Tom Cruise takes Suri to Walt Disney World
Tom Cruise has been spending some quality daddy-daughter time with Suri, taking the six-year-old to Walt Disney World in Florida.
Just weeks after his divorce from Katie Holmes, the 50-year-old star strolled through the park hand-in-hand with his daughter, who was dressed up as Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid, and alongside his sister Cass Mapother.
A number of visitors to the park spotted the star, with Marianne Cohen of Tampa telling People magazine that Suri "looked like she was in heaven".
"It was really cute. She was walking around like she owned the place, having the time of her life, and Tom, who looked really handsome, was talking to her, was really engaging with her," she said.
Numerous fans took to Twitter, posting pictures of their celebrity sighting.
Since the announcement on June 29 that Katie was filing for divorce from Tom, Suri has been mostly spotted out and about with her mum taking in the sights of New York, while Tom was busy working on his new film Oblivion.
Tom and Suri were reunited a month after the divorce and have been snapped spending one-on-one time together on a couple of occasions, including a helicopter ride to the Hamptons for the afternoon.

West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin is tackled by Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro during a game in October.
INDIANAPOLIS - When it comes to figuring out the Bengals' safeties, there's Reggie Nelson and ?
That is why the position is considered by most to be a need going into the NFL Draft. Chris Crocker is a free agent and would be entering his 11th season in the league, while Taylor Mays is still trying to find his niche. Nate Clements, who also is an unrestricted free agent, played safety more than half the time last year but saw his snaps decrease significantly during the second half of the season.
After that, there are a lot of young and unproven guys. Fifth-round pick George Iloka didn't play a defensive ...

The Bedford Township Summerfest run for years by the Lambertville Civic Club has been canceled for 2013.
The annual festival generally held in June at Parmelee Park was dropped for several reasons, said Richard Blakeman, president of the 21-member club.
"It's a little bit of everything," Mr. Blakeman, an 18-year club member, explained Monday.
"We are short on numbers and the economy has not been good. The weekend we usually have it is on Father's Day and there's a race at MIS (Michigan International Speedway) this year and several of our members are going."
He said the club still is planning to hold a car show July 27 at the park off Monroe Rd. and may consider holding the festival again next year.
"It's been a rough year. Maybe we can look at it again next year," he said.

Sandy Hess of Webster was one of a group of runners in the Rochester half marathon running for Gilda's Club.
- Filed Under
Monique Adams of Rochester doesn't consider herself a big athlete. But there she was, on a warm Saturday last July, in week four of her 15-week training to walk in the Rochester half-marathon on Sept. 23. She kept a brisk pace with her friend Denise Marquez of Farmington. Their regimen represented a very personal commitment, but also much more.
Marquez and Adams were part of a group of about 30 people calling themselves Gilda's Gang, who trained to run or walk in the Rochester half-marathon to raise money for Gilda's Club and its programs for people affected by cancer. It was the group's fifth ...

The Toronto Ambassador Program offers a unique opportunity for both you and your organization. We do all the legwork required to support your efforts. Read what past hosts have had to say:
Your ability to review and analyze the ISC host society requirements was instrumental in our successful bid. Tourism Toronto's support in meeting those requirements and presenting them in a succinct bid booklet was greatly appreciated by the members of the ISC Council.
As well the assistance you provided in developing our powerpoint presentation was invaluable and allowed me to focus on the science of the proposed programme.
The coaching advice provided before we went to Durban, South Africa... certainly provided us with a competitive advantage once we were on site lobbying the delegates.
Once again, thank you very much for your assistance to AMMI Canada in winning the 2009 International Society of Chemotherapy World Congress in 2009.
Your guidance and impartial direction during the site selection process assured the city of Toronto of our international congress... Tourism Toronto provided us with all the information we required... that Toronto was the right choice. Then you provided us with the necessary photos and unique selling points for us to market to an international audience.
One of our main goals was to attract international delegates to our International Foot and Ankle Congress. Toronto's airline access was a major factor along with the international appeal of Toronto in helping us surpass our expectations for international physician attendance.
I am known as a New Orleans chauvinist, but I confess Tourism Toronto's hospitality surpassed ours! You serviced and guided us not only before the contract was signed, but also stayed with (us) throughout the whole process resolving issues important to us during and even after our congress. Toronto is blessed to have you and the staff you have assembled to promote and service the congress industry...
The (hotel's) flexible first class facilities combined with impeccable service, a management team that walked out of a textbook for five-star leadership, an international cuisine worthy of Toronto's reputation, a friendly yet elegant ambiance all contributed to a dazzling success for our international delegates and our event.
Your city is truly world class. The tourism infrastructure is second to none. Just as Tourism Toronto... promised...

