With ailing Rangers in need of a spark, Derek Holland steps up
The following is an excerpt from Evan Grant's Sunday column. Click here to read it in full.
DETROIT — Just for the sake of perspective, a quick recounting of what the Rangers have been through in the first half of the season:
They've lost four members of the starting rotation to the disabled list. They've lost their leadoff hitter, their season-opening No. 3 hitter and two other regulars to DL stints. Their cleanup hitter is playing on one leg. Their No. 2 hitter(s) have been flops.
And yet, thanks to a 7-1 win over Detroit on Saturday, they go into the final day of the first half leading the wild-card race and with a chance at first place in the AL West.
For this the Rangers can thank Derek Holland, who outpitched the AL's most dominant pitcher (Max Scherzer) and a lineup that manufactured a run first, unlocking the ability to score many more.
Holland went seven innings, pitched around trouble early and found a nice little rhythm before turning things over to the bullpen. It made Scherzer a loser for the first time this season. He is 13-1.
"We've been a little banged up, and we've got a lot of tired arms," said second baseman Ian Kinsler. "For him to step up and throw like he can, it was just huge. It relaxed everybody."
The win also gave the Rangers a 4-2 edge over Detroit in the season series with one game left to play. Clinching the series means the Rangers would have home-field advantage against Detroit in the event they both wind up in the playoffs with identical records. So the Rangers have that going for them, which is nice.
It would have been an easy night to get keyed up. The Rangers had lost three straight and were looking at sending Martin Perez to face Justin Verlander on Sunday, which is a difficult-enough challenge for a more experienced pitcher, let alone a rookie, even one pitching as well as Perez. The prospect of a five-game losing streak and falling three or four games behind Oakland in the West loomed real.
"We needed it, and he gave it to us," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "To do what he did against that lineup was just outstanding work. We'd lost three in a row and didn't want to be looking at four. We needed him to make three runs standup tonight and he did."

DENVER (AP) - The Western Athletic Conference is adding Cal State-Bakersfield and Utah Valley next year as it ditches football.
WAC interim commissioner Jeff Hurd said the WAC will continue looking for other new members as it makes the transition from an FBS conference to a non-football playing Division I conference in 2013-14.
Cal State-Bakersfield is a Division I independent, and at least 13 of the school's 18 sports programs will become members of the WAC, most notably men's and women's basketball.
Utah Valley is a member of the Great West Conference. Fourteen of the Wolverines' 15 intercollegiate sports will compete in the WAC, including men's and women's basketball. In 2009, Utah Valley, with an enrollment of 33,000, became the first institution to leap to Division I directly from junior college status.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
It seems that it's time to admit that dressing actors in LED-studded catsuits, asking them to give performances on sterile white sets and handing the results to a team of computer animators is not a way to make a good movie.Mike Hale, New York Times, 03.11.2011
The film looks neither fully real nor fully imagined, which could be forgiven if Mars Needs Moms had something more to offer besides its nifty technology.Rafer Guzman, Newsday, 08.16.2011
Aside from a relatively brief appearance by Joan Cusack's avatar as the kidnapped mother, there are no involving characters or situations.Lou Lumenick, New York Post, 03.10.2011
While Wells's ice-blue color scheme borrows from both "Tron" films and a litany of "Star Trek" episodes, a majestic musical score by the great composer John Powell somehow makes everything old feel fresh and wondrous again.Sean O'Connell, Washington Post, 03.10.2011

A great number of car owners assume that a car bumper is only designed to sustain the Subaru in maximum looks, never noticing how resilient it is and the significance of its function. Working with this component is the Subaru reinforcement, a durable automobile component that supports the bumper and holds it in the appropriate mounting spot - the reinforcement is capable of dealing with every damaging factor.
The forward position of your automobile bumper makes it vulnerable to diverse forms of problems - to geological elements similar to rain and snow, to environmental elements like pebbles, as well as to blows anytime you get into collisions. Such component resists shocks to protect the vehicle and many of the car passengers against damage and additional likely incidents, something which it carries out through the Subaru reinforcement. Installed behind the bumper, reinforcements are parts designed from metallic resources, built to provide total bumper assistance. Mounting a reinforcement in your car is the great way to improve your ride safety - just see to it that you get a premium reinforcement.
Here at Parts Train, obtaining the appropriate Subaru reinforcement is painless with the help of our user-friendly and easy-to-navigate catalog. You will discover the best parts sourced from organizations similar to Action Crash Parts, Bolton Premiere, and Reflexxion, all of which operating to provide you just the best in the market.

