlier than 8:30 am. Dr. Cora Breuner, professor of pediatrics and adolescent medicine at Seattle Children's Hospital, member of the Committee on Adolescents for the AAP, and an author of the recent AAP announcement explains the AAP's reasoning.
Dr. Cora Breuner says it is possible to appeal directly to a school - with a note from a doctor - for a later start time for a student.

Comments [15]
We've been using teenage apprentices in the construction industry for hundreds of years - they get to work at 6 30 AM ready to start work at 7 just like the grown folks do.
The Army and the Marines have teenage troops that are up at 4 30 and in formation by 5
Farm kids keep those hours too.
We need to stop mollycoddling our kids!
Grade school for me started at 8:30 and I believe the same for H.S. In grade school I had to walk 8 blocks (no buses) and for H.S. I had to take public transit. We all managed to be awake for classes. Of course you will have 1 or 2 kids who are not motivated to get to school on time. My son was one of them even though he went to bed on time.(This was before internet/cell phones. One should get used to these hours since most work day schedules for working adults are these same hours. My son's HS principal back in the mid 80's told us in May, IF he shows up in class from then till June, he'll graduate. What kind of motivation is that for getting a diploma. It's no incentive to do well in class. JUST SHOW UP?
There is a real problem of adults having sleep disorders..so why not teenagers? Adults with sleep disorders are usually advised to turn off
appliances like the TV, the smart phone,etc. If I'm remembering correctly the light emitted by these devices say to the human brain: its daytime! & throw off the brain's ability to say its bedtime & time to sleep.
One of the effects of overuse of these devices also includes mega-couch potato status.
How about a study that compares teenagers who use these devices whenever to whatever hour while in couch potato mode to teenagers who do not &/or in restrained manner & physically exercise also restrained.
In my town, the HS starts @ 7:20, while the six Elementary schools have staggered starts (for bussing reasons) closer to 9 am, with the Middle School starting in between. I have always thought this should be reversed as the younger ones are able to get up earlier, while the older ones need the sleep and are more able to get themselves off on their own. I had a terrible time getting my three sons up during their HS years.
It would also seem that earlier elementary school start times would be better for working parents who now might be able to drop the children off at school before going to work rather than trying to hire someone to cover that one hour of morning time. It's much easier to fine after-school care than before-school care.
As for HS sports, let the kids who are motivated to participate get up early for their sport. I also think that High Schools should make an attempt to schedule the "heavier" classes later in the day so that the kids are more awake for them, or at least so that if they oversleep (like mine did OFTEN) they don't miss the more important subjects.
When I was in high school in the late 60s, my mother finally made a command decision to let me sleep in an extra hour and drove me to school for 2nd period at about 9am. First period for all of us was an hour of homeroom where we were supposed to have a quiet time for reading or homework, so it was not an essential for me. I was one of the top three students in a very large high school so my school work hadn't suffered from the lack of sleep, but I was completely exhausted all the time. This extra hour helped enormously!
It will be two days after the apocalypse and we'll still be talking about adjusting the schools. Oh, well.
Countries like China, South Korea, & France start their school days inline w/ours & still outperfom us. I don't think it's a solution, but do feel it's worth trying as the status quo isn't working. http://www.infoplease.com/world/statistics/school-years.html
The sports argument is a red herring. It's about cutting costs for bussing and having the older ones home to watch the younger ones. After care is probably $240/mo per child (on average).
When I was in high school, '71-'75, school day was 8:20-2:40. A ninth period from 2:45-3:25, sports from 3:30-6:00. I had to walk to school.
My son (Class of 2010) had to be at the bus stop 6:45 for a 7:20 start time. Hogwash!
Interestingly, my grammar school (across the street from the high school) started at 8:15. That school was closed (supposedly as school system integration) and my new school day did not start until 9:10. I walked to that school, too.
The heavy prevalence of school bussing is also an issue. The wasted time and potential would more than pay itself back.
folks it's not just about blood flow and better sleep,physical activity also helps to synchronize our cerebral hemispheres. can we please have a 21st Century discussion,here?!
How about having sports in the morning before school?
When I was growing up in Canada, our classes started right before 9. The extra 30 mins made all the difference.
These recommendations appear to presume that high school (and middle school) kids have a regular bedtime, which I don't think is common at all.
My experience is that many high school students stay up way past midnight, and even those who "go to bed" actually stay up later, texting their friends and using social media.
There's no shortage of parents who complain that their kid doesn't get to bed before 2am because of homework, when in fact, that kid's time after school and up till bedtime is just poorly managed.
What if school scheduled things like gym early, and required kids to get actual aerobic activity? This could set healthy patterns later in life.
I can't stand hearing people say that they are not 'morning people" because if you ask, they almost always tell you that they stay up late, and, even if it's 2am, their bedtimes are not regular.
There is tremendous parental denial about their kids' habits and behaviors when it comes to sleep and homework.
Take the cars away from tired teens
Offer naps.
to Susan:
As a high school English teacher I know that serious works of literature require students to do serious reading on their own. Other subjects also need some independent work if students are to learn. How can that be accomplished with the homework constraints you recommend?
In addition to letting them sleep later, don't assign more homework than 10-minutes per grade. In high school that would be 90 minutes in 9th grade, maxing out at two hours in twelfth grade. A meta-analysis of homework research by Duke Univ.'s Harris Cooper found that anything over this amount did not improve academic outcomes anyway. Let them have an after-school life, and let them sleep!