ALBANY, Ga. — Three historians from New York and Texas will share their expertise with Southwest Georgians as the Albany Civil Rights Institute (ACRI) kicks off the 50th Anniversary of the Albany Movement at 7 p.m. Saturday at the ACRI.
Professor Hasia Diner of New York University will discuss the relations between Jewish Americans and African Americans during the civil rights movement. The next night at 7:30, professors Emilye Crosby (State University of New York at Geneseo) and Todd Moye (University of North Texas) will discuss what historians have gotten wrong about the Albany Movement and how local studies can get the stories straight.
Later the next week, five Albany Movement leaders and participants — Horace C. Boyd, Charles M. Sherrod, Danny Lyon, William G. Anderson, and Rutha Mae Harris — will discuss their roles in the movement when the Albany Civil Rights Institute (ACRI) celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Albany Movement beginning the next week.
On Monday, Nov. 14, Boyd and Sherrod will examine the role of the church in the Southwest Georgia Movement. The following night, Danny Lyon will discuss his role as a civil rights photographer. On Thursday, Nov. 17, Anderson, the first president of the Albany Movement, will reflect on the movement's 50th anniversary.
Concluding the weeklong celebration on Friday evening, Nov. 18, Rutha Harris will lead the ACRI Freedom Singers in a discussion and performance celebrating the important role of music in the civil rights movement in Southwest Georgia.
The role of the church was central to the civil rights movement. It is no coincidence that the Albany Civil Rights Institute's museum began in Old Mt. Zion Church and that the church is the most significant artifact in the museum's collection.
Boyd was pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, across the street from Old Mt. Zion, in 1961. Fifty years later, he remains the leader of that congregation. He was one of the first pastors to open his church's door to the movement.
Sherrod was one of the first Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) field workers to organize in southwest Georgia in the fall of that year. Both ministers came to the civil rights movement by different paths and played different roles in Albany.
Last week the Albany Civil Rights Institute opened its photographic exhibition, "Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement: The Photography of Danny Lyon," curated by Holly Stiegel.
Lyon will discuss his experiences as a photographer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Following his presentation, Lyon will lead a gallery tour of the exhibition and have a book signing of his lavishly illustrated photographic history, "Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement."
The evening will conclude with a reception sponsored by Helen Young.
Thursday, Nov. 17, is the 50th anniversary of the organization of the Albany Movement in the home of dentist E.D. Hamilton. That evening the new organization elected osteopath Anderson to serve as first president of the Albany Movement.
The presentations by movement participants Boyd, Sherrod, Lyon, Anderson, and Harris will be held at 7:30 p.m. at ACRI, 326 Whitney Avenue, Albany. They are free and open to the public.

Reviews For FINDING HOME SERIES Book 1: THE BARGAIN by Catherine Stang
"The Bargain is book one of Catherine Strang's Finding Home series and if the others are anything like the first one, then you are in for a wonderful array of emotions, laughter and love. The first few paragraphs of this story had me giggling like a school girl with the relationship between Cassie and Rachel and Cassie's first meeting with the good doctor. Ms. Strang has taken an era that was known for its conflict and inject it into a romance story that is poignant and real. The men of this story, Joel especially leaves you wanting to smack them for being so protective but kiss them for being true men. The women of this tale makes you laugh, cry and get angry only to moan and fall in love all over again. I for one will be looking forward the the other books in Ms. Strang's Finding Home series.

