ATLANTA -- Pinch hitter Evan Gattis drilled a long two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday at Turner Field.
The rookie worked the count to 2-and-2 against reliever Kenley Jansen (1-2) and connected for his eighth homer to erase a 1-0 deficit and help the Braves win their second straight game. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons followed with a solo homer, his fifth, on the next pitch from Jansen to pad the lead.
Craig Kimbrel pitched a scoreless ninth inning and struck out two to record his 13th save. The winning pitcher was reliever Cory Gearrin (1-0), who threw a scoreless eighth inning.
The uprising ruined a strong effort from Los Angeles left-hander Chris Capuano, who gave up one run in 7 innings. Capuano allowed five hits, no walks and struck out five. He had thrown only 91 pitches when lifted for Jansen.
The late rally also allowed Atlanta starter Kris Medlen to avoid his fifth straight loss. He gave up only one unearned run in seven innings, allowed just two hits and struck out five and walked three.
The Dodgers scored their first run in the fourth inning off Medlen.
Adrian Gonzalez walked and scored when Skip Schumaker laced an opposite-field double just inside the foul line and into the left-field corner. Atlanta's Justin Upton let the ball carom off the wall and get past him, which allowed Gonzalez to race home. Upton was charged with his fourth error of the season.
Matt Kemp made a leaping catch in left-center to take a home run away from Jason Heyward in the first inning. The defensive gem prompted Heyward to remove his helmet and tip it toward Kemp.
NOTES: Atlanta put LHP setup man Eric O'Flaherty on the 15-day DL with a torn UCL in his left elbow and recalled RHP Cory Rasmus from Class AAA Gwinnett. O'Flaherty will be examined next week by Dr. James Andrews to determine the next step. Braves GM Frank Wren said, "Obviously, we were hoping it was just a sprain and a short DL stint, but it doesn't look like that's going to be the case." Rasmus had appeared in 19 games, posting a 0.93 ERA and seven saves. ... The Braves learned Friday that LHP Jonny Venters would need Tommy John surgery and miss the remainder of the season. Wren said Atlanta would continue to use a six-man bullpen rather than keep a 12th pitcher on the active roster. ... Kemp, who saw his 14-game hitting streak end on Friday, hit in the No. 2 spot in the order for only the second time this season. ... The Braves hosted Military Appreciation Night on Saturday, with representatives of all branches of the armed forces encircling the bases with players from both teams. U.S. Army Capt. Leslie Nelson threw out the first pitch.

