Westcountry could miss out as regions take power from centre
Posted: March 19, 2013|
Concerns have been expressed that the South West could be overlooked under new government plans to decentralise power and funding away from Whitehall.
It was announced yesterday that the Government is to implement nearly all of the changes recommended by Tory peer Lord Heseltine last year in his report, No Stone Unturned.
Lord Heseltine called for the Government to slash red tape and hand back decision-making powers to the regions, giving them greater say over matters including transport, housing, and vocational training to boost economic growth.
The Government will create a single pot of money, in 2015, which Local Enterprise Partnerships will bid into and spend on projects of their choice.
Lord Heseltine wanted this to be worth around £70 billion but it is believed that the pot will fall well short of this.
Lord Heseltine said: "The Chancellor's decision to accept so many of the recommendations in my recent report No Stone Unturned is one of the most strategic supply-side decisions that I can remember. In essence, it accepts that London and its functional bureaucracies should rely more on the incentivisation of England's provinces and less on central instruction."
In return for greater financial control, the Government will make LEPs set out their long-term plans in Local Growth Deals, with £500,000 of funding over two years made available to help them do this.
The chief executive of the Devon and Somerset Local Enterprise Partnership, Liz Waugh, welcomed the increased funding but urged the Government to ensure that it is calculated in a way that does not favour the more densely populated areas of the South East and North West.
She called on the Government to ensure that rural areas received their fair share, saying she was "really concerned" that it would be done on a per capita basis.
"The concern is that the funding mechanism is fair and that there are sufficient opportunities to bid in from rural and coastal areas," said Ms Waugh. "We have been spending a lot of time talking to politicians, saying that urban centres are important, for example Plymouth has a City Deal, but you can't afford to ignore the rural economy. We want to see a counterpoint to the urban focus."
Chris Pomfret, chairman of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, said that the combination of a single funding pot and the possibility of LEPs having more control of European funding could be "truly transformational."
But he, too, said he was concerned about the way funding arrangements would be calculated. "If I have one concern it's that it sounds like the money will be distributed on a formulaic basis," he said.
"If it's done on a formula of population then Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly tends to lose out because it's a relatively small population."
LEPs were announced in 2010 as private-sector led successors to Regional Development Agencies which would leverage in investment from business to drive growth.
But, in practice, the difficult trading conditions have meant that the private sector contribution has not been nearly as much as the Government had hoped, particularly in areas like the South West whose economies are dominated by small businesses that simply don't have the resources for such investment.

White House denies allegations that Benghazi talking points were changed 12 times
Janelle Irwin
Last Call Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Conservative news outlets have claimed the Obama administration altered talking points on the 2012 Benghazi attack 12-times. Other allegations have surfaced claiming the words Al Qaeda were removed. The White House is denying those claims saying there was only one change made to the CIA-approved talking points and that was only changing "consulate" to "diplomatic post." Spokesperson Jay Carney also says officials released only the information that could be confirmed as it was received.comments powered by Disqus

I have a bachelor of circus arts and have spent the last seven years touring the world teaching and performing with hoops. I have performed in Palaces for Royalty, on TV for millions and for the cool kids of Paris at David Lynch's club Silencio. I've hooped on stage with Major Lazer, Brodinksi, Olivia Newton John and Gonzales; spun hoops for Opening Ceremony, Kenzo, Jonathan Saunders and curated my own events at fashion weeks in London and Paris.
I have always enjoyed teaching as much as performing, so I can pass on skills to other people to help them enjoy their work out and have fun while they sweat. I have worked a lot with children and also overweight people to help them learn a fun way to get fit. Hoops are definitely fun – but used the right way they can also provide a really amazing core workout which is what I love teaching people.
Power Song: JW & Blaze - Palance
Personal Best: I hold four world records, including one for the most hoops spun by an individual – 160 hoops
Favourite Yoga Pose: Rabbit pose
Next Big Challenge: Opening a pop up hoopermarket store in Dalston where we can also teach classes. I want to set up more community focused classes – especially with the children in the area.
I have always been drawn to fitness and come from a family of athletes. I started practicing yoga as a way to recover from my running injuries and quickly fell in love with it because it's solely yours and is free from judgement and expectations. Yoga brings me self-discipline and strength while consistently reminding me to stay present, focused and compassionate. Through exploring various styles of yoga I discovered arm balances and inversions, like Adho Mukha Vrksasana and these add physical and mental strengths to my life.
I discovered reformer Pilates a few years after I began yoga. Pilates has complimented my yoga practice by combining self-discipline with the focus of anatomical awareness and body alignment. Pilates allows me to have greater strength, balance and flexibility in all aspects of my training. I'm truly passionate about teaching; it has given me an avenue to share my love of fitness to inspire, motivate and empower others.
Power Song: I love to yoga flow to hip hop and gangsta rap
Personal Best: I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love and that is to teach and empower others through fitness
Favourite Yoga Pose: Pincha Mayurasana (forearm balance) and Adho Mukha Vrksasana (handstand)
Next Big Challenge: Travel to Indonesia and India to train in more depth meditation as well as asana