Sample Chapter For FINDING HOME SERIES Book 1: THE BARGAIN by Catherine Stang
Petersburg, Virginia
Her worst nightmare had come true. Cassandra Beaumont paced around the porch, squeezing the polished gun butt tight as she watched a group of Union soldiers ride brazenly through her yard. The roar of distant cannon fire set her already raw nerves on edge.
Please let me remember Tyler's lessons on using the gun.
She jumped, almost shooting herself in the foot when the door creaked open behind her and her younger sister Rachel poked her head out. "Are you sure you don't need my help?"
"Positive. Your job is to take care of the others."
"But…" she protested.
"I'm finished arguing." Cassandra grabbed the doorknob, pulling it shut to emphasize her point.
Unable to resist getting in the last word, Rachel cracked the door open again. "Just remember it was my idea to get Father's revolver, and I'm a better shot than you."
Cassie didn't have to be reminded Rachel was a hoyden who loved to ride and shoot with their older brothers. But that was all the more reason for Rachel to stay inside, away from the temptation to do something impulsive. Besides, Cassie was the oldest of the ones left at home. It was her responsibility to protect them.
"I mean it," she snapped, hoping this time Rachel would listen to her.
There was long, dramatic sigh. "I'm going." She jerked the door shut, making Cassandra jump in spite of herself.
She held her breath, listening for the sounds of Rachel's retreating footsteps. Good. Her sister was gone. Cassie exhaled slowly, steeling her rattled nerves as the soldiers brought their horses to a stop in front of the porch.
She regretted now she hadn't practiced shooting a gun when she'd had the chance, instead of making excuses not to try. She'd always hated shooting. Just the thought of doing so made her quiver. The smell of gunpowder would burn her nose and the kickback would leave her wrist numb and shoulder aching for days. Being courageous alone in her father's office was easy, but facing down Union soldiers was another story. Yet what else could she do? Somehow she had to protect her younger sister, her little niece and her very pregnant sister-in-law.
With her head held high, Cassandra willed herself not to let her fear show. If she got lucky, maybe they'd believe she was a crack shot. When pigs fly. She fumbled with the revolver. Was one bullet going to be enough? That was all she could find. Dear heavens, how had she ever convinced herself this was a good plan?
A tall man in an officer's uniform started toward the porch. He had a powerful build, with a ruggedly handsome face. Thick, tawny-gold hair curled slightly around the collar of his blue coat. Sweet mercy, did he have to be so handsome? What the devil was wrong with her that she could even think about that?
Her mouth dried as he strode purposefully up the four brick steps to the top of the porch. With shaky hands, she raised the revolver, aiming it at his heart. Yet he didn't seem worried as he slowly lifted his arms in the air, moving toward her with his unreadable amber eyes locked with hers. Their calmness terrified her. Why wasn't he threatened by the gun in her hand? The pulse pounded in her ears as each step brought their inevitable confrontation closer.
When he stood just a few steps away, his stony expression gradually changed. His amber eyes lowered, perusing the weapon she held in her trembling hands. She had to act nonchalant. Heaven help her.
"You get back or I'll blow you off this porch." She waved the gun at him in a "move away" gesture.
He didn't retreat as she'd hoped. Instead, he kept inching toward her, watching her with cool, assessing eyes. "I mean you no harm." His voice had a deep, resonate, velvet quality that sent a shiver through her. "I just want to talk, angel. That's all."
That wasn't all, and she damn well knew it. Cassandra's hands shook more from fear than the cold. Chin up. Remember others are counting on you.
"I'm not fooling. If you come any closer, your men will be burying you this afternoon." Her voice began quivering, despite her attempts to sound threatening. Legs braced apart, she lifted her chin, proudly staring the stranger down.
She almost lost her breakfast when he moved right up in front of her, so close the cold steel barrel pressed against his massive chest.
She squeezed the trigger, and to her horror, nothing happened. What the blazes… She flinched when he leaned over closer, whispering, "I'll keep your secret this time, angel, but next time you aim a gun at someone's heart, I recommend you cock it first. It won't fire unless you do."
Her face flushed with mortification. Drat, she knew there was something she had forgotten to do. She wanted to kick herself. How could she have been so stupid? She was better at planning than this.
It took only a matter of seconds for him to disarm her. He then held her wrists in a firm, but gentle grip. His thumbs brushed over them, sending tingles rippling down her arms.
"There now," he drawled as he released her and she took a quick step back. "I'd say that's more conducive to talking. I'm Major Joel Bradshaw, Chief Medical Officer. I assume you're Cassandra Beaumont."
She nodded, her throat too dry to speak.
He watched her for a long moment, hesitating before reaching into his coat, and pulling out a piece of paper. Handing it to her, he said, "I have an order here for you to clear out. Your house is now under the authority of the federal government. Gather your things, and we'll escort you out of here."
She reluctantly accepted it. Her eyes blurred with tears as she read the official eviction notice. Swallowing hard, she lifted her gaze to meet his. Which was a mistake because the concern she saw there was almost her undoing. "W-what do you need my house for?"
"It will be the site of a much-needed hospital."
A hospital… Holy… Did that mean… "Then you're a doctor?"
"That's right, ma'am."
Her mind raced with the implications of what he was saying. Her own brother, Jamie, was a doctor, so he had established a surgery in their house. How would he feel about Yankees using it? Surely he wouldn't stand for it any more than her other brother Tyler would. Should she?
Her chin jutted up defiantly. "What if I refuse to leave?"
"You don't have a choice. My men will be here soon to start setting up."
That didn't give them much time. "Then you'll have to take us kicking and screaming."
"Us?" He lifted a tawny brow.
"That's right, my sister in-law, niece and younger sister are here. Is that what you've sunk to, kicking out women and children?"
He looked more flustered now than when she was waving the gun at him.
"You'll what? Find someone to take us in? Because we aren't budging until you do. Good day, Major." A noise in the house made her wonder how long it would take for Rachel to come flying out. Knowing she couldn't fight both of them, she spun on her heels, slamming the door in his face, hoping he'd leave, but knowing she wouldn't be that lucky.
* * * *
As she stormed into the house, Cassandra collided with seventeen-year-old Rachel, who appeared from her hiding place behind the faded, green velvet curtains. The guilty expression on Rachel's face made it clear she hadn't been upstairs at all.
With both hands on her hips, Cassie glared at her younger sister.
Tilting her chin defiantly, Rachel glared right back. "You should've let me go out there with you. I'd have—"
"Shot him? Don't think I didn't try."
"Did you lose your nerve at the last minute? Tyler always said to pull the trigger before you do or else there's no sense in taking the gun with you. You'll just get it taken away and maybe even turned on yourself."
"I did pull the trigger, but nothing happened." Cassandra winced at her own words.
Rachel's mouth dropped open as realization of what had happened dawned on her. "You didn't cock it, did you? See, you should've let me handle it. At least I wouldn't have gotten it taken away from me."
No, you probably just would have gotten yourself killed. That thought sent a shiver up Cassandra's spine. It was her job now to keep Rachel from doing anything rash. She said in an even tone, "Well, it's done and over and there's no going back."
A shadow of annoyance crossed Rachel's face. Her blue eyes darkened. "How can you be so calm when that…that…" She waved her hands aimlessly in the air before blurting out, "That damn Yankee is going to kick us from our home. Why, the nerve of him, thinking we'll leave on his say-so just like that." She snapped her fingers. "Who does he think he is?"
"He's the Chief Medical Officer, and it isn't just his say-so alone." She pulled out the order and handed it to her sister. "He gave me this."
Balling it up without even bothering to look at it, Rachel tossed the paper at her. "You should have told him to go to—"
"That's quite enough. You wouldn't know what I did or didn't say to Major Bradshaw if you hadn't been listening, instead of being upstairs like I told you to."
"I felt it was my duty to check on you, in case you needed help."
Cassandra was relieved that, for once, her sister hadn't jumped headlong into trouble. "At least you stayed in the house."
"If I'd thought Major Rudeshaw was going to hurt you, I'd have done more than listen. But you gave up too fast for me to act."
"Well now, there's a blessing." She let out a frustrated breath. "I had no choice. I couldn't fight them." Cassandra snorted. "Hell's bells, I didn't even remember how to fire the blasted gun."
"So that's it? Are we going to give up the land our grandfather settled, without a fight?"
She dropped her head back against the door. Sweet mercy, she was tired. Her parents would be disgraced if they saw what had become of their beloved plantation. She could remember when the floors used to be polished until they shone, but now they were dirty and scuffed. Everything in the house was coated with a layer of dust. With chores to do and a garden that needed tending, she and Rachel never had enough time for everything. Her sister-in-law Eleanor had helped some, until her legs began swelling. As she grew bigger with child, Ellie had a harder time getting around.
Cassie felt a wave of sadness as her gaze scanned the sparsely furnished room which had once overflowed with knick-knacks. Most of their belongings had either been sold or traded for food. A couple of chairs and her mother's piano were all that remained. Now that the Yankees were moving in, no doubt these, too, would be lost.
Rachel was right. How could they just leave? This house had been built by their grandparents, who were buried in the family plot nestled under its trees.
Where could they go? The whole town was under siege. The places that weren't burned out were overrun with Yankees. Besides, who would want four extra women right now? She and Rachel could work for their keep, but Lucy was only seven years old, and poor Ellie could have her baby at any time now.
Tense silence enveloped the room. Outside, sounds of distant fighting mingled with the pounding of her heart.
When their brother Jamie signed up as an army doctor, Cassandra promised him that she'd care for his wife Eleanor and daughter Lucy. At that time it seemed like a simple promise. Back then, during the early days of Petersburg's siege, the South had appeared victorious. Jamie's unit had been stationed nearby and he checked on them frequently.
A cold finger of dread crept up her spine as she thought about how fast things had changed. When the Yankees began winning more battles last year, Ellie's father and brothers had been killed and their plantation burned, along with many others. Ellie's mother died shortly after that from burns she'd received while trying to rescue her valuables.
With the passing months, the pain of loss was overshadowed by the daily grind of surviving. Excitement over Ellie's pregnancy was short-lived as her sister-in-law struggled each month to keep from losing her baby.
Her eyes flickered over her younger sister's drawn face. Somehow she had to find them a place to go. But where? How could she protect them from the Yankees when she couldn't even remember how to fire a gun? A gun she no longer had. What was she going to do? Ice ran through her veins at the thought of those soldiers getting their grubby hands on Rachel or Ellie or, heaven forbid, hurting Lucy. Tyler had warned her it would be better to take their own lives than to fall into Yankee hands. Could she really do that? Now she didn't even have a gun…
The pounding of little feet running down the stairs brought her out of her dark thoughts.
"Aunt Cassie, Aunt Rachel," a small voice rang out, as her niece Lucy appeared, charging around the corner with her black hair bobbing in a loose braid. She almost tripped over the hem of her torn dress as she skidded to a stop. "Mama needs you!"
Rachel and Cassandra exchanged looks as they bolted up the steps.

