Letter: In Paris, they greeted me in English!Re: "I've rarely had a problem being served in French" (Don Macpherson, Sept. 16) The only place I have ever had a problem being greeted and served in French first is in Paris! My husband keeps telling me it's because I look like "an anglaise," with reddish hair and freckles. Each time, I paused and asked why Parisians don't have more pride in their mother tongue. Oops, you're a Québécoise, I would be answered, with a "pardon, vous avez raison." Oops indeed, and I more than relish visiting Paris and repeating the shame on you.
Cooper: We decided to give the EMSB a try, and here's whyThere are several reasons why we pulled our anglo son our of French public school and put him in English public school. One of them was that we were not convinced the overall education our son was receiving under the Commission scolaire de Montreal was fostering an environment in which he was encouraged to reach his full potential.
Blog vs. columnIt has happened a few times: people have referred to my blog as a column. Even a manager here used the "column" word once. We copy editors being sticklers about word meanings, I feel it is important to point out the difference.

Posted Under: Johanna's View
I met Marvin Miller a few years ago when he was speaking at NYU's law school. He spoke about a number of current issues in baseball and a bit about the formation of a union. He was upset, at the time, that the Player's Union had given in to any kind of testing- he thought that was an invasion of privacy that the player's didn't need. He was feisty, even at the age of 90 years old.
Mr. Miller was instrumental in the formation of a union, but also in escalating the business of all sport- not just baseball. And while as fans we may feel pushed aside because of these millionaire athletes, we should also understand that the game is better because of the money that is available in it. Yes, steroids still threaten the integrity. But athletes today take better care of themselves, they hone their skills more, and they compete to stay in the game as long as possible. Think what Babe Ruth might have been able to do if he needed to stay in shape. Money has changed the game, and perhaps not all for the good. But, it has in some ways made it better.
And while there are still owners who seem to hoard their money instead of improving their team, today their is pressure on the league not to allow that to happen. The more competitive each team is, the greater the value of each franchise. And all of that is because Marvin Miller taught a few players that they deserved their own piece of the pie.
Thank you Marvin Miller.
Now for a more complete obit, here is Richard Sandomir of the New York Times.

The State Government has decided to use the unlimited funds available under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) for irrigation projects to create infrastructure facilities.
The State Government has decided to utilise around Rs 1,000 Crore from the NREGS funds for the optimal utilisation of water in the command areas by constructing Field Irrigation Channels (FICs), taking up land leveling works and undertaking the long overdue construction and maintenance of ayacut roads in the command areas this year.
Water Resources Minister Basavaraj Bommai told "The Hindu" that this was apart from the usual allocation of funds from the state budget for the land leveling and FIC works. "This would give the required boost to the state government in its efforts to bring more areas under the wet irrigation network".
Mr Bommai said that in many medium irrigation projects in the Krishna basin wet irrigation potential could not be achieved due to the absence of the FICs and field drainages and one of the main reason was the failure of the successive governments to give equal importance to the FICs and Field Drains and land leveling activities in the command areas. To overcome this problem the government had decided to utilize the funds available under the NREGS. This would enable the government to achieve the dual objective of providing employment to the needy in the rural areas and to create a permanent and fruitful infrastructure facility.
He said that the government had already finalised a programme for taking up the FICs and ayacut roads worth Rs 250 Crores in the irrigation projects in south Karnataka. "I would be holding a high level meeting with the senior officials of the Zilla Panchayats of Gulabarga and Bidar and the Irrigation Department officials in the second week of September this year to finalise the proposals for taking up the FIC and Ayacut road works and land leveling works in the command areas of the Krishna basin projects in Hyderabad Karnataka region".
Mr Bommai said that during the current irrigation season, an estimated 11,000 Hectare irrigation potential would be created in the much delayed Bennethora Major Irrigation Project in Gulbarga District, which was formally inaugurated in 2006, but not a single acre of land could be provided irrigation facility due to the faulty canals and distributaries and the absence of the FICs.
He said all the bottlenecks in both the left and right bank canals have been overcome to provide water to the farmers field. It has been decided to provide irrigation in the left Bank Canal where the repair works in the canals and distributaries and construction of the FICs completed and on experimental basis leave water in the repaired canal and the distributaries in the right bank canal this year in Bennethora Project. "We will complete all the repair works and constructing the FICs in the project and release the water to the entire command area next year".
To a question, He said that the work of reconstructing the canals in the Amarja Medium Irrigation Project was going on in full speed and the government has decided to release water to the farmers field in the command areas from the next irrigation season. Similarly the work in the Bhima Lift Irrigation Project to provide irrigation facilities to nearly 25,000 hectares was in full swing the work is expected to be completed by 2010-11 and provide water to the command area farmers.

Clay Buchholz doesn't buy sunscreen theory
- Sections:
- Boston Red Sox
One week after Blue Jays broadcasters went all CSI regarding the gobs of glistening goop on Clay Buchholz' left forearm, one new theory emerged yesterday.
The mystery, however, remains.
A report in Yahoo Sports, citing multiple sources including one "close'' to the Red Sox, said Buchholz was using a mixture of sunscreen and rosin on his arm, a practice employed by pitchers on the other 29 teams as well. The intent, supposedly, of combining the two ingredients is not to load up the ball in order to increase its movement but to provide a substance that improves the pitcher's grip.
Buchholz, however, told WEEI.com that he is only a user of rosin and did not have sunscreen on in Toronto.
"I've used it in the past, but that wasn't on my arm at any time this season,'' Buchholz said. "Day games, you put sunscreen on. That's what you do. You put sunscreen on."
He said the issue boils down to slick baseballs.
"If nobody has ever touched a Major League Baseball, most of the time it's really slick for the simple fact they rub it with that mud, and when it sits in a bag all it feels is like a ball of dust,'' Buchholz said. "If it's going to your mouth and wiping it off to get a grip on the ball, or going to your arm because you have rosin on your arm, or put the rosin on your arm, that's what it's meant for.''
Data on Buchholz' performance in the Toronto game and throughout the season shows his pitches have behaved no differently than in the past, yet the Jays broadcasters understandably could not ignore the sheen on the right-hander's arm that everyone else could see as well. The Red Sox still maintain that Buchholz is a user of rosin and no foreign substances.
"I don't know of our pitchers using sunscreen,'' manager John Farrell said. "The comments that came out of our series up in Toronto suggested some form of cheating, and yet Clay uses rosin which I think every pitcher that walks through a mound and certainly on a major league mound would use. But the fact is Clay hasn't used any foreign substance. We'll take those accusations as a compliment to a guy that's really pitched well."
David Ross had some fun with the sunscreen theory.
"I don't really know what to say to that,'' the catcher said. "I know in 'Major League' guys were accused of putting jalapeno on their nose and rubbing snot on the ball. I don't know where they're getting the sunscreen from, but if (Yahoo) has any tips for our guys, we'd love to hear what works better, like BullFrog or what SPF might work better.
"We're just trying to win ballgames here, not worry about how bright the sun is or what SPF we need."