Wall Street executives at Burning Man? You bet. Though there's nothing farther from the cutthroat, moneymaking world of Wall Street than the anticapitalist, anticorporate festival of radical self-expression known as Burning Man, we found several New York business executives and Wall Street types who are heading out West this week and staying through Labor Day. In the dusty, storm-ridden desert flatlands north of Reno, Nevada, is a place dubbed Black Rock City, home of the biggest little countercultural festival in the world.
"I first went out there in 2003 because a classmate from the Stanford Business School had an art project on the playa," says a senior executive for a major Wall Street company, who asked not to be named. One of the main draws for him and most of the other 50,000 participants expected this year are the massive collaborative art projects, like last year's giant Belgian Waffle or the 50-foot stick figure that gets torched at the end of the week—the burning man that gives the festival its name.
"That's the attraction. You create something from nothing, it's remarkable for a short period of time, and then it's gone," says the executive, whose own participation includes cooking gourmet meals and distributing them for free to the masses. Other attendees contribute three-dimensional creative works, all of which result in a temporary psychedelic city of art and theme camps on "the playa," the ancient lakebed where the event is held.
The Stanford classmate in 2003 created a multimedia installation that paid tribute to the sun, with trapeze artists performing at sunset, music synchronized with the sunrise, and, thanks to the creative tinkering of a couple of Silicon Valley engineers, a sound system with light projections. "You could actually watch the sound emanating through the light across the playa."
But this is hardly the first time business people have attended the festival. Past attendees from the business world include Amazon C.E.O. Jeff Bezos, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and Google C.E.O. Eric Schmidt, among others.
Of course, because the nature of Burning Man is to leave all commercial trappings behind, the organizers of the event are loath to tally the number and type of professionals in attendance, although a spokeswoman noted that "we do have a large group coming for their corporate retreat this year. They are building an art project."
And the business folks who go (albeit anonymously, in the spirit of the event) say they get something out of this nonhierarchical, open-society environment. "When I return, I think I'm a far better executive, in terms of innovation and creativity," says the senior executive. "And each year that I come back, I'm better for it. I think my team and my company are better for it. I stay creative and expose myself to new ideas."
Leslie Bucksor, a partner in a New York financial-consulting firm, and his wife, Cory, will be camping out with his business partner this year; this will be his 10th year on the playa. And he may do business, if the necessity arises. In 2002, Bucksor left the camp three times to work on patent applications at Bruno's Casino and Country Club, a nearby desert dive. "If it's the only way I can be there, I will do it," Bucksor says. "It's such an important experience for me."
Leaving the playa is the only way to conduct business in this commercial-free zone. Cell-phone coverage and internet access are very limited, and there's no commerce whatsoever. The mini-countercultural civilization survives on gift giving; even bartering is not allowed.
But if no cash changes hands on the playa, it certainly does ahead of time. Going to Burning Man is not cheap, with presale tickets starting at $195 and going up to $350 at the gate. Plus, attendees have a massive preparation list: food, water, tents, sleeping bags, glow-in-the-dark anything, bikes, and goggles and dust masks for surviving the dust storms. And more and more participants are stepping up the experience with decked-out R.V.'s and luxury camps equipped with extensive high-tech elements and semipermanent buildings.
James Okura, who runs his own art-production company, sets up an air-conditioned fake-fur-lined tent and tunnel system he calls the Geisha House. "We provide chilled sake in an office watercooler and Japanese snacks. Our motto is 'You are your own geisha.' "
"People have definitely stepped it up for luxury," says a hedge fund trader in his thirties, who's going this year with some heavy hitters in media and finance. "This will be my first year going in an R.V.: The Four Seasons version of Burning Man."
Newbies are in for an exercise in surviving in a very noncompetitive, open atmosphere—attributes that are exactly the opposite of the Wall Street and hedge fund worlds. It's not for everyone.
"The Wall Street crowd at Burning Man is very small," says the hedge fund trader. "I would not encourage anyone I work with to go. I see how people are in this business, and I would not trust them to engage the experience as it should be engaged." He went for the first time in 2001 with friends from San Francisco.
The trader is afraid the playa will be polluted with what he refers to as the "aggressive indulgence that is part and parcel of New York City, particularly of those in high-powered, high-paying jobs."
Such people may have the wrong idea about the festival. "People think it's a big drug-sex thing out there when it's really, really not," the trader says. "It couldn't be farther from the truth."
Celebrities such as Sting, Courtney Cox, and Robin Williams have been known to go in previous years, but there are no V.I.P.'s at Burning Man, and that's part of its appeal. "The Burning Man spirit," says the trader. "I've seen it overwhelm people out there. If everybody went once, the world would be a cooler place."