Aereo beat in Tenth Circuit; must shut down in Salt Lake City, Denver
updated 10:42 pm EST, Wed February 19, 2014
First legal defeat curtails operations in eight states
Internet "over-the-air" television video streaming service Aereo has been handed its first defeat in its ongoing court battles with conventional broadcasters, and the verdict is a significant one. Judge Dale A. Kimball of the Utah federal court system ruled that the streamer is violating the copyrights of broadcasters with its service in the states of Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming, and segments of Montana and Idaho.
As part of the Federal Communication Commission's charter to the broadcasters, they must make their content available over the air, for free, to the locality they serve in exchange for use of the publicly-owned airwaves. Aereo captures this broadcast, using arrays of tens of thousands of mini antennae, and streams this content to subscribers at their convenience.
Aereo argued that with its service, it is guaranteeing users' legal rights to the content that the broadcasters are mandated to serve. Broadcasters argue that Aereo, despite using one antenna for each customer as required by previous rulings relevant to Aereo's use, is still infringing by re-transmitting its content over the Internet. Aereo doesn't strip out television commercials paid for by advertisers, or alter the broadcaster's content in any way.
As a result of the ruling, Aereo's operation in Salt Lake City, UT, and Denver, CO will have to be shuttered. "The 1976 Copyright Act supports the Plaintiffs' position," Judge Kimball wrote. "Aereo's retransmission of Plaintiffs' copyrighted programs is indistinguishable from a cable company," and as such, Aereo must negotiate re-broadcasting fees with the broadcasters.
Aereo founder and chief Chet Kanojia said in a statement about the ruling that "consumers have a fundamental right to watch over-the-air broadcast television via an antenna and to record copies for their personal use. We are very sorry for the effect on our valued customers in the Tenth Circuit, and we will pursue all avaiable remedies."
The case will be heard by the Supreme Court in the future, with the survival of the online service at stake. Should Aereo prevail in the Supreme Court, it will see fewer court battles nationwide, and larger freedom to operate without pressure from broadcasters in markets it enters. Additionally, a Supreme Court ruling in Aereo's favor permitting operation will invalidate the ruling made in the Tenth Circuit.