You certainly won't get a flat space that is the equivalent of the trampoline on the cat, that's for sure. I think you can still find a shallow draft (there are centerboard models with 2.5-3' drafts with the board up, which puts you in the same range as the Mac) in a monohull. In the end, only you can make the decision as to what works best for you.

So, this project is a priority for me now and I hope to be able to gather enough information to make it happen.
I can appreciate the sentiment, but be careful. I'd hate to see you throw $10-20K at a boat and have it be a real POS and an albatross that you can't get rid of. When I bought my first boat, I had negotiated a budget with my wife, and then had to be patient enough to find the right boat for our budget. That took about 9 months, and in that time I bet I was aboard at least 10-15 boats. That Mac may be the perfect boat, but it may not. Don't get your hopes up and try not to put on rose colored glasses on the first boat you get aboard (it's VERY hard to NOT to put the rose colored glasses on!!!). Might I suggest at least visiting some of the other mono's and cats that are out there? That will give you a better feel for what to look for in the Mac when you go to see her.

MAN — The second win of the season could be in 'View' for the Man High School football team this week.
The 'View' is Mount View, Man's home-opening opponent this Friday night in the annual Man Hall of Fame Game.
The Golden Knights (0-1) come into the game off last week's 53-14 loss to McDowell County rival River View in the "Battle of the Views."
Man is 1-0 after last week's emotional 32-26 overtime win over Class AAA county rival Logan on the road.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Man's George A. Queen Memorial Field.
Mount View, coming off last year's 1-9 season, used to have a solid football program. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Golden Knights were often a darkhorse contender in the playoffs and were always a threat with their speed, size and athleticism.
But over the course of the last seven years, Mount View has fallen on hard times.
Since then, the Golden Knights have been one of West Virginia's bottom-feeders in Class AA football.
Mount View last made it into the playoffs with an 8-4 mark in 2005 and a 7-4 season in 2006.
Then the bottom fell through and the once-proud Golden Knights' program went into disarray.
Mount View had losing seasons in 2007 and 2008 and went 1-9 in 2009, falling in its last seven games.
After back-to-back 0-10 seasons in 2010 and 2011, Mount View showed some signs of life in 2012, breaking a 32-game losing skid and finishing 3-7 with victories over Wyoming East, Van and Fayetteville.
Last year, however, Mount View managed just one win — a 23-6 road victory at Liberty Raleigh. One of the Golden Knights' losses last fall was to the Hillbillies in a 44-0 defeat to Man at Welch.
Man has dominated Mount View since the Golden Knights' downfall, winning 20-12 in 2012 and also taking wins to the tune of 41-12, 63-0, 56-0 and 54-6.
Man has won the last five meetings and will be heavily favored again this time but Billies' coach Harvey Arms and his team is not looking past the Golden Knights.
"They have a new coach again and there's not much to compare them in the past," Arms said. "We do have some film on them and as always with Mount View they have some game-breaking players. They have good speed and you have to be very consistent with them. You can't go to sleep because they can score in a heartbeat. The past few seasons they have been down record-wise but they always have some good talent and speed that you have to be conscience of the whole game."
For the second straight week, the Billies have an opportunity to beat a team in a higher classification.
After knocking off Class AAA Logan last week and grabbing 12 points in the WVSSAC's playoff computer ratings system, Man has a chance to snag nine more points on Friday with a victory over the 2A Golden Knights. By contrast, Man would only get six points for a win over a fellow Single-A team.
"It's a good opportunity for us," Arms said. "For years, our schedule has been loaded with Double-A teams and a Triple-A team in Logan since they have moved up in classification. It's an opportunity for us but the thing that we're looking at is that we have to improve from last week. We have to get better each week. We thought our kids played awfully well last Friday night but there's a lot of things that we need to get better on."
The learning curve for the Golden Knights has been tremendous so far this season.
Mount View's opener last week at River View featured a rousing pregame show by the West Virginia University marching band. The band made a stop en route to Atlanta for WVU's season opening game against Alabama.
But for Mount View football fans that was about the only highlight of the night as River View rolled to the 39-point win.
The Golden Knights were flagged a whopping 22 times for 155 yards. The Raiders didn't fare any better and were penalized 19 times for 165 yards. The sloppy game featured seven fumbles, five pass interceptions any only 248 rushing yards combined.
River View's defense recorded three safeties and scored two touchdowns, one on a pass interception return by Jordan Wilson and another on a fumble recovery in the Knight end zone by Nick Bailey.
"They have a new coach, a new system and young players," Arms said of Mount View. "I guess the penalties are to be expected but 22 penalties is an awful lot. That's the kind of things that we have to stay away from — penalties and turnovers."
Mount View only had nine first downs and 196 yards of total offense. The Knights had 32 rushes for 121 yards and added 75 more in the air. On the flip side, Mount View held River View to only 173 total yards.
Mount View first-year head coach Larry Thompson said his team was completely out of sync.
"I think we played hard. We just didn't execute well," Thompson told the Beckley Register-Herald. "We fumbled the ball early and just could not get over it. I think we let the crowd get to us. We called a punt, but it was like we were speaking a foreign language. We're not going to not punt with 40 yards to go on fourth down at our own 7."
Mount View trailed 25-6 at the half after a 6-yard TD run by Joseph Hayes. The sophomore running back finished the game with 115 yards rushing on 15 carries.
Down 53-6 in the fourth, the Golden Knights scored one more touchdown with Chris Muncy's 4-yard run with only 33 seconds in the game. Muncy, the Golden Knights' quarterback, was only 4-for-16 in the air for 75 yards and three interceptions.
Man hung on to beat Logan last week, led by Lions Club Bowl Game Most Valuable Player Neil Mullins, who smashed his way for 132 yards on 24 carries.
Man had jumped out to a commanding 26-14 lead with 6:34 left in the game as QB John Thomas Keffer scored on a 1-yard touchdown sneak.
Logan then came back with two fourth quarter TD's to tie it 26-26. A missed PAT with 33 seconds left could have potentially won it.
Man then won the game in overtime with Mikle Scott Rowe's 9-yard TD run.
The Hillbillies outgained Logan 310-280 in total yards.
Man had 43 rushes for 214 yards and Keffer was 5-for-15 passing for 96 yards. The Billies held Logan to 28 carries for 134 yards. Logan QB Ryan Miller was 10-for-18 passing for 146 yards with two TDs and two interceptions.
Gage Harvey and Jace Duba led Man's defense with nine tackles each. Duba also had two sacks. Bryce Goff had seven stops and an interception. Christian McCoy had seven tackles and one tackle for loss. Nick Collins had a 5-yard interception for a touchdown.
"It was great to get the win in the first week and it was great that it was Logan," Arms said. "But as I told the kids yesterday, the celebration is over."
Arms said his team came off last week's win over Logan injury free.
That's good news for any football team.