vacation from transit? no way!
They say true love knows no bounds. During last week's trip to see my wife in Istanbul, I had to test this theory.
The city has many things to see. Hundreds of historic mosques, the breathtaking Hagia Sophia cathedral/mosque/museum, which was built exactly 1,400 years before the Golden Gate Bridge, and Topkapi Palace that served as home for generations of Ottoman sultans and their concubines.
We saw those things, but then I had to see the world's oldest subway, which opened in 1875.
At 1,180 feet, it may be the world's shortest subway system, but I found out later that despite all the hype, it's not as Read the rest of this entry »

opinionBy Dr Richard Ayah
One definition of paint is "a liquid mixture, usually of a solid pigment in a liquid vehicle, used as a decorative or protective coating". Paints have been used for thousands of years but not by everyone.
Archaeological evidence has found that ancient Egyptians, for example, used six colours - white, black, blue, red, yellow, and green. They mixed their colours using some gummy substance then applied each colour separately.
They did not blend the colours and so might not have had shades such as 'cool pink' or 'desert peach'. Paint can be used for decorative purposes, but a primary use of paint is to protect various surfaces.
To make the best use of paint, which can be expensive, it is important to have the appropriate surface on which to apply it on. This should be something obvious to all of us.
Sadly though many people put up structures that paint would feel ashamed to be on. The people putting up such structures know deep down that this is true and so end up leaving such houses unprotected, bare and ugly.
Given our gender inequality, such houses are often occupied primarily by older women sometimes with a few young children sleeping in as well.
These structures meet the very basic definition of a house - that is walls, a roof, a door, maybe the odd window but not much else. Certainly they do not offer much protection against plasmodium, a group of one-celled animal parasites that live on the red blood cells of many mammals, birds and reptiles.
There are four human plasmodium species; P. falciparum, P. ovale, P. vivax and P. malariae. All cause malaria with P. falciparum being the most dangerous.
Malaria we know is a major killer in Kenya especially of children under five years. It also causes illness and death in pregnant women. Women are four times more likely to get sick, and twice as likely to die from malaria if they are pregnant.
Malaria in pregnancy can lead to an abortion, premature delivery and is associated with eclampsia - high blood pressure in pregnancy. Even without causing death, plasmodium slows people down.
It is estimated that in areas where malaria is endemic, people only harvest 40 per cent of their crops compared to healthy families. So plasmodium maybe a cause of poverty.
Plasmodium is an interesting parasite. Even though it is a human parasite, to survive it has to undergo some development in the stomach of the anopheles mosquito.
Unfortunately for us in Kenya, the mosquito is a very common insect. Worse still the unseasonal weather is making mosquitoes breed even in January and February, traditionally hot months when the number of mosquitoes would be expected to be low.
Because we often think that plasmodium is a parasite of the mosquito, we imagine that eliminating the mosquito will eliminate the parasite. But the parasite spends more time in the human body than in the mosquito.
Within the human body, plasmodium undergoes two stages; a liver stage then a blood stage. In the liver stage the parasite can become dormant for long periods.
Dormancy periods of up to 50 years in the case of P. malaria have been recorded. P. vivax and P. ovale can re-emerge after up to 18 months with P. falciparum surviving in the liver for up to a year.
The mosquito in contrast, like most insects, does not live for long. Some species of mosquitoes - and there are over 3,500 species, can develop from egg to adult in as little as five days, but typically they live for a maximum of about 40 days.
The reason mosquitoes and plasmodium make such a good couple is that the female mosquito needs to feed on blood in order for her eggs to develop.
The mosquito equipped with wings is therefore the prefect transmission vehicle for plasmodium which being one-celled would otherwise be challenged moving from one human to the next.
Insecticide impregnated mosquito nets are effective in killing mosquitoes that are already in the house. However there is a further strategy that can help reduce the mosquito load.
If you have ever paused to observe, mosquitoes enter the house through an open window, an open door or any gaps left between the roof and wall.
They are not in the habit of slithering through small gaps under the door like movie action heroes. Having a decent painted house puts the mosquito on notice. Light wall colours make the mosquito stand out. They become nervous.
A decently painted house means that you begin to take care of the compound around the house as well, eliminating the breeding grounds for the mosquito. So building decent houses for our women to live in is a good way to make the nation healthy.

