In 1927, Georges Simenon, the phenomenally prolific Belgian author of crime novels, helped engineer a publicity stunt that sounds like a forecast of reality TV: He sat in a glass booth and wrote a novel in a week, in full view of the public. Simenon was all but unknown then, a journeyman author of indifferent pulp novelettes under a variety of pseudonyms. The feat made him famous, became the first thing many people knew about him. It was certainly the first thing I ever knew about him—I heard the story from my father, who at the time of the performance was growing up a few miles from Simenon's hometown of Liège. No one who witnessed the feat forgot it. Pierre Assouline, in his 1997 biography of Simenon, quotes from no fewer than four memoirs by acquaintances of the novelist, recalling the surging crowds, the

Tuesday Afternoon Federal Newscast - April 27

The Afternoon Federal Newscast is a daily compilation of the stories you hear Daily
- Senators questioned Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about the ramifications of Arizona's tough new immigration law when she appeared for an oversight hearing. The Senate Judiciary Committee already had planned the hearing for the Homeland Security Department. Last week Arizona's governor signed a law requiring police to question people about their immigrant status if they suspect they are in the U.S. Illegally. Napolitano's department oversees border security. President Barack Obama has called the new law "misguided."
- The American-led effort to gain control of southern Afghanistan is off to a slow start and the political clock is ticking as U.S. troops head into what could be the bloodiest fight yet in the eight-year war. The U.S. and its NATO allies last week set a goal of starting to transfer control of Afghanistan to the central government by the end of the year, and President Barack Obama has said U.S. troops must start leaving in 2011. But the slow pace of progress makes it less likely Obama can meet these tight deadlines, and it's not clear if he can buy more time: He has struggled to persuade Congress to commit troops based on the current schedule. The expanded U.S. campaign began in late winter in the small farming hamlets of Marjah, in Helmand Province, and has advanced more slowly than expected, officials said.
- More and more Americans are interacting with local, state and federal government offices online. They are turning to the Web to renew driver's licenses and car registrations, to apply for hunting and fishing permits, to pay parking tickets and other fines and even to track campaign contributions and stimulus spending, according to a study being released Tuesday. In a survey of more than 2,000 American adults conducted in late 2009, the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 82 percent of Internet users _ or 61 percent of American adults _ had looked up information or completed a transaction on a government Web site over the previous year.
- The U.S. military lost contact with an experimental hypersonic glider after it was launched by a rocket on a test flight over the Pacific Ocean last week, a defense agency said. The Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-2 was launched Thursday from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., and was supposed to separate from the booster at an altitude of several hundred thousand feet and then autonomously glide at 13,000 mph to a splashdown in a sea range near Kwajalein Atoll, 2,500 miles southwest of Hawaii. The separation did occur, according to a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency statement.
- Four U.S. senators want Facebook to make it easier for its more than 400 million users to protect their privacy as the website develops new outlets to share personal information. The call for simpler privacy controls came in a letter that the senators planned to send Tuesday to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The Associated Press obtained a draft of the letter signed by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo; Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska; and Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.

The THRIVE line of food storage is known for its outstanding quality and extended shelf life. Kept in dry, mild conditions, the items in this package will last 25 years, ensuring that your food storage supply will be ready whenever you need it. To learn more about the shelf life of your foods, along with nutritional facts and other helpful information, simply click on any item's name to view the product page in another window.
We know you'll love the taste and reliability of the Berry 6-Pack from Shelf Reliance.
Total Servings: 215
Total Calories: 6,225
Package Contents
The Berry 6-Pack includes gallon-sized cans of freeze dried foods in the following quantities:
Storage Conditions
Temperature: Storing THRIVE at a high temperature can significantly increase the speed that calories and vitamins will degrade over time. In the correct storage container, low-moisture foods such as THRIVE can be stored at room temperature or cooler (75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) and remain nutritious and edible for years. Our stated shelf life assumes that the product will be stored in optimal conditions.
Humidity: The effects of humidity on a closed can are caused by heat and very similar to the effects of high temperature (see above). High humidity can corrode the cans and in some cases even cause the cans to leak. Areas with high humidity can reduce the opened shelf life of the product. As humidity varies with location please use your own discretion to prevent possible sickness from eating spoiled food.
Damaged Container: Minor dents in the center of the can are usually just a cosmetic issue. However, a can that has been dented near or on a seam can have a compromised air-tight seal and allow oxygen to enter the can. If this is the case we recommend using the dented can within the specified opened shelf life, rather than closed.
The best way to maintain the highest quality of your THRIVE products is to take care of them. If you intend on storing your food for the sealed shelf life, store the cans in a place that is not open to elements such as water, light, and air. Take care of it. Don't expose it unnecessarily to the elements. Also, be sure to keep the temperature and humidity low and even. Under these proper storing situations your THRIVE will maintain its delicious taste, natural coloring, and proper nutrients.