Median pay for SAP Consultants in the United States lies in the neighborhood of $85K per year. Total incomes of SAP Consultants incorporate potential for, in a few cases, more than $20K from bonuses and close to $13K from profit sharing; these performance components cause packages to range between $58K and $166K. Compensation for this group is mainly affected by career length, but the company and geographic location are influential factors as well. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. A large number report receiving medical coverage from their employers and more than half collect dental insurance. The vast majority of SAP Consultants (82 percent) survey respondents are men.

SAP consultants analyze, design, and configure new computer software and systems in accordance with their employers' or clients' specifications, as well as write programs such as forms, specifications, and interfaces. They also test new interfaces to ensure that system workflows are optimized and interact with end-users to make changes as requested and obtain feedback.Read More...
Those in this position must be patient and flexible, as end-users regularly revise system requirements. They also perform data transfers from non-SAP systems to SAP and customize clients' and employers' systems in accordance with their system requirements. They generally test for all system errors to ensure total system integration, and they generally work under senior SAP consultants. Flexibility is important, as they may be required to travel or relocate to other places within or outside of the United States. Some may be responsible for training, coaching, and mentoring new or junior SAP consultants. All SAP consultants should constantly improve and update their technological skills by attending various workshops and classes at local colleges or universities and reading relevant journals.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field and relevant work experience are generally required for this position; however, some employers may accept candidates with a wealth of experience as computer software professionals in place of the degree requirement. Excellent oral and written communication skills, presentation skills, and the ability to work well in team environments are also important.

SAP Consultants often end up in upper-level roles like Senior SAP Consultant. Senior SAP Consultants bring home $110K annually on average. A lot of SAP Consultants advance their careers by becoming Information Technology Project Managers and SAP Business Analysts. However, those positions offer $8K less and $11K less per year on average.
Dominating the field, Accenture, IBM Global Services, International Business Machines (IBM) Corp., Deloitte Consulting LLP, and InfoSys Limited are top firms with a reputation for hiring a great number of SAP Consultants. Employees of SAP America, Inc. can expect to make the most, with the company offering a median salary of $136K; however, pay is widely dispersed from bottom to top, ranging from $60K to $187K. SAP Consultants can also look forward to large paychecks at HCL America, Inc. ($102K), Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) ($100K), and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp ($95K).
The consistently lowest paying firm on the list is InfoSys Limited, where the median salary is just $77K — 76 percent lower than the top payer. Other low-paying employers include International Business Machines (IBM) Corp. at $78K and IBM Global Services at $85K, though some SAP Consultants there earn up to $186K.
Survey takers working as SAP Consultants report using a large range of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Project Management, SAP Production Planning, SAP Materials Management, and SAP Human Resources are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 6 percent and 20 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include SAP Basis, SAP Business Intelligence, and SAP Security. Most people who know SAP Materials Management also know SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and income seem to be closely related; in general, the survey respondents who had worked for more years reported higher incomes. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $74K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $98K. Professionals who claim 10 to 20 years of experience can secure some pretty cushy paychecks; the median for this group is a six-figure $123K. Survey participants who have worked for more than two decades report bringing in $157K on average.
SAP Consultants earn a generous sum in the state of California: In particular, San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles have higher pay rates than anywhere else in the country, each offering salaries above the national average. SAP Consultants in Cincinnati take home the lowest salaries, earning a whopping 21 percent less than the national average. Below-median salaries also turn up in Boston and Minneapolis (16 percent lower and 15 percent lower, respectively).