We live in a tumultuous, uncertain world that changes so rapidly, it often makes our heads spin. To have something solid to anchor our lives to makes all the difference. Such an anchor gives us peace with ourselves, freedom from fear, comfort and confidence no matter what may come.

"Giga-" is a prefix derived from Greek, meaning "giant." In modern times, giga- refers to the large datasets and information as the billions of bytes we generate and store on our computers.
The "spineless" invertebrates comprise one of the earliest, and now largest branches of the tree of life, dating back more than 550 million years Many of these ancient animals (metazoans) are unique to marine and aquatic habitats and ecosystems. The invertebrates also comprise over 70% of all described metazoan species diversity, yet most of their genomes (complete hereditary material, DNA code) remain relatively unknown and understudied. In this context, a "Global Invertebrate Genomics Alliance" (GIGA) of diverse scientists, has been formed in 2013 with the intent of growing a collaborative network that can address the major problems associated with genomic sequencing of a large taxonomic spectrum - sample collection and processing, data handling, sequence annotation, alignment and access, as well as intellectual property issues. Consequently, we also encourage the installment of standards and policies that will facilitate comparative approaches to invertebrate genomics. This website aims to provide a dynamic forum and information portal for the latest ideas on invertebrate genome research, researcher activities, data and resources related to GIGA and its principles.
Describing the wide functional and structural diversity of invertebrates requires an integrated approach that includes not only traditional biological sciences (e.g., anatomy, ecology, behavior, physiology, paleontology), but the burgeoning interdisciplinary efforts of genomics. Following on the success of the human genome project and the current progress of the vertebrate Genome 10K project (Genome 10K Community of Scientists, 2009), GIGA proposes to assemble or assist in the coordination and collection of samples spanning the broad spectrum of (non-insect/ non-nematode) invertebrate phylogenetic diversity suitable for whole-genome sequencing.
Invertebrates represent a compelling target for large-scale genomic enterprises for many reasons:
•Invertebrates (including the vast diversity of insects) encompass more than 70% of all known animal species biodiversity.
•Invertebrates,such as C. elegans worms and Drosophila flies, have long served as model organisms in genetics, physiology and embryology, providing keen insights into fundamental mechanisms of development, neurobiology, patterns of inheritance, diversification, and genome evolution.
•Many invertebrates also play key roles in ecosystems (e.g., corals, earthworms), human health (e.g., disease vectors), and are a major protein source for humans (e.g., many mollusks and crustaceans) with considerable economic impact.
•By better understanding the genomic diversity and make-up of these organisms, we can capitalize on such knowledge to enhance beneficial activities (e.g., food production, ecosystem health,biopharmaceuticals, biomimetic materials) and diminish detrimental activities (e.g., invasive species, decline of endangered species, biodiversity loss).

GIGA Workshop II Summary
GIGA goes Global for workshop II
The second GIGA workshop recently convened March 22-24, 2015 and reiterated the purposes first articulated in 2013. More than 90 scientists and students from 23 countries around the world participated in the three day event hosted by Dr. Gert Wörheide's team in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (http://www.en.uni-muenchen.de/…/2015/gen_codes_workshop.html). All provided further testimony to the Alliance's goals: GIGA II provided a platform for networking and sharing of ideas in the rapidly evolving field of genomics. As in GIGA I, organismal and molecular biologists, bioinformaticists, chemists, professors, museum curators and students mingled in a supportive atmosphere. The diverse group shared common interests through their study of increasing volumes of genomic data and focusing on non-model eukaryotes without a backbone, ranging from cnidarians to insects, rotifers, tunicates. Student posters were presented. The diverse reasons and value of these studies has been previously documented, while GIGA workshop II highlighted how the field can naturally redefine itself due to rapid advances. Expert talks by invited speakers covered population genomics, epigenomics and methylation, genomic bridges to organismal phenotypes, metagenomic assemblies and microbiomes: http://www.en.palaeontologie.geowissenschaften.uni-muenchen.de/gigaii/tentative-program/index.html
Afterwards, individual breakout groups were again productive, and focused on remaining tasks: Updating the status of invertebrate genome projects, developing fundraising strategies, specific hypotheses to drive future genome research, novel bioinformatics tools, and creating data-sharing options (web portals and databases).
It was also announced that manuscripts written by the GIGA community of scientists can be submitted as part of a special PLOS collection for GIGA; http://www.ploscollections.org. More information on this opportunity, open to all, will be posted in the near future.
GIGA also launched a new email list serve - https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/giga
and Facebook page and group: https://www.facebook.com/GlobalInvertebrate and https://www.facebook.com/groups/1554768864811769/ .
Overall, the workshop and these events have reinvigorated GIGA.
GIGA Workshop II
Registration for the upcoming GIGA II workshop (22.-24.03.2015) in Munich is now open only for a waiting list at
following website; please continue to sign up and we will let you know if space opens up:
This workshop is open to all biologists who can contribute to discussions and ideas on how to best use current genomics technologies for a better understanding of various aspects of invertebrate biology, ecology, phylogeny, evolution, conservation etc.
Due to generous support by the German Research Foundation (DFG) we were able to assemble an excellent set of invited speakers (see attached tentative program) and keep registration costs low (100 Euros).
Attendance is currently limited to 75 participants to keep the workshop at a managble size. The link to register and tentative program is publicly available on the workshop website.
Seats will be given away on a 'first come - first serve' basis, so please make sure to fully register asap. A deadline for full payment of the registration is February 15, 2015.
We look forward to hopefully seeing many of you in Munich in March!