Don't start with the Justin Verlander on three days' rest stuff
Oct 27, 2012, 11:53 PM EDT
Tigers ace Justin Verlander gave up five runs in four innings against the Giants in Game 1 of the World Series.
That's as many runs as probable Game 4 starter Max Scherzer has allowed in his last four starts combined. The last time Scherzer allowed five runs in a start was July 30. Including his two postseason outings, he's 9-2 with a 2.49 ERA and 128 strikeouts in 101 2/3 innings since the All-Star break.
No, none of that makes Scherzer a better pitcher than Verlander. But he's pretty obviously a better bet on long rest than Verlander would be on three days' rest in Sunday's Game 4.
Tigers pitching has been just fine so far. In fact, aside from Verlander and Jose Valverde in Game 1, it's been great. The team simply needs to score some runs. If Detroit is going to come back from a 3-0 deficit, it has a much better chance of happening with Scherzer, Verlander, Doug Fister and Anibal Sanchez all going on normal or extra rest these next four games than it would with Verlander on short rest, Scherzer and Fister the next two games and then Verlander on short rest again.
So, please, no more Verlander talk. Not until Game 5 anyway.

Women's Playwriting Festival
The Perishable Theatre's Tenth Annual International Women's Playwriting Festival serves up three new plays about women in distress.
By Bill Marx
Providence, RI –
The three plays in this year's Women's Playwriting Festival take different approaches, but share a common theme: trauma and its aftermath. Each could be subtitled "Pain in Women's Lives and How They Survive It." The focus on female alienation is limited, but perhaps it is necessary to justify a Women's Playwriting Festival. Women playwrights are becoming increasingly mainstream. After all, both the winner and the finalists of this year's Pulitzer Prize in Drama were women.
Each script provides moments that break through the self-indulgence. The first play and the most abstract of the three, "White Gifts," is by Mireille Juchau. A young mental patient, Martine, wanders through a shopping mall where she runs into an aged homeless woman. Each character meditates on their inner wounds. Martine obsesses on the death of her daughter and society's attempt to medicate away the pain. As Martine, Sandra Laub exudes conviction even when the play's attempt to be poetic ends up making it merely precious.
The next play is "All Souls Day" by Christine Evans. It has a more political bent. A young boy, Milo, and his aunt, Manja, are on a deserted beach. They have run away from their village, which has been destroyed by brutal marauders. The aunt is too traumatized to speak, her feet are bruised and bloody. As she swims in the sea, Milo prattles on, hoping that Manja will respond and there will be a return to normalcy. Bennett Schlesinger is too boisterous as Milo, but here and there the play gets at the anguish of dislocation before it resolves the situation in a pat ending.
The most successful play of the evening, "Scatterhead," is by Elizabeth Anderson. It is the least earnest and the most humorous. The plot is not particularly new, but the deadpan tang of the dialogue is good for some chuckles. A suffocating small town is hit by a big mystery: "Edna Philomel Baker disappeared from her residence at 53 Briar Road."
So, how did Edna escape and where did she go? She probably used a mysterious machine, which her daughter is trying to operate in the basement. And Edna must have gone to a better place. The small minds of Edna's friends at the beauty parlor are hilariously trite. Her lump of a husband can't figure out how to do the laundry. The Perishable Theatre performers are suitably droll. Sure, making fun of life in a small town is easy, but unlike the other two plays, which go after big issues and miss, "Scatterhead" picks a tiny target and nails it.
The Tenth Annual International Women's Playwriting Festival runs through June 9, 2002 at the Perishable Theatre in Providence, Rhode Island. For performance times and tickets, call (401) 331-2695 ext 101.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be here in just a few short weeks and there has never been a better time to dust off your ninja blade and boot up your cyborg battle software because this new entry in the Metal Gear universe will be slashtastic. There's no time for stealth and no need for bullets when you take control of a cybernetically enhanced Raiden this time around. You're getting new weapons to deal with new enemies and a super sophisticated combat system that's tough to master and easy to learn.
Help yourself to a double dose of video evidence as these videos focus on the nature of Raiden's enemies in this game (they're cyborgs just like him) and the power of his weapons (the sword can slice through anything pretty much). If you're not ready to get to slicing in another Metal Gear adventure after watching this stuff, then you must not like fun video games. Go try a pocket dating simulator or something.

Kidz In The Hall ft. Bun B, Pusha T & The Cool Kids - Drivin Down The Block (Remix)
Artist: Kidz In The Hall
Featuring: Bun B, The Cool Kids, Pusha T
Producer: Double-O
Album: The In Crowd
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 35 votes )
Drivin Down the Block, the new single from Kidz In The Hall, continues to garner a strong underground buzz and lucky for you the album's remixed version has arrived. While producer Double-O's original beat (sampling Masta Ace's classic, Born to Roll) is maintained and MC Naledge has concocted a brand new verse, several guest artists have jumped on board for some brand new fun. Forming a parade of underrated MCs from all across the country, the song features The Clipse's Pusha T, up-and-coming Chicago duo The Cool Kids and Dirty South veteran, Bun B. If lyrically driven (no pun intended) indie hip-hop floats your boat, KITH will release their sophomore album, The In Crowd, on May 13.