Meanwhile, 1 million people rallied for peace in Rome; in London, local media reported that at least half-a-million turned out to object to Tony Blair's call for war (though organizers there put the number at well over 1 million); and in Spain, where polls show 92 percent of the public rejecting force as a solution to the barbarity of Saddam Hussein even as the Spanish government lines up behind President Bush, 1.3 million demonstrated in Barcelona, and 2 million in Madrid.
Protesters in New York were not deterred by the city's refusal to permit a march across Manhattan nor by temperatures in the low twenties and a biting breeze slicing off the East River. Organizers counted at least half a million here, as throngs filled First Avenue from 50th to 72nd Streets; untold others never made it to the rallying point as police barricaded street after street, preventing groups from advancing east from Second and even Third Avenue.
"We just couldn't stay at home and watch this war take shape on TV any more," said Denise Weeks, explaining why she and her husband had decided to attend their first anti-war demonstration ever. Having returned to school recently to pursue a new career in student advisement, Weeks had recently written an eye-opening paper on the USA Patriot Act, while her son, a college student, had been sharing his findings for a research paper on corporate control of the media. "Both got me in tune with what's happening," she said. Added her husband, Luther, "A preemptive strike would set a terrible and frightening precedent."
While the usual lefty suspects were certainly in evidencekids with black kerchiefs tied over their faces, sectarians hawking newspapers, protestors with signs proclaiming "Free Mumia" and "Fuck Bush"the vast majority of people and the slogans they carried revealed how mainstream the opposition to war has become in America. Two middle-aged attorneys from Danbury (one representing employers in labor disputes, the other handling commercial real estate deals in Manhattan) got politically involved for the first time in decades. "We just don't want to see all those Iraqis killed," said one, summing up their no-brainer of a motivation for braving the cold. For Millicent Petersen, a unit clerk in a Long Island hospital who rallied with her union sisters and brothers from 1199-SEIU, "there's just no purpose to this war that makes sense." At 40, Neil Hill, who works for a sporting goods company, was also attending his first demonstration, because "war always has to be the last resort and I just don't think we're there yet."
Hill was among many who came on their own. One freelance participant hastily scrawled a sign on brown cardboard granting himself representative status, "Plumbers for Peace." But dozens of organized contingents gathered at various points around the city to provide "feeder marches" to the main rally. Performing artists, led by the Bread and Puppet Theater and some 300 of their papier mache and fabric skeletons, capitalist fatheads, and figures of anguish, started out at Columbus Circle and were sent up and down midtown as they tried to find a through-street to First Avenue; thousands of uptown youth of color surged into the rally with chants and drums; several hundred Jews, who had begun the morning with bagels and optional Sabbath services at the old Yiddish center the Workmen's Circle, were turned this way and that by police as they tried to walk together from 33rd Street to the rally. ("Last time we listened to a Bush," read one woman's placard, "we wandered in the desert for 40 years.")
At some intersections where people were barred, frustration mounted. Around 2 p.m., hundreds of people gushed onto First Avenue after being held a block away for more than an hour-and-a-half, according to Josh Kulp, a 25-year-old school teacher who had been pressed up against at barricade by an aggravated crowd. One young man who tried to push his way past, Kulp said, was pinned at the neck by two cops with billy clubs.
There were dozens of reports of other such aggressive police responsesranging from rudeness to shoving to surrounding protesters with horses and cops in riot gearall along avenues west of the rally as people objected to being prevented from exercising their First Amendment rights to join the demonstration. The National Lawyers Guild, which provided legal assistance, estimated that 350 people were arrested, the vast majority of them simply trying to get to First Avenuewhere protesters were herded into pens set up on each block.

Since I do a fair share of programming in Visual Basic, C# and C++ I thought I would post something here for you guys that like to do things programmatically. With the code sample provided here in this article you will be able to use Visual Basic to create a Global Address List.
An Exchange Servers Global Address List is an Active Directory object that exists in the Configuration container of the Active Directory. In order for you to create a Global Address List, you must first create an addressBookContainer class object in the directory under the following object:
CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=DomainName,DC=com
Global Address Lists, unlike address lists, cannot be nested and should be created in the All Global Address Lists container.
To enable MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) clients to use a Global Address List, you must add the Distinguished Name of the newly created GAL to the globalAddressList attribute on the Microsoft Exchange container.
Once this is done you must then set the following two attributes on the Global Address List object before your first call to SetInfo when you create the object:
NOTE: Although the preceding attribute is marked optional, you must set it at object-creation time before the first SetInfo call. You must also set the following optional attributes:
This Visual Basic sample code that I am displaying below creates a Global Address List in the Active Directory. Note that this code does not demonstrate how to modify security on the new GAL. This sample code requires that the "Active DS Type Library" topic be included in the Visual Basic references for this project. The minimum requirements to run this code include the following:
To create this Visual Basic Project, follow these steps:
Private Sub Command1_Click()Dim RootOUNameDim sSystemFlagsDim displayNameDim purportedSearchsSystemFlags = "1610612736"displayName = "testGAL5"purportedSearch = "(mailNickname=*)"' Get Address list containerSet AddressListCont = GetObject("LDAP://Myserver/CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=MyOrg,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=MyDomain,DC=com") ' Create the New Address ListSet NewAddressList = AddressListCont.Create("addressBookContainer", "CN=testGAL5") NewAddressList.DisplayName = displayName'this will have to be customized based on the query filterNewAddressList.purportedSearch = purportedSearch'This can only be set at creation time'This attribute is set by passing a value that is defined by the ADS_SYSTEMFLAG_ENUM enumeration documented at -'http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netdir/adsi/ads_systemflag_enum.asp'In this sample I am passing in the 1610612736 (0x60000000) which is'0x60000000 = 0x40000000 or 0x20000000 (ADS_SYSTEMFLAG_CONFIG_ALLOW_RENAME + ADS_SYSTEMFLAG_CONFIG_ALLOW_MOVE)NewAddressList.systemflags = sSystemFlags' Save New GALNewAddressList.SetInfoDebug.Print "GAL Saved OK."'Now that the GAL is created, we would need to add the distinguished' name of this new GAL to the "globalAddressList" attribute on the' CN=Microsoft Exchange object, so that Outlook clients would know' the list of all the GALs' If your not creating a GAL but creating a regular address list, you' should not perform the following steps!Set msExchService = GetObject("LDAP://MyServer/CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=MyDomain,DC=com")msExchService.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND, "globaladdresslist", Array("CN=testGAL5,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=MyOrg,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=MyDomain,DC=com")msExchService.SetInfoMsgBox "Done"End Sub

