Pendency of cases in courts across the country has turned out to be a "gigantic problem" with about three crore cases waiting for redressal and the undue delay making people to shy away from justice delivery system, Supreme Court Judge justice SB Sinha said on Saturday.
"Pendency of cases is a gigantic problem which requires immediate attention... due to the undue delay in justice delivery system, people by and large shy away from litigation," he told a a day-long awareness programme for judicial officers of Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, Virudhunagar and Kanyakumari districts on 'alternate dispute redressal system for solving legal problems'.
"We should uphold the maintenance of law and Constitutional values and do not forget that access to justice to everyone should be given utmost preference," justice Sinha, who is the chairman of Mediation and conciliation project committee, said.
Highlighting the importance of alternative dispute redressal system for speedy disposal of cases, he said there were three crore cases pending in courts as of 2008 and this could multiply to 24 crores by 2030.
On judicial reforms for speedy disposal of cases, he said the power of bringing reforms vested with legislators and parliamentarians. While structural reforms required amendment to existing acts, operational reforms can be brought about by judicial officers by change in mindset, he added.
While presenting an overview of the Indian Judicial system, justice Balakrishnan said it consisted of about sanctioned strength of 16,685 judges in the subordinate courts, 886 judges in the High courts and 31 judges in the Supreme Court. "The foremost problem is the immense backlog of cases pending before our courts at all levels," he said, adding "this increase in the volume of litigation can be attributed to improvements in education, socio-economic progress and better awareness of legal rights."
However, "despite the increasing incidence of reliance on the courts, there is a large section of the population which is unable to approach the judicial system on account of factors such as poverty, lack of awareness and entrenched social discrimination," he said.
He noted that the size of the Indian judicial system has not kept up with the massive increase in population.
Studies by bodies such as the Law Commission of India have indicated that there is a need for expanding the size of the lower judiciary by at least five times, in order to match the 'judge-to-population' ratio of the developed countries.
The Chief Justice said there could be so many administrative reforms that could prevent the number of litigation coming to courts.
"In a large number of cases pending in Courts, especially in higher courts, Government is one of the parties either as defendant or as appellant. These litigations are on account of lack of proper governmental administration. If the decision making authorities take firm, independent and impartial decisions, the citizens would not normally be driven to litigations.
"Lack of proper and good governance largely contributes to the number of cases in subordinate courts."
Citing an example, he said weak and inefficient revenue administration, which resulted in poor land rights recording system, was the main reason for the large number of civil litigations.
"If the revenue administration is streamlined and everyone in the country is given proper title deeds with computerised diagrams, a large number of land disputes could be avoided.
"In States where the revenue administration is poor, there are large number of civil cases and these disputes relate either to title or boundaries of their properties and these cases could be avoided, if proper re-survey operations are done and proper revenue records are maintained by the authorities."
Though the country has achieved advancement in science and technology, the fruits of such scientific developments are not being tapped by the police to have investigation in a scientific manner.

CAN'T resist sunbathing despite the risks? It might be more than a habit. That's the suggestion from a study in mice showing that exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes similar affects to drug addiction.
UV exposure significantly increases the risk of skin cancer, which is one of the most common and preventable cancers. Yet rates of this disease are rising faster than any other cancer – by around 3 per cent every year.
David Fisher at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and his colleagues wanted to find out whether frequent tanning behaviour is driven by vanity or a biological addiction.
The team exposed mice to UV light five times a week for six months. Each dose was comparable to a fair-skinned person spending 20 to 30 minutes in Florida's midday sun.
They found that the mice exhibited a response similar to addiction. For a start, they produced more feel-good hormones called beta-endorphins, which bind to opioid receptors – the same receptors that respond to heroin and related drugs (Cell, doi.org/tcq).
They also showed signs of physical dependence, displaying classic withdrawal behaviours, including shaking and chattering teeth.
This means UV light has a more powerful effect than previously thought, says Fisher. "We have a propensity towards seeking the most common carcinogen in the world," he says. There might be a logical explanation. Fisher suggests that our UV light affinity evolved from a need to maintain levels of vitamin D, which the body synthesises using sunlight.
Sunscreen is likely to help prevent UV-addictive behaviours because it protects from exposure, although this wasn't tested in the study. Many researchers are wary of using the word addiction other than for extreme cases of substance abuse.
Tighter control of tanning bed regulation might be in order anyway, Fisher says,"We need to treat it as more than just a cosmetic practice now that we know it is something that can modify behaviour."

