Placer renews rivalry with Del Oro
By: Journal Sports Staff
Pfisterer, McCallister take the top prize at Placer's doubles tourney
Placer's battle with Del Oro on the tennis courts Wednesday didn't have many signs of the fierce rivalry that exists between the two schools. Placer coach Tom Isaac was friendly with wife Jen Isaac " the Del Oro coach " and players mingled amiably in the stands. The Hillmen were still happy to get the best of the Golden Eagles at the inaugural Placer Doubles Tournament. Yannic Pfisterer and Cameron McCallister got their stiffest challenge from teammates Dan Ragusano and Mike Fraguglia, whom they beat in a playoff to win the A flight. Del Oro's Spencer Butterfield and Garrett Dublin took third place. The Eagles' Jakob Stevens and Rowan Young claimed the title in the B flight, edging Placer's top girls team of Farrah Dobbas and Marissa Rodriguez. Stevens and Young went 3-0 in the tournament. Seth Alquist and Brandt Steinmetz were third in the B flight. Placer's Kim Aagaard and Marcus DeMartini went 3-0 to win the C flight, edging teammates Dani Neft and Drew Bischel in a playoff for the top spot. Del Oro's Matt Hanson and Sky Young placed third. The Hillmen play coed tennis in the Pioneer Valley League while Del Oro is in the midst of the boys season in the Sierra Foothill League. Both teams will be back in action Friday at Placer as Clovis comes to town for a three-way match. Forest Lake 8, Encina 1 at Lake of the Pines " The Falcons won their second match of the Golden Empire League campaign as freshman Ally Weir posted her first league win. Weir battled for a 7-6 (1), 6-2 win at No. 2 girls singles to highlight Forest Lake's victory. Ali Robinson was a 6-2, 6-3 winner at No. 1. Jen Menary and Caitlin Hanson won 10-0 to remain undefeated in the GEL. Amanda Timmerman and Courtney Turner rolled to a 10-1 win at No. 2 doubles. Troy Douglass and Tony Nicosia picked up a 10-7 win at No. 2 boys doubles. Scott Johnston and Christey Johnston teamed up for a 10-4 win in mixed doubles.

Cover the ground with a beautiful carpet of foliage, thereby reducing erosion and providing a mat that inhibits weeds. Good ground covers spread easily and quickly and will grow underneath other edible plants. They need weeding and or mulching and watering to get established. Since it is often not affordable to plant groundcovers so close together that they cover the ground immediately, people often plant 1-2 feet apart. Plants fill in and cover the ground in a year or two. Chunks of most established ground covers can be removed to extend a planting.

I'm having an issue with categories being changed after switching back and forth from a user. It's been troublesome to re-create it, so I'll best describe the situation when it happens.
I have a custom role, whose posts are generated when the user is created with that role (members on an organization's website, I'm using the Members plugin for managing the custom role). The posts are assigned a non-default category ("member posts"). I've been using User Switching to go back and forth while testing the capabilities of the new custom role.
Sometimes when I switch back to my admin user from one of these members, the post I had been looking at (not even saving or updating) will have been removed from the Member Posts category and assigned the default category. I think I notice this after I've gotten the "careful, <user> is editing this post" message on switching back. Attempting to fix it from the Quick Edit will give me "Saving disabled because <user> is editing this post". If I log out and back in with my admin account, I can change the category back, and all is fine again.
Sorry I don't have better steps to re-create it, but does this ring a bell, or happen to anyone else?

Cost of two wars that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice war crimes.......... " Yes, our intelligence told us ( I mean we told them ) that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction" - George W Bush
Cost of Bush's two wars,,,,,,,,,
How has the U.S. paid for the wars so far? The United States paid for past wars by raising taxes and or selling war bonds. The current wars were paid for almost entirely by borrowing. This borrowing has raised the U.S. budget deficit, increased the national debt, and had other macroeconomic effects, such as raising interest rates. The U.S. must also pay interest on the borrowed money. The interest paid on Pentagon spending alone, so far (from 2001 through FY 2013) is about $259 billion in current dollars.
The U.S. also increased spending on homeland security by more than $455 billion beyond the levels already in place. We include this as excess spending on homeland security that occurred as a result of the war on terror. Considered by many an important part of domestic mobilization for the wars, there continue to be questions about the effectiveness of this spending.
What has already been spent to care for the medical and disability needs of U.S. veterans? The U.S. has already spent $135 billion for both medical care and disability for more than a million veterans of these wars. Each day, more veterans continue to apply to receive their benefits.
Obligations for Future Spending: The costs of war don't end when the fighting stops. Specifically, the U.S. has incurred obligations by fighting the wars. For example, the U.S. is obligated to pay the future medical and disability costs of veterans. As in past wars, medical and disability costs will peak in about 30 to 40 years, totaling an estimated $754 billion.
Unless the U.S. immediately repays the money borrowed for war, there will also be future interest payments. We estimate that interest payments could total about $1 trillion dollars by 2023, or $7 trillion by 2053.
Damn ,those Obama phones are breaking the bank!!
Mission accomplished!
What you fail to mention is Obama failed, what is Obama's cost on keeping these these two wars going and not ending them in a timely manor as he promised, going on 5 years and all the other conflicts Obama got us into? Huh? Can you answer this question you POS? No you can't because you cannot find someones opinion to copy and paste.
Are you that stupid that you cannot post your own work and opinions?