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is demanding his youngsters prove their worth tonight against Capital One Cup opponents Morecambe.
Pardew wants to see the likes of Gael Bigirimana, Paul Dummett, Sammy Ameobi and Haris Vuckic — all starters — grasping their opportunity.
He said: "I do feel if you carry a squad of 22-23 professional players and you don't use eight of them, that's wrong. We have paid something in the region of £15-16m on young players at this club and they really need to come to the fore now.
"I feel last year they didn't do themselves justice in the Premier League when they played and in the cup competitions. That's not good enough. If they don't do it this year, we'll draw a line under one or two of them. It's a big game for one or two individuals, who we think are good enough to play in the Premier League, but haven't shown it.
"I expect to win with the team I put it out, trust me. I wouldn't pick it otherwise, but these young players have to come to the fore. The players are under a bit of pressure and they have to react to that."

Kirams say Malaysian security forces killed kin in Sabah
More News from Nikko Dizon
MANILA, Philippines—The Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo said on Wednesday that an uncle of Sultan Jamalul Kiram III was killed in Sabah by Malaysian security forces on Sunday.
Abraham Idjirani, spokesperson for the sultanate, said the slain Jamjam Salih was 71 to 74 years old and was an ustadz, a religious leader, and he had been living in Semporna town with his family since 1990.
"They (Malaysian authorities) did not know that he was a peaceful and religious man," Idjirani said by phone.
Idjirani did not say how Salih was killed. Jamalul's daughter, Princess Jacel Kiram, said Salih was arrested on Sunday and killed.
But there were no reports of arrests or killings involving followers of the Sulu sultan in Sabah on Sunday.
The INQUIRER contacted a Sabah reporter to check the sultanate's claims about Salih's killing and was told that Sabah police reported no arrests or killings on that day.
Jacel said she had been talking with her uncle Agbimuddin Kiram and he told her that Salih was arrested in Lahad Datu after the authorities had determined that the ustadz was a relative of the Kirams.
Jacel said, however, that the information about Salih's arrest and death was unclear.
Agbimuddin alive
The princess said Agbimuddin, whom Malaysian authorities said had abandoned his men and slipped back to southern Philippines, was in Sabah and regularly called to assure the family that he remained safe despite intense police military operations against the followers of the Sulu sultan.
The intrusion of Agbimuddin's armed group into Sabah on Feb. 9 to press the Sulu sultanate's claim to the territory has led to the three-week-old fighting between his men and Malaysian security forces.
Sixty-five fighters from Agbimuddin's group have been killed in the fighting that began on March 1.
Eight policemen and two soldiers have been killed on the Malaysian side.
Jacel blamed the violence on the Malaysian government, saying Agbimuddin's group did not go to Sabah to fight but to spend their last days in their own homeland.
"We do not want war," Jacel said, adding that Agbimuddin's men were shooting back only to defend themselves.
The fighting in Sabah has forced thousands of Filipinos illegally living in the eastern Malaysian territory to leave and return to the Philippines.
Fleeing Sabah
Nearly 4,000 undocumented Filipinos have landed in Mindanao after fleeing Sabah in the past three weeks.
Most of them, however, say they want to go back to Sabah when the crisis is over.
On Monday a boat with 100 undocumented Filipinos landed in Tawi-Tawi, bringing to 3,864 the number of returnees since fighting in Sabah began on March 1.
"I think it's fair to say it's big in terms of actual lives involved. But given the total number of Filipinos there that we know, it's still very manageable," Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman said yesterday.
Soliman said the total number of returnees could be larger.
"We don't have a good handle of the number. They're coming in trickles. I'm sure there could be arrivals that we're not able to monitor," she said.
Most of the returnees came from Lahad Datu, Sandakan and Semporna and landed in Taganak and Sibutu islands in Tawi-Tawi.
The government has provided P13.4 million worth of food and transportation assistance for the returnees, Soliman said.
Legal aid through Tingting
At the Kirams' home in Taguig City, senatorial candidate Margarita Cojuangco said she would help the Sulu sultanate provide legal assistance to its followers who had been arrested and facing charges in Sabah.
"We would like to raise funds from a donation of P10 to P100 to help the legal team to help Sultan Kiram," Cojuangco said.
She said the legal team is composed of private lawyers with their own law firms.
"They have to travel to the different islands of the Philippines. They don't charge legal fees. The concern of the sultan is we should help them at least to bring justice and to work for human beings," Cojuangco said.
Jamalul said Cojuangco came to help on his invitation. With reports from TJ Burgonio in Manila and Karlos Manlupig and Allan Nawal, Inquirer Mindanao

Maximize your blogging experience on developerWorks using the Minimal Theme blog template
bobleah 270000CN12 Comments (30) Visits (35014)
Having developed a
First, a quick overview of the Minimal Theme: In addition to a number of new widgets that our bloggers and their readers may find useful, this template provides full support for smart phone and tablet views. The goal of the theme is to provide an exceptional experience that your blog followers will find intuitive, in addition to making your blog easier to read, find, and follow, regardless of platform.
The Minimal theme template does not require any customization or updating, and is completely functional once applied, with no additional editing required. However, there are a number of best practices that will maximize the new features of this theme. Additionally, the theme can be further customized for bloggers who desire unique visual treatments or require more fidelity and control over the widgets provided within the theme.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for your blog home page
SEO for each blog post you author
Tagging blog posts
As covered above in SEO, tagging is a critical factor in the find-ability of your blog posts. Sit down and create a tagging strategy for your blog. Carefully and consistently choose your post's tags, as tags form the relationship between the currently displayed blog post and posts displayed in the Related Posts widget. Use short meaningful tags. If you must use a tag that consists of more than a single word, then you will need to bridge the words to form a complete keyword. To do this, use a hyphen or underscore to bridge multiple words into a single tag keyword, for example: smart_device or smart-device. Don't use your name as a tag, or a common term, such as IBM or developerworks, unless these keywords are truly meaningful to the post itself. Try not to saturate a tag by repeatably using it, as it will no longer be meaningful or useful to form relationships between your blog posts.
Featuring blog posts
The Minimal theme supports a design treatment to feature blog posts. You must have a minimum of 2 or more blog posts tagged with the featured tag keyword for the widget to display. You can alternatively choose any tag keyword to feature, by updating the $tem
Using video and images in your blog posts
Images and video are popular ways to share content with readers of your blog. The Minimal theme will automatically size both images and video embedded into a blog post to fit devices from phones up to desktop browsers. When embedding an image, take a moment to reduce the picture size (and weight) to keep the total page weight as low as possible. For video, please use the embed option of  or <embed>, in lieu of <object>. At this time, there is no way to scale a video that has been embedded as an object.
Displaying Links
Use the Links dialog to configure and display related or meaningful links on your blog. You can add links to other social networks that you are a member of, or possibly display links to other areas within developerWorks, such as software downloads that are related to your blogs topic. Links can be an image, text, or both. The links dialog can be found by navigating to your Blog -> New Entry -> Links page.
About this blog