In our second edition of our Dreamer Dress Up competition we saw a lot of ingenuity in the way our dreamers took warm weather clothes and changed them into cold weather outfits with Sock Dreams socks and accessories. Here is a peak at our ten favorites, and what they had to say about their outfits.
These first two finalists were very nearly winners. We loved Jennifer's bright colors during this sometimes drab season. Not only did she turn a summer party dress into a great fall outfit, but she kept a little hint of sunshine with her Extraordinary Radiant Rainbows. Lindsay's autumn color choices were a big hit here at Sock Dreams. She kept warm in her spring mini dress with Signature Cotton Tights, O Dreamy Stockings (in a gorgeous color that we, unfortunately, no longer carry), and Harajuku Arm Warmers.
Our next set of finalists had fun with indoor shots. Han had this to say about her outfit, "I love layers and was laying around the house, desperately not wanting to put on outdoor clothes to go get food when the idea struck me: don't change the leggings and tank you are wearing–just throw more stuff on top! This was the result." She knocked it out of the park with Chevron Sleeves and Super Long Ribbed Leg Warmers. Alana was one of our first entries. She made her lace summer dress fall-ready with a long sleeved t-shirt and Long Cuffable Scrunchable Socks. We loved what Whitney had to say about her outfit. "From keeping cool *eating ice cream* to staying cozy *dressed like a sundae*! I bundled up with layered long sleeves & hopped into Sock Dreams' Neapolitan Stripes to keep my legs cozy."
Jessica was used to staying warm in Alabama, when a cold wet spell hit. She couldn't walk her dog in her usual clothing. Her solution? Extraordinary Striped Thigh Highs. Megan says, "Sweet lolita pastels are more commonly associated with Spring, but I like to be able to wear my whole lolita wardrobe year round! " She used our Blue Knees in Pink to coordinate and keep her legs from getting chilled.
And here are our winners! Holly is loving the autumn in her Classic Tie Dyed Striped Knees and Basic Fingerless Gloves. Phoebe is looking cool while staying warm with her Chevron Sleeves and Floral Tights. Candis took her babies Magnolia and Camellia out to enjoy their first snow in her Tie-dye Bamboo OTKs and Bamboo Cable Tights. She kept their tiny toes warm with Picnic Plaid Baby Socks.
All of our finalists received a 10% off coupon code, and our three winners each received a $30 gift code. If you want a chance to win make sure you enter next month's competition. The theme is "Snow Day!" Show us how you bundle up for a wild winter. Click here for a complete set of rules and instructions on how to enter. And don't forget to check out our Newsletter for more details about why we chose our top three. If you haven't signed up for our Newsletter, now's the perfect time to do it!
Last year I showed you folks some "night & day" versions of styles, in honour of the season's change! This year, let's think about the harvest and how some things have to go away so others can grow. This time of year is when we start finding out which styles aren't being made any longer, but it's also the time of year when a lot of things we've been waiting for all summer start being available!
It's always sad to talk about the Zap! Section, because it is full of beloved styles that we won't see again once the last pair leave our doors. So I'll temper it with some new favourites from our What's New category, because though favourites can never be replaced, their memory can always be shared with a new love.
As the mornings get colder, I've been relying more on arm warmers. The Space Dyed Long Perfect Arm Warmers are wonderful for this weather, because they're nice and long and mitt-style! But they're going away, and are only available in Green Zebra now. I think the Flower Field Arm Warmer will be a good replacement for cold hands, as they're nicely long (longer than the Space Dyed Long Perfect Arm Warmers, actually!) and just as beautiful.
I'm seeing more tights too, as folks start layering up against the incoming season. The Midnight Garden Sheer Printed Tights are a great light layer, but they're also in Zap! Another bright, lightweight layer that is new (well, the colour is) are the Codori Crochet Tights in Orchid. The Codori are a classic, but their Orchid version is a new addition and I'm pretty smitten. It's a great pink, and I'm picky about pink!
Speaking of light layers (and refusing to think of the coming winter) nothing is lighter than a sheer anklet. And the little bits of sparkly nothing that are the Shimmer Seashell Sheer Crews are leaving us as quickly as Summer. The Lace Foot Wraps are just as lovely and light and look luscious layered over something a bit warmer.
This is also the time of year when Cronert is rejuvenated and we see some styles going away, like the Tonal Wide Stripe Over the Knees, while others return or are renewed, such as the Multi Stripe Over the Knee.
Some styles we know are going away almost as soon as we get them. We try to note that they won't be around long in the Additional Info on each product page. Terms in the Additional Info on a product page like "Limited Availability" and "Quantities Limited" mean a style isn't long for this socky world. Because sometimes we can get more, they don't always make it into the Zap! Section.
I've put together an Advanced Search for you to spy out these seasonal socks, so they don't slip away! Below are just a few:
• Laced & Lace Top Sheer Knee Highs •
• Lace Topped Over the Knee •
• Melissa Double Net Leggings with Lace Cuff •
But we're always adding new styles! I wish I could show you the thrilling queue of new products we're working on shooting and entering, but I can't, so you'll have to just keep an eye on What's New to make sure you don't miss all the wonderful things that come in as the leaves turn.
Good ol' brown. Now, I mean brown-brown, not tan or beige (which are their own thing in our Color Search). Deep, earthy, bark-like, ranging from cool to warm, brown is a great "neutral" shade for when you don't want to go black or navy or grey.
You'll see, as we look at the different supplier's browns, that there are definitely some dye batch differences that exist within brown, but everybody can fall into a pretty clear family of umbers, chocolates, earthy loams and red. I think in this post, the images of each brand's array of browns is closest to spot-on for colour accuracy.
Brown seems very mutable, and reflects the colours it is next to or knit with quite strongly. See the difference in how the colour presents between the white elastic of the O Chevrons and the black elastic of the B Chevrons below!
Disclaimer time! I'm not trying to define brown. If you want some poem-like lists of names for shades of brown, both Wikipedia and the Color Sorting Wiki are kind of amazing resources. I've done my best to accurately represent these hues in relation to each other, so you can gather a good idea of what matches and what doesn't. That said, let's get down to it!
Dream Stockings
Oops, I forgot to include the Dreamer Socks' Extraordinary Thigh Highs in Dark Brown here, but they're just a touch richer than the Dark Brown in the Dream Stockings styles. Earth is nice and cool-yellow and I love the Coffee nylon hue, so rich!
From left to right: Cotton Slouch Socks, Cotton Slouch Socks, N40s
Ooh boy. Not only does B.Ella offer "Espresso" "Chocolate" and plain ol' "Brown", there's some variation within each colour (both the tights on the far left and far right are "Espresso"). It does mean a gorgeous range of hues, though.
From left to right: Patricia Merino Crochet Tights, Meg Unconstricted Top Crew, Trentata Italian Trouser Sock, Pantera Jersey Dress Midcalf, Gregorio Wool Bootsocks, Vera Recycled Cotton No Show, Bastia Comfort Top Crew, Codori Crochet Tights
Either deep or chocolately-basic, Cronert keeps it simple with two very good representations of brown.
From left to right: Ribbed Wool OTK, Cotton Overknee
EG Smith
EG Smith tries to keep it simple with just a simple "Brownie" and a heather. But, as you can see between the two boot sock styles (with the same fiber content) below, there's variation. We keep our images updated the best we can when dealing with dye batch differences like this. The Sockling and the Solid OTK are pretty much the same hue, on the other hand.
From left to right: Socklings, Solid Over the Knee, EG Smith Original Bootsocks, GoGo Bootsocks, Heather Over the Knee Stockings
Foot Traffic
Not normally one to offer a full range of hues, Foot Traffic brings it home with a pretty selection of browns from loamy to umber to chocolate. The colour variation in Brown between the Opaque Solid Nylon Trouser Socks and the Solid Opaque Thigh Highs seems to be that the former is 80% microfiber nylon and the latter is 90% plain ol' nylon.
From left to right: Super Long Ribbed Leg Warmer, Fleece Lined Knee Highs, Opaque Solid Nylon Trouser Socks, Solid Opaque Thigh High, Signature Cotton Tights, Signature Cotton Tights, Cotton Lace Anklets
Nouvella's colour consistency is a little uneven when it comes to browns, with the widest range between dye batches. Below you can see two different dye batches of the Nouvella Cotton Leggings in Brown. What a difference! We try to catch all changes we can so we can keep our images updated.
For once, Tabbisocks does not dominate a colour with a masterful array! Their brown tends towards maroon (except for their Color Tights, which are nice and cool, a rather umber-y chocolate).
From left to right: Harajuku Arm Warmers, Harajuku Scrunchy Socks, Crochet Lover OTK
Lots of browns show up as single examples across different brands.
From left to right: Spectrum Midcalf, Alpaca Cable Knit Arm Warmers, Celi Hollywood Trouser Socks, Octopus Arm Cozies, Chunky Cable Arm Warmers, Long Orkney Angora Leg Warmers, New Zealand Bed Socks
Okay, after the jump, let's look at the variations within the variations of brown!
As business starts to really pick up for the fall season, we've decided it's about time we started a new tradition around here. For 14 years we've been showing you our socks and how style them, and while we will continue to do so, we think it's about time we recognized the style and talents of our amazing customer base!
In case you didn't catch our latest newsletter, you can check it out here – in it we announced our new monthly contest, guidelines, and gave some examples of the sort of outfit shots we're looking for.
To sum it up, we're now taking submissions for next month's contest, with a theme of Halloween costumes! Please read the following rules; entries that do not follow these cannot be considered.