The move surprised many as it was unveiled simultaneously in the Vatican and in London, where the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, was forced to admit that he had not known about it until a fortnight ago.
Pope Benedict's initiative -- set out in an apostolic constitution, the highest form of pontifical decree, and unveiled by a senior Catholic cardinal -- allows Anglicans worldwide, both clergy and worshippers, to convert en masse while still maintaining part of their spiritual heritage.
Both Williams and the Catholic archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols, who was sitting next to him in a show of unity, refused to concede that the Vatican was passing judgment on the troubles within the Anglican communion.
"It is not an act of aggression, it is not a statement of no confidence. It is business as usual," said Williams, who nevertheless apologised to Anglicans that there had not been prior debate. The Vatican sought no input from Lambeth Palace. The papal decree comes after many years of approaches to the Vatican from Anglicans unhappy with the ordination of women and gay people.
There was scarce detail about how the new structure would work -- there could be separate services in Roman Catholic churches for breakaway Anglicans, though control would lead back to Rome. It creates not so much a church within a church as an enclave operating under the auspices of the Vatican. The most significant part of the decree is that it will allow married Anglican clergy to be ordained as Roman Catholic priests, waiving the requirement of celibacy.
The pope's chief theological adviser, the U.S. cardinal William Levada, said that he would put the number of Anglican bishops in the world who were poised to become Catholics "in the 20s or 30s." Later, Joseph Di Noia, the deputy head of the Vatican's liturgical department, said he believed the figure was closer to 50.
Williams appeared on Tuesday alongside Archbishop Nichols in Eccleston Square, the central London administrative HQ of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, and there were awkward moments. When Williams was asked if the Vatican move was a "massive vote of no confidence" in his leadership, it was Nichols who jumped in with an answer. Several times they both said the apostolic constitution was not a commentary on the internal disputes ravaging the world's second biggest Christian denomination -- despite years of Roman consternation over the ordination of women and gay people.
At an Anglican conference last year several cardinals swooped into Canterbury to air their concerns about the impact such innovations would have on relations between the two churches and how undesirable an Anglican schism would be.
But on Tuesday in a basement room, faced with the press, Williams was optimistic and resolute, though his complexion reddened. "I do not think this constitution will be seen as in any sense a commentary on Anglican problems offered by the Vatican. It is a response to this range of requests and inquiries from a very broad variety of people. In that sense it has no negative impact on the relations of the communion as a whole to the Roman Catholic Church as a whole."
Williams was also forced to reveal his ignorance about the move to Anglican bishops and archbishops, a number of whom are dissatisfied with his leadership. In a letter he wrote: "I am sorry that there has been no opportunity to alert you earlier to this; I was informed of the planned announcement at a very late stage, and we await the text of the apostolic constitution ... in the coming weeks."
Two bishops from a prominent Anglo-Catholic movement in the U.K., Forward in Faith, welcomed the apostolic constitution, but said it was not a time for "sudden decisions or general public discussion."
The bishops of Ebbsfleet and Richborough, who provide pastoral and spiritual care for people opposed to women bishops, also confirmed their 2008 meeting with Vatican officials, an event previously denied by Lambeth Palace.
They said some would want to stay in the Anglican Communion, while others would make arrangements according to their conscience. They said they had chosen February 22 "to be an appropriate day for priests and people to make an initial decision as to whether they wish to respond positively" to the apostolic constitution.
"We were becoming increasingly concerned that the various agendas of the Anglican communion were driving Anglicans and Roman Catholics further apart. It was our task, we thought, to take the opportunity of quietly discussing these matters in Rome. We were neither the first nor the last Anglicans to do this in recent years. Following the decision of the General Synod of the Church of England in July 2008 to proceed with the ordination of women ... we appealed to the Holy Father and have patiently awaited a reply." The initiative is not without problems for the Vatican. The Catholic Church will accept married Anglican vicars who agree to be reordained, just as it includes married priests of the so-called Uniate churches that belong to the Orthodox rite. But, like the Orthodox, it draws the line at married bishops.
However, under the arrangements Anglicans can be taken into so-called "personal ordinariates" in each country, similar to military chaplaincies. Each would be headed by a former Anglican prelate, who does not have to become a bishop in the Catholic Church, and so could be married.
By accepting numbers of married clergy, some with the responsibilities and status of bishops, the Vatican risks reigniting the debate among Catholics over its insistence on celibacy for the vast majority of its priests who belong to the western, or Latin, rite. — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2009

Andre Miller says Nuggets made him out to be 'the bad guy' before trading him to Wizards
Mar 21, 2014, 8:01 PM EDT
Andre Miller was traded to the Wizards at the Feb. 20 deadline, after having a falling out with first year Denver head coach Brian Shaw.
Miller exploded over recording a DNP-CD that snapped a lengthy consecutive games played streak, and the team suspended him for two games but didn't have him around the club at all once the punishment period had technically finished.
Miller claims to have been unfairly portrayed by the Nuggets throughout that process, yet wouldn't exactly provide detailed clarification of his side of the story.
From Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports:
"I was made out to be the bad guy, the villain because I was the one complaining about minutes," Miller told Yahoo Sports. "That wasn't the issue at all." …
"They gave me an opportunity to represent Denver," Miller said. "I tried to do that the right way, but I was looked at as the bad guy, a disgruntled player. [The Nuggets said] I was complaining about minutes and that was never the issue. They made it look that way, and that I was upset. I understand that they have to protect themselves as an organization, but don't blast the player.
"I came out and represented the organization, played games, practiced and did it the right way. Don't bash me. It's not true saying I was disgruntled about minutes and complaining. In reality, I was just speaking up for guys on the team and being a veteran leader. I was just doing my job." …
"A lot of people don't actually know what happened," Miller said. "I didn't get a chance to say my peace. I'll leave it at that."
Well, we still don't know what actually happened, at least in Miller's eyes. But what seemed clear is that his role on a Nuggets team that was going to miss the playoffs was going to be severely diminished, and he wasn't ready to accept that.
Miller has yet to make a real impact in his new situation, but he's playing serviceably, averaging 3.1 points and 3.6 assists in 13.7 minutes over his last 10 games with the Wizards.