After finding $50,000 to avoid cutting a social worker, Burlingtons School Board unanimously passed its spending plan Tuesday night for next year.
The budget, which had been revised upward in response to initial public reaction to the plan, stands at $51,932,746, an increase of 4.1 percent from this years $49.9 million. That translates into a property-tax increase of 6.1 percent, according to the School Board Finance Committee.
Throughout the evening, board members dealt with the fiscal realities of the recession and worked to hold the line against increasing the budget crafted by the Finance Committee. Budget increases in the two most recent years were 9 percent and 10 percent, by comparison.
The vote was taken after more than an hour of pleas from the public that advocated reinstating the Kaleidoscope program at Hunt Middle School, maintaining positions in physical education, community outreach, social work and other areas.
Money for the social-worker position was found through an amendment by board member Amy Werbel, Ward-5. The amendment, which passed 7-6, sought to pay for the position by cutting $50,000 from either the business or maintenance budget.
This is an incredibly painful year, Werbel said, explaining that she could justify adding the position only if cuts were made to offset the expense. A 6 percent property-tax increase is as far as Im prepared to go in this economy.
Two other amendments to maintain the Kaleidoscope program and to add $50,000 to restore a cut outreach coordinator failed, 5-8.
Sen. Hinda Miller, D-Chittenden, who has a daughter who attends Burlington High School, attended the meeting and spoke of the difficulties of making cuts when faced with human consequences.
Were not in an easy time. The larger world is out there dealing with the same thing, but we dont have the humanity all the human stories, she said, referring to efforts in Montpelier to cut millions from the state budget.
The School Boards first-unveiled proposal called for a 3.6 percent budget increase. A crowd of parents, taxpayers and school employees attended a hearing Jan. 5 to oppose the proposal, which called for numerous position cuts.
A subcommittee subsequently reinstated the money for middle-school sports and also for library aides and one community outreach worker. Other proposed cuts stayed in place, including two teachers from Hunt Middle School, one outreach worker, and part-time French and reading teaching slots at Burlington High School.
The boards subsequent revisions added a total of about $227,000 to the budget proposal.
The overall increases are due to a range of factors, including debt service on bonds for school repairs and improvement bonds, contracted wage increases for cafeteria workers and para-educators, and estimated wage increases for teachers and principals, who are negotiating contracts for the 2011 fiscal year.
The boards final spending plan will go before city voters on Town Meeting Day, March 2.

For thousands of years, food harvests have been preserved for family use throughout the year. Without tried-and-true techniques to control the development of deadly microorganisms, food safety was rather unpredictable.

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -- Authorities hope multiple rewards will lead to an arrest after a dog's severed head was found in a park.
Eagle County sheriff's officials say it appears a human decapitated the dog, whose head and leg were found Aug. 4 in El Jebel northwest of Aspen. They say an examination by veterinarians suggests the dog might have been about 2 to 3 years old and a breed of miniature pinscher or miniature pinscher mix.
The Aspen Daily News reports the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Eagle Valley Humane Society are offering rewards of $2,500 and $1,500, respectively, for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Crime Stoppers also is offering a $1,000 reward in the case.

December 1, 2015
A Louisiana man who is accused of tormenting a Texas A&M University professor to death said he's innocent as he appeared in federal court Tuesday morning.
Daniel Duplaisir, 37, allegedly used his underage relative to lure Dr. James Aune, 59, into an online relationship that ended with the professor jumping to his death from a campus parking garage. Aune, who chaired Texas A&M's Department of Communications, committed suicide on Jan. 8.
Duplaisir was arrested on a charge of using a phone and the Internet to blackmail Aune. Duplaisir allegedly demanded $5,000 in hush money. Aune paid Duplaisir $1,000 before committing suicide, according to court documents.
The girl told authorities that Duplaisir took photos and videos of her to use in the scam, and kept a list with the names and phone numbers of men being extorted, according to an affidavit signed by FBI Special Agent Nikki Allen.
Duplaisir has a past conviction in his home state of Louisiana for incest and oral sexual battery. On Tuesday he pleaded innocent to the charges, but he waived his bond hearing, choosing to stay in federal custody through his trial. Duplaisir has a public defender challenging the prosecutor's case.
"We would not have brought the case if we didn't think at least there was at least probable cause to charge him and, yes, we do think we can present an adequate case," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Stabe.
Stabe said the case is only in federal court because it involves interstate transactions.
Duplaisir will go on trial next month and it's expected to last four days.

Bobsled: Park City's Holcomb wins overall two-man World Cup title
Bobsled driver Steven Holcomb clinched the overall two-man World Cup season title on Saturday, despite a mechanical problem with his new BMW sled that nearly cost him the crown.
"That was close," he said.
The Park City native rallied in his second of two runs to finish seventh at the final race of the season in Konigssee, Germany. He and brakeman Curt Tomasevicz were just 10th after the first run, in danger of losing their spot atop the World Cup standings to two-time champion Beat Hefti of Switzerland.
But mechanics fixed the problem between heats, and Holcomb moved up three places in his second run to secure his first two-man title since 2007.
"It was a wake up call," Holcomb said. "We almost lost the title. We were able to put down the second run we needed to keep it. It takes more than great driving and pushing. There's a team behind the team that deserves recognition, and sled technicians Richard Laubenstein, David Cripps and Jim Garde really get the credit today. It was a team effort and it's why we are the best right now."
Holcomb will be a favorite at the upcoming Sochi Olympics in Russia, in both the two-man race and the four-man race, in which he's the defending Olympic champion. Holcomb will race his final four-man event of the season Sunday.
The Americans will have another medal contender in the two-man race in Sochi, after driver Cory Butner finished fourth Saturday for the third time this season; he also has two bronze medals and finished the season ranked fourth overall -Â just eight points out of third place.
Holcomb won the overall title with 1,645 points, with Hefti second with 1,610 points.