To receive our newsletters, including those announcing the theme for each successive contest, sign up here! We can't wait to see what you come up with!
What are letters and pictures without numbers and theories? Since last week you started your sock school day with some writing and art, your brain is all warmed up and ready for some science and math!
Science is a broad field that covers a lot of learnin'. There are many "-ologies" ("studies of") out there to nerd out on. I think a lot of folks think of a lab and assorted fiddly bits when presented with the word "science", but in actuality there's a lot more there. Studying dinosaurs is science. Maybe it is the best science.
• Mad Science Knee High •
• T-Rex Midcalf •
Let's start with a field that isn't an "-ology" but whatever. Astronomy is the study of celestial objects, all that weird and beautiful star stuff. What they're made of, where they're going, how they interact with each other and us—it's a science that isn't that intimidating, because not only are the stars always with us, but amateur astronomers have been vital parts of many major discoveries.
• Constellation Midcalf •
• Space Knee High •
• Planets Knee High •
Another thing that is always with us, like it or not, are insects and that's what entomology studies! From obviously useful insect friends, like bees, to what a lot of us consider pests, entomology investigates insects from their smallest parts to the greatest expanse of their social structures and their place in the ecosystem. I know somebody who did their doctoral work on the iridescence of beetle carapaces and that is a pretty awesome thing.
• Bee's Knees Knee High •
• All Over Bug Midcalves •
From land to sea, marine biology studies the critters (a very scientific term) that live in the ocean and other non-fresh water places. Like bugs and space, you get to look at some weird monsters and beautiful creatures that we share the world with.
• Jellyfish Knee High •
• Kid's Shark Midcalf •
• Mouthy Fish 3-D Socks •
Of course, both entomology and marine biology are subsets of plain ol' biology, the natural science of life and living stuff. There are five natural sciences: astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth sciences and physics. When it comes to socks, synthetic fibers, like Coolmax, have chemistry to thank. How socks stay up is directly connected to physics (and sock glue) and as for the earth sciences, socks—well, socks rock.
Natural science is one of the "empirical sciences", while mathematics is classed as a "formal science". You may now picture your favourite number dressed up as James Bond.
• Tuxedo Midcalf •
• Martini Midcalf •
Though we use math all the time with socks (they come to us in packs of six, which means I'm very good at my six-times tables), they're not as easy to integrate into mathematics.
Well, they do divide themselves more often than we'd like, leaving one in the dryer and one off exploring the depths of space or something. If you don't like your socks doing division, using a hosiery bag for washing should keep them prime (get it, indivisible?!). The brand Soxks even includes a wash bag with each pair!
• In The Bath Midcalf •
• Lace Hosiery Bag •
• Black Sheep Midcalf •
Now, I know a lot of folks wish their sock collection could multiply, but there's an easy way to do that. Multi packs!
• Rainbow Cat No Show 2 Pack •
• Heather Animal Print No Show 6 Pack •
From two packs to six, buying more socks at once not only multiplies your styles, but is also a formula for savings, since they're often less per pair when packaged together.
There are no sciences like the sock sciences (both natural and formal). Now that you've been sock schooled, I hereby deem you professors of socks! Just in time for the new school year. May all your learning be as useful and fun as socks can be.

JOHNSONBURG – In the wake of the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Johnsonburg Area School District [JASD], like most school districts across the United States, continues to review their safety measures and procedures.
"Our school district has a crisis plan which we constantly are reviewing to ensure the safety of our students, faculty, and support staff," said JASD Superintendent Dennis Crotzer. "My administrative staff has reviewed this plan with their staffs after the unfortunate school shooting in Connecticut.
Gun sales and permit applications are up in Elk County and nationwide, sources say, following the shooting incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. last Friday that left 20 children and six adults dead at the school.
Elk County Chief Deputy Sheriff Theresa Merritt said applications for gun permits, which are processed through the sheriff's office, have gone up over the last few years but did not increase significantly since Friday.
Following last week's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left nearly 30 people dead, many of them children, an increased focus has been placed on the issue of gun control. With guns at the forefront of national discussion, an equally important issue-- providing adequate help for those with mental health issues-- has been overshadowed.