I am a party worker and public servant not a leader: Minister
'Congress keenly observing political situation
in each State'
MYSORE: Union Minister of State for Planning M.V. Rajasekharan on Sunday spiked rumours that he would be the likely candidate for the post of Chief Minister in case Janata Dal (Secular) struck an alliance again with Congress in the State. "I am a loyal party worker and public servant not a leader," he said.
Even as the date (October 3) for transfer of power in the coalition Government is fast approaching, Mr. Rajasekharan's hour-long meeting with Janata Dal (S) leader H.D. Deve Gowda has created ripples in political circles, especially among the leaders of the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
Addressing presspersons, Mr. Rajasekharan, who was here to participate in the valedictory function of the centenary celebrations of the cooperative movement, made it clear that there was no need to attach special importance to his meeting with Mr. Gowda.
"There was nothing special in meeting Mr. Gowda. I keep meeting him to discuss issues pertaining to development aspects. Though it is natural for those in politics to speculate, because of the fluid political situation, it is not right to attribute motives to my meeting with the former Prime Minister," he said.
National Development Council, which met under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, had decided to improve food production in the country by four times to meet the growing demand. It had been decided to grow 10 million tonnes of rice in 133 districts, 8 million tonnes of wheat in 168 districts and 2 million tonnes of pulses in 120 districts. Apart from budgetary allocation, the Union Government had earmarked Rs. 25,000 crore for the purpose, he said.
Special programme
He had met Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy in New Delhi to impress upon him to chalk-out a special programme to grow more rice and pulses in Karnataka and make use of the facilities extended by the Union Government. It was in this context he also met Mr. Gowda to exploit the opportunity extended by the Centre, he said.
On whether he had discussed politics during the meeting, Mr. Rajasekharan said that the Congress was aiming at winning more seats in the coming Lok Sabha elections in view of providing political stability to the country and the party was keenly observing the political situation in each State.
However, when asked whether it was right to align with the Janata Dal (S) again in the State, he said that commitment to ideology was not an important issue for political parties now. Whether he would accept the Chief Minister's post in case it was offered to him by the party High Command, Mr. Rajasekharan said that basically he was a party worker and not a leader. He was prepared to shoulder any responsibility given to him by the party leadership.
"However, the party's aim is to keep the BJP from power and it will become inevitable to align with like-minded parties," he added.
On the opposition by a few Congress leaders to the alliance with the Janata Dal (S) again, he said that there was no question of opposing the decision of party High Command.

I liked it. A lot.
I love the concept of three stories showing three different characters dealing with the after-effects of the war. One of them can deal with it only with a friend, one seems to be going PTSD and one seems to be trying to romanticize it. They are all dealing with it - nineteen years later or more. Your story shows what happens after the movie- after the climatic action sequence, and that is where its beauty lies.
I also really appreciated how you wrote the three different POVs. We have never been seen Lavender's POV in the series but your confidence in your writing and your skill (of course) did not let us doubt, even for a second, that they were Lavender's thoughts.
I like your writing style a lot too. You didn't say that things were as they were directly. You implied them. Just how thoughts are and POVs should be.
Great story! I would love to read more work by you, fan fiction and otherwise.

A new study produced by Alzheimer's Australia suggests up to 80 per cent of dementia patients in aged care facilities are being treated with psychotropic drugs.
The report, to be released today, suggests only one in five dementia patients receive any benefit from taking such medication.
Lateline previously revealed that up to 6,000 elderly Australians could be dying prematurely each year because of the misuse of psychotropic drugs in aged care facilities.
Alzheimer's Australia says about 140,000 nursing home residents are being sedated and restrained with the drugs.
The organisation says the use of drugs in nursing homes is excessive and has called for reform of the sector.

Nearly 2,000 Australians have admitted voting more than once in last year's federal election, electoral officials say, with one voter casting as many as 15 ballots.
Following the September poll, the Australian Electoral Commission investigated almost 19,000 instances of multiple voting.
Several thousand have been confirmed as being caused by clerical errors by electoral officials.
But Acting Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers has told a Senate estimates hearing that his organisation is taking a closer look at nearly 2,000 other cases.
The commission has been under scrutiny for losing nearly 1,400 Senate votes in Western Australia, and Ed Killesteyn resigned as commissioner last week.

no scalloping required

When we (myself and two experts) put the bike on the work stand we noticed that the two frame rails are asymetrical the right side has more of a curve to it and it was not necassary to cut any thing from the frame this is how it was. I have managed to get the lower link into place (almost) it is only 5mm (3/16 in) in front of the original position. This is going to have little or no effect on the suspension travel all the forward position does is raise the frame off the ground by about 3mm (1/8 in). The linkage/swingarm and shock location relationship is identical to that of an 04 yz/wr which was the donor swing arm and linkage.
I have tested the suspension through full range of movements and all is good (so far) seems to be all ok
I have welded a piece of tube onto the frame (rather than change the subframe) so I can mount the subframe onto the frame un-modifyed this was done so that if I damage the subframe on my travels one can be purchased or shipped to my location and fitted straight up.
All that is required is to make the tags to mount the lower portion of the subframe and weld them on.
Please excuse the poor welding I was having problems with the mig at work it has a hard life and gets no maintenance so when I make the final brackets I will investigate the problem and give it a bit of maintenance.
Build it and you will ride