Make sure you're using BASH. Sometimes BASH won't execute ~/.bashrc, but
if it's properly setup, then it should -- try putting in some echo

Artist Practical Tips
Art Buyers/Collectors
The best way to sell art is to avoid
looking for the best way to sell art. In other words, its
better to avoid the "opportunity" mindset because it
does not provide you with any true continuity as an artist
promoting your art for sale.
The thing is, there is
"no best way" because
there are so many ways to sell art, and in essence, they all produce
results. But each avenue requires an equal amount work.
For example:
There are many artists who are
selling art quite successfully on ebay, and they will naturally tell you the
best way to sell their art is on ebay. But they
will also tell you that you need to be patient and committed.
Artists who mainly focus on outdoor shows
and art festivals will tell you they've achieved continual
results for selling art by getting out into the public arena,
where their art is directly exposed to passing human traffic.
But they will also tell you that you need to know how to
interact, be able to provide a range of art to suit people's
budgets, and know how to physically display art for maximum
A Plan For Selling Art
The best way to sell art is to have a
marketing plan.
There are many avenues you can pursue in
order to sell your art. But if you are just starting out and
asking yourself, "What is the best way to sell art?' then
perhaps consider that marketing and planning is a great place to
Having a basic plan will save you from
spreading yourself too thin through trying every conceivable way
to sell your art. If you fall into the trap of trying
everything, you will lose heart, money, energy and time.
It's important to establish a way to sell
your art that is the most enjoyable and perhaps challenging for
you. I won't say comfortable, because creating and selling art
is never going to be comfortable. It is always going to be
challenging that is the nature of the industry.
The best way to sell art is through pursing
the path that consistently focuses on trying to meet your
overall expectations.
In other words, the best way to sell
your art is
to work in accordance to your overall marketing plan. Create one
and stick to it. If you do not have a plan, you won't know what
you are actually trying to achieve. This tends to encourage an
artist to try anything and everything, which can lead to a lot
of frustration.
I'm quite certain you have heard the term
"frustrated artist" used by many people.
frustrated artist is the artist who keeps trying everything
inconsistently (wink).
If you break it down into categories, such
as, "What is the best way to sell art online," or
"What is the best way to sell art at outdoor shows and art
festivals," it will help with your overall focus. But the
fact remains the same; you still need to go in with a marketing
mindset to save you from straying and wasting a lot of time,
money and energy.
If your focus is to promote your work for
sale on the Internet, then start with the end in mind and work
backwards. Most of all, keep it simple. Be consistent and follow
your plan. If you do that you'll have a lot more time to do what
matters creating art.
Likewise if you are going to get started
with outdoor shows and art festivals - or the gallery
representation route - then, create a plan. Keep it simple and
free from airy-fairy dream like delusions for seeking fame.
In all, avoid seeking the "What is the
best way to sell art" mindset. Create your own way, because
it is really the only way that exists. Keep in mind that
whatever ever way you do decide, will take just as much patience
and commitment as the path you decided not to try because it
appeared to be too much work.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb spent the early years of his career shuffling between various semi-pro teams in the Southeast, finishing out the 1904 season batting .237 in 35 games with the Augusta Tourists of the Sally League. In August of 1905, the Tourists' manager sold Cobb to the Detroit Tigers for $750. On August 8th of that same year, Cobb suffered the death of his father. It was a loss made all the more tragic by the fact that it was Cobb's own mother, Amanda, who fired the fatal shot. Believing that Amanda was cheating on him, W.H. Cobb told her he was going out of town, only to sneak back later that night in an attempt to catch her with her lover. As he was climbing onto the roof of the house, Amanda saw him through the bedroom window. Mistaking him for a burglar, she picked up a shotgun and fired, killing him. She was arrested on voluntary manslaughter charges, but she was later acquitted.
Already a bristled, angry man with a hair trigger temper, Cobb wouldn't tolerate any of the rookie hazing that was customary among baseball players of the day. This not only served to alienate him from his teammates, but their repeated attempts at hazing made him all the more violent and temperamental. As a result, by the end of the 1905 season, there was very little respect between Cobb and his fellow Tigers.
Ty Cobb made his debut as the centerfielder for the Tigers on August 30, 1905. In his first major league at-bat, he doubled off New York Highlanders' pitcher Jack Chesbro. That season he went on to bat an under whelming .241 in 41 games, but he showed enough promise that the Tigers offered him a generous $1,500 contract for the 1906 season. The following season he became the Tigers full-time centerfielder and hit .316 in 98 games. He would never hit below that mark again. While his star was rising on the field, Cobb was quickly building on his violent reputation off of it. During the Tigers' Spring Training in Augusta, Georgia in 1907, he came to blows with a black groundskeeper over the condition of the field, even going so far as to choke the man's wife when she tried to intervene. Cobb's career was marked as much by his violent outburst and drunken rages as it was by his on-field prowess.
Never was his temper as evident as on May 15, 1912. On that day, the Tigers were in New York's Hilltop Park to take on the New York Highlanders (who would later become the New York Yankees). Throughout the game Cobb was berated from the stands by a Highlanders' fan that he recognized as a regular heckler. After trading insults with the fan, a man named Claude Lueker, through 2 innings, Cobb went at the beginning of the 3rd to the New York dugout with the intention of asking the owner to have Lueker removed. When he returned to his own bench, he made a derogatory comment to Lueker concerning his sister. Lueker replied by calling Cobb a "half-nigger". At this, Cobb climbed into the stands and attacked Lueker, knocking him to the ground and stomping him repeatedly. After nearby fans pointed out that Lueker was handicapped (he had lost one of his hands and three fingers on the other in an industrial accident), Cobb replied, "I don't care if he ain't got any feet." Police finally managed to pull Cobb off Lueker and he was ejected from the game. American League President Ban Johnson, who was in attendance that day, listened to Cobb's side of the story then suspended him indefinitely. For what was most likely the first and only time, the rest of the Tiger players actually stood up for Cobb, saying they would not play until he was reinstated. Why would a team of guys risk their livelihood to stand in defense of a man that all indications were they hated? Simple, they wouldn't. They didn't stand up in defense of Cobb. They stood in defense of his actions, saying he was justified, because being called a half-nigger was too great an insult for any white man to ignore.
The team then traveled to Philadelphia, where they were scheduled to play against the Athletics. Cobb suited up with the rest of the team, and when he was informed by an umpire that he wasn't allowed to play, the rest of the team changed into their street clothes and went into the stands with Cobb to watch the game. The Tigers' management, in anticipation of this, and wanting to avoid the $5000 fine for not fielding a team, had already lined up some local semi-pro players to play in their stead. The Tiger scabs lost the game 24-2. After the game, Ban Johnson fined each striking Tiger player $100 and encouraged them to return for the next game. He then fined Cobb $50 and suspended him for ten games, thus ending major league baseball's first strike.