Down two of its best players and a third playing hurt, Newton-Conover lost a heartbreaking 2-1 conference soccer contest Tuesday to rival South Iredell.
The CVAC loss is the Red Devils' first in conference play since Oct. 25, 2010 against West Caldwell.
The St. Stephens volleyball team avenged a loss earlier this season with a victory against Watauga on Tuesday 25-23, 22-25, 27-25 and 25-21.
The win by the Lady Indians ties them atop the Northwestern 3A/4A with the Lady Pioneers (11-5, 6-1).
Jenna Boliek led Saint (15-1, 7-1) with 14 kills and 12 digs. Breanna Hall added 12 kills and three blocks, while Marisa Jones had six kills.
The CVCC volleyball team continued its roll so far this season on Tuesday, knocking off Johnson and Wales University in three-straight sets 26-24, 25-16 and 26-24.
Jennifer Beatty led CVCC (14-0, 6-0) with 10 kills, while Leah Watts added seven kills and four aces.

Ryan Tedder denies that Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" is nothing more than a rip-off of Beyoncé's "Halo."
Like many, Kelly recently told MTV News that she thinks both songs sound a lot a like, and she's hot about it, too.
"No one's gonna be sittin' at home, thinkin' 'Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to,' " she said. "No, they're just gonna be sayin' I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said, 'I don't understand. Why would you do that?'"
Ryan openly disagreed with her opinion in a statement, arguing that both songs were completely independent works of his. "'Already Gone' is one of the best song I've written or produced since 'Bleeding Love' and stands tall on it's own merits apart from 'Halo,'" he said.
Both "Halo" and "Already Gone" feature driving piano melodies with drums providing a slow back beat, but in Ryan's opinion, the parallels end there.
"They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically and lyrically and I would never try to dupe an artist such as Kelly Clarkson or Beyoncé into recording over the same musical track, the idea is both hurtful and absurd."
"I challenge people to listen and form their own opinions," he defiantly added. Well, we're letting you take him up on that offer below. We won't comment on whether we think Ryan tricked the divas, but let us know what you think.
Here's "Halo:"
Here's "Already Gone:"

Article Summary
What do hemp, mushrooms, milk and straw have in common? They're just a few of the things that have been used to create "green" composite materials, in which most or all of the usual petroleum by-products are replaced by more environmentally-friendly substances. Now, thanks to two separate studies, it looks like peat and beets can be added to that list.

PH records highest download for games, apps, says survey
More News from Julliane Love de Jesus
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines has recorded the highest download for games and apps (applications) among countries in Southeast Asia, according to a recent survey that provides a regional and country-specific insight into mobile Internet usage.
"The Philippines has the highest download for games and apps in Southeast Asia with almost 80% of the users having downloaded a game or app last month," said the Mobile Internet Consumer Report – Southeast Asia 2013, which was released by Vserv.mobi, a Global Mobile Ad network and emailed to media.
However, the survey said that the Philippines' downloads for videos and music were "relatively lower than the Southeast Asia average" at 39 percent and 30 percent respectively.
The survey also said that:
* Within Southeast Asia, the Philippines has the highest proportion of mobile Internet users in the 18-24 year age category;
* The Philippines has a significantly larger pool of graduate and post-graduate mobile Internet users (54%), compared to Southeast Asia (36%);
* Mobile internet users in the Philippines have a keen interest to learn about brands (46%) through mobile, slightly higher than the region's average (36%);
* Ownership of consumer durables is the highest among mobile Internet users in the Philippines (48%); and
* Mobile Internet users in Philippines enjoy shopping, with three out of every four having visited a mall or market in the last month.
The two-week survey in July 2013 was conducted on over 3,000 mobile and app users from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
According to the same report ( http://vserv.mobi/insights ), the Southeast Asian mobile Internet user is young, employed and possesses a high spending power.

Course Overview
The Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals (REACH) Essentials course is designed to provide industry professionals with not only an overview of the new EU chemicals policy, but also the essential tools for compliance to its requirements. While this one-day course assumes that attendees bring with them minimal knowledge of the Regulation, it offers attendees the opportunity to address specific specialized topics, including formulating registration dossiers and chemical safety reports in addition to understanding changes in SDS. The emphasis of the course will be predominately topics of interest to industry professionals such as the registration process, requirements for downstream-users, data sharing, and documentation. In light of the complexity of REACH's scope and staggered implementation dates for its provisions, the course will include a comprehensive discussion on the Regulation's timeline and applicability as well as any affected legislation. The REACH Essentials course is focused on the regulation itself and specifically addresses REACH requirements in terms of the regulatory text. Upon conclusion of the course, students should be able to competently navigate the intricate web of definitions, implementation schedules, and requisite documentation required for compliance to REACH.
Typically offered on consecutive days, REACH Essentials and REACH Practical Implementation, when taken together, provide attendees with the necessary tools to begin implementing compliance to this very intricate and complex regulation. While not required, it is recommended that attendees take REACH Essentials prior to the Practical Implementation course.