- kinggw - Mar 21, 2014 at 10:26 PM
He did explain his side of it. He showed what a professional is by not going into detail.
- ProBasketballPundit - Mar 21, 2014 at 9:46 PM
He's probably right. Guys get suspended and/or traded for "speaking up for guys on the team and being a veteran leader" all the time.

- rockymountainraider - Mar 22, 2014 at 11:04 AM
Do you guys forget Andre has always been this way, soon after he was traded to Denver he clashed with Karl about minutes and wanted a trade back then too. Just a old vet who dont know how to take a diminished role. Very Iverson-like if you ask me.
- sire2334 - Mar 22, 2014 at 12:32 PM
Yet to make an impact? I can understand that if we're going directly by numbers but he's made a great deal of impact for this team.
- kclanton80 - Mar 23, 2014 at 11:55 AM
I seriously doubt he got basically kicked off the team for defending teammates and trying to get them playing time. I think that would be a first in the history of sports. Of course he is going to try and make it look like he was innocent.
Many times veterans have a problem showing respect to young unproven coaches. It seems like that's what happened here.It must have been a major blow up for them to pay him to stay away from the team.

On reading the article "When women become a rare species" (Open Page, Dec. 6), I could not but respond to the deep anguish and profound concern expressed in it over the status of women in our society today. The way the plight of women has been highlighted in the article reminds us once again of our social obligation and moral responsibility to do away with gender disparities and the bias against the fairer sex. Though women today are much better placed educationally and financially, they are still subjected to various levels of harassment. Until there is a transformation in the social mindset, women may indeed become the rarest of rare species in the years to come.
C. Vijaya Girija,
I am touched by the thought-provoking article. What makes it very effective is its symbolic language, used to compare women with other endangered species. Thanks for presenting before us the frightful picture of what the future could well hold for us.

My computer is constantly providing all sorts of announcements about some "breaking news" item such as a traffic tie-up on an Interstate highway some forty miles away. Why a computer alert? Are drivers watching a computer screen?
Most of the stuff is transitory (that means of short duration, vanishing in a short time) and often is incomplete and incorrect in the bargain. I suppose that's why lots of the "news" gets ignored around here, but there are some reports that catch our attention - particularly those containing messages about our health and nutrition.
I recently saw a report describing a study that essentially says the long-held "gospel truth" about how red meat, butter, cheese, and other fatty foods cause heart disease is based on "personal ambition, bad science, and politics". Yep, this most recent study attacks the basic cornerstone of dietary advice for generations that these foods clog the arteries. In fact, it states there has never been a positive correlation between consumption of these fats and heart disease.
It points to serious flaws in the basic work which led to the campaign against saturated fat - claiming that the research "cherry-picked" the data by selecting those points supporting the premise and discarding those which did not. Why am I not surprised when we've seen so many other contradictions and inconsistencies in nutrition advice?
When I was a youngster we were told to drink milk - a nutritious food full of good stuff essential for our health. Nowadays, we are told milk should be avoided because it's full of bad stuff harmful to our health.
Recall how margarine was touted as the healthy alternative to that unhealthy "high-priced spread" — only to find out that margarine contains stuff reportedly even more unhealthy and often costs more than the "high-priced spread?" I'm not sure whether peanut butter is currently on the "good" list or "bad" list but I understand that the old reliable PB&J (peanut butter and jelly) sandwich is not acceptable in lunches school kids carry from home.
Too much fat, sugar, and white bread according to current nutrition gurus. And while on the subject of white bread I recently saw a report condemning wheat as the culprit guilty of many of our physical ills.
Oh, yes, wheat, a mainstay of nutrition ever since humans started growing grain, has now been branded as unhealthy by this school of thought. Kinda reminds me of another bit of dietary advice my Sweetheart-for-Life came across not long ago. This particular nutrition philosophy claims we should never eat anything white — that's right, we should eat only foods that have color.
According to this notion, white foods are inherently detrimental to our health - makes me think of how one of our grandsons, now grown up, still refuses to eat any green colored vegetable such as broccoli or spinach.
OK, moving on to vitamins and supplements - a multi-billion dollar business in this country. Scientists learned many years ago that scurvy, a horrible, deadly disease, was caused by the lack of certain types of food — food which turned out to contain what is now known as Vitamin C. But do you remember how taking large amounts of Vitamin C was proclaimed as a means of preventing and curing colds — a claim later refuted? Vitamin E was touted as an effective way of addressing heart disease — but there was another "oops" when large doses of Vitamin E were found to cause heart problems. There are more examples, but the point is clear.
Nowadays vitamins and supplements are packaged in ways to fit any segment of the population from infants to "mature" adults. I recently compared the list of vitamins and minerals in containers labeled "mature men" and "mature women" and could find no difference in the amounts or percentages of daily requirements. Hmm.
So what are we to do about this information overload concerning nutrition and our health? My resident expert on domestic matters has two suggestions. First, we should avoid these fad diets and eat a variety of foods including dairy products, meat, poultry, fish, grains, vegetables - and particularly peanut butter. The key, however, is consuming these foods in moderation and avoiding overindulgence.
Second, it's fine if we continue reading these spectacular revelations about how some new nutrition theory has popped up or another has been repudiated. The key is enjoying them for their entertainment value and not taking them as "gospel truth."
Sounds like a plan. At least that's how it seems to me.