Background History
Riccia fluitans is a versatile liverwort used in planted aquariums since the 1970s. Popularized by the Japanese Aquascaper, Takashi Amano, Riccia fluitans has become a fan favorite of Nature Style Aquarium Aquascapers. The plant is composed of several tiny plants that can be nestled together to form a beautiful foreground carpet, or even a midground transitional plant.
Riccia fluitans can be found worldwide and is widely available in specialized aquatic plant stores, and through hobbyist's forums. It occurs naturally in the wild as a floating plant in slow-flowing streams and ponds. Fish fry often take refuge within the network of interconnected moss-like strands.
Growth Characteristics
Although Riccia fluitans is a naturally floating plant, following Amano's lead, aquascapers from all over the world have netted and submerged the Riccia fluitans branches to grown them out into beautiful lush foregrounds and rock mounds. This liverwort is considered easy to grow, as long as there is ample light and carbon dioxide.
Riccia fluitans is a high maintenance plant due to its rapid growth and no root structure. When left floating close to the light source it can easily double in size within five days time. When submerged, the growth rate is slightly slower, but still requires weekly trimming to shape it into a nice manageable mound, or foreground. If left to overgrow, pieces of Riccia fluitans do have a tendency to break away from the main mass, and wind up in other plants or around a filter's intake.
Aquascaping Application
Aquascapers submerge Riccia fluitans by securing it around rocks using thin hairnets or sewing thread. Wedged tightly between the rock and the hairnet/thread, the fine Riccia branches will grow in between the cracks, and form an interlaced bushy Riccia mound. Remember, Riccia has a tendency to grow to the shape of the item it is attached to. For a flat foreground appearance, attached Riccia to a thin slate rock or heavy wire mesh. For a more hilly effect, use various sized round rocks.
Trimming or thinning out Riccia is essential so that the lower portions of the plant will still see light and remain secured underneath the mesh. For trimming maintenance, it is best to turn off the filter first, and then trim with scissors. Net all floating bits before turning the filter back on.
Riccia looks stunning as the sole plant in a planted aquarium, or it can be easily paired with other foreground species such as Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC), or Eleocharis parvula (dwarf hairgrass) to complete an Iwagumi style layout.
For those who may grow tired of maintaining Riccia masses, there is a dwarf variety of Riccia Fluitans which contains smaller branches, and has a slower growth rate. The aquascaping possibilities with Riccia fluitans are limitless.