Emma Watson might have herself a brand spanking new boyfriend in the shape of Oxford student Matthew Janney, but it looks like she's setting up home across the pond as the Harry Potter star is said to be house hunting in New York.
The actress, who was spotted jetting into the Big Apple, has reportedly been spotted house hunting on the Upper East Side in a building where apartments are selling for $15 million.
The 23 year-old, according to the New York Post, Page Six was spotted checking out properties in the city and was particularly taken by the pricey building. Watson is used to splitting her life between the US and the UK.

Not only does she spend time in the States for work, she's also studied at Brown University, Rhode Island as well as Oxford University. We wonder what the new purchase will mean for her blossoming relationship with Oxford University student Matthew Janney?
The couple went public with their romance during a loved up trip to the Caribbean earlier this year and have already got the seal of approval from Matthew's unofficial guardian, Coralie Day (she and her husband took in Matthew after he lost both of his parents to cancer).

"We are thrilled to bits that he is seeing Emma Watson. We are looking forward to meeting her soon," Coralie told The Mirror.
"Hats off to her for finding such a wonderful young man. There is nothing bad anyone could say about Matt. He is absolutely lovely," Coralie added

My husband and I have enjoyed watching this Pileated Woodpecker many times as he comes to the birdfeeder at our home in Fredenberg Township. He especially enjoys the suet. We have discovered, however that any quick movement will cause him to fly away so I had to move in slow with the camera and take the picture quickly before he flew away. He really is a lot of fun to watch.