7.1% ABV, Brauerei Aying, Aying, Germany
A new brew from one of my favourite producers of wheat beer! It's a helles bock, evidenced by the glowing honey-golden hue with full haze as expected for a weizen. The head started out an inch and a half tall and fell to a solid 1/8" layer of dense white foam. Ahhh, the aroma! Fruity and spicy, with banana, clove and vanilla present, and a little apricot. Full, rounded mouthfeel with fine carbonation effervescence. The head lends a creaminess to the texture. Flavours follow the aroma with clove, banana, and faint vanilla, plus I get hints of apricot and sourdough bread, and a mildly sour tang in the finish. Also a light yeasty note. Delisch! Very nicely done! Balanced, smooth, refreshing, but a little more substantial than a standard heffie.

Red pandas excel in the art of leisure
These quirky balls of fur are also known as lesser pandas, but make no mistake — they aren't any less cute than their 'giant' counterparts.
Tue, Jul 02, 2013 at 11:50 AM

Lofty, lazy living
A pair of red pandas settle in for a nap on a log suspended in the air on June 24 inside their enclosure at the Beijing Zoo in China.
Despite their name and taste for bamboo, these rusty, cat-sized creatures are more closely related to raccoons than giant pandas. However, even that connection is quite distant — their common ancestor roamed Eurasia tens of thousands of years ago. Because they have no close living relatives today and their nearest fossil ancestors lived and went extinct 3-4 million years ago, they are considered a living fossil.
Native to the temperate forests of southwestern China and the eastern Himalayas, the species is listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN as a result of habitat loss, inbreeding, poaching and fragmentation. The population currently stands at about 10,000 individuals in the wild, and population remains on a decline even with national protection laws.

PKF Hospitality Research has released its March 2013 Hotel Horizons report, which forecasts increases in hotels' earnings this year. Revenue per available room is expected to rise 6.1%, while net operating income is forecast to grow by 10.2%. "The uncertainty and fear generated by Congress' handling of the fiscal cliff and sequester may have tempered the pace of economic growth, but it has not completely shut down the growth in demand for lodging accommodations," said PKF Hospitality Research President R. Mark Woodworth.

Our transformation is only just beginning.
We want Gatwick to become the airport of choice, not only in London but in Europe, delivering world class service to our passengers.
Much of this change has already been delivered through our £1.2 billion capital investment programme which completed in March 2014. Our aim is to be a bright contemporary airport that provides a smooth journey for everyone, and is flexible enough to deal with a growing business.
In February 2013, we submitted our 2014 – 2024 business plan to the CAA. Gatwick's business plan sets out a new seven-year 'Contracts & Commitments' framework to replace the current system of regulation. We're proposing a further investment of £1 billion at the airport between 2014 and 2019 to build on the improvements we've already delivered since becoming independent in 2009. The future plans are to create two world class terminals by refurbishing the North Terminal to match the improvements in the South Terminal. This includes creating a world beating check-in, next generation security facilities, a bigger departures area, a transformed arrivals area and new border zone technologies including 15 state-of-the-art new e-gates to help reduce queues for passengers.
Read more in our Capital Investment Programme (link to PDF).
As a major international airport we also need to consider our options for growth. In July 2012, following three-month public consultation, we published our finalised master plan. This sets out our vision for the growth of the airport until 2020.
Gatwick is undergoing the biggest transformation in its history. Take a look at some of the highlights.
Improvements in the last five years
It's fair to say Gatwick is unrecognisable from five years ago.
Improvements planned for the future
The next £1billion of improvements will continue our transformation.