opinionBy Candid Joe
What precipitated a high profile resignation in the Nigerian media industry yesterday? Pope Benedict VI, apparently.
A Nigerian media mogul suddenly and unexpectedly announced yesterday that he was relinquishing his title as editor-in-chief of the newspaper group with effect from March 1. That is, forty eight hours after Pope Benedict's resignation has taken effect. The only difference is that while Benedict VI is relinquishing all his titles as Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Jesus of Christ in order to lead a life of prayer and meditation in a monastery, our friend the publisher is relinquishing only one of his two titles. The lesser one, as it were.
The Holy See has said that when the Pope quits, he will retreat to the pontiff's winter residence at Castel Gandolfo on the Alban hills just outside Rome, before he finally moves to a monastery. Meanwhile, a conclave of Cardinals will meet to select a new Pope. The publisher is not yet retreating to the monastery. He will still sit at his desk discharging duties that are no less onerous than they were on February 28. However, we are on the lookout for a conclave of Editors to select the new editor in chief. Just like in the Vatican, we will be looking out for white smoke from the chimney to announce the emergence of a new pope. Beg your pardon, a new editor in chief.
Where is all the money?
Some people have said that money cascades in Nigerian politics faster than water falls off the turbines of Kainji Dam. However, a close look at the Executive Summary of External Auditors' Reports on the Accounts of Political Parties for the Year 2011 as published by INEC last week gives the impression that there is more water in Agadez than there is money in Nigerian politics.
Of the 54 parties that were audited, only ACN had its accounts prepared and audited, albeit by internal auditors. All the others had no audited accounts. It is easy to see why these parties, when they end up controlling governments, think nothing about preparing financial reports and auditing them.
How about the hard money? Alhaji M.D. Yusuf's Movement for Democracy and Justice [MDJ] told the INEC team that it did not generate a kobo in 2011, an election year. Several other parties including BNPP, CPC and DPA apparently had no account books at all; any money generated was probably kept in the pockets of their chairmen.
Of those parties that declared amounts they generated, one gets the impression that a drought has overtaken the political landscape. APGA, which controlled one state government that year, said it generated only N23 million. Labour Party, which also controls a state government, said it generated N129m. CPC said it generated N304m, ANPP [which controlled three states in 2011] said it made N768m while ACN said it generated N676m. What about PDP? The largest party in Africa, which controls the Federal and 23 state governments, said it generated N647 million. [Yawn].
Apart from the parties that generated not a kobo, there were some others that generated money that was hardly enough to fuel a small Suzuki generator. ACD generated N150,000. ADC said it earned N236,000 while Mega Progressive Peoples Party [MPPP] said it earned N300,000. According to MNPP, it also spent N160 million. Who lent to it this money?
PDP too told the INEC auditors that it run up a huge deficit. Having said it earned N647m that year, PDP said it spent N4.3 billion, or more than five times as much. What kind of budget deficit is this, nearly 80% of the budget? Even the United States Treasury is not doing as badly as this party in chocking up budget deficits. How will this black hole in PDP accounts be filled? Enter, fuel subsidy and pension scammers.

Tile must be installed over a suitable substrate to insure a proper installation. Glass tile should be installed over a clean, sound, and flat surface, free of contaminates including curing compounds. Substrate should be free of cracks. If used in a wet area you must waterproof. See manufacturer's recommendation on a membrane for crack and water protection that is compatible with the setting material you are using. Glass is reflective therefore any inconsistencies in the substrate will result in a poor installation. For pools and fountains we recommend installing a mortar bed according to TCA P601-98. EXPANSION AND CONTROL JOINTS PER TCA EJ171-05 Expansion joints should be installed at all "changes in plane" in the tile work and where tile abuts restraining surfaces, therefore silicone caulking sealant must be installed in all corner joints in place of grout.INSTALLATION
- To avoid affecting the color of glass tile, White modified thin-set is recommended for all installations.
- Apply thin-set using a trowel as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes.
- Grout joint should be a minimum of 1/16" and not butt set.
- The trowel size you can use is a 9" Trowel - 1/16" square notch.
- Grout joints should be packed full and free of voids and pits.
- Clean excess grout as the work progresses before it has hardens completely.
- Acids should never be used for cleaning grout haze.
- Use a damp sponge for the final cleaning and to smooth out the grout joints.
- It is recommended to use non-sanded grout.
- It is recommended to use grout release, then grout the tile, then use a sealant to the tile such as our CUTTING
The recommended cutting method is to use a wet saw with a diamond blade that is specifically for cutting glass. Edges can be sanded smooth after cutting.