Thanks for your time these past months!
Inspired! Medieval Ipswich church saved to become wellbeing centre.
Medieval Ipswich church saved to become wellbeing centre
£3.5m plans to save Ipswich's magnificent medieval church St Mary at the Quay, by transforming it into a mental health wellbeing centre are taking shape thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) development grant of £68,500, it was announced this week.
The development funding enables the East Suffolk Mind, the charity committed to improving the lives of people with mental health issues and the Churches Conservation Trust, the national charity protecting historic churches at risk to develop plans to save this Grade II* building.
ESM and CCT can then compete for a full HLF £2.8m award to bring the plans to life. The shared vision of the ESM and CCT is to bring St Mary at the Quay back into the heart the community as a wellbeing centre that everyone can use. St Mary at the Quay was closed in 1973 and is cared for by the CCT.
The transformation of the historic church will allow ESM to use the therapeutic value of heritage, arts and creativity and the unique environment and rich histories of this beautiful and restful building to help everyone improve the wellbeing of their mind, body and spirit.
Set in Ipswich's regeneration area, a transformed St Mary at the Quay will provide a space for all the community including a workshop, performance and exhibition area for heritage and arts activity and learning as well as areas for alternative therapies; reflection and contemplation.
The building will also become a meeting point, where people can come together to learn, explore and exchange in activities touched and influenced by the unique heritage of the building and the site.
The CCT and ESM will also be partnering with New Economics Foundation – an independent think-and-do tank that inspires and demonstrates real economic well-being – to develop a new academic study that explores the links between beautiful buildings and the positive effect they have on our wellbeing and state of mind.
Robyn Llewellyn, Head of Heritage Lottery Fund East of England, said: "This is a really exciting project which makes interesting links between heritage and mental wellbeing. The Heritage Lottery Fund's initial support gives the green light to East Suffolk Mind's development work. Whilst this is just the beginning of the journey to secure a full grant, we hope that by providing some additional upfront money they will be able to progress plans over the coming months."
Jo Searle, East Suffolk Mind, said: "Mental wellbeing impacts on us all. The plans for St Mary at the Quay will help reduce the stigma attached to mental health issues by providing a space and services for everyone to address their mind, body and spirit.
"We are delighted that this project is being supported, and look forward to continuing the development work with the Heritage Lottery Fund and ultimately to deliver this innovative partnership project which will see both the rejuvenation of a building of such significant heritage value, and the provision of new and exciting well being opportunities for people in Suffolk."
Loyd Grossman, Chairman, The Churches Conservation Trust, said: "We are thrilled that the Heritage Lottery Fund has given its support for our project at St Mary at the Quay. Not only does it enable us to save this historic church for future generations by bringing it back into the heart of the community but also provides an opportunity to explore the beneficial links between heritage, beautiful buildings and mental wellbeing."
"Psycho screening"? Purleeez Independent! (Good article with case studies though).
All frontline soldiers 'to get psycho-screening in bid to cut combat stress'
The long-term impact of experiences in battle is not fully known and could leave veterans vulnerableBy Matt Chorley
Sunday, 1 August 2010 British troops in action: their psychological stress is described as a 'timebomb'
Troops leaving the Armed Forces may be put through psychological profiling in a new effort to identify those at risk of developing mental disorders linked to their experience on the frontline. The Secretary of State for Defence, Liam Fox, who has described the impact of mental illness among service personnel as a "time bomb", believes developments in science means more could be done to stop the most vulnerable "falling through the safety net". Some 180,000 troops are thought to have been deployed to the two conflicts since 2001. The long-term impact of their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan on those who return to civilian life is not known; in some cases, symptoms from past trauma may not emerge until many years later.
However, Combat Stress, the ex-services mental welfare society, reports a 72 per cent rise in referrals in the past five years. On average, veterans are waiting 14 years between discharge and seeking the charity's help. Comparisons to US forces show Britain has not yet experienced the sharp rise in serious mental conditions and suicide rates seen in America.
A study by King's College London earlier this year found 4 per cent of British armed forces suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but 20 per cent had symptoms of common mental disorders. Research of 10,000 soldiers showed 13 per cent were misusing alcohol, but those who had served in Iraq or Afghanistan were 22 per cent more likely to abuse alcohol than those who had not.
But Dr Fox is damning of the service offered to those suffering from mental health problems and is concerned about the unknown impact of the recent conflicts on the state of veterans' health, especially those of reserve forces. "There is an excess vulnerability there which we will pay a very high price for, and if we are not careful and we do not try to identify people who might be at risk, we will be as a society potentially sitting on a mental health time bomb," he warned.
Plans are being put in place by the Ministry of Defence to set up a clinical trial of post-deployment screening, which would examine how effectively those who have been adversely affected can be identified and provided with help as early as possible. "In this country, frankly, the quality of care we give to people with mental illness we simply would not accept for any other sort of illness that afflicts one in four of the population," Dr Fox said. He believes it is a "measure of how civilised we are as a society" how the most vulnerable, including those with mental illness, are treated. Too often it is a "Cinderella service" in healthcare because "they are the very people who will least be able to complain or least want to make their voices heard".
Conservative MP Dr Andrew Murrison, a former medical officer in the Royal Navy, who served in Iraq in 2003, is conducting an independent study into the health of serving personnel and veterans, with a particular focus on mental health. Ministers have received his initial findings, and full publication is expected shortly.
Ministers are particularly concerned that there is not enough co-operative working between the MoD, the NHS and social services. It could mean dropping what Dr Fox regards as "some of the less than justifiable medicals at the point of discharge from the Armed Forces", to examine advances in science and move towards "psychological profiling to see who might be most vulnerable and to proactively follow them up rather than waiting to see if they fall through the safety net".
He told the Commons defence select committee he is particularly concerned about troops from the reserve forces adjusting to an abrupt return to non-military life. "If you are coming home with a group of comrades who have been through the same experience, at least you have people to talk to who have been through the same thing. If you are in the reserves, you can be in Helmand on Friday and you can be the milkman in Dorset the next Friday, on your own with no one to talk to, and potentially an uninterested population that cannot understand."
The MoD provides community psychiatric nurses in Afghanistan to provide care and treatment on the frontline. There are also two UK-based teams of psychiatrists and mental health nurses who are available to deploy to Afghanistan at short notice. Across the UK there are 15 military departments of community mental health across the UK.
Labour MP John Woodcock, a member of the defence select committee, said spending cuts in the public sector should not hamper work for veterans. "We do absolutely need to do more. Our duty to the troops is fundamental. The resources have to be found."
The Labour government set up community mental health pilots for veterans at six NHS trusts across the UK. The MoD is also working with the charities Royal British Legion and Combat Stress to promote the specialist support available to veterans.
A spokesman for Combat Stress said: "Efficient planning of veteran services and joined-up working between statutory and voluntary sectors are crucial if service providers are to rise to the challenge of meeting the mental health needs of British veterans." A good model has been established in Scotland, where public bodies, veterans and charities work more closely together, he added. Combat Stress has launched a fundraising drive – the Enemy Within Appeal – to raise £30m for mental health services for veterans.
Mental breakdown Martin Webster
Corporal Webster filmed a group of fellow British soldiers chasing and beating four Iraqi youths. Webster could be overheard laughing and saying, "Oh, yes. Oh, yes. You're going to get it." He resigned from the Army soon after the film was broadcast round the world. A documentary, Diary of a Disgraced Soldier, followed Webster for 18 months showing his post-military life in which he contemplated suicide and found himself homeless. His PTSD causes him to have a split personality: he talks of Martin – the normal guy – and Webby – who does all the mouthing off and unpleasant behaviour.
Alcohol abuse and violence Danny Fitzsimons
The former soldier is awaiting trial in a Baghdad jail for allegedly murdering two fellow security contractors. He said he had drunk more than half a bottle of whisky. His lawyers claim he acted in self-defence and was suffering from PTSD, so wasn't fit to have been employed by British security firm ArmorGroup. Fitzsimons had been receiving psychiatric treatment since 2004, when he was still in the Army. He was consulted again in 2008 and 2009, with a psychiatrist confirming his condition had worsened. The last diagnosis was made two months before he was hired to return to Iraq.
Suicide Peter Mahoney
Mahoney, a father of four, was a long-distance lorry driver and reservist, employed by the Army as a specialist truck driver. After 13 months in Iraq in 2003, ferrying medical supplies and injured soldiers between the frontline and field hospitals, he returned home a shadow of his former self. He became short-tempered and made outspoken racist comments. Increasingly, he sought solitude before finally taking his own life. It wasn't until his wife found a ripped-up leaflet about psychological trauma caused by war – issued to soldiers by the MoD – that she realised her husband had been suffering from PTSD.
Homeless and convicted John Dale
Sergeant Major Dale was discharged after 20 years in the Army in 2009, on medical grounds. He had been traumatised after clearing a building in Basra in March 2003, only to find it was a family home and seven children had died in the attack. On returning home he battled with alcoholism and nightmares. He felt he was a danger to his family, and so invented a story about wanting to kill his wife in order to be jailed. His conviction meant that his war pension was stopped, resulting in the couple losing their home and having to camp in the back garden of his brother-in-law's house.
Victim turned saviour Bob Paxman