How Flexible Should Your Job Be?
Yes and no, according to new research from the Families and Work Institute. On the one hand, employers are increasingly allowing workers more daily flexibility — think perks like occasionally working from home (67% of companies offer this, up from half in 2008). Companies are also more willing to let workers attend to personal needs during the day, like picking up a sick child from school or spending the morning waiting for the cable guy.
But, when it comes to more innovative, long-term flex options, employers are drawing a harder line. Perks like sabbaticals, job shares, or the option to go part time are becoming increasingly rare, the study finds. For example, just 18% of companies today are open to job shares, while almost 30% of firms were in 2008.
What's behind the switch? It's likely an effect of the smaller staffs left in the wake of the recession. "[Companies] may be more reluctant to offer long leaves because they don't have the financial margin to cover that," Ken Matos, senior director of research at the Families and Work Institute, told the Wall Street Journal. "And they may be using day-to-day flexibility to compensate for the extra work people are doing when you have a smaller staff."
If you're itching for a more accommodating schedule, learn how to successfully negotiate for perks like sabbaticals and flex time, or take a cue from these real parents who scored flex jobs.
Sure, we'd all like to be earning more. But, even if that bonus check is nothing but a dream, LearnVest is here to help you make the most of what you've got — read their stories, use their tools, and talk to a pro planner about getting a financial plan custom-designed for you.

Dear Faculty and Staff of Eckerd College:
In the Spring 2011 semester the Eckerd College Board of Trustees Presidential Assessment and Compensation Committee (PA&CC) conducted a Comprehensive Five-Year Review of the President. Five-year reviews are a recommended best practice in higher education today, and it has been President Eastman's goal to engage us in reviews that are serious, objective and potentially illuminating.
The review was completed in early April, and the Board's Presidential Assessment and Compensation Committee (PA&CC) and Executive Committee accepted the oral report of the President's performance and written observations on strategic issues for the College delivered by Dr. Daniel F. Sullivan, President Emeritus of St. Lawrence University, the consultant who conducted the Board's comprehensive review. In mid-April, Dr. Sullivan met with the Faculty Coordinating Committee and Collegial Chairs and the Executive Staff to deliver his oral report and written observations. The Board of Trustees will be discussing and acting on the report on performance at their May 2011 meeting. Last week, FCC and Collegial Chairs met with President Eastman to review the strategic observations and discuss next steps.
FCC and Collegial Chairs agree Dr. Sullivan led a thorough and careful review of the President's performance. In sum, the assessment of the President's performance was overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Sullivan noted especially that stakeholders across all groups "see the same president" and hope President Eastman will stay beyond his current contract.
As a part of the review, participants were asked to engage in conversations that can assist the College in setting strategic priorities through the years 2014 and beyond. The outcomes of those conversations are reflected in Dr. Sullivan's observations entitled "Eckerd College Strategic Issues." President Eastman, the Faculty Coordinating Committee and Collegial Chairs want to be sure that the college community has access to the observations and, of course, an opportunity to engage in conversations so we may take away as much value as we can from the review. We agreed it would be best to put the Strategic Issues document on the President's Page on the College's web site so you may access it any time from anywhere. Please also note that the report is login/password protected. This document is for the internal discussion of the College and not intended for public dissemination.
President Eastman will discuss the comprehensive review in his remarks at our May 2011 Faculty and Staff meetings. The review offers our community a chance to think together strategically as we look to the future.
Once you have had time to read the strategic issues document, FCC asks that you send questions, concerns, reactions or critiques to the President and the FCC at anytime in the weeks ahead. The Faculty Coordinating Committee in conversation with the President will identify important subjects and concerns for the coming year and then hold open discussions next Fall 2011.
The Five-Year Review recognizes much that is very healthy about Eckerd College at this point in our history. Most important, the review concludes that we are served by an engaged President and Board of Trustees. All the same, there are many things for us to consider as we look to our future, and the increasing health of our College makes this an excellent time to do so.

FILE - This Nov. 17, 2008 file photo shows U.S. Border Patrol agent Gabriel Pacheco walking back to his vehicle along the border fence in San Diego. With border crossings at a 40-year low, the U.S. Border Patrol announced a new strategy Tuesday, May 8, 2012 that targets repeat crossers and tries to find out why they keeping coming. For nearly two decades, the Border Patrol has relied on a strategy that blanketed heavily trafficked corridors for illegal immigrants with agents, pushing migrants to more remote areas where they would presumably be easier to capture and discouraged from trying again.

Secure the borders, create path to citizenship
In his interview with the Daily Herald Media Editorial Board last week, Gov. Scott Walker struck an extremely dovish note on immigration.
We largely agree with Walker, and support the stands he took in favor of a massive overhaul of the nation's system for legal immigration as well as the idea of a path to citizenship - the dread "amnesty" of reform opponents - for many of those who are living here illegally now.
Here in Marathon County, there are dairy farms and manufacturing businesses that depend on immigrant labor - and the reality is that not all of the workers are here with legal paperwork. In the same way that southeast Asian immigration permanently changed the face of Wausau - for the better - rural Marathon County is in some respects being transformed by Latino immigration.
The same is true across the region, the state, the nation. It is not acceptable to force these immigrants to live in the shadows for their whole lives.
But we part ways with Walker at the point where he downplays the importance of border security.
There are serious logistical challenges to policing either the northern or southern U.S. border. But ongoing measures to secure them - and to find and deport criminals, terrorists and others who truly threaten safety here - are a necessary precondition to making immigration reform work in the long term.
This is not a simple issue, and we credit Walker for taking a position that might not endear him with parts of his conservative base. But let's not get carried away. There is no form of comprehensive immigration reform that can happen without real increases in border security - and there shouldn't be.