Somewhere over the last 40 years or so, this purple wig-wearing R&B pioneer dropped his slavish Wynonie Harris imitations and became his own man, learning how to play piano to boot. His long-overdue debut album joyously recalls the heyday of jump blues via salacious rockers like "Meatloaf" and "Shake Your Apple Tree." Ferguson's young band, the Medicine Men, do a fine job of laying down exciting grooves behind the singer. ~ Bill Dahl

26.04.07 - Happy Birthday, Ulli Wegner. The charismatic Sauerland coach, who has guided Sven Ottke, Markus Beyer and Arthur Abraham to world titles, turns 65 today. But even at an age where others seriously ponder retirement, Wegner is far from calling it a career. "I have not thought a single second about hanging up the gloves," he said. "I love what I do and I need the daily work. I am still keen to accomplish something special. I want my boxers to be the best."
Wegner, who enjoys a two-day mini-break at the East Sea, has developed close ties with all of his boxers. His leaderships skills have been praised more often than just once - he is a coach, father, teacher and dictator all at the same time. "Authority is key," he said. "Without it, nothing would work in this sport. But confidence is just as important." His athletes are full of praise for him. "He´s a doctor of boxing," cruiserweight Marco Huck lauded. And IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham added: "He is certainly a special human being. We have a very close and an extremely good relationship."
There is nothing Wegner hates more than losing - the "worst possible punishment", as he calls is. The star coach is known for his meticulous fight preparations. That´s where his East German background comes into play. "Apart from my discipline, the well-structured training plans which basically organise the whole day are key to top performances," he said. He should know - he made 176 fights as an East German amateur before turning coach all the way back in 1971.
Like many of his compatriots, Wegner faced a period of uncertainty when the wall came down in 1989 and was fortunate to keep working as a coach - unlike most of his colleagues. His success continued as he helped Sven Ottke to European amateur glory in 1991 and 1995 and also won Olympic medals with Thomas Ulrich and Oktay Urkal in Atlanta. After the 1996 Olympics he joined Sauerland Event and guided Sven Ottke to the IBF super middleweight title as well as the WBA crown. When the Phantom, unbeaten in 34 professional fights, called it a career in March 2004, Wegner had tears in his eyes. The success story would continue, though. Markus Beyer, who first became world champion back in 1999 when he defeated Richie Woodhall, regained his crown for a third time and Arthur Abraham also made a name of himself by winning the IBF middleweight belt at the age of 25.

I couldn't agree more! I am so disappointed with this decision:( It doesn't make any sense to me at all. It's bad enough that Michael wasn't hired to act as the voice of Sam (and the reason why is absolutely insulting and ridiculous) but they made Sam move and talk like a 20-30 year old! They are destroying this franchise IMO. Maybe the game will be good, but that doesn't even matter any more. They f'd the story and legacy of Sam Fisher up so badly...
They SHOULD have had a new Splinter Cell as the main character and have Sam (Michael Ironside) play an Operations Coordinator role and be the voice in the ears of the "new guy". Seriously, Fuk the new creative director for destroying this once amazing character and series!

There's a rumour that M. Ironside didn't like playing the part of Sam Fisher. That he did it for the money. This rumour is backed up quite satisfactorily by interviews.
Be glad he did 4 good games as Sam Fisher.

Yeah I don't buy the reason they gave that they wanted to use someone younger for motion capture. In Halo 4, they just recorded the VA's work over the actors. I would have preferred to see us play as someone new with Sam as your commanding officer - it would've made sense

I like the idea of Sam leading Fourth Echelon, but it's really time for him to quit field work. They showed with Archer and Kestral that they can make new characters that are still interesting. This game should have had you play as a new Splinter Cell recruit, with Sam filling the same role that Lambert had in the other games (that way they would even be able to keep Ironside, and it makes more sense than a near 60-year-old man who's the LEADER OF THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION doing field work)

Pro chemistry is a key element in Olympic hockey
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Although Corey Perry can tell Ryan Getzlaf what to do with a nod of his head after nearly 11 years together, Getzlaf usually doesn't even have to look at Perry to know where he's going on the ice.
Their chemistry was built while spending their entire pro careers as teammates and linemates in the Anaheim Ducks organization, but Canada is about to get the benefit in Sochi.
"It's huge to play with somebody you know in the Olympics," Getzlaf said. "We don't have time to get to know everybody as players, because it's too short of a tournament. When you already have that chemistry, it can be a big advantage. I already know how (Perry) plays the game, and so we try to play it the same way over there."
Every coach acknowledges there's just no time to build a real team during the frantic 12-day, 12-team Olympic men's hockey tournament. Once the jetlagged NHL players finally convene in Russia on Monday, they'll get only a couple of practices together before play begins Wednesday night.
That's why many nations selected their rosters with chemistry already built in. Teammates from around the NHL, Russia's Kontinental Hockey League and Europe's domestic leagues are heading to Sochi under the same flag, hoping their long-term bond will pay off in the Olympic sprint.
"I think you know what to expect from one another, and you can just go out there and know what the other guy is going to do," said Chicago captain Jonathan Toews, who will play for Canada with fellow Blackhawks Patrick Sharp and Duncan Keith.
"I think it's an adjustment enough to be playing on that Olympic sheet, with the time change and all the other things you want to throw in the pot. Being around guys you play with every day is a big bonus when you're trying to play your best hockey."
Nobody has embraced togetherness like Sweden, which had six players from the Detroit Red Wings on its initial Olympic roster. When Johan Franzen was ruled out with a concussion, he was replaced by a seventh Detroit Swede — and Gustav Nyquist happens to be Henrik Zetterberg's left wing.
Sweden also selected defensemen Johnny Oduya and Niklas Hjalmarsson, who play together in Chicago. Twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin were obvious choices as well, although Henrik's bruised ribs will keep him home in Vancouver.
"If you look at how the team was picked, there are a lot of guys who have chemistry," Zetterberg said. "The more you are familiar with the guys you're going to play with, the easier it is in a tournament like this. We'll basically have one practice — maybe two — before the games begin. For Sweden, our team doesn't change too much between tournaments, and I think that'll help us."
While Sweden has built a roster founded on NHL bonds, Canada has its own connections beyond Getzlaf and Perry. Vancouver Olympics hero Sidney Crosby is traveling to Sochi with Chris Kunitz, who plays on his left wing in Pittsburgh. Canada's defense also includes Jay Bouwmeester and Alex Pietrangelo, fresh from their day jobs as the St. Louis Blues' top pairing.