The founder and chief executive of the charity Talking 2 Minds is a former sufferer of PTSD. His illness developed once he had left the SAS; during one episode he drank a full bottle of whisky and put a loaded pistol into his mouth. Paxman credits his recovery to the charity's co-founder, Mick Scott, whom he met while still working in Iraq as a security adviser. Through sessions of talking to a like-minded person who could understand his experiences, he found his nightmares and flashbacks ceased. Paxman has since helped out 200 active-duty soldiers and veterans who suffer from PTSD.
Unable to work Alex Webster
The Lance Sergeant served in the Scots Guards for 10 years between 1990 and 2000. He was sent to Iraq for the first Gulf War and completed three tours of Northern Ireland, where he was hospitalised for 18 months by a crash. In 2002, however, he joined the Territorial Army and was deployed to Afghanistan where his vehicle was hit by a rocket grenade. He has ongoing surgery on his back, flashbacks, anxiety and temper problems. He has now set up a project to help similarly affected servicemen and women.
Andrew Watson Less than three years after he was discharged from the Logistics Corps, Andrew Watson jumped to his death from the block of flats where he lived in south London. Serving in Iraq, he had seen two friends blown up by landmines in Basra and had to move their remains. Similarly, the 25-year-old private had to endure carrying dead babies out of war-wrecked buildings while on duty. Even on leave, there was no respite. The man who replaced him in Iraq was blown up. The death shook him terribly. In July 2009, TV footage of the coffins of eight colleagues who lost their lives in Afghanistan pushed him over the edge: he is believed to have timed his suicide with his 5am army roll call.
N-Dubz star is example of how having a parent with mental Illness is not a barrier to achievement. But feels there's not enough support for young carers.
I pray that I haven't inherited Mum's mental illness, by N-Dubz's Tulisa
By Nikki Murfitt
Last updated at 10:16 PM on 31st July 2010
When N- Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos is on stage, her confidence is obvious. But what most of the fans of one of Britain's hottest bands do not know is that the 22-year-old's success in music saved her life.
At the age of 11, she was thrust into the role of primary carer for her mother Anne, now 50, who suffers from schizoaffective disorder. The condition, which affects one in 200 people, is a combination of a serious mood disorder – in Anne's case bipolar – and schizophrenia.
Moods can swing from deep depression to extreme elation while at the same time causing sufferers to have hallucinations, or even make them paranoid that inanimate objects such as a television are trying to harm them.
Anne's episodes were punctuated by enforced hospital stays every few months. The rest of the time she focused all her attention on only child Tulisa, and demanded her daughter become a recluse with her in their one-bedroom flat in a rundown council estate in Camden.
Her dysfunctional childhood has led Tulisa to speak out on mental health in a new BBC3 documentary about her mother.
'Mental healthcare in this country is much better now, although we still have a long way to go,' says Tulisa. 'Too often people like me are just left to get on with it.
'But there are support groups for young carers now, which is a huge step forward because one of the worst things about dealing with my mum was how helpless and alone I felt at such a vulnerable age.'
Tulisa describes how it was 'a living hell' at times and how she felt 'suffocated' living with a mentally ill mother.
'The doctors didn't seem to be able to stabilise my mother's moods and I felt myself being dragged further and further down by the environment I was forced to live in. Music and my dream of becoming a success was all that kept me going through those very dark times,' she admits.
The singer was five when Anne, also a musician and singer, was taken away to hospital.
Talisa admits that the irrational behaviour of her mother, pictured with her above in the BBC show, had a big impact on her childhood
'My parents were arguing and I remember the police and ambulance lights flashing outside as my mum was taken away to the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, North London. I knew something was wrong because everyone around me was upset but I didn't understand what was actually going on.
'I visited her in hospital and she seemed distant, not like my mum at all. But she came back home after a few weeks and life seemed to get back to normal,' says Tulisa, whose father Steve, 51, was a sometime member of British rock group Mungo Jerry.
The causes of schizoaffective disorder are unknown. Doctors do know that, as with most mental illness, there is a chemical imbalance in the brain. They are less certain whether environmental factors such as stress trigger the disorder.
Unfortunately for Tulisa, Anne's condition was not accurately diagnosed until 2007. Doctors previously diagnosed her as bipolar, a condition also known as manic depression. As a result she was given anti-depressants and Valium, a drug used to help with anxiety but ineffective in helping the symptoms of schizophrenia.
Tulisa was just nine when the reality of her mother's illness hit her.
'My dad left home and it triggered one of her episodes,' she says. 'One minute she'd look all mournful as if someone had died, the next she'd be angry and aggressive, smashing cupboards and shouting. I wasn't allowed to turn on the TV because she thought it might harm us – the same with the hot water.
'It was impossible to have a conversation with my mum because she'd drift off into her own little world, but at the same time she didn't want me to go out and leave her so I couldn't even escape to a friend's house. I was like a prisoner in the flat with her.
'Inevitably, she went into hospital again and I stayed with my mum's older sister, Louise. She had children of her own and it was felt she was more able to look after a young girl.'
It was a pattern that was to repeat itself at least once a year throughout Tulisa's teenage years.
'I used to dread my mum getting better and coming home because it would mean I'd have to leave my aunt's house where I felt safe and happy and normal, and go back to living with someone whose mood could change as quick as flicking a switch.
'We lived in a tiny one-bedroom flat so there was nowhere to escape to whenever my mum became ill. The family tried to be supportive but my mum didn't want them interfering in our life and she made it very difficult for them to help.
'As a result I often felt isolated. I was 11 and my mum expected me to be her emotional support but I didn't really understand what that was. It was incredibly tough.'
Tulisa on stage with her N-Dubz bandmates Fazer and Dappy
But by the time Tulisa reached the age of 15, she began to rebel.
'I would always know when my mum was about to have an episode,' she says. 'She'd make dinner and the meat would be raw. She'd be lethargic one minute and then cleaning around the house unable to stop the next. I'd phone the hospital, explain her symptoms and they wouldn't want to know. I was young and they didn't take me seriously even though I was my mum's carer.
'In the end I'd have to take her to A&E to try to get her admitted. But often by the time I got back home from school the next day, the doctors would say they'd done an evaluation of her and she was fine to go home.
'Sometimes I would spend weeks taking her back and forward to A&E and then finally they would admit her and she'd be in hospital for up to three months.
'There were no support groups then and mental illness still had a terrible stigma that I think is slowly changing.
'I started losing respect for my mum. She couldn't take care of herself so I didn't see how she thought she could take care of me.
'If I wanted to go out with my friends, I did it because I felt I had no one to answer to. But she'd leave me 60 voice messages on my mobile, send up to 30 texts a day, phone all our family and even the police to tell them I'd gone missing or was misbehaving.
'She didn't want my friends in the house and didn't want me to go out. I started missing school and got in with a bad crowd.'
Tulisa says she then became depressed and started drinking because the only future she could see was 'more of the same. My life felt like a living hell and I couldn't see any escape'.
She first attempted suicide at the age of 14 by swallowing a handful of painkillers. Three years later, and alone one night, she slashed her wrists.
'They started bleeding really badly and the more blood I saw, the more I panicked because I realised what I was actually doing to myself.
'I grabbed a towel to stem the flow of blood and called a friend who came and helped me. Luckily I'd only cut the skin, not the vein.
'I know it was a classic cry for help and I decided I had to take myself out of the environment I'd been living in. So I went to stay with my dad, who also lived in North London. My dad knew what I'd been going through but I'd always chosen to live with my mum. Despite everything, I wanted to be there for her. I know my dad felt terrible for what I'd been through but he got really emotional and admitted that he just couldn't stand the constant ups and downs of her mood swings and the paranoia any more, which is why he left.
'Her mood swings were affecting him and making him so depressed he was becoming a different person. I totally understood how it had driven him to the brink and I know that he's sorry he left me to deal with it for all those years.'
Tulisa spent almost a year living with her father and, along with support from her uncle Byron, N-Dubz's former manager, she started getting her life back on track.
'Because my uncle and dad were in Mungo Jerry, me and Dappy (her cousin and fellow band member) used to hang around the recording studios.
'I loved writing songs and singing and I always dreamed of making it in the music business one day.'
N-Dubz went on to have hit singles with Better Not Waste My Time and I Swear. By the time Tulisa was 19, she already had a platinum-selling album under her belt.
She was able to buy a four-bedroom home in St Albans, Hertfordshire, and has thrown herself into a hectic schedule, determined that N-Dubz will continue to be a success.
But the best news has been that three years ago her mother was finally diagnosed with schizoaffective dis order and her behaviour has remained stable ever since.
'I'm not sure if it was a combination of better understanding of mental illness, better community care or that my mum just struck lucky with the doctors, but finally they realised that her medication wasn't working,' says Tulisa.
'They completely re-evaluated her case and she was diagnosed as having both bipolar and schizophrenia. Now she takes drugs to combat both. She's good at taking them and for the most part she has been stable.
'There are times when she'll say mad things. I'm in the middle of decorating the house and I had a bottle of white spirit in one of the rooms. When she saw I'd left a lighter nearby she started freaking out because she was convinced something dreadful would happen.
'But I can tell her to calm down and we can laugh about it now, whereas before it would have led to an argument. There are times when I get frustrated by her behaviour but at least now I have the space and freedom to escape from it.'
Tulisa admits: 'Medical experts don't seem to know for sure whether this disorder is hereditary. My own feeling is that everyone has the ability to become depressed or go to a dark place, and whether that could trigger the type of behaviour and illness my mum suffers, who knows?
'I believe a lot of it comes down to how strong you are mentally. I have been through a lot for someone my age but it has made me strong and determined and I have to pray that is enough for me not to suffer the way my mum has.'
She adds: 'No matter what has happened, I love my mum. She is happy for my success and I feel that for the first time in years I can have a more relaxed relationship with her.
'They say blood is thicker than water and it's true.'
Tulisa: My Crazy Mum is part of the Adult Season on BBC3, August 10, 9pm.