San Diego Scientists at the University of California San Diego said they have identified gene mutations that appear to cause one of the most severe forms of pontocerebellar hypoplasia, an incurable and debilitating neurological disorder that often kills people before they reach adulthood.
The discovery was made by an international team led by Joseph Gleeson, a UC San Diego neuroscientist working at San Diego Rady Children's Hospital. Gleeson said it's possible that a nutritional supplement might be capable of reversing or preventing the disease, but that such treatment hasn't been tested extensively.
The team's research conclusions were published on Aug. 1 in the journal Cell.
Pontocerebellar hypoplasia refers to a group of neurological disorders that vary in severity.
Gleeson, who also has the distinction of being a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, focused on one of the worst types and found that it was likely caused by mutations in the gene AMPD2. These mutations seem to prevent proteins from synthesizing normally, leading a person's neurological system to degrade.
In an interview with U-T San Diego, Gleeson talked about the rate of pontocerebellar hypoplasia cases. "(It) is one of the specific conditions causing cerebral palsy (0.3 percent prevalence) and mental retardation (1 percent to 3 percent prevalence) in children, neither of which is considered a rare condition. Pontocerebellar disorder, constituting a subset of these conditions, is less common, perhaps 1:10,000, but epidemiological data does not exist specifically for this condition."
He and his fellow researchers found that a nutritional supplement made it easier for nerve cells to survive, raising hopes for a treatment against the disorder. The supplement will soon be tested in mice and could lead to clinical trials for humans.

Plymouth police are looking for suspects involved in an alleged battery incident in Centennial Park Wednesday morning.
The female victim told police that she was walking along Greenways Trail in the park and was approached by four Caucasian men in their 20s. They had walked up behind her and one suspect battered her. When she fell to the ground, the suspects then attempted to steal items from her pockets. They then left and the victim was able to escape and call police.

gategroup Announces Provisional Figures for 2012 ZURICH, February 11, 2013 - Today gategroup released provisional figures on 2012 key financials in advance of the audited financial results due on March 14, 2013. The Company expects 2012 total revenues of CHF 2,993 million versus reported revenues of CHF 2,688 million in 2011, and EBITDA of CHF 170.8 million versus CHF 201.7 million in 2011, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 5.7% (2011 of 7.5%). Consistent with its previous announcements, gategroup implemented restructuring measures in 2012 to principally address reduced profitability in its European Airline Solutions business. Due to the ongoing weak outlook for European airlines, gategroup has undertaken additional restructuring and will reduce the carrying value of certain assets to reflect current market trends. Accordingly, combined restructuring and impairment charges are expected to be CHF 73.9 million and will result in an estimated loss for the year of CHF 56.9 million. Net Income excluding these one-offs would be approximately CHF 17.0 million for 2012. In view of the expected reported loss for the period the Board will not propose a dividend for the financial year 2012 to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. gategroup reports a total revenue of CHF 2,993 million corresponding to growth of 11.3% compared to the audited revenues of CHF 2,688 million for 2011. EBITDA of CHF 170.8 million was achieved compared to EBITDA of CHF 201.7 in 2011, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 5.7% (2011 of 7.5%). The trading performance of gategroup's European Airline Solutions business continued to be adversely impacted by market conditions and the consequential financial pressure on European airlines in 2012. While the rest of its global business showed growth and stable results, this was not sufficient to compensate for the weaker results in the European Airline Solutions business, which represents approximately 40% of gategroup's revenue. The Company has implemented restructuring measures in its Airlines Solutions European business in order to align its operations to compensate for the weaker market. These initiatives include direct labor savings, indirect labor rightsizing, back office streamlining and portfolio optimization measures. Consistent with announcements in its half-year and third-quarter reports, the implementation of restructuring measures will continue into 2013. Additional measures have also been undertaken to address the ongoing weak performance and outlook for the European airline industry. Accordingly a total provision of CHF 22.2 million will be made in 2012, predominantly for European restructuring costs. The initiatives being implemented are expected to have an increasingly positive impact on the operations through 2013. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2012 gategroup will take an additional non-cash impairment charge of CHF 51.1 million, the majority of which is related to assets in the European Airline Solutions business. These asset impairments are one-time adjustments impacting the 2012 results. Combined restructuring and impairment charges accordingly amount to CHF 73.9 million for 2012 compared to net charges in 2011 of CHF 4.3 million. This is expected to result in a Net Loss for 2012 of CHF 56.9 million. Excluding the one-time restructuring and impairment charges of CHF 73.9 million the Net Income for 2012 would be approximately CHF 17.0 million. The Balance Sheet of the Group remains strong, however, in view of the expected reported loss for the period the Board will not propose a dividend for the financial year 2012 to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The restructuring initiated in 2012 in the European Airline Solutions business will address the known market degradation experienced across the European customer base. Given the ongoing intense pressure on European airlines, the Company is prepared to address any further curtailments that certain customers may make during 2013. While the trading conditions in Europe are expected to remain challenging in 2013, the rest of gategroup's business portfolio, representing approximately 60% of the Group, is on track and performing well. North America continues to demonstrate steady expansion in revenues and margins, supported by a stable market outlook. Across the Emerging Markets, the strong revenue growth achieved in 2012 will result in stronger EBITDA in 2013. The newly formed Product and Supply Chain Solutions business is expected to continue its strong top-line and stable margin development. In aggregate the strengthening of these businesses will be flattened by the outlook in Europe. gategroup expects nominal growth in revenues in 2013 and projects an EBITDA margin in the range of 5.5% to 6.0%. The Group releases its full audited financial results on March 14, 2013, and will provide further information also, with regard to the outlook, at that time.