This column was originally published on RealMoney on Sept. 20 at 2:11 p.m. EST. It's being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.
It could be argued that it makes no sense to take on single-stock risk if the stock in question can't beat its sector index. A case in point would be the technology sector.
In the last three years, investors have not been rewarded for the extra risk taken by owning individual large-cap tech stocks, particularly the largest.
The chart below compares the biggest Nasdaq tech stocks, along with IBM (IBM - Get Report), to the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Technology Sector Index Fund (IYW).All of the stocks charted are what are referred to as mega-cap stocks -- companies greater than $100 billion in market cap (Dell used to be at $100 billion, but it's now back down to $82 billion). There are 18 companies in the S&P 500 with a cap greater than $100 billion. Of them, 13 have lagged their respective sectors over the last three years. None of the five that beat their sector was a tech stock.
All parts of the market have their day in the sun; for mega-caps, that day was during the late 1990s. Since then, small-cap has outperformed large-cap. There is some market history behind this idea: large-cap typically outperforms as a bull market matures. Admittedly, the last few years have been unusual as small-cap has led, yet we still may have a bear market sooner, rather than later, as the current cyclical bull is long by historical standards. At some point in the future, mega-caps will provide leadership and it will make sense for the average cap size of a diversified portfolio to be larger than the average of the S&P 500, which is $90 billion. So at some point taking single-stock risk in this part of the market will be rewarded, but I do not see any immediate visibility for this now. If this line of thinking makes sense to you, one of the tech sector ETFs would make a good proxy for the group. Again, the idea here is that if stock selection in the bigger caps will likely result in returns that only match the sector, the potential reward does not justify the risk taken.
|The Big Names in Tech vs. the Sector
Over the past three years, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco and Dell have trailed their sector, as represented here by ETF IYW.
|Source: BigCharts.com
This strategy lends itself well to areas of the market that don't usually pay high dividends, like technology or small-caps. If a stock provides sector-matching price appreciation with triple the dividend of a sector fund, owning the stock may make more sense. Most tech stocks have very little or no dividends, so the focus becomes mostly about expected price appreciation in a stock vs. the rest of the sector. In blending together the tech portion of a portfolio, it makes sense to have exposure to different cap sizes and different parts of the sector. For example, eBay (EBAY) would not necessarily correlate that closely to F5 Networks (FFIV), but they are both tech stocks.

Monday, June 18, 2007, a furniture store in South Carolina caught fire.
Firefighters rushed to the scene to put out the blaze and look for
anyone who might still be trapped in inside.
Nine firefighters were trapped in the burning building while searching
for others. When parts of the building collapsed, they died that night.
The fire took the lives of the most firefighters in one event since the tragedy
of September 11, 2001. Like all firefighters, these men knew that their
job was a risky one. Despite the risks, each of them was dedicated
to taking care of people and property as their primary duty.
Not everyone is cut out for such a risky job. But, preventing fires
and knowing how to safely escape them is everyone's
During this week's lesson, you will need to make sure you have sound
speakers turned on (or have headphones handy) for the Web sites you
will visit. As you explore these sites, you will discover how fires
at home and other places can be avoided. You will also learn how to
go about making a fire escape plan and other helpful tips and skills
for keeping you and your loved ones safe from fire hazards.
Begin your lesson by visiting
the U.S.
Fire Administration for Kids.
Start with learning about Home Fire Safety. Read the introduction,
and then click to the next page. As you go through the pages, think
about what hot spots—like lamps,
stoves, and other sources—you have in your own home and school. Write a list for each place to refer to later.
To make sure you avoid starting a fire by accident, what activities
should you only do with adult supervision? What objects should you
never touch? What can you do
to help adults also prevent accidental fires, like reminding adults of safety rules? Why do you think improper
use of electricity can ignite a fire?
When you are done going through the Home Fire Safety learning pages,
test your knowledge by taking the quiz.
read about the importance of Smoke Alarms. How does a
smoke alarm warn you that a fire may burning close by? How many smoke
alarms does your home have? Find out the last time someone
tested them to make sure they were working, and if the batteries have
been replaced lately.
At the end, test your knowledge with the quiz.
You may also wish to make a monthly chart to help track regular smoke
alarm testing in your household.
Okay, so now you have an idea of how to prevent a fire in your home,
but what if a fire starts anyway? What should you do?
To find out, explore the site's Escaping From Fire section.
Why is it so vital to have a plan worked out before a fire ignites?
Why do you think you need two escape routes planned for every room?
In your own words, write down the seven steps to help your family make
an escape plan. Draw pictures for each step, if you would like. Then,
test your knowledge with the quiz.
Now that you have studied fire prevention and escape, under the Fun & Games
section, click the last button to Become a Jr. Fire Marshal.
After answering all of the questions correctly, print and complete
your certificate. If you want to later, print out other Fun & Games
activities to do with your family and friends.
you will get into more detail about how to make and practice your household's
fire safety plan.
Join Mrs. Aboutfire, the Fire Lobster, Flip the Fire Monkey, and
the fireflies in The
"Great Escape" Game at the Staying Alive Web site.
In this game, it is your job to help Fire Lobster escape from his bedroom.
If you have time, play the game more than once, making different decisions
to see what might happen.
To prepare for making your own home plan, visit the Kid
Zone and click
Escape Plan. Select and print the floor plan (in PDF) that
is most like yours. Once you have printed one as a sample, you
can use that to help you draw your exact floor
plan, if needed. Also visit the Fire Safety section's Home
Escape Plan page. Here, you will find more detailed
tips for completing the plan.
To get an even better idea of how to figure out a plan that will work for your home, visit Sparky

Fun pages, where you can Escape
with the Miller Family to see exactly how they worked together
to develop their home fire safety plan. Make sure to also Hunt
for Home Hazards, so that you can help your family prevent
fires from starting in the first place.
Take the floor plan home and work with your other
household members to figure out a plan of action in case of fire.