Playing with fire in Punjab
Akalis owe an explanation to the nation
by Kuldip Nayar
WHEN the Akalis are out of power, they indulge either in a dharam morcha or some act which would evoke religious passions among the Sikhs. But when they adopt the same tactics while in authority, it means that they want to divert attention from problems like unemployment, drug trafficking and farmers' lessening incomes.
To the horror of the country, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal filed the other day a mercy petition on behalf of Balwant Singh Rajoana, the killer of former chief minister Beant Singh. Now Badal's son, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh, is among those who have honoured the insurgents and a few others involved in resisting the Army which was deployed to flush them out from the Golden Temple at Amritsar. Both Badals are in charge of law and order. In a way, they are the custodians of the state. They have not realised even yet that they cannot carry out their duty if they side with militants.
I have been told they had to bow before "pressure". If the rulers have to act under the direction of insurgents, the state is in for uncertain times.Punjab has been through the phase from the mid-'70s to mid-'80s when the extremists had the upper hand and instilled fear among the Hindus that they were not safe in the state. A hiatus between the two communities began to be visible from that time. The insurgents have now founded a memorial for Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale who, once sponsored by the Congress, challenged the state from within the precincts of the GoldenTemple.
Sukhbir's explanation that the memorial was laid by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is not credible. The Akali Dal itself controls the SGPC. In fact, the Government of India should get at the root of the problem and scrap the Gurdwara Act. Let the entire Sikh community, not those who are on restrictive electoral rolls, run the gurdwaras.
The problem with the Akali Dal is that it does not differentiate religion from politics. Bhindranwale committed the same mistake and Punjab paid the price. I do not know what the Akalis have in mind because they are traversing the same dangerous path.
How embarrassed must have been Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a Sikh and the new Chief of Army Staff, Gen Bikram Singh, also a Sikh, over what the ruling Akali Dal did to glorify the insurgents who polluted theGolden Temple, the Sikhs' Vatican? The government had to employ the Army to destroy the barricades and the bunkers that Bhindranwale's men had built to fight against the Army. How can a memorial be built to perpetuate those who wanted to disintegrate the country and give a bad name to the Sikhs who are proud citizens of India?(...contd.)