Trending topics
The trending topics widget uses popular and recurring tags on your blog posts to display a simple and easy graph for your users to explore your blog by topic. This widgets fidelity is fully customizable by setting the following properties found in the _options template:
Tag clouds
Displaying tags in a cloud widget is a popular means to allow your readers to navigate your blog by tag topic. While I personally think the experience offered by the trending topics widget is superior, the Minimal theme does offer both a popular tags widget (for blog post view) and a full tag cloud widget (home page view). The fidelity of these widgets are fully customizable by setting the following properties found in the _options template:
Tag cloud in the Hero area
You can optionally set $tag
Pinning a post to the top of your blog home page
Optionally pin one of your blog posts to the top of your blog's home page. This is a great way to introduce the general subject matter of your blog. by creating a special blog post, or simply pin a post that contains a video or photo slide show. You create this sticky post the same as any other blog post, then simply give it a unique tag. Then set $template-home-tag within the _options template to this unique tag.
Syntax highlighting code sniplets
If you include code sniplets in you blog posts, simply go into <h> mode in the blog editor, and surround your sniplet with HTML code elements: YOUR CODE SNIPLET. The minimal theme will automatically apply highlighting to the code syntax.
Adding a poll
To add a poll to your blog, first go to http
Advanced Settings and Post thumbnails
Found directly under your blog editor, you can toggle open the Advanced Settings dialog to specify a custom URL for your blog entry, or correct a blog entry URL, in the case where you edited the title of a blog post and you now want the URL to match up again. This is also where you can specify an image to be used as the thumbnail to represent a blog post. You do this by setting the URL of the thumbnail image in the External media URL field. After I create a thumbnail image for my blog, I typically store it within my blog by using my blogs File uploads dialog, located on the blog editor page. The thumbnail image will display on your blogs home page if you have configured the $tem

@ Tom - tagging is a subject I could devote a complete blog too... and really should. The quick answer is I typically start with 1 anchor tag, then add additional tags to fine tune the related blogs that show up in the Related widget. Tags is something we all take for granted, but a strong tagging strategy can result in far greater find-ability results for our followers.
Ah.... another great update to the blog template. Its almost become expected that another iteration of the blog template will be available on a quarterly basis. : )

 I really am glad to see the latest evolution of the tagging treatment to provide a quick and easily consumable visual indication of the trending. This is great and concise way to communicate, in a visually enticing manner, trending to the user. It would be really nice to see this design evolution applied across the site.

 Also, the "Links" feature is probably the most requested customization there is for those that adopt the blogging template. So, you have just made a lot of folks very happy.

 Now, we just need to make this blog template the default for our bloggers. Then, Bob... you may be able to retire.

@ David - thanks for the kind words! I'm excited about the prospect that trending holds for our bloggers and the site. Navigation through trending keywords is a great way to naturally let popular topics gain focus. With luck (and some hard work!), we should find this treatment reaching other areas of our site soon.
Very good tips. Am I missing a simple mechanism that already exists for embedding files? I would like, for example, to include a jar with sample code ... right now, I can do so ... but is is not intuitive to the reader how to actually get the files. Since I'm just getting started, I plan to follow as many of these tips starting now as possible. I feel no need to fall into each ditch personally.
@ MikeC711 - For downloadable files or other large artifacts, like zipped up code examples. I use the developerWorks Files application (located under the Community tab in the masthead). I upload my artifacts to Files, then simply link to them in my blog post. To actually embed an artifact into my blog post, such as a video, toggle your blog editor into HTML mode, by clicking the 1st icon (h) on the editor toolbar. Once in HTML mode you can paste in a embed or iFrame.
Bob, this is much cleaner and easy to update. Thanks for the easy to follow, step by step instructions.
Hi

 I might have missed something along the way. Although I think your template is great, I do not understand what to do with your occasional updates. I do I incorporate your latest changes into my blog without losing my customization? I should add here I am NOT an HTML or CSS person. A few of the things that happen are pretty much magic to me... (smile)...

 Here is how I am currently using your template...
 https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/db2handbook/

 Thanks again for making this available.. it's sure a lot nicer looking that the traditional developerWorks template for blogs.

 BTW, here are links to my external blogs also..

 Thanks again...

@ Willie - keeping up with the blog template updates is completely optional on your part. Some stick to a certain level, while others like to keep to the latest. In the current version, I have tried to keep the customizations to a minimum, so most can upgrade, and add back their own unique touches in just a few minutes. In the end, its totally up to you to choose when to upgrade or stick with what you have. Enjoy!
This is excellent and will contribute a lot on my Iphone version of my blog.

agence web montreal

No idea how you do it. Another phenomenal design update! Thx for pushing the boundaries.
Hi Bob,
 I like the trending topics feature. However, I find that I use a common tag set for all blogs (so that it gets listed appropriately on main dW tag clouds and other groups) and then add a few tags that are specific to a post. So the trending topics look the same for all my posts. It would be interesting to have a "ignoreTags" setting for the trending topics where we could list the common tags which are maybe obvious given the blog.
Hi Bob,

 I upgraded to this template on your recommendation and can tell you it was easy and my blog looks immensely more professional than it did with the standard blog template.