You'd be hard pushed to find anyone in the UK prepared to spend that much time and effort on one of these cars I fear :|
I think it will get a ery nice car! :tu:
Great to see it being restored! Especially it being a 5dr model, most people only put money and effort into 2/3dr versions of any given model.
Some other interesting cars in that workshop too?
A serial car-buying friend has recently bought this bug-eye 323 auto, very scarce now in the UK.

number of scientists who wanted to attend its meetings was increasing each year,

Planning for Expansion
the better part of the 1960s, members of the ICTH clarified and planned the
mission, structure, function and leadership of a larger organization. They
envisioned a society that would be open to all researchers, clinicians,
educators and students working in the many interrelated fields of thrombosis, haemostasis
and vascular biology.
ICTH had focused primarily on blood coagulation and hemorrhagic disorders; the
new organization would expand that focus to include the emerging areas of
platelet function and regulation, the mechanisms of thrombosis, fibrinolysis
and thrombolysis, and the urgent problems of thromboembolic disorders.
Birth of a New Society
In 1969, at the ICTH's 15th Annual Meeting in
Bath, UK, its members finally came to a vote—unanimously approving the creation
of the International Society on Thrombosis
and Haemostasis (ISTH).
The Society chose Fritz Koller of Switzerland as its
President and Sol Sherry of the USA as Chairman of the newly-formed ISTH Council. Almost 200
scientists joined the Society that year, and of those, 37 are still active members.
Today, the ISTH's impact and contributions to the understanding,
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic and bleeding disorders span six
continents. With more than 3,800 members in over 94 countries, we are now the

Drinking a non-alcoholic version of red wine seems to lower blood pressure in men who are at high risk for heart disease.
Researchers found men who drank regular red wine didn't see much change in their blood pressure after four weeks, while men who drank the non-alcoholic version lowered their risk of heart disease and stroke.
Both drinks contained the same amount of antioxidants, but researchers think the alcohol in red wine weakens its ability to lower blood pressure.

Albany Bureau
ALBANY --- Written in black marker on white tagboard and attached to a pole, Joe Bucolo's message was displayed high above the crowd: "No more NYC laws 4 upstate."
The 64-year-old retired caseworker's sign summarized a common theme among thousands of pro-gun protesters Thursday at a Capitol rally, where downstate residents were few and contempt for New York City was high.
"We're just two separate, distinct cultures, really," said Bucolo, of Lockport, Niagara County. "I think there is just a growing feeling that people down in the city -- Manhattan and those quarters, people like (Assembly Speaker Sheldon) Silver -- have nothing but disdain for us."
Contention between the more conservative upstate and and more liberal downstate New York, driven by their distinct difference in political ideology and vastly different economies, is nothing new.
But the state's new, stricter gun-control laws -- the subject of Thursday's rally -- seem to have reignited the decades-old divide.
"There's no question in my mind at all," said Assemblyman Stephen Hawley, R-Batavia, Genesee County. "It's another indicator that we really are two states."
Since the law was passed in January, 34 counties have passed resolutions opposing it, all of which are north of New York City.
A Siena College poll last month found New York voters 2-to-1 support the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, which included a broader ban on assault weapons and lower limits on the capacity of magazines. The bill was pushed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who had sought the changes after high-profile shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Webster, Monroe County.
The difference between upstate and downstate, however, is stark, the poll found. Eighty-two percent of New York City voters said they favored the new laws, with 15 percent opposed. The city's suburbs showed a 61-32 percent split.
Upstate voters, however, showed a near-even divide, with 50 percent supportive of the law and 46 percent against.
At the rally at the Capitol on Thursday, the loudest chorus of boos came at the mention of Michael Bloomberg, the New York City mayor who has led nationwide efforts to pass gun-control laws.
Sen. David Carlucci, D-Clarkstown, Rockland County, said the gun-control debate has been "raging for decades." It's not a matter of upstate versus downstate, he said.
"I think people are very passionate about this issue and they have a right to be," Carlucci said. "I think what we're trying to do in New York is make sure we make it as safe as possible without impeding on people's rights."
Others disagree, pointing to the geographical breakdown of the vote in the Legislature.
In the Senate, the SAFE Act passed 43-18; All 18 "no" votes came from senators who represent districts north of New York City.
"It does appear at this point to be an upstate-downstate issue, and whether that's fortunate or unfortunate, I really don't want to make that prediction," said Sen. Thomas Libous, R-Binghamton. "But I do know that Second Amendment rights are very important to the majority of my constituents. My obligation is to represent them, and that's why I voted no."
About a dozen upstate Republican lawmakers spoke at the Thursday rally, garnering significant applause as one-by-one they knocked the gun-control laws for impeding on their rights.
Barbara Hohlt, chair of New Yorkers Against Violence's legislative committee, said characterizing the gun-control debate as a regional divide is missing the point.
According to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 85 percent of guns recovered by police in New York City came from out of state in 2009, the most recent year available. Across the five largest cities north of New York City, the rate was just 40 percent.
"A lot of the guns used in crime upstate actually come from upstate," Hohlt said. "Having a background check on every gun sale would help reduce the use of guns in crime upstate." The SAFE Act requires background checks for private, person-to-person sales for the first time.
The long-simmering tension between the northern and southern portions of the state have, at times, even led some to talk of secession, as unrealistic as it may seem. Downstate is viewed as an economic engine for the rest of the state, with 14 percent of New York's tax revenues last year coming from Wall Street companies, alone.
Hawley, the Batavia assemblyman, sponsors a bill that would allow for a statewide referendum asking New York voters whether they would like to see the state split in two. The bill -- a form of which dates back to 1992, when it was sponsored by Hawley's father -- aims to start a conversation, he said.
"There are so many issues, whether it's gas prices, whether it's Medicaid, whether it's Thruway tolls, whether it's mandate relief," Hawley said. "I just think that there's got to be a better way to run this state, and this would get the people talking about it."