›› Get more updates at our election section
Early voting for the Nov. 8 general election began Monday with 317 people casting votes, according to the El Paso County Elections Department.
El Paso County Elections Administrator Javier Chacon was not surprised by Monday's turnout, saying it is normal for that many people to show up on the first day of early voting for a constitutional amendment election.
"But as days go by it'll pick up," he said.
Early voting will continue until Nov. 4. The county has more than 367,044 eligible voters, Chacon said.
On the ballot are 10 propositions regarding changes to the Texas Constitution. If approved, one of them would allow El Paso County to use tax revenues to develop parks and recreation areas. Currently, the county does not have to pay for or fund un-mandated services. Parks are un-mandated services.
Besides the propositions, voters in the city of Socorro are being asked to elect a new mayor.
Voters will choose from three mayoral candidates: former mayor Trinidad "Trini" Lopez, young politician Jesus Ruiz and former municipal judge Ernesto "Ernie" Gomez.
The person who is elected will serve until May 2012, which is when the term of ousted mayor Guillermo "Willie" Gandara Sr., expires.
Socorro, the second-largest municipality in El Paso County, has more than 14,000 register voters, according to Chacon.
Anthony Independent School District's bond election is also on the ballot. Voters are being asked to approve the issuance of $5 million in bonds for the construction, renovation, acquisition and equipment for the school district.

|Polymer Photovoltaic Cells Based on Polymethacrylate Bearing Semiconducting Side Chains.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23023517 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Polymethacrylate with semiconducting side chains (P1), synthesized by free radical polymerization, was used as a donor material for polymer solar cells. P1 is of high molecular weight (M(n) = 82 kg mol(-1) ), good thermal stability, narrow band gap (1.87 eV), and low-lying HOMO energy level (-5.24 eV). P1 possesses not only the good film-forming ability of polymers but also the high purity of small organic molecules. Power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 0.63% and 1.22% have been obtained for solar cells with M1:PC(71) BM and P1:PC(71) BM as the active layers, respectively. With PC(61) BM as the acceptor, PCEs of M1 and P1 based devices decrease to 0.61% and 0.76%, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that free radical polymerization can be used to prepare polymer donors for photovoltaic applications.

A quick shot looking up in Poole.
I think this one was taken just after we stepped out of Caffe Nero, where I took this one:
On a recent trip to Birmingham, I paid a visit to a very important place. The place that was once known as "ATVLand", the home of so much of the UK's most-loved TV shows from the 1970s and 1980s, not to mention the most wonderful ident ever seen on a TV screen.
ATVLand gave us such classics as TISWAS:
The legendary game show Bullseye:
And the soap opera Crossroads – a show so iconic its closing theme was once covered by a Beatle:
The ATV network, run by the legendary Lew Grade, played a major role in what shaped popular culture in the latter half of the 20th century. As a child of the 70s, I was thrilled to have a chance to see the building in which all these great shows, and so many more, were made. Sadly, there's not a lot of it left.
Much of the centre was demolished to remove asbestos. These hexagonal windows peeking above the protective fencing are all that remain. It's a shame. ATVLand is just one of the things that makes Birmingham such a vibrant city. It's something that should be treasured, not demolished or hidden away.
The good people at MACE (Media Archive for Central England) agree that ATV's history is something to be celebrated and have created a five-part documentary called From ATVLand in Colour, featuring interviews with a many of the network's famous faces including Chris Tarrant, who most people know from "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". I bought this DVD shortly before our trip to Birmingham and it made this drab, boarded up, abandoned building next door to the Holiday Inn come alive with memories. If it hadn't been for the rain I wouldn't have been at all surprised if we had been set upon by the Phantom Flan Flinger.
Sparrows in the hedge by the side of the Grand Western Canal. All snapped with the Sony 55-210 zoom lens. I'd love a lens that could go a bit wider, but the nice thing about this one is that it fits quite neatly into a coat pocket, so I can take it with me when walking, without needing to take a bag. Camera on one pocket, long zoom in another.
Autofocus speed is a bit of a weak point for the NEX range, but I was quite happy with how well it picked out the birds, rather than ending up focussing on the branches they were between.