Living the life of Riley in fast lane – Wiener Nationals
HUNTINGTON BEACH The last time I talked to Brittany Hayes we were in China, at the world's grandest sporting event, discussing the possibility of being a champion, an Olympic champion.
Now, I'm talking to Hayes here, at a nearly empty park, but still discussing the possibility of a champion, one who stands 10 inches high and weighs 12 pounds.
And, in mid-question, someone's dog jumps on my lap.
This rarely happens at Lakers practice, although no one is ever sure what's coming next from Ron Artest.
"I'm an Olympian," Hayes says, "and my dog is more famous than me."
In recent days, I've written about Phil Jackson, Mike Scioscia and Vladimir Guerrero. Generally, whomever I write about is a big dog.
Today, I'm writing about a wiener dog.
But, no, not just any wiener dog. This wiener dog is one of the fastest wiener dogs around.
Hey, I do have standards and Riley does measure up, even if he's so short he could limbo under a bathroom rug.
He already has won the Octoberfest event at Old World Village in Huntington Beach and the wiener dog races that are part of Long Beach State's homecoming. When your school doesn't have a football team, apparently you improvise.
Riley next will be going after the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals on Saturday at Los Alamitos Race Course. The event mostly is for charity — benefitting the Seal Beach Animal Care Center — and for laughs.
But something quite significant also waits at the finish line — $1,000. That goes to the dog's owner.
And the dog house in the shape of a Wienerschnitzel restaurant? That goes to the winning wiener.
What sets Riley apart — besides being Usain Bolt in a teeny chocolate-and-tan fur coat — is that his owner possesses an Olympic medal. Hayes, who played at Foothill High and USC, won silver with the U.S. women's water polo team in 2008 in Beijing.
Now, she's on dry land chasing another valued piece of sports hardware: a trophy inscribed with the words "Fastest Wiener in the West."
So it's not exactly "Faster, Higher, Stronger," but let's see Michael Phelps race on all fours against opponents with names like Killer, Dude and Snuggles.
"I am competitive, of course," Hayes says. "But Riley just loves to race. He's a natural. People might think I'm a crazy dog lady. Well, I am a crazy dog lady but not one who goes crazy if my dog doesn't win."
When USA Water Polo wanted to do a story — complete with video — on Riley, Hayes was worried about what other people might think.
No one wants to be viewed as having the stability and perspective of a person who potentially one day could live alone with, say, 27 cats.
Well, Hayes isn't that person. She has a boyfriend, Stefan Luedecke, and lives in a condo. The only hint of insanity is her desire to be an attorney; she just finished her first year at Loyola Law School.
But, be very certain, she does love her wiener dog.
"He's our child," Hayes says. "Everything revolves around him. He goes everywhere with us."
Riley has been inside restaurants, hidden in a beach bag. He has gone grocery shopping. When she coaches, Hayes sometimes takes Riley to the pool, where he'll sit in a bag with his head popping out.
He has a nice life, in part because he almost died before any of this racing business even began. Riley, who turns 2 in a couple weeks, was sick with bad allergies for five months.
There were times when Hayes had to hand-feed him baby food and carry him out to go to the bathroom, holding him up so he could do his business.
On this day, Riley appears completely healthy, and he sounds that way, too. The little guy enjoys a good bark.
"We say he has a split personality," Hayes says. "He's half Riley and half Chucky. He'll yell at you for five minutes, and then he'll be kissing you."
Funny, Scioscia's the same way.
But Riley is cuter. Scioscia wasn't the one who dressed up like a fireman for Halloween and received 20,000 votes in an online costume contest.
"It's really like he's a human being sometimes," Hayes says of Riley, not Scioscia. "It kind of scares us."
On Saturday, Riley will attempt to let his legs do the barking. He will be trying to become a champion, trying to rise above the designation of mere wiener.
This isn't the Olympics. This is bigger.
At the Games, first place means you get a spot on the top step. At the Wiener Nationals, first place means you get the whole house.

Nathan's Annual Independence Day Hot Dog Eating Contest
New York, Boston and Washington are cities warming up crowds with entertainment events during the day, putting up traditional fireworks displays. And what Big Apple Fourth of July would be complete without Coney Island's embrace of two of America's biggest loves: hot dogs and competition or Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest (2010).
Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest July Fourth is an annual competitive eating competition held at Nathan's Famous Corporation's original and best-known restaurant at the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York.
The event is held on July 4 and is regarded as the world's most famous hot dog eating contest and a colorful tradition of Independence Day in the United States. In 2006, over 30,000 spectators attended the event, and an additional 1.5 million households watched it live on ESPN.
Three time defending champion Joey Chestnut faced off with his competition, and when all was said and done, Chestnut emerged victorious again capturing the title for 2010. The contest festivities started on Sunday, July 4 at noon. The contest has become a 4th of July tradition.
2010 winner ate 54 wieners and buns
Other cities around the country hold local versions of the contest.
Here are a few local audience photos of attendees ;-)

Save a Life…Adopt Just One More…Pet!
Everyday we read or hear another story about pets and other animals being abandoned in record numbers while at the same time we regularly hear about crazy new rules and laws being passed limiting the amount of pets that people may have, even down to one or two… or worse yet, none.
Nobody is promoting hoarding pets or animals, but at a time when there are more pets and animals of all types being abandoned or being taken to shelters already bursting at the seams, there is nothing crazier than legislating away the ability of willing adoptive families to take in just one more pet!!
Our goal is to raise awareness and help find homes for all pets and animals that need one by helping to match them with loving families and positive situations. Our goal is also to help fight the trend of unfavorable legislation and rules in an attempt to stop unnecessary Euthenization!!
"All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions which are employing full-time pet therapists and animals is increasing daily." ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet Love
'Until One Has Loved an Animal, Part of Their Soul Remains Unawakened'
So if you have the room in your home and the love in your heart… Adopt Just One More Pet or consider becoming a Foster parent for pets… Also check out: Little Critter: Just One More Pet

There is always room for Just One More Pet. So if you have room in your home and room in your heart… Adopt Just One More! If you live in an area that promotes unreasonable limitations on pets… fight the good fight and help change the rules and legislation…