Perhaps I was looking for something that wasn't advertised, but I didn't find The War Room to be a particularly revealing look at Clinton's 1992 campaign.

5.0 out of 5 stars Damage Control,
Michael Crane (Orland Park, IL USA) - See all my reviews
"The War Room" is an interesting documentary that shows you just exactly what goes on behind the scenes of a presidential campaign and all of the problems that can arise. Mostly centered around the Clinton campaign, we get a look at a man who is determined to be the next President of the United States. James Carville and George Stephanopoulos are the main brains behind the campaign, and they show it with their rapid thinking and reactions. The road to the White House proves to be a bumpy one for Clinton and company, as scandals surface and tabloid articles flood the newsstands. The people behind the campaign of Bill Clinton never get a break as they always have to be on their toes and figure out damage control. Even though you know how it all ends, it is still a tense and shocking film.
What I love the most about this documentary is that there is no overall narrator, and there really isn't an agenda to it. The film doesn't force-feed you a likable Clinton. The film's real purpose is to show you what happens during these campaigns. Even though it's centered around Clinton, this film really could've been about anyone. The film doesn't sugarcoat anything as it gives you the raw footage and shows you how both sides can play dirty. It was amazing to watch Carville and Stephanopoulos work the way they did, as I had no idea how much of an important role they played in Clinton's campaign.
I think this documentary can be enjoyed by anyone who is interested in how the system works. You really don't even have to like Clinton in order to enjoy it, as the film isn't trying to make it look like Clinton is a saint or anything like that. It is about how dirty people in these campaigns can fight, and it occurs on both sides. And since there is no overall narrator, there is really nothing in here that tells you that you should feel a certain way about it all. The DVD contains no special features, which is a shame.
I really enjoyed "The War Room," and I'm not a real big fan of politics. I think it presents an interesting look at what goes on behind the scenes. If you're looking for an entertaining documentary that is funny and tense, then this is definitely something you should consider checking out. A big triumph on all fronts, if you want my honest opinion. -Michael Crane

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Look at Political Campaigns,
V. Marshall (North Fork, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I happened to catch this documentary as I was reading "My Life" by Bill Clinton, it brought to life all of the hustle and bustle of his first Presidental campaign.
The real people involved in Clinton's first campaign for President are better characters than most actors. James Carville and George Stephanopoulos are the main focus of this film and they are true heroes. Clinton has moments where he shows all of his Southern charm but the real workhorses are Carville and Stephanopoulos who brave polls, reporters and other anti-Clinton politicians. It is an insiders view on how a campaign is won or lost behind the scenes just as easily as in front of all America. But is does make you question if the person who ends up in office is all they are cracked up to be or just a puppet pulled by the strings attached to his campaign managers.
A great film to watch if you love politics or if you are reading Bill Clinton's book. It gives an honest representation of how the wheels spin and the tides change at a moments notice. This film will convince you that political campaigns are calculated almost as professionally as a war and can take on the same persona.

5.0 out of 5 stars Documentary Wins in a Landslide,
Joseph J. Benik (Frederick, MD USA) - See all my reviews
The War Room is a documentary of the 1992 Clinton Presidential Campaign, beginning with the New Hampshire primary and ending on election night. Filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus have full access to all of the players, including Governor Clinton himself. But this film focuses very little on Clinton, spending the most time with James Carville, whose immense energy level propells this film from beginning to end. Other players are featured as well, including George Stepahopoulos, Paul Begala, Mary Matalin, and DeeDee Myers, among others.
This is a great documentary, and a must for students of political and election strategy. It shows how talented pros deal with polls, the press, schedules, scandals, and downtime. And it contains some golden moments, including a hilarious argument about posters at the convention, a tongue-in-cheek concession speech, and a speech by Carville to volunteers once the election was won. All told, The War Room is a pleasure to watch, and will serve as an important snapshot of political electioneering at the end of the 20th century.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, but true.,
Tim Hermetz (Cullman, Alabama) - See all my reviews
"The War Room" is a must-see for anyone interested in politics. Although Clinton campaign operative James Carville admits, "We changed the way campaigns are run," this historic documentary of modern-day politics is just a small glimpse into the inner workings of the Clinton-for-President Campaign in 1992.
After viewing the film, I asked, "Is that all there is?" (to win a presidential campaign). But in all honesty, I laughed, cried and cheered as I watched the film, enjoying every minute, except the end where I wanted to see a close up of the Clintons and Gores as they celebrated their election night victory from the statehouse stage in Little Rock. The end of the film seemed anti-climatic. No hype. No hoopla. And, that's where I expected the "big bang" -- news reports, TV election returns, headlines the morning after and lots and lots of partying to Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop (Thinkin' About Tomorrow)."
While I appreciated being a fly on the wall inside campaign headquarters and on the road, at times I felt like I was watching a high school or college student government campaign -- with all the joking and silliness that pervaded "The War Room." Much of the campaign "work" didn't really look like work on film because of campaign staffers' attitudes and antics. They seemed to really have fun working on the campaign -- with many key staffers treating it as a game, albeit a game with very high stakes.
Only near the end of the film do director of communications George Stephanopoulos and master manipulator James Carville seem to grasp what they've accomplished. "We helped changed America!"
But seldom is seen or heard the National Democratic Party hierarchy -- the fund-raisers, the state committee chairmen, the state campaign directors, the local party leaders, the thousands of volunteers needed to help make a national campaign a success. Only at a few campaign events -- and, eventually at the Democratic National Convention, do viewers of "The War Room" see the magnitude of this campaign. But instead of debating national policy or issues, the Clinton campaign staff is concerned with how TV networks will depict the convention crowd. "Do we make hand-lettered signs or use printed signs?" someone asks in a staff meeting the night before Clinton is nominated.
I wondered during the national convention segment of "The War Room" if Bill Clinton had a running mate. How nice it would have been to see the inner workings of the selection process for choosing Al Gore as vice president. Thankfully, Gore was not totally excluded from the picture. His dynamic stump speech, "Up is down, down is up ..." was absolutely awesome, making me wish I had been an active participant of the 1992, 1996 and 2000 presidential campaigns.
Another memorable speech from "The War Room" is President Bush's whiny "I'm damn tired" speech. Never have I seen or heard President Bush so angry. Little good his anger did him or the country. While Bush was getting angry, Clinton was getting votes -- campaigning across the country with thousands of smiles and handshakes. How rewarding it was to see candidate Clinton go from a small campaign plane to a huge jet (similar to Air Force One), after earning his party's nomination and respect.
"The War Room" reminded me how indecisive and devisive candidates Ross Perot and Jerry Brown were in 1992. While Clinton's presidency may not have been appreciated by everyone, it's still frightening for me to think how close we came to having Perot or Brown elected president in '92.
If there are any negatives about "The War Room" it's that the film doesn't really spotlight Clinton's superior campaign skills, including his charisma and intellect. Clinton knows how to connect with people and he has an uncanny ability to know what people want.
Clinton is a master politician -- and, in 1992, his dream team of campaign strategists and media handlers molded a campaign that was unbeatable, changing the course of history.
"The War Room" shows how effective Carville and Stephanopoulos were more than a decade ago, functioning as political and media strategists at the top of their game. But candidate Clinton is only occasionally featured in the film, with wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea shown a few times here and there. I would have liked to have seen more of the Clintons behind the scenes on the campaign trail and in strategy sessions.
George Stephanopoulos' "All Too Human -- A Political Education," a 456-page memoir published in 1999, is a highly recommended read for anyone wanting more details on Clinton's campaigns and presidency -- a real insider's view.
The gritty realism of the day-to-day operation of campaign headquarters in Little Rock coupled with Carville and Stephanopoulos' comments every step of the way made the "you-are-there" feeling of "The War Room" very real and very personal. I particularly enjoyed the opening hotel room sequence featuring an extreme close-up of Gov. Clinton conducting a media interview by telephone, as campaign staffers read newspapers nearby.
The counter media attacks waged by the Clinton campaign created numerous interesting segments in the film. I especially enjoyed seeing Carville and Stephanopoulos deal with the issue of Clinton's character -- dodging the draft and dodging allegations of a 12-year affair with Gennifer Flowers. Seeing Flowers as the scorned woman conducting her own news conference for the national media (much more than sound bites), accompanied by a media handler shouting down a heckler who asked if Gov. Clinton used a condom, is both fascinating and unreal.
"How'd he do that?" one might ask after considering all the obstacles that Clinton overcame to be elected president of the U.S. twice. "The War Room" is a good place to start to learn how "Slick Willie" survived media battles every day of his campaign and presidency.
I highly recommend "The War Room" as a wonderful way to begin to understand Clinton's magic and mystique.