In current issues of Cincinnati.com find
news stories about fires in homes or businesses. Choose one story and
read it carefully. You may find follow-up articles useful, as
they often contain more details as investigators pick through clues
after the fire has been put out. Use a highlighting pen to mark key
events in the fire's progression and people's responses to the fire.
Once you have highlighted phrases of the story, write out a timeline
of events on notebook or other paper. As possible, use the details
you glean from news story to draw illustrations of each key event.
Using what you have discovered through your research, draw a comic
book-like story board to show how the fire event unfolded. If you want,
end the story board by including some fire safety tips or skills
you have learned during your training as a Jr. Fire Marshal.

Joyce Chen (Chinese: 廖家艾; pinyin: Liào Jiā'ài; Wade–Giles: Liao Chia-ai, September 14, 1917 – August 23, 1994) was a Chinese chef, restaurateur, author, television personality, and entrepreneur.
Joyce Chen was credited with popularizing northern-style Chinese cuisine in the United States, coining the name "Peking Raviolis" for potstickers, inventing and holding the patent to the flat bottom wok with handle (also known as a stir fry pan), and developing the first line of bottled Chinese stir fry sauces for the US market. Starting in 1958, she operated several popular Chinese restaurants in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Joyce Chen died of Alzheimer's disease in 1994; since then, her accomplishments and influence on American cuisine have been honored by the US Postal Service and the city of Cambridge.
Early life[edit]
Born in Beijing to a high ranking family in the Qing dynasty,[1] Chen and husband Thomas with their children Henry and Helen left Shanghai in 1949 as the Communists were taking over the country.[2] Chen and her family ultimately settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where her son Stephen was born.[2]
In her book, Joyce Chen Cook Book, she said that she grew up with a family chef who left to cook for her father's friend, "Uncle Li," who became the Chinese ambassador to Russia. At that point her mother and her governess cooked the family meals, and Joyce Chen watched, and she learned.[1]
In 1958, Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant, "Joyce Chen Restaurant", at 617 Concord Avenue in Cambridge. According to her son Stephen, here she pioneered the all-you-can-eat Chinese dinner buffet to boost sales on otherwise slow Tuesday and Wednesday nights. She also used the buffet format to allow customers to sample unfamiliar but authentic dishes at a pace of their own choosing.[3] She promoted healthy Chinese cooking, and refused to use Red Dye No. 2 and other food coloring in her restaurants.[citation needed]
Chen introduced Bostonians to Northern Chinese (Mandarin) and Shanghainese dishes, including Peking duck, moo shu pork, hot and sour soup, and potstickers, which she call "Peking Ravioli" or "Ravs".[4] The first restaurant remained open until 1971. Members of Bolt, Beranek and Newman's IMP team, when they were working on the first IMPs to create the ARPANET in 1969, would eat Chen's food at her restaurant, which was located next door[5] to BBN.[6]
Joyce Chen's second restaurant, "The Joyce Chen Small Eating Place", was opened in 1967 on Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square, located between Harvard University and MIT. Joyce Chen's son, Stephen Chen, also noted that the opening of this restaurant changed the landscape of the Central Square area in Cambridge MA. Up until then, it was a retail and industrial area, dominated by the NECCO (New England Confectionary Company)factory. People lined up to get Chen's Chinese food at this small restaurant, which seated 60 people. According to Stephen Chen, at this restaurant his mother introduced the Northern style of Dim Sum, and the now popular "Soup Dumplings" (Shao Long Bao). This restaurant was very popular with computer hackers.[7][8] It closed in 1988.
In 1970, Joyce Chen opened her third restaurant, a much larger space seating 500 people, in an existing building located on Memorial Drive in Cambridge. This restaurant benefited from its proximity to MIT and Harvard. However, this restaurant was required to close in 1973, and the building was demolished so that the MIT dorm Next House could be built on the site.
In 1973, Joyce Chen opened her fourth restaurant in a modernist custom-designed building at 390 Rindge Avenue, near Fresh Pond.[9] This restaurant, also called "Joyce Chen Restaurant", seated 263. It operated for 25 years, closing in 1998.[10][11]
Joyce Chen was a warm hostess who formed relationships with many guests, including John Kenneth Galbraith, James Beard, Julia Child, Henry Kissinger, Beverly Sills, and Danny Kaye.[12] A former Harvard president called her eating establishment "not merely a restaurant, but a cultural exchange center".[9]
Career highlights[edit]
Following the 1958 opening of her first restaurant, in 1960 Joyce Chen began teaching Chinese cooking at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education and the Boston Center for Adult Education. There were waiting lists for her classes. At this time, she introduced many Americans to home style and gourmet Chinese cooking techniques.
In 1962, Joyce Chen published her influential cookbook, The Joyce Chen Cook Book.[1] Publishers had balked at her insistence on color pictures of food, so she had the book published privately at her own expense.[12] She pre-sold over 6,000 copies of her book at her restaurants before the book was printed.[12] MSG was popular at the time, and was included in most of the recipes.[1]
In 1967, Joyce Chen starred in her own cooking show called Joyce Chen Cooks, on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).[13] Twenty-six episodes were filmed on the same set as The French Chef (featuring Julia Child) in the studios of WGBH in Boston.[14] The show aired in the US, as well as the United Kingdom and Australia. Celebrity chef Ming Tsai later said of Joyce Chen, "She is the Chinese Julia Child [...] Joyce Chen helped elevate what Chinese food was about. She didn't dumb it down. She opened people's eyes to what good Chinese could taste like."[3]
With a spirit of adventure, according to her son Stephen Chen, in 1968 Joyce Chen took her then 16-year-old son Stephen, and 20-year-old daughter Helen on a trip around the world on Pan Am Flight 001. Joyce Chen, Stephen, and Helen also traveled to China in 1972, the same year that President Nixon first visited China. A PBS documentary on this trip was produced. Soon after Joyce Chen's China aired, she and her family were the victims of a home invasion by five intruders who had seen the film, according to her son Stephen Chen.[15]
In 1971, Joyce Chen launched a line of Chinese cooking utensils.[3] At that time she helped popularize and held the patent to the flat bottom wok with a handle, also known as a stir fry pan,[2][3] and sold polyethylene cutting boards (Sumitomo Bakelite).[2] In 1982, "Joyce Chen Specialty Foods" was formed to sell bottled sauces.
According to Stephen Chen, in 1976 Joyce Chen suffered a serious injury to her right hand when she dropped a large glass jar that contained her stir fry sauce. She underwent four to five hours of microsurgery, but never fully recovered the use of her right hand.
Chen was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1985 [16] and succumbed to it in 1994.[12]
Posthumously in 1998, Joyce Chen's contributions to cuisine were described in Beard House, The Magazine of the James Beard Foundation.[17] In September 2012, the city of Cambridge held their first "Festival of Dumplings" in Central Square to honor Joyce Chen's birthday.[18][19] There have since been dumpling festivals in 2013 and 2014.[20] The New York Historical Society exhibit, Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion (September 26, 2014 - April 19, 2015) reviews the history of the Chinese in America, and features Joyce Chen's contributions.[21]
On September 26, 2014, the US Postal Service issued 20 million copies of the "Celebrity Chefs Forever" stamp series, which featured portraits by Jason Seiler of five American chefs: Joyce Chen, Julia Child, James Beard, Edna Lewis, and Felipe Rojas-Lombardi.[22] According to the Postal Service, "Joyce Chen is one of the great popularizers of Chinese food. From her landmark restaurant in the Boston area to her cookbooks and trailblazing PBS television show, Chen invited newcomers to sample unfamiliar dishes in ways that firmly establlished Chinese cuisine in the United States."[23]
Joyce Chen's son Stephen Chen is president of Joyce Chen Foods, Inc., which sells products inspired by Joyce Chen's recipes, including Asian sauces, oils, condiments, spices and frozen potstickers.[24] Daughter Helen Chen markets "Helen's Asian Kitchen" products for Harold Import Company.[25][26] She also has written three cookbooks of her own.[27] Son Henry Chen (d. 2007) owned "Joyce Chen Unlimited", a retail store in Acton, Massachusetts, which closed in March 2008.[28]
Many Joyce Chen disciples still own and run Boston area Chinese restaurants.[4] Among them is Pui Chan at "The Wok" in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Chan worked for Chen starting in 1976 at the Alewife location. Chan opened his own restaurant with Chen's encouragement in 1978.[29]