The Heritage softball had been struggling recently, but things got back to normal Monday.
Kierra Camp tossed a complete game, one-hitter and the bottom third of the Heritage order did most of the damage in a 5-0 win over Kell on non-league play.
Heritage, which had lost four of its last five games coming in, improved to 19-4.
Kamryn Toney, hitting in the No. 7 spot in the lineup, went 3-for-3 with an RBI, while No. 8 Morgan Whiten added a hit, walk and an RBI and No. 9 LaKaitlen Barney added two hits and two RBIs.
"A lot of times they don't get as much of the credit…but they buy into the team concept, they are working hard every single day," Heritage coach Jason mcBay said of the 7-8-9 hitters. "That's going to be huge going forward, to get some production out of the bottom."
The run support was more than enough for Camp, a Georgia Southern commitment. The right-hander struck out 12 and didn't give up her only hit until two outs were recorded in the sixth. Kell, which was playing Heritage for the first time since taking two of three games from the Patriots in the second round of the 2010 state playoffs, had just two other base-runners on a walk and a hit batsman.
McBay was especially pleased with Barney's efforts from the nine-hole, which included a sacrifice bunt. To form an impressive foursome, lead off hitter and King University commitment Diamond Callwood added two hits.
"I like our lineup," McBay said. "We've played with the bottom of our order pretty much all year. Tonight I liked the order and the flow of the offense. (Barney) runs really well, so her speed, if she hits the ball on the ground, chances are she's going to get on. That's why I like her down there. I was really pleased with her tonight."

Apple CEO dismisses criticism of cash hoard, calls lawsuit 'silly sideshow'
Speaking at a Goldman Sachs technology conference, Cook reiterated Apple's stand that it is seriously looking at whether to return more cash to shareholders as its cash stockpile grew to $137 billion as of the end of the December quarter, roughly two-thirds of which is held overseas.
"Apple doesn't have a Depression-era mentality," he said. "Apple makes bold and ambitious bets on products, and we are conservative financially."
Cook called the lawsuit filed by Einhorn's hedge fund, Greenlight Capital, a "misunderstanding" and said if Apple were ever to issue preferred stock -- which Einhorn is calling for -- the company would first seek shareholder approval. Last year, the Cupertino, Calif., company announced its first quarterly dividend since 1995 -- $2.65 a share beginning in August -- as shareholders called on Apple to reward investors with a slice of its cash.
Greenlight Capital's suit seeks to halt a company-sponsored proxy proposal that would eliminate "blank check" preferred stock; the proposal is scheduled to be voted on during Apple's annual shareholder meeting on Feb. 27.
"Now, we do have some cash," Cook said, "but it's a privilege to be in this position. Last quarter, cash flow from operations for Apple was over $23 billion. It's an incredible privilege for us to be in this position that we can seriously consider returning additional cash to shareholders."
The company spent $10 billion on capital expenditures last year and will likely do the same this year, Cook said. Apple will not buy large companies simply to increase revenue, he added.
Apple's stock price has plunged some 35 percent in recent months, which some critics attribute to increasing competition from competitors such as Samsung and Google in the smartphone and tablet markets.
Cook noted that the current smartphone market of 700 million units sold every year globally, which Apple kick-started with the introduction of the iPhone in 2007, is expected to double to an annual market of 1.4 billion in four years.
"I see a market that is incredible to be in -- maybe the best market of all times," he said. "Apple has enormous momentum."
Speaking with Goldman Sachs' chief Apple analyst, Bill Shope, Cook would not address rumors that the company plans to roll out a low-end iPhone. Instead, he pointed to the company's iPod line of music players. The first one sold for $399. Now the company offers a range of iPods, with a low-end device starting at $49.
"Instead of saying, 'How can we cheapen this iPod to get it lower?' we say, 'How can we do a great product and do it at a price to sell it at $49?' " he said.
Cook also said the consumer tablet market, which Apple also created, is in its infancy. He said the company sold 23 million iPads last quarter even as it had a tough time meeting the demand for its new iPad mini. During the same period, Cook said, Hewlett-Packard sold 15 million PCs.
"I think the tablet market will be huge," he said. "It's a huge opportunity for Apple."
In a note to investors, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said, "We have greater confidence that there will be a slight increase to the dividend when Apple reports the March quarter."
He also said Cook's talk reaffirmed his belief Apple will launch a cheaper iPhone in the fall.