CPUsports (Eastern Seaboard) - See all my reviews
If you enjoy the political process, you MUST see this documentary. As you know, it is an insider's look at the Clinton campaign in 1992.
You are a fly on the wall as the film especially focuses on the work of James Carville and George Stephanapolous.
It's compelling and occasionally funny. Even more interesting, Al Gore gives one hell of a speech, and I never thought of him as an orator.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Documentary on Electoral Politics,
hermione31 "hermione" (California) - See all my reviews
One of my all time favorite documentaries, The War Room depicts the behind the scene machinations of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. The documentary was originally supposed to be about the romance between chief Clinton strategist, James ( the "Ragin' Cajun") Carville, and Marlee Matilin, who, at the time, was a chief advisor to the George Bush campaign. But documentaries, like politics, have a way of taking on a life of their own, and The War Room turned into a cinema verité examination of a presidential election at work, through the eyes of the master, Carville, and George Stephanopoulos, Clinton's press secretary, with whom the audience identifies, idealist that he is.
The War Room gives one an opportunity to see up close the salesmanship, competitiveness, sincerity, frustration, and the unrelenting pace of king-making in politics. Carville and Stephanopoulos' work is exhilarating and exhausting. They are men of conviction, and have the battle-scars to prove it. As we watch the Convention showmanship, the strategies, the debates, and the cabin-fever come election day, we find ourselves knuckling down with our two guides and crossing our fingers as the results come in.
Hegedus and Pennebaker do a remarkable job of making the audience feel part and parcel of the Clinton campaign. Even more impressive, election strategy successes and failures come across as well. We see the Clinton strategists impressive "quick-response" system in action, as they do battle with the media over the Gennifer Flowers nightmare, and we see what at first seems to be a promising lead on the Bush campaign financing their sign-printing with foreign laborers fall off the nightly
news schedule.
Nobility and venality can coexist in the most talented and altruistic of people, but cannot be painlessly reconciled in the eyes of those who follow and admire them. This is a lesson lightly touched on by The War Room, and beaten over our heads by eight years that followed.
The War Room was an Academy Award nominee in the category of "Best Documentary."
5.0 out of 5 stars A must for political junkies - on both sides,
One can certainly take issue with the merits of the candidate Carville and Stephanopolous supported (and I do), but there is no denying the immense skill with which Clinton's '92 campaign was run. Watching Pennebaker and Hegedus' work, I was reminded of how difficult it was to be a Republican in 1992 (there would be better days to come). The War Room not only made it crystal clear why to me why, but reliving that campaign through the eyes of the opposition really reminded me of what it takes to win a campaign. The War Room captures both the thrill of the campaign (doesn't matter who's winning) and its intricacies. A segment from the Democratic Convention pits Harold Ickes against an operative who argues for distributing thousands of handpainted signs versus pre-printed blue placards is a hilarious reminder of what it's really like in the smoke-filled room.
Democrats will see this film to relive the moment of their greatest glory this side of JFK. Republicans need to see it for a more important reason: know your enemies.
2.0 out of 5 stars So What?,
Tim Hundsdorfer (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Perhaps I was looking for something that wasn't advertised, but I didn't find The War Room to be a particularly revealing look at Clinton's 1992 campaign. The advertised thrust that they changed the way campaigns were won is lost because the movie provides no point of reference to other ways to run a campaign.
It's pretty obvious that Carville is aware of the camera (though Stephanopolous seems more genuine) and the only time we get a real insider's look at the campaign is when they discover that Bush campaign materials were being printed in Brazil and attempt to orchestrate network coverage. That's what I was looking for in The War Room and it dissipates as quickly as it materializes. Carville's performance, given to rants and explitives, shows either 1) he is a very enigmatic figure or 2) cultivating an image of being a very enigmatic figure. Someone that not only gets Clinton elected but re-elected simply cannot be that impulsive.
Finally, it ends too soon. Stephanopolous' enthusiasm at Clinton's election didn't make it through the Clinton administration, and this might suggest dissolutionment that would be very interesting juxtaposed with his enthusiasm on election night (maybe room for a sequel?)
In the end, The War Room ends up being voyeurism for political junkies without the experience to know what really goes on in a campaign and with insufficient context to answer the question posed: Why was Clinton/Gore 92 a different kind of campaign? It was, but The War Room doesn't tell us why it was.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great glimpse inside the strategy room,
Erin Esposito "esposito" (Rochester, New York) - See all my reviews
The War Room is an excellent documentary that takes the viewer behind the scenes of the Clinton 1992 campaign. This video shows more of the tactics, strategies and means of how the Clinton campaign operated. James Carville and George Stephanopolus truly were masterminds in orchestrating an excellent presidential campaign. This video should be viewed by any political science major, or individual who plans to go into political consulting. Then again, having just about any individual watch the video will educate the viewer about an important component and function of any election process - the campaign.
The War Room - a phrase which is ever so fitting and appropriate for Clinton's campaign operations - represents the concept of strategizing and winning.
It has a superb touch to it, in the respect that it not only shows the process of campaigning, but it also shows the feelings and the "human side" of the individuals involved.
Highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars He Killed Elephants Before Breakfast,
David Bradley "David Bradley" (Sterling, VA USA) - See all my reviews
What gauled his 1992 Democratic rivals in the primaries, infuriated Ross Perot all summer long, belittled George Bush in the general election, and humiliated Bob Dole four years later, was Bill Clinton's seemingly effortless ability to out-campaign anybody. Say what you want about Clinton as President, as a campaigner he was absolutely invincible.
THE WAR ROOM turns part of that perception on its head: the '92 Clinton campaign was anything but effortless. From the get-go, Carville and Stephanopoulus are scrambling to stay ahead of the scandal-a-day strategy the GOP used.
Luckily for them, the Bush team focused on spinning rooms full of political reporters and forgot to campaign.
If I could change one thing about THE WAR ROOM it would be to have spent more time with Carville. The Rajin' Cajun may annoy his opponents to distraction, but the man can talk, and he's the most successful campaign strategist of our time.