Chateau Kirwan 2008
Bordeaux Red Blends from Margaux, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
The 2008 reveals a beautiful aromatic complexity that combines fruits such as currants or cherry ripe, and sweet spice and vanilla. The attack is fresh, slightly minty and flexible. The tannins gradually give body and support a long finish that is finely wooded. It is certain that the wine will cellar well to provide more enjoyment in coming years.
Blend: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Petit Verdot
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Although this big, boldly-styled Kirwan is less concentrated than some recent vintages have been, it is an impressive effort revealing a dense ruby/purple color as well as aromas of new oak, black currants, roasted herbs, and graphite. Full and rich with plenty of tannin to shed, although the tannins are melted and unaggressive (fondu as the French would say), this 2008 should evolve for two decades or more. Range: 88-90"
Wine Enthusiast - "Caramel new wood aromas are followed by spice and toast flavors. The fruit seems thin by comparison, hard to feel under all that polished toast.
Barrel Sample: 88-90 Points"
Château Kirwan Winery
Château Kirwan is located on the plateau of Cantenac with some of the finest gravelly soil in the Médoc. Kirwan is exquisitely elegant, well-structured and typical of the very finest in the Margaux appellation.
The vines are thinned out in order to encourage maximum concentration and ripeness in the grapes. These are hand-picked and carefully sorted before being crushed. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and then aged in oak barrels (35% of which are renewed every year) for 18 months.
Château Kirwan takes its name from the Irishman, Mark Kirwan, who owned the estate in the mid 18th century. The Schÿler family has owned Kirwan since 1925. View all Château Kirwan Wines
About MargauxView a map of Margaux wineries (mahr-GOH)
Soft, elegant, feminine… these are words often used to describe the wines of Margaux. The commune is different from its northern neighbors of the Haut-Médoc in both geography and style. Home to the name-sharing premier cru, Margaux lays a few marshlands south of St.-Julien.
Notable FactsAs in other Medoc appellations, Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blends of the region, but the percentage of Merlot in Margaux's wines is higher than other left bank communes. Add that to a diverse soil, lighter than that in the north, and you have a softer, more voluptuous wine. In the best years, wines of Margaux are delicate, elegant and refined - structured, but not austere. Chateau Margaux is, of course, a first growth and a highly esteemed and sought-after wine. Chateau Palmer, a third growth, is also well-respected and often commands prices equivalent of first growths. Look for Cru Bourgeois if you want to try the finesse of Margaux at a lower price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Cook the haddock and salmon in seasoned milk (onion, carrot, bay leaf, peppercorns and two cloves) until cooked.
Remove from the milk and, when cool enough to handle, flake the fish, discarding any skin or bone. Combine the haddock with the potato, butter, onions and anchovy essence in a mixer with a dough hook, then fold in the salmon, eggs, parsley and dill by hand until well combined (do not overmix).
Season to taste. If the mixture is too dry at this point add some of the haddock poaching milk.
Divide the mixture into four equal amounts. Dip in the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs and shape into patties. Refrigerate for two hours before use. Pan-fry in butter for five minutes each side, then keep warm in the oven.
Melt the 15g/1oz unsalted butter in a shallow pan. Once the butter is hot and foaming add the spinach and gently heat until the leaves have wilted. Remove from the heat and roughly chop the leaves.
To make the sorrel sauce, heat the fish stock until it has reduced by half, add the cooked sorrel and cream and gently heat until warmed through. Serve the fishcake on a bed of spinach and pour the sorrel sauce over the top.

Riesling, Pinot Noir and Rose are the best wines to pair with Salmon and Haddock Fishcake on Buttered Spinach with Sorrel Sauce.