Top 10 things every fed should know before retiring
Friday - 12/2/2011, 8:19pm EST
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
The first year of retirement means a lot of changes to health insurance, life insurance and a slew of other benefits.
Tammy Flanagan, the senior benefits director at the National Institute of Transition Planning, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the top 10 things federal employees should know as they make the transition from active-duty fed to retiree.
"As you're thinking about when you're going to retire, start thinking about what that transition's going to be like," Flanagan said. "That could drive your date of retirement — knowing that you need to have so much money saved up to hold you over during the interim period, and you might want to make some changes to tax withholdings. So you really have to give it some thought before you set the data, before you fill out the application."
Retirement planning should begin at least five years out from a fed's expected retirement, Flanagan said. Employees should request their first retirement estimate, which explains how much they'll draw in income after retirement. And within a year of retirement, feds should start filling out all the paperwork.
Flanagan's retirement checklist
Be prepared to be in an "interim" retired status for up to one year. For some people, this might only be one to three months, but for a few unlucky folks it can be more than a year. There are a variety of reasons for this, but mainly it is due to a massive backlog of retirements at OPM.
- Your lump sum annual-leave check might be needed to pay your bills for the first few months of retirement since your "interim" checks will not be the full amount of your annuity. They should be close to 90 percent of your agency's estimate, but that isn't always the case, and if you are entitled to a FERS supplement, that is not included.
- Your FEHB and FEGLI (health and life insurance) will continue automatically, and OPM will deduct the premiums from your full annuity when it is finalized. As long as you are eligible for these benefits, they will be transferred to OPM by your agency for you.
- That is not the case for FEDVIP (dental and vision). Your payroll office will inform "benefeds" that you have retired and you will receive a letter letting you know that premiums will be deducted for dental and vision when your retirement is finalized and, while in interim pay, you will be billed.
- For long-term care insurance you need to contact Long Term Care Partners to let them know you are retiring if you pay by payroll deduction. You cannot have deductions from your annuity until your annuity is finalized, so it might be easier to do a direct deposit from a bank account if you don't want to write a check.
- OPM does not withhold state income taxes from your interim retirement checks. You should arrange to pay quarterly state tax payments until you can elect to have a withholding from your annuity. You will have federal taxes withheld.
- You should wait at least 30 days after you retire if you wish to make a withdrawal from your TSP account. You may elect a partial or a full withdrawal or you can postpone your election until later. If you are over age 70-and-a-half when you retire, then you must take your first withdrawal by April 1st of the year following your retirement. The TSP will inform you of this as long as they have your current address, so don't forget to update your address with the TSP if you move after you retire.
- Three of your beneficiary forms follow you into retirement and should be kept up to date: TSP, retirement and FEGLI.
- Your lump sum annual-leave check will be paid from your agency's payroll office and should be received within six weeks of your separation. The deductions will include taxes but not retirement contributions, insurance or TSP contributions.
- If you are going to be out of town or at a different phone number or address in the initial months following your retirement, be sure to include this information on your retirement application or to OPM directly after you retire and receive your annuitant number. OPM may need to reach you while your claim is being processed.

France outlines gay marriage plans amid opposition
Published on Nov 7, 2012 2:13 PM
PARIS (AFP) - France's Socialist government on Wednesday outlines a draft bill to authorise gay marriage and adoption amid strong opposition from the Roman Catholic Church and the opposition right.
The plan will be presented to the cabinet of President Francois Hollande, who had made the issue one of his main electoral planks. Hollande has promised that the legislation will be on the statute books by mid-2013.
The liberal cornerstone of Mr Hollande's election manifesto has come under fire in a country which is officially secular but predominantly Catholic.
Muslim, Buddhist, Protestant and Jewish organisations have also signalled their opposition to the project in various ways.

Pune: A notorious drug peddlar, wanted since 2007, was found by the city police's anti-narcotic cell on Tuesday at a village in Ahmednagar village, 150 kilometres away from Pune.
Ali Sher Lal Mohammad Saudagar (45), who operates a drug-peddling syndicate in Patil Estate in Wakdewadi, has been finally nabbed. He has the distinction of being the main supplier of brown sugar, charas, ganja and other contrabands. Several cases of smuggling contraband and other cases have been registered against Saudagar at Khadaki, Shivajinagar, Yerawada and Vishrantwadi police stations in the city.
Saudagar was wanted by city police since 2007, but his whereabouts had been untraceable. Finally, in February 2013 the police traced him, but he gave them the slip.
Assistant police inspector Vinod Patil, who received a tip-off in his recent arrest said, "For the past one year, I was working on arresting him. Past attempts to trace him failed, as he was being alerted of our arrival. We finally traced him to a village in Ahmednagar where he was living with his 19-year-old wife and 21-year-old son in the garb of Sultan Suleman Shaikh and was into the cattle business. To avoid being arrested, he changed his appearance."
Additional commissioner of police (crime) Shahaji Solunke said, "Saudagar's arrest is huge, as he was heavily into the inter-state drugs business. Saudagar had cultivated the habit of casual drug usage in many users by first giving them sachets for free. Once they were hooked, Saudagar would demand cash or encourage them to steal bicycles in exchange for brown sugar. He then instigated them to steal bicycles from crowded areas like Shivajinagar and Pune railway station. On a tip-off, we raided Saudagar's shed where he had stacked over 300 bicycles near Patil Estate. We were shocked to find numerous cycles lying inside in a dismantled condition. More than 500 cycle tyres and tubes, car tyres and tubes, and other metal parts were inside the shed."
Deputy commissioner of police Rajesh Bansode said, "Saudagar used to deal in metal scrap. Other parts like tyres, tubes, seats and miscellaneous accessories could be resold as second-hand goods. In the past we arrested some 15 people working under Saudagar and his name came up in 2007. We circulated pictures of him but he always gave us the slip by changing his location."