Disney World on a Dime: Great Money-Saving Tips
Book your Disney World vacation online. I've done a lot of comparison shopping and always found the cheapest rates by booking each component -- air, ground transportation, and hotel -- myself. The best unofficial Disney site I've found is www.disneyinfo.com. Disney's own Website, www.disneyworld.com, is also a good source of information.

Before you start planning your vacation, find out whether your company or credit union belongs to the Magic Kingdom Club. Membership entitles you to discounts on four-day Park Hopper and Length of Stay passes as well as Disney dining, hotels, and merchandise. If your employer is not a member, call 714-781-1550 to request an application.

The key for our family of six is traveling off-season. We went the day after Labor Day. We got six round-trip airline tickets from Minneapolis, four nights at the Quality Suites, and a five-day rental on a minivan, all for $1,000. It was a great vacation.
Lakeville, MN
We were able to afford the convenience and services of a Disney resort by booking a package vacation at Walt Disney World's least expensive properties, one of the All-Star Resorts. As AAA members, we were entitled to an additional discount on our already-affordable off-season lodging and admission package. For less than $70 a night, we enjoyed free shuttle buses, two pools, a game room, and a food court.

Centerville, OH
Taking our large family to Disney can be expensive. None of Disney's budget resorts will book a family of five in one room (unless one of those children is a baby). So if you don't want to splurge on one of Disney's luxury properties or on two rooms, choose a hotel outside the park gates. We like Quality Suites (407-396-8040); the hotel is clean and has a pool.
Tinley Park, IL
We booked a two-bedroom suite with microwave and coffeemaker at the Lake Buena Vista Holiday Inn Family Suites for $59 a night. With the hotel's free shuttle to all Disney parks, free breakfast, and kids-eat-free deal, we saved a bundle.
Tampa, FL
Contact the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau Inc. at 800-643-9492 or www.go2orlando.com, and request the Orlando Magicard. The card saved us up to $50 a night on a hotel and entitled us to discounts on a rental car.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new continuing education course, Obesity: Understanding, Prevention, and Management, offered by Arizona State University.
In Obesity: Understanding, Prevention, and Management, the student learns about obesity from the following three perspectives: medical, behavioral, and anthropological. The course consists of thirteen modules that are geared toward gaining understanding about the causes of obesity and current trends, assessing the influences on obesity in the student's own life, and adopting new habits and behaviors that can help the student to lead a healthier lifestyle. Course materials are presented by the three directors of Obesity Solutions; Dr. James A. Levine from the medical standpoint, Elizabeth Capaldi-Phillips, PhD from the behavioral standpoint, and Alexandra Brewis Slade, PhD from the anthropological standpoint. Additionally, information from other experts will be combined with viewpoints from lay people to obtain a more holistic understanding of obesity.
Along with viewing course materials, students will complete a course journal that will help them to understand their own genetics, habits, and environment to understand their personal health landscape.

I know that you may have received an email asking you to take action to sign the We The People petition asking the Obama Administration to have an open and transparent process for selecting NCUA's leadership. I am asking you if you have not already done so, to please take the time right now to sign the petition (it only takes a couple of minutes) and help make a difference in how credit unions are regulated. I would also ask you to strongly encourage your staff to sign the petition so that we can reach the 100,000 signatures necessary to receive a response to the petition.
The future direction of the credit union movement depends on having regulatory leadership which understands both the industry and the cooperative principals by which we operate.
Thanks in advance for making your voice heard!

So now that I get to sleep through the night occasionally, I'm going to try to post more recipes– all will be easy, and in my opinion, yummy!
Here's a recipe for pizza dough! I never realized how easy it is, with how few ingredients!

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Devyn Marble scored 18 points and Mike Gesell added 15 as Iowa beat Central Michigan 73-61 on Monday night.
Aaron White had 14 points and nine rebounds for the Hawkeyes (2-0), who couldn't pull away against the inexperienced Chippewas until a 14-3 run midway through the second half. Gesell powered the key stretch for the Hawkeyes, hitting two 3-pointers and assisting on another.
Kyle Randall scored 17 points for Central Michigan (0-1). The Chippewas cut the lead to seven points with 4 ½ minutes left, but got no closer.
First-year Central Michigan coach Keno Davis, the son of former Hawkeye coach Tom Davis, was an undergraduate assistant for his father at Iowa from 1991-95.

Toxic Pesticides
Because of the high toxicity of conventional pesticides and the high levels of exposure to people and pets that result from their use, it is wise to avoid them whenever possible. Pesticides are products that are designed to kill living organisms and should be treated with caution. If pesticides are used, it is best to go with baits or crack and crevice spot treatments and use the least toxic pesticide only after non-toxic alternatives have been tried.
Toxic pesticides are found in thousands of products that are used in your home, garden, school, workplace, parks, along rights-of-way and on farms. They are used to kill a range of pests, including insects, rodents, weeds, fungi, bacteria and mildew. They can be inhaled, absorbed through your skin, and ingested. Many people assume that, because pesticides use is so common, it must not be harmful; however, U.S. EPA registration of a pesticide does not mean that it is safe.
The list below contains many of the commonly used pesticide active ingredients that are toxic to human health and the environment and are not recommended for use in most cases. This category contains pesticides that are determined by U.S. EPA to be a possible, likely, or known carcinogen, mutagen, teratogen, reproductive toxin, developmental neurotoxin, endocrine disrupter, and/or immune system toxin.
Click on a pesticide to view a fact sheet and learn more. For a quick reference, see Beyond Pesticides' table showing the health effects of toxic pesticides commonly used in lawn care and structural pest control. If you don't see what you're looking for on the list below, or for more information on a specific product, including links to factsheets, basic chemical, alternatives, health and environmental effects, regulatory status, key studies and moreplease visit our Pesticide Gateway page.