The personal injury lawyers at Brett Law represent people injured by defective drugs who seek prompt, full and just compensation for their injuries.
We practice throughout Washington State and have offices in Seattle, Everett, Spokane, Vancouver, Bellingham and Mount Vernon.
Millions of Americans use prescription and over-the-counter medications for various ailments, diseases and medical conditions. In most instances, those drugs prove to be beneficial in restoring their health and prolonging their lives.
But that is not always the case – especially when drug manufacturers release defective drugs into the marketplace. It happens all too often. Tainted batches of the blood-thinner Heparin were recently recalled after being linked to dozens of U.S. deaths. The heart drug Digitek was recently recalled after the manufacturer disclosed that tablets may have been released with toxic levels of Digitalis, the medication's active ingredient.
Defective drugs are all too common and can cause harmful, sometimes deadly side effects, including: birth defects; heart attacks; heart palpitations; liver failure; kidney failure; memory loss; and strokes. Sometimes, drug defects result from negligence by the manufacturer. In other instances, a drug's dangers surface only after hundreds or thousands of consumers are harmed by newly recognized side effects.
The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates drugs in the U.S. marketplace, is responsible for ensuring the safety of the public. In situations where a drug presents an unreasonable risk of substantial harm, the FDA may issue a safety alert. In the most serious cases, the FDA may initiate a drug recall that removes a drug from the market.
There are three levels of drug recalls based on the relative health risk:
- Class I drug recalls are issued on drugs that have a reasonable probability of causing serious injury or death.
- Class II drug recalls are issued on drugs that have a chance of causing a temporary health problem or that pose only a slight threat of a serious nature.
- Class III drug recalls are issued on drugs that are unlikely to cause any adverse health consequence but that violate FDA labeling or manufacturing regulations.
Besides the drugs mentioned above, warnings or recalls have also been issued for these widely prescribed drugs:
- Anti-anxiety drugs such as Paxil
- Anti-diabetic drugs such as Rezulin
- Anti-psychotic drugs such as Zyprexa
- Birth control patches such as Ortho Evra
- Children's ADHD drugs such as Ritalin
- Cholesterol lowering drugs such as Baycol
- Heart surgery drugs such as Trasylol
- Pain relievers such as Bextra, Celebrex and Vioxx
- Weight-loss drugs such as Fen-Phen
Unfortunately, most drug recalls do not occur until after countless patients have taken the defective drug. It is often the case that neither the patient nor the patient's doctor knows the full extent of the drug's dangers. In such situations, the drug manufacturer can be held responsible for any injuries caused by the defective drug because manufacturers must exercise reasonable care in the design and manufacture of their products. Responsibility also falls on manufacturers that insist on keeping their products on the market even after receiving reports that the drug may be harming consumers.
If you've been harmed by a defective drug, the attorneys of Brett Law can offer you legal advice, anywhere in Washington State. We have the willingness, resources and determination to take on the drug manufacturers and their lawyers. We work with clients from our offices in Seattle, Everett, Spokane, Vancouver, Bellingham and Mount Vernon.

Journalist fears for his lifeComment on this story
Johannesburg -
A Daily Sun journalist who reportedly took pictures of police officers allegedly accepting bribes in Rustenburg was receiving death threats, North West Premier Thandi Modise's office said on Sunday.
Ricky Dire allegedly received two SMSes threatening to kill his family unless he withdrew his disclosure to the Daily Sun and the police that he was harassed, assaulted and arrested, Modise said in a statement.
She called for the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) to investigate the matter.
"If the allegations are found to be true, then those involved should be immediately suspended and stripped of their uniform," said Modise.
"Police have to work very hard on their image to inspire and regain public confidence after recent tragedies experienced in our province viewed by some as acts of police brutality.
"They should realise that their conduct is under public scrutiny and strive to be above reproach," said Modise.
Deputy editor Reggy Moalusi said Dire was arrested and assaulted on January 18 after he was found taking photographs of police allegedly receiving bribes from Chinese shop owners.
The shop owners had called Dire, complaining that police had been harassing them and constantly asking for bribes.
"They (the police) assaulted him and they were insulting him," Moalusi said.
"We got our lawyers involved... and he was only released five hours later."
Dire's cellphone had been confiscated and the pictures in question were reportedly deleted.
Police spokeswoman Sergeant Kealeboga Molale said at the time that the arresting officers had laid charges of intimidation, crimen injuria and resisting arrest against Dire.
"The journalist was arrested because he was insulting the police and when they tried to arrest him, he resisted," Molale said.
"The incident happened at a complex where there is a bottle store. The journalist was allegedly drunk."
Molale said police were not aware of the alleged bribe incident.
Moalusi said the newspaper had spoken to Dire, who claimed he was sober.
"He also says he never resisted arrest." - Sapa