Ted, this was an excellent read and a true breath of fresh air because everyone I associate with seem so apathetic to the whole creative process in filmmaking. I don't think a lot of people seem to realize the powerful implications film and media can have on society so to monopolize such a thing seems insane.
Why not give the creative process back to the "global brain" and create production companies that utilize technology in a way that considers all kinds of creative avenues rather than recycled stories?
I think the future will see more collaborative projects that foster a closer connection to our media. Its all an outward reflection of our selves and how we perceive the World so to distort that is irresponsible as a species.

'Let us teach the opposition a lesson'Comment on this story
Polokwane - SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande on Thursday lambasted opposition parties during his speech at Cosatu's May Day rally in Polokwane.
"In the DA black people are only good enough to go march on the street but not good enough to go to Parliament," he told thousands of people at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
"On the May 7 (elections) let us teach the opposition a lesson."
Referring to Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters, he called on people to vote for the African National Congress and teach a lesson to the "tenderpreneurs who have stolen our colours".
A tenderpreneur is a politician who seeks self-enrichment by trying to get government contracts.
"Let our youth not be fooled... Only the ANC will empower our youth."
Nzimande called on the working class to close ranks around the ANC.
"The working class must be present."
Earlier, Nzimande arrived at the stadium with President Jacob Zuma and Congress of SA Trade Unions' president Sidumo Dlamini.
The crowd cheered for the leaders and chanted Zuma's name. - Sapa

When you think about all you have to lose and the journey ahead it can seem daunting. Just change one thing at a time, this can be just eating properly until you feel you have turned the corner before introducing exercise. It may slow your journey down but it also makes it more manageable
One truly helpful piece of advice that I learned is:Change one thing at a time. Eat healthier, or drink more water, or 15 minutes a day for exercise. You don't have to do it all at once. By the inch its a cinch.211
Just change one thing at a time. Start with tracking calories...as you master that, move on to adding something else. Trying to do too much at once sets us up for failure and we get upset when we aren't successful at ALL of it.
When you are in a stall dont change to many things at one time. Make one change and stick with it for at least two weeks before you change something else. This gives your body time to adjust and maybe start dropping. If you change to much at one time you wont know what it was that got you to start dropping the weight again.

Saturday October 16, 2010Gators Complete 2010 Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute
Terre Haute, Ind.
Terre Haute, Ind.
Florida junior cross country newcomer Dumisane Hlaselo (South Africa) and senior womens runner Charlotte Browning (Chichester, England) turned in Floridas top finishes at the 2010 Brooks Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind., Saturday afternoon at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course. Floridas men finished ninth overall (350) out of the 35-team Blue Race field, while the Florida womens squad came in 19th (512) of the 40-team womens White Race field at the meet, hosted by Indiana State University. Eighteen of the top 30 mens cross country teams and 18 of the top 30 womens cross country teams were on hand at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center for the pre-NCAA meet, along with many other schools that have either been ranked or received votes during the 2010 cross country season. Stanford took the overall team title in the mens race, while Georgetown claimed the womens title.
We have had better race days. As the coach, I take full responsibility and need to do a better job of correcting things that went wrong today. Were going to get back to Gainesville and go back to work on Monday, assistant track and cross country coach Todd Morgan said. On the mens side, Dumisane had a great run - he did tremendously for us today.
The Gators were able to test-run and preview the ISU course Saturday, also the 2010 NCAA course, as the Sycamores will host the NCAA Division I Mens and Womens National Cross Country Championship on Nov. 22. Florida additionally plugged in a couple of lineup changes, running freshman Shelby Hayes (Winter Park, Fla.) in the womens lineup, her first complete race of the season.
Hlaselo recorded UFs sole top-20 finish of the mens race, coming in 15th out of the 231-athlete 8K race and recording a 23:59.2. Junior Josh Izewski (Doylestown, Pa.) (24:35.3), seniors James Uthmeier (Destin, Fla.) (24:39.3), Anthony Morales (Palm Coast, Fla.) (24:48.9) and freshman Mark Parrish (Tampa, Fla.) (25:02.5) completed UFs five scorers, coming in 63rd, 72nd, 85th and 115th behind Hlaselo.
Browning clocked a 21:14.1 to finish 44th in the 247-athlete womens field as the Gators top scorer, while junior Genevieve LaCaze (Daisy Hill, Australia) was UFs second scorer close behind Browning in 47th (21:18.9). Freshman Cory McGee (Pass Christian, Miss.) (21:28.4), sophomore Callie Cooper (St. Augustine, Fla.) (21:58.3) and senior Ali Crabb (St. Petersburg, Fla.) (23:17.8) finished 62nd, 117th and 242nd overall to complete the top five womens scorers behind Browning.
Florida will have a two-week idle period to train for the 2010 SEC Championships Nov. 1, hosted this year by the University of South Carolina in Columbia. For more information on Florida cross country, visit www.GatorZone.com.