Reviews The Siq
The Siq
To reach the pleasant city of Petra, one has to pass through The Siq, a long passage through a split in the rock, with a unique yet unimpressive entrance.
The Siq can be explored on foot or by riding. It is believed that when the mountain was split into two, the action of the waters of the Wadi Musa and the winds transformed the sharp edges into smooth curves.
The Siq changes shape, with wide and sunlit spaces at one end, while the formation narrows at the other end blocking out the daylight and heat. The walls on either side are magnificent, most of them being up to 100 meters in height.
The originally paved floor is now layered with soft sand. There are channels in the walls of the Siq which carry drinking water to the city and a dam is situated to the right of the entrance that prevents it flooding.
While going through this 1,200 meters of excitement and wonder, visitors will also come across some niches, shrines and carvings.

Sorry Redeemed
MS is trying to push an OS that's geared towards a very small niche market, momma leaning over the counter to look up a recipe
Touch screens are very successful where they are most practical, tablets and phones, and even some tablets have keyboards that can be attached.
MS is banking on the market suddenly being flooded with touch screen PCs and no matter how it's done, one segment of the market or another is going to be *at best* inconvenienced. It's like someone said at the previews release, why would they want to alienate such a huge portion of their user base?
Bad design decisions, bad marketing strategy, disregarding the vast majority of their user base for what amounts to a change for the sake of saying "We did it differently!"
Yeah, I hope 8 ends horribly for MS.

Supermarkets weighed on FTSE indices, which were lower midday, after Tesco (TSCO) named its new CEO aside a bleak trading update, with energy plays and broader retail-sector stocks also falling.
Near noon, the FTSE 100 was down 16.62 points, or 0.25%, to 6732.83, and the FTSE250 was down 81.33 points, or 0.52%, to 15,475.5.
In the US Friday, the Dow rose 123 points at 17,100, the Nasdaq gained 69 points at 4,432 and the S&P 500 advanced 20 points to 1,978. In Asia today, the Hang Seng closed down 68 points at 23,387. Markets in Japan are closed for a public holiday.
Supermarkets titan Tesco (TSCO) ticked 2.73% higher to 292.78p as news of CEO Philip Clarke's imminent departure offset the impact of another profits warning and further downgrades. Clarke would be replaced by well-regarded Unilever (ULVR) man Dave Lewis in October, having endured a punishing time at the helm.
Tesco also warned that trading conditions have worsened since its Q1 update. A tough grocery market twinned with increasing investment to win back customers meant H1 sales and trading profit 'are somewhat below expectations'.
Peers suffered. Sainsbury (SBRY) fell 1.19% to 320.85p and Morrisons (MRW) eased 2.16% to 174.15p. Marks & Spencer (MKS) was, however, up 0.25% to 436.8p. Unilever (ULVR) rose 0.17% to 2636.5p on news of Lewis departure for Tesco.
In the broader retail-related sector, Reckitt Benckiser (RB.) fell 0.35% to 5017.5p, while Next (NXT) eased 0.65% to 6487.5p, and Burberry (BRBY) lost 0.69% to 1443p.
Concerns over tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East kept investors in caution mode. Some energy stocks were on the back foot as a result. Wood Group (WG.) lost 1.69% to 754p, Petrofac (PFC) lost 1.3% to 1176.5p, Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) fell 0.67% to 2394.75p, and Cairn Energy (CNE) gave up 1.11% to 186.5p.
Tullow Oil (TLW) fell 0.16% to 769.75p on announcing that the first exploration well at its PL 507 project offshore Norway has come up dry.
Insurers were prominent fallers with Prudential (PRU), Admiral (ADM) and RSA Insurance (RSA) all softer.
New from Rightmove of a slowdown in UK house prices in June dented the house builders. Barratt Developments (BDEV) dropped 1.73% to 357.3p and Persimmon (PSN) fell 1.18% to 1260p.
Profitable outdoor clothing and footwear designer Fraspens, the third biggest outdoor clothing brand by sales in China, according to Euromonitor, announced its intention to float on the junior AIM market next month.
Acquisitive veterinary surgeries operator CVS (CVSG:AIM) skipped 4.73% higher to 337.5p on a positive year-end update showing like-for-like sales up 6.9% in the year to 30 June.
Branded retail products developer LiteBulb (LBB:AIM) rose 5.68% to 0.93p on news it has bagged over £4 million of orders. New customers include retailers Boots, Next (NXT), Marks & Spencer (MKS) and Sainsbury's (SBRY).
Mobile money network Monitise (MONI:AIM) rose 0.9% to 42.63p as it extended its global cloud commerce partnership with US IT giant IBM (IBM:NYSE). That was some relief after a revenue warning earlier this month.
Investors seem to be warming to recovery potential at x-ray kit designer Kromek (KMK:AIM) as the dusts settled post its shock profits alert in March. The shares rallied 6.8% to 55p, back beyond 51p IPO price.
Commercial property investor Schroder Real Estate Investment Trust (SREI) gained 1.22% to 52.38p on net assets rising 4.3% to 50.7p a share in Q2.
Brickmaker Michelmersh (MBH) barely budged, up just 0.69% to 73.25p despite interims revealing an 8% rises in revenue and operating margins.
BSkyB slipped 1.58% to 903p on news it has acquired a 70% stake in Love Productions, one of the UK's leading independent production companies.
Engineering support services group Babcock International rose 0.86% to 1109.5p when it said it remains confident of continued strong progress during this year. Babcock says that across all its businesses, the 2014-15 financial year has started well. It says activity levels remain high and trading is in line with expectations.