 I still have some learning to do to get going on all the features I want to use, but I've made one observation and wonder if you've seen this before.

 My blog entries come up with odd symbols in place of text (in some places) when they are picked up by dailies: http://paper.li/tag/db2. I also have a screen capture showing the problem if the daily is not available. I can't post it here, so let me know if you want me to send it somewhere?

Hi Bob,
- I put the image location in _option CSS template as #set($template-blog-header = '<URL>')
Hi Bob,

 I've been using the minimal theme for quite a while now, but I'm getting ready to update it with a hero image. I'm having trouble getting my image to display. I uploaded the graphic to dW, but when I set the value in the _options, it displays my URL instead of the image (and the URL hotspot points back to my blog). I'm sure I'm missing something on the syntax.

 Here's the syntax I have (this is a sample URL, the actual URL I'm using is valid and on dW):

 #set($template-blog-header = 'https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/myblog/resource/heroimage.jpg')

 Thanks,
 Steve
My last comment should have said that I was missing the image source tag but the less-than / greater-than signs don't show up in a comment. So here's what worked (replace the "less-than" and "greater-than" words with the symbols):

 #set($template-blog-header = 'less-thanimg src="https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/myblog/resource/heroimage.jpg"greater-than')

Finding the perfect engagement ring is the most important
jewelry purchase you'll ever make. In under a minute, our
online questionnaire will gather all the information needed
to help you make the decision.
A deep, majestic 2.04 carat Cushion cut lab-created sapphire resides at the center of this affordable 14k gold colored center stone engagement ring. Micro-set Diamond Simulant accents fill the smooth halo around the center as well as the top and sides of the shoulders of the band for a total weight of 3.18 carats.
Items 1 to 10 of 13 total
I have had this ring since April 2011. I wear it daily and always receive compliments almost daily. I have had no issues what so ever.
I love this ring.
So I've had this ring sing May, 2012 (a little over two years.) Within the first year, stone on the side band fell out once and I sent it back for repair. Between January 2014 and May 2014 the SAME stone fell out THREE times! Each time I had to send it back, wasting money on shipping and paying fees. Finally they "fixed it" right before my wedding by adding extra gold, partially covering the edges of the stone so that it looks different from the other settings. Well a few months now after my wedding, TWO more stones have fallen out and I'm about ready to just get a new ring even though I spent lots of money on and fixing this ring as well as even more on a "custom" wedding band to match it. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful ring but extremely disappointing! I even have a separate ring for work so it's not like this ring goes through anything that should cause stones to fall out. Just feeling a little bit ripped off at this point.
Diamond Nexus replies: Hi, my name is Cassie Weger, and I am the Public Relations Coordinator with Diamond Nexus. I am sincerely sorry for these issues occurring with your ring, and any inconvenience this may have caused. Of course we will replace the stones for you. I encourage you to reach out to Michelle Edwards, our Customer Experience Manager, at email@example.com. Let her know your order number so that she can assist you further. I promise, stones falling out in not a common occurrence with Diamond Nexus rings. To best protect your ring, we recommend that you do not wear your ring when doing house work, heavy lifting or using any sort of chemical (including hand lotion). Again, I am so sorry, and I hope this can get resolved soon!
This ring was given to me 7 months ago and I only wear it occasionally, One of the small diamonds on the band fell out and I sent it for repairs. I thought this one little stone replacement was covered by the warranty, but not so. They are charging me $35.00 for the repair!! When I called them, customer service rep told me the stone is covered under warranty, but they needed to "repolish and work on the setting"... what!!! The setting is obviously the problem and caused the loss of the stone. So I told her it is a new ring and it doesn't need to be repolished but she told me, "Well it says on the warranty whenever we do things like repolish, and retouch up on setting we have to charge." To me it sounds like they actually charged for the tiny stone I am missing.. I can't believe the stone fell off not even a year and when I wore it only occasionally. My two recent purchases are processing and once I get them by mail, I won't ever order from here again... bad customer service and false advertisement about the lifetime warranty....new buyers beware. I will be watching to see if they post this and if not, I will post on another website to warn others...
Diamond Nexus responds: Hello! My name is Cassie Weger, and I am the public Relations Coordinator at Diamond Nexus. I apologize for any misunderstanding. I encourage you to reach out to Michelle Edwards, our Customer Experience Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com. With your order number, she will be able to look into the purchase and help find a solution. Best, Cassie.
My hubby purchased this ring for me after our daughter was born, its her birthstone. It is just stunning!!!!
It's perfect! I got engaged May 8th, 2012 when my fiancee returned from Air Force basic training and technical school. My mom also has a sapphire, so it always reminds me of her. The sapphire is the perfect size. It doesn't sit too high up so it doesn't interfere if you do a lot with your hands. The diamonds are beautiful and sparkle in the light. I absolutely love it!
I love this ring and my fiance did an AMAZING job of picking this out for me!!! We worked with Chelsea and had a custom wedding band to match. The design team was great to work with and made sure that this was everything I dreamed it would be.
I bought Sapphire Royale but had a Ruby put into the setting. And, I had several embellishments done with Rubies. It's a magnificent ring and has special meaning for me as it's my birthstone!! My ring was make in Rose Gold.... Thanks DNL for a beautiful product.
Thanks too goes to Sarah who gives fantastic customer service!!!!
I love the shape of this ring. It is an even better version of the late Princess Diana's ring.
Watching the video and seeing the pics this is not something I would normally pick. But it is gorgeous! The blue is so deep! It doesn't seem to feel like it sits as high as it does, the height doesn't bother me one bit.
I have a deep admiration for sapphires and this ring really suits me! Its beautiful to look at. The stone is amazing, the setting really lets the sapphire have center stage.!