Gauging Congress' Gay Love Has Never Been Easier!
In Congress, 36 senators and 145 representatives support marriage equality while 52 senators and 182 representatives oppose it.
How do we know? The Human Rights Campaign's new Congressional equality database told us so.
It's never been easier to check up on the equality record of your congressional representatives! Just visit their site, enter in your ZIP code, your legislator's name or your state and voila! An instant report card on your congressperson's equality record.
And the database tracks more than just their feelings on same-sex marriage! It also tracks their support (or non-support) of bills legalizing same-sex adoption, the sharing of medical benefits, anti-bullying and discrimination measures in schools and laws that would close tax laws hurtong married same-sex couples.
Plus, no matter your congressional representatives' stances, the database also includes their address, e-mail and phone number so you can call 'em up and thank or educate them.
Being an engaged political queer just got much easier.

Methods of measuring flow rates
One important requirement of any pumping test is the ability to accurately measure the rate or flow from the bore. This can be done in several ways.
1. Measurement a container of known volume: This method relies on the time taken to till a container of known voluine such as a 20 L (5 US gal) drum; from this the flow rate in Litres per second (L/sec)(Gallons per minute)can be calculated. As a general rule, a 20 L (5 gal)drum is sufficient for flow rates up to 0.7 L/sec (11 US gpm), however for higher yields, a larger receptacle such as a ICOL or 200 L(25 or 50gal) drum may be required. It would also be advisable to accurately measure the internal dimension of the vessel and calculate its exact volume, rather than just assuming it. When flow rates are sufficient to quickly fill the container, a stop watch should be used. However, for longer periods, an ordinary wrist watch may be satisfactory.
2. Weir boards: These are suitable for measurement of flows from a bore, when, due lo the arrangement of the headworks, use of an orifice or flow type meter is not practical. A weir board can be an accurate way of measuring flows under good conditions; however, its use in open channels introduces certain chances of error;
* Loss of water through soakage into the earth between the bore head and the weir
* time lag variations in flow at the bore and over she weir
* scream line constriction due to the size and shape of the channel near the weir.
Weir boards are generally available in 300 mm 112 in) and 600 mm (24 in) rectangular weirs and as a V notch. They are made of steel plate, with the edge of the notch bevelled to a sharp edge towards the approach channel side. Measurement is made on the principle that the volume of water flowing over the weir depends on the height of water over the crest of the weir. So that this height can be measured, two lugs are provided upstream of the weir. The upper faces of these lugs are on a level with the crest of the rectangular weir and on the point of the V in the V notch weir. By use of a scale, the height of the water level above these lugs and therefore above the crest or V can be measured.
Measurement should not be made until it is certain that all the water from the bore has reached the weir and has filled up the pools above the weir. As in all cases, the field notes and the report should show the actual observations i.e.. the height of water and size of weir and not just the discharge taken from the tables.
3. Orifice bucket: The orifice bucket is a cilindrical container about 460 mm( 18 in)in diameter and 600mm (24 in) high (these dimensions may vary somewhat). It has a solid base into which a number of orifice pipes are set. The discharge to be measured flows into the top of the bucket and out through the orifices in the bottom.
Baffle and diffuser plates, or plastic fluming on the inlet pipe, are provided lo streamline the flow and minimise turbulence. A stand is necessary so that the water can fall freely through the orifices and run away. The discharge through any orifice depends on the height of water above the orifice, and the total discharge is the sum of the discharges through all of the orifices. This height is measured in a clear plastic tube set water level inside the cbucket. A scale is attached from which the height of this water level can be measured.
The most convenient way to provide the openings in the bottom of an orifice bucket is to weld short 20 mm (3/4 in) pipes into holes cut through the bottom. Each pipe must be exactly the same length and the same inside diameters as the others. The ends of the pipes must be square, free from burrs, and all at the same level.
Te water level scale should be calibrated to show the rate of discharge, preferably through a single orifice.
The flow rate taken from this scale multiplied by the number of orifices used then gives the total rate of discharge through the device for any given water level reading.
An orifice bucket made with several orifices can be used to measure a considerable range of pumping rates since one ore more of the opening can be plugged, leaving as many open as required to handle a given flow rate.
4. Orifice meter: The orifice meter is one of the most accurate of the devices available to the driller for the measurement of discharge. The orifice meter should be used in preference to a weir board whenever possible.
As with a weir board, the discharge depends on the head of water above the sill of the weir, so in the orifice meter the discharge depends on the head of water above the orifice. This head is measured in a plastic water lube inserted into the side of the meter at some distance (about 0.6 m or 2 ft) behind the orifice plate and standing above the meter. The height to which the which stands in this tube is observed and the corresponding discharge read of the calibration charts using the curve for the particular diameter of orifice being used.
It is often necessary to maintain a specified flow through the orifice meter and to allow this lo be done the meter is usually equipped with a gate valve in addition to a short length of pipe with internal vanes to streamline the flow. By the manipulation of the valve, it is possible to maintain a constant discharge. i.e., a constant head of water in the measuring tube, over given periods of time.
Essential requirements are:
* the meter must be level both ways
* the orifice plate must at all times run lull of water
* the diameter of the orifice plate and barrel must be recorded
* any gas in the flow and any signs of drilling mud or cuttings should be reported
* all leakages must be reported
* all actual observations must be reported • not just derived or computed results.
Calibration curves for all orifice plates should be carried with the meter at all times
5. Flow meters: These are very accurate devices for measuring both low and high volumes. As with the method of measuring flow rate by timing the filling of a container of known volume, a watch is usually required to time the flow through the meter; however, meters are available to record flow per unit of time.