How are moderators selected?
What qualifications do they establish? Is there a specific number of moderators or desired ratio of moderators to traffic?? What is the turnover rate in the course of a year say?
No specific number/ratio.
Turnover is pretty much 0. We've introduced 5(??) total mods over the course of time, I'm the second to last, I think?
'the one', also known as the prime program, derives his power from the Source, as manifest in diredesire when he is jacked into the matrix. his powers include:
- extrasensory awareness of changes within the matrix code
- almost unmatchable superhuman strength, speed and stamina
- the power of flight
- practical invulnerability to physical damage
- healing powers
- clairvoyance
- telekinesis
the mechanisms of how 'the one' appears are a mystery, but it can be presumed that the Oracle is aware of the One's origin, as she successfully predicts the return of The One to aid the peoples of TTW

How are moderators selected?
Have you heard of karma or pre-destination? The Circles of Hell from Dante's Inferno?
Obviously, the moderators are being punished for their sins in a past life. They believe they "volunteered" for the position, but actually it was all part of the divine plan to make them dearly pay for past misdeeds. :)
All kidding aside, if there is a truly thankless job, it is being a moderator on a message board. Especially one that has many (as in way too many) kids on it.
Hats off to TT moderators, past and present, for trying to keep a lid on this asylum.
Thanks for all your hard work mods. :D
It's a prison work release program.

I got a medium TCA chemical peel a month ago. I now have hyperpigmentation forming and it seems to be getting worse. I still have red areas post peel. The skin under my eyes is red and bluish. There was no improvement of pore size. I got the peel done in another state, so I can not easily see my doctor. I have shared with the doctor my complications and was told that redness should go away with time. He recommended a hydroquinone for the pigmentation. Any thoughts/suggestions from doctors?

Needless to say, the movie fails as a cautionary tale. But it fulfills its summer air-conditioning duties with flippant ease, and its enjoyably cloddish attempts at political relevance add a fascinating layer of incongruity. It's somewhat surreal to witness an eco-liberal consciousness-raiser executed in Emmerich's quasi-fascistic styleand on Rupert Murdoch's dime to boot. The last two election years, the German-born Emmerich brought us Independence Day, a gung-ho celebration of presidential will in the face of extraterrestrial armageddon, and The Patriot, a gung-ho celebration of Mel Gibson kicking British ass. The Day After Tomorrow would appear, simply, to be another noisy expression of the director's patriotic dutya defiant stand from the king of blowing shit up, who'll be damned if the terrorists keep him from visiting expensive F/X destruction upon the world's major cities.
But unlike the disaster movies that predated 9-11 and the stolen election of 2000 (vague millennial nightmares that battled weather and aliens in the baddie vacuum of the postCold War lull), The Day After Tomorrow gleefully assigns its villain a human facea mulish, nefarious, bald, bespectacled vice president. This evil Dick (impersonated by Kenneth Welsh) is introduced mocking the Kyoto accord at a U.N. conference; the president (Perry King), first seen stumbling into the Oval Office with a quizzical squint, instantly defers to the veep: "What do you think we should do?" The movie's hysterical worst-case developmentsthe funniest and sharpest of which has hordes of freezing Americans illegally crossing the Rio Grandeare monitored on Fox News affiliates across the country. In a particularly nutty wish-fulfillment fantasy, Emmerich has his Cheney surrogate, in a live address from a refugee camp in Mexico, apologize for his hostile anti-green skepticism and humbly thank the entire "third world" for hosting evacuated Americans. (As if conceding that Fox would draw the line at televising so humiliating an episode, the film hilariously broadcasts this mea culpa on the Weather Channel.)
But while the movie's topical jabs have a sneering, Verhoeven-lite quality (you keep expecting Emmerich to splice in Independence Day's money shot of the White House being incinerated), the human-interest stuff reeks, not least because Emmerich and co-writer Jeffrey Nachmanoff have no discernible interest in humans. It's one thing to force-feed viewers disaster-movie cheez-puffs like Are you saying these things are interconnected? and Not monthsweeks!! but another to subject us to an insipid teen courtship (Im using my body heat to warm you) while peoples limbs are turning to icicles and snapping off. Unfortunately, the second half focuses on the redemptive quest of Quaids character, an absentee dad who must prove his devotion by journeying from D.C. to New York, first driving through a zero-visibility blizzard, then walking the length of the snow-encrusted New Jersey Turnpike. His son (Jake Gyllenhaal) is meanwhile stranded in the New York Public Library with a cute girl (Emmy Rossum) and assorted geeks, who are handy for combing reference manuals for septicemia treatments. The lead actors, who somehow register as a credible father-and-son pairing despite not being granted a single credible line between them, deliver contrasting master classes on surviving a Roland Emmerich movie: Quaid inhabits his steely rationalist with a commitment that borders on nobility; the ever darko Gyllenhaal skulks through the movie wearing his bulletproof armor of wary, wounded angst.
As the first full-fledged post9-11 disaster epic, The Day After Tomorrow shows, by the profligate standards of the genre, a certain squeamish discretion. Save for the eye-catching insta-freeze effect, deaths are largely kept offscreen. The movie reserves its breeziest blast of destruction for L.A., accorded its most comprehensive thumping since Earthquake (albeit in predictable fashion, with the Capitol Records building reduced to a shell and the Hollywood sign toppling like dominoes). Everything, of course, is blatantly computerized, and the digi-fakeness, in the New York segments, seems willful (a comforting acknowledgment that this is not quite Manhattan but clearly Canada + CGI). Skyscrapers freeze, but none are knocked over. Survivors are found and rescued. There's an almost elegiac quality to the main attractiona torrent of sea water coursing through Manhattan arteries. It's hard not to think of the scene as Emmerich's symbolic declaration that the floodgates are open once more. Let the healing begin, and with it, a new cycle of therapeutic disaster movies.