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel email@example.com The Clayton County Board of Commissioners (BOC) has come together to try to save Southern Regional Medical Center (SRMC) from financial peril. At a Tuesday night session, the board also voted to cut several, key, county-government positions, and created a new committee to oversee the county's finances. After adding several new conditions to its SRMC agreement, the board voted unanimously to help the hospital refinance its $40.2 million bond. In addition to requiring the hospital to put aside 10 percent of the $40.2 million bond in a debt repayment fund, the BOC made the hospital increase its amount of cash-on-hand to $745,000 daily, and $5 million weekly. Also, the BOC voted to have two BOC-appointed seats on the hospital's board of directors. "We're 100 percent in favor of what you did tonight," said Ron Dodson, chairman of the hospital's board of directors. Eldrin Bell, BOC chairman, said he would continue to urge the hospital to convince SunTrust Bank, the loan provider, to reduce the bond's current 12 percent variable interest rate. "The changes take us an enormously long way from the citizens having to pay the debt of the hospital," said Bell. "The additional members to the [hospital] board was something I wanted from the beginning." Commissioners Wole Ralph, Sonna Singleton, and newly-appointed commissioner, Gail Hambrick, voted 3-2 to appoint Ralph as one of its members on the hospital board. The other appointment is pending. In other action, several changes were made to the structure of the Clayton County government. Commissioners Ralph, Singleton, and Hambrick, voted to fire Ed Wall, the county's long-time investment banker. Wall had served as a bond underwriter for more than 20 years. Edmonson and Bell opposed the move. The decision reverses a formal approval of Wall's contract in October. At the recommendation of Alex Cohilas, the county's newly appointed chief of staff, and its fire chief, the board cut several jobs, and created new ones. Cohilas said the changes were done as a way to "streamline government" and save the county around $456,000. Board members eliminated the positions of the director of the risk management department, the executive assistant to the BOC, and the director of refuse control. Three new positions were created, however: an executive legal assistant for the district attorney; a public information officer for the BOC, and a policy and planning staff position. Cohilas said the new positions will cost the county about $183,000. Cohilas suggested eliminating the position of director of the Clayton County Economic Development Department, formerly held by Robin Roberts. She resigned on Friday. The board, however, decided to freeze the position. A fuel attendant position in fleet maintenance also was frozen. In another move, Ralph, Singleton, and Hambrick voted 3-2 to create a new two-commissioner finance committee that will receive continuous updates from the finance director, and other department heads, about the financial status of the county. Singleton then moved that Ralph and Hambrick be the two commissioners to serve on the committee. It was approved 3-2, with commissioners Edmondson and Bell opposed. "I think that this steps outside of the authority of this board given by the state of Georgia," said Bell. He also called the decision to cut key positions in the county government "reckless." "It's an irresponsible action that will not help the citizens at all [to] receive better services," he said.

Breakfast for the 31 of the 46 Indian nurses holed up in the besieged Tikrit Teaching Hospital was biscuits dipped in black tea. There were no plans for lunch. All they had was a three-fourths full sack of rice, a little cooking oil and an LPG cylinder to do the cooking.
Fortunately, lunch would be served. The Iraqi youth they had sent out on Sunday morning with a list of things to buy, essentially foodstuff, returned on Monday morning. The Iraqi youth is their only conduit to the outside world. Till Friday, he was a PRO of the 600-bed Tikrit Teaching Hospital, where the nurses worked.
Friday night, the hospital's emergency block was hit by a stray bomb dropped from a Iraqi government helicopter gunship. That was the final straw for the few local staff still left in the hospital. The bomb killed three patients. The local staff fled. The nurses stayed put. They had nowhere to go.
Saturday night, another rocket landed on the hospital compound. "It shook the building and dust and debris flew into their rooms. They are a frightened lot," a source in constant touch with the nurses told dna.
Sunday morning, after a harrowing night, which left the nurses unnerved and mentally and physically exhausted, the "PRO" returned "with red beans (Rajma), chickpeas, Quboos (Arabic bread) and rice."
At 2.30 pm, lunch was made, and served: Kanji with a dish of red beans. Frugal fare. "Dinner would be whatever is leftover from lunch, and Quboos," said the source. "The worry is that once the Shia militia enter the city, no one would be able to step out, not even the PRO," said the source.
Of the 46 nurses, 31 are on the third floor of the building, 15 are on the first floor. There is a state of undeclared war between the two groups. "The 15 on the ground floor are nurses who joined the hospital in January 2014. They have not been paid their salaries so far. They don't want to go back without their money. They have to pay back loans. The 31 on the third floor want out, no matter what," the source told dna. "There's a standoff inside."
The ministry of external affairs says the nurses are safe. The embassy in Iraq is in constant touch with the nurses. MEA refutes reports that the hospital was bombed. MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin told dna, "There is a hospital caretaker the embassy is directly dealing with. We supply the nurses with what they need through this caretaker."
Is the caretaker and the PRO one and the same? The source said he will have to get that confirmed, hinting that it might be the same man. "I spoke to the Indian ambassador just now. He assures me the embassy is in constant touch with the nurses. He spoke to a nurse, identified as Tinsy Thomas, and she has confirmed that the caretaker has delivered money and food to them," Akbaruddin told said.
On Sunday, the MEA said the 100 Indians trapped in Tikrit will be airlifted so safe locations from Tuesday. India is banking on Iraqi forces to free Tikrit by Monday night. What happens next? "Tuesday night Shia militias will enter Tikrit. What will follow will be intense door-to-door fighting between the Shias and the Sunni rebels. It will be every man/woman to himself/herself. There will be blood on the streets. Hard to think anybody will venture in to airlift anybody out," said the source. There is a standoff outside, too.
Around midnight on Sunday, a group of Islamic State rebels climbed up to the terrace of a hospital building and fired in the air to celebrate the return of the Caliphate. The nurses cowered in their rooms. The PRO/caretaker told them to stay calm, that they wouldn't be harmed.