Summary Add
Feby 5
My dear Sir,
I am truly glad to find that the few insects which I sent were acceptable.— you are most heartily welcome to them and I regret that you did not write before my stock of duplicates was so much reduced— I could then have sent you varieties of several other species.
If all is well this year, I shall be most happy to send any specimens that I may obtain likely to interest you.
The variations of colour and markings in the Peronea are really astonishing— Haworth and the late J. F. Stephens did not at all understand the two species—Cristana and Hastiana— they created thirty or forty species founded upon the variations in colour and markings. Very soon after I had paid any attention to them I felt convinced that all these reputed species would sink into two. I believe at that time every Entomologist in London thought that my <o>pinion was <err>oneous—but they now all admit that I was right.
In my last letter I alluded to a Geometra—Harpalyce Russata— there is an allied species—immanata of Haworth—typical specimens of which so much resemble those of Russata that no one but an Entomologist could separate them.— This species runs through similar variations to those of Russata—with the exception of the yellow-banded variety—the Comma-notata of Haworth.— The central fascia in immanata varies from white through all shades of grey to black, but is never yellow.
In answer to your query as to whether I can give any good instances of species varying
in one locality and not in another I may mention the above-named insect H
Russata— M
There is another Geometra—Angerona prunaria the typical specimens of which are pure orange with slight dusky irrorations— in the south of England a clouded variety with the wings broadly margined with deep brown is almost as common as the type— I beli<eve> this variety <ne>ver occurs in the north of England— Many species of Lepidoptera are always double-brooded—that is there are two distinct broods in each year— in many species there is little or no difference between the individuals of the two broods—but in others the differences in size and colour are constant and striking— Selenia illustraria and S. illunaria may be mentioned as instances— the spring broods appear in April—and the specimens are large and highly-coloured— from the eggs of these the second brood of moths comes forth in July— these are always much smaller than the vernal specimens and differently coloured— from these small summer specimens we of course have the large specimens the following spring—
In the common White butterflies—Pieris brassicæ and P. Rapæ the reverse is the case— the vernal specimens are always smaller and more faintly marked than the summer ones.
I enclose a portion of my list with the varieties of the two species of Peronea —all the varieties of Hastiana, I and others have reared in numbers from larvæ found upon sallows at the same time and which were exactly alike—and the perfect insects copulate indiscriminately—so that there is not a shadow of doubt that they all belong to one species The larva of Peristera is unknown but there is not the slightest doubt of all the varities belonging to one species as they appear simultaneously and every intermediate shade may be found. They differ from Hastiana in always having a tuft of Scales on the wing— All the varities of Peronea are liable, like most other species, to slight variations in size— I may just add that it extremely difficult to rear larvae of the minute moths from the eggs—but three or four years I confined two females of P. Hastiana under gauze upon a young sallow in our garden and upon which I had never seen a larva of this species before and in August I took a number from the curled up leaves and bred the greater part of the varieties— I have thus stated a few facts but can throw little or no light upon this interesting subject— There was nothing particular about the packing of the box— I always send parcels to the post done up in a similar manner—
I shall always be most happy to hear from and glad to serve you in any way in my power
and with best wishes believe me | My dear Sir | Yours very
Sincerely | Henry Doubleday

Food Network is a Canadian English language Category A specialty channel with programming related to food, cooking, cuisine, and the food industry. Food Network is a joint venture between Shaw Media and Scripps Networks Interactive.
Before the launch of Food Network Canada, the American service, Food Network was available in Canada since 1997. Food Network became one of the more popular foreign cable channels available in Canada, which prompted the creation of a Canadian version of the American service, which would then be able to access ad revenue through commercials under Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulations.
The licence for Food Network Canada was approved by the CRTC in early 2000. The channel was launched in October of that year; on the day of the launch, the American service was removed from the list of foreign channels eligible to be broadcast in Canada.
On January 18, 2008, a joint venture between Canwest and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners known as CW Media bought Alliance Atlantis and gained AAC's interest in Food Network.
On October 27, 2010, ownership changed again as Shaw Communications gained control of Food Network as a result of its acquisition of Canwest and Goldman Sachs' interest in CW Media.[1][2] On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced the sale of its 22.58% ownership interest in Food Network to Shaw Media, in exchange for Shaw's 49% stake in ABC Spark.[3] The sale closed in April 2013.[4]
Food Network HD[edit]
On October 5, 2011, Shaw launched Food Network HD, a 1080i high definition simulcast of the standard definition feed.[5]