Review Price free/subscription
Of course this handset plays music. There is 64MB of memory in the phone itself and it will accept Memory Stick Micro cards so you can add up to a further 2GB of storage. The handset will send music to a stereo Bluetooth headset. Unusually these days there is an infra red port too.
You get a stereo headset but both this and the USB cable (used with the copy of PC Suite to share information with your PC) hook up to Sony Ericsson's horrid proprietary connector which sits on the bottom of the handset. This is also used for battery charging, and it is a real pain to have to carry a charger just for this phone when so many other devices are standardised on mini USB. If you don't want to use PC Suite then the K810i works in Mass Storage mode too.
Other applications include an FM radio, RSS feed reader, sound recorder, email support, alarm clock, calculator, calendar, notes taker, stopwatch, tasks manager and timer.
Time constraints meant I didn't have the time to do a full music playing battery rundown test of this phone, but during the review period I found it performed fairly well. I'd say if you shoot a few photos, make a few minutes of 3G usage and listen to half an hour of music or so every day you should get by with a charge every other day.
The K810i is a comfortable mobile phone to use. A cliché, I know, but it really is very 'user-friendly'. And it is ideal for those who want a competent cameraphone.

Woody Allen: With some directors (say, Steven Soderbergh), being prolific is a plus, like a good friend from out of town visiting frequently. For others, constantly churning out product can be more compulsion than artistic expression. Enemy No. 1: the one born Allen Konigsberg. Every year, whether he has something to say or not, the film world is met with another Woody Allen, often a ghost of a former triumph. Match Point is a dumbed-down Crimes and Misdemeanors, while You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger redid Husbands and Wives . Recently, Allen's had trouble getting financing. Good.
Clint Eastwood: It's good that Clint has only gotten speedier in old age—in theory. But how many are keepers? From the last three years alone, Changeling, Invictus and Hereafter are only mildly preferable to shuffleboard.
Alex Gibney: Documentaries tend to eat up entire years for their makers, who wrangle an avalanche of facts or keep cameras rolling on the unformed blob that is real life. But not Gibney—the director of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Taxi From the Dark Side churns them out like sausages. This year alone has seen Casino Jack, Client 9 and a short in Freakonomics. And the reason he works fast: He works shallow.
Michael Mann: Not that Mann is a poor director, but he's been given more second chances than practically anyone in Hollywood. Heat, The Insider, Ali, Miami Vice and Public Enemies were all hugely budgeted films that underperformed. Would execs do the same for a female director?
Tyler Perry: Is it a new month? Time for another Tyler Perry joint.
Michael Winterbottom: Like Gibney, this Brit works fast, loose and shallow. When he has the right collaborator—say, Steve Coogan, with whom he made 24 Hour Party People, Tristram Shandy and The Trip—he can lean on them. When he's not, you get Code 46, 9 Songs or The Killer Inside Me.

Microbial Cell Factories 2012, 11:156 doi:10.1186/1475-2859-11-156Published: 11 December 2012
First paragraph (this article has no abstract)
Cell factories have been largely exploited for the controlled production of substances of interest for food, pharma and biotech industries. Although human-controlled microbial production and transformation are much older, the cell factory concept was fully established in the 80's through the intensive public and private investment. Strongly empowered by the then nascent recombinant DNA technologies and supported by the approval of recombinant insulin [1,2], the principle of controlled biological production as a convenient source of difficult-to-obtain molecules (especially those of high added value) deeply penetrated the industrial tissue, soon becoming a widespread platform aiming at cost-effective large-scale production [3]. The first generation cell factories (mainly composed by plain strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae) were soon replaced by engineered variants. Resulting from the application of untargeted mutagenesis and phenotypic selection, conventional genetic modification, metabolic engineering, and more recently by systems metabolic engineering that integrates metabolic engineering with systems biology and synthetic biology, new strains having much enhanced performance have been progressively developed [4-19]. In parallel, mammalian and insect cells for the production of high quality proteins, and other microbial species appealing from an industrial point of view due to their unusual physiological traits, have been incorporated to the cell factory family [20,21]. This comprises algae, fungi, psychrophilic bacteria and moss, among others [22-26]. On the other hand, a set of food-grade lactic acid bacteria are under development as emerging platforms in food microbiology but also as a novel source of metabolites and proteins [27-34]. The physiological diversity of the microbial world offers an intricacy of biosynthetic pathways from which novel bio-products, including nano- or micro-structured materials [35-37], offer promises in even more diverse applications.