WHILE a cure for multiple sclerosis remains elusive, silencing key messengers of the immune system might halt and even reverse its debilitating symptoms. Several groups are now developing drugs to do this after promising tests in animals.
MS is a result of immune cells attacking the protective myelin sheath that coats nerves in the brain and spinal cord, causing a variety of symptoms such as numbness, weakness and paralysis. What triggers this autoimmune reaction still isn't known.
But studies have shown that the cerebrospinal fluid in MS sufferers often contains abnormally high levels of certain chemical signals called chemokines. These chemokines summon immune cells such as monocytes and T cells to the central nervous system, where they attack the myelin.
Targeting chemokines, or the receptors that detect them, might slow down or halt the attack on myelin, giving the nerve coating a chance to recover, researchers realised. "When we block ...

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team left the Bowman Center Wednesday night with an unusual feeling after they suffered their first home loss of the season in an 84-74 setback to Florida Southern in Sunshine State Conference action. The visiting Moccasins improved to 10-2 overall and 2-0 in the SSC while the Lions fall to 9-3 and 1-2 in conference.
Despite the 10-point final score, the game was anything but an easy win for the visitors from Lakeland. Jumping out to an early double-digit advantage, the Moccasins lead by as much as 11 points before the 10 minute media timeout in the first half. Saint Leo answered with a 21-5 run that had them storming back to take a 36-31 lead after Quentin Cullop drained two free throws to put the Lions on top.
FSC responded with a small rally, including a buzzer-beating layup by Brandon Jenkins, to knot the game at 37 as both squads headed to the lockers.
The intensity jumped a notch entering the second half as both teams took advantage of significant momentum swings to hold leads during the final 20 minutes. The Lions stared at a 49-49 tie and outscored the Mocs 9-2 over the next four minutes to take a 58-51 lead with 11 minutes left.
The final thrust came at the visitor's advantage as Florida Southern retook the lead with 6:25 left and held off SLU rallies, including a frantic final two minutes where the Lions opted to foul and hope the Mocs would not convert their free throws, to pull out the victory.
The final statistics saw Cullop drop in 25 points on 7-of-13 shooting where he would connect on four treys and seven free throws. Jamal Thompson added 17 points and Matt Kendrick came off the bench to chip in 13.
Florida Southern relied on 21 points and 10 rebounds from Jenkins, alongside 14 points from Rion Rayfield and 10 from Terry Jenkins to get the win.
Both teams shot 44 percent from the field and the Lions outshot the visitors from behind the 3-point arc (41 percent to 38 percent), but the biggest discrepancy came at a familiar spot – the free throw line. The charity stripe is where the Mocs won the game as 25 of their 84 points came from the stripe. The Mocs finished 24-of-28 (86 percent) in free throw shooting while Saint Leo was just 11-of-19 (58 percent) from the line.
The Lions will suit up to take one of their longest in-conference journey this weekend as Saint Leo travels to Nova southeastern on Saturday afternoon. Tipoff is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at the Don Taft University Center in Ft. Lauderdale.

What's On: Hajj - Journey to the Heart of Islam
Opening tomorrow at the British Museum is Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam. It is an almost overwhelmingly rich exhibition of artefacts and artworks to someone (like myself) who has very little insight into the history, power and importance of the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. Amongst the manuscripts (including an extraordinary and beautiful Qua'ran from the 8th Century), textiles, journals and imagery is a very small and elegant modern artistic interpretation of this spiritual phenomena called Magnetism.
Artist Ahmed Mater has captured the simple correlation between magnetism and the millions of Muslims who undertake Hajj. Those who are able must make the journey once in their lifetime in a collective endeavour that is also deeply personal, an attempt at finding the "heart of reality," and the "centre of self" so that they might better understand their lives.
The effect of his art is immediate: the delicate iron fillings evoking a visual analogy of the heart of Mecca, irrepressibly composed in an evanescent movement about a black cube; the magnetised representation of the Ka'bah.
The rest of the exhibition does a wonderful job of contextualising and educating its audience, focussing on the relationship between faith and society and the continued relevance of such a profound act to so many people.