|C-reactive protein and procalcitonin during febril attacks in PFAPA syndrome.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22658448 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVES: To assess the levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in children diagnosed with PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis) during their febrile attacks. METHODS: 23 patients with diagnosis of PFAPA included into the study prospectively during a three years period. In these patients, CRP and PCT values were recorded during 78 febrile episodes. Furthermore, 20 patients with diagnosis of pneumonia were chosen as a control group and their CRP and PCT values were measured. Normal reference values for CRP and PCT were 0-10mg/L and 0-0.5ng/mL, respectively. RESULTS: Mean CRP and PCT values of patients with PFAPA were 94.8±71.6mg/L and 0.29±0.14ng/mL, respectively. In control group, mean CRP value was 153.2±26mg/L and PCT was 1.59±0.53ng/mL. CRP and PCT were high in control group. CRP was detected high and PCT was normal in PFAPA. Compared to control group, in PFAPA group, CRP values were not significantly (p>0.05) and PCT values were significantly lower (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: During febrile episodes in the patients with diagnosis of PFAPA, CRP values were substantially elevated, whereas PCT values were within normal levels. Concomitant assessment of CRP and PCT in addition to clinical diagnostic criteria may be of help in making diagnosis and distinguishing febrile attacks from infections. However, studies in larger groups are required.

Re: Create our own Camos?????Shadowdeath87 Feb 25, 2014 4:19 AM (in response to luckyou89)
To make it so that we would create our own camos would probably be too much for them to do not to mention that Ghosts is already a 32gb download what do you think it would be to put in even more personalization options? I can see how to do it though. they could give us the option like they do with creating our own emblem for our clan. If they put the same type of system in place for ghosts then it could work
Re: Create our own Camos?????luckyou89 Feb 25, 2014 11:18 PM (in response to Shadowdeath87)
Yeah i see what you mean. But im just asking for us to be able to just make a purple,black,red etc on a gun and then make the color of our choice to be a shiny chrome finish. Something different but not too complicated.
Re: Create our own Camos?????ShocKuMzzz Feb 25, 2014 9:05 AM (in response to luckyou89)
Not to mention, it would have to be tightly moderated because of all the perverts that would try to put on some nasty camos.
Re: Create our own Camos?????SPETSNAZ_MOCKBA Feb 25, 2014 9:46 PM (in response to luckyou89)
Yeah, I couldn't count how many swastikas made of penises (not to mention female genitalia and boops) I saw in BO2 emblems. Camoes would be even worse 'cause it'd be on a weapon.
Re: Create our own Camos?????A5hman1987 Feb 25, 2014 11:31 PM (in response to luckyou89)
Although the idea is quite cool, it just wouldn't be feasible,
From the implementation / programming to the size of the game or moderating the content.
Plus there are a lot of micro transaction DLC camos, if we could make our own they wouldn't be as rare / exclusive.
I always find there are plenty of cool camo's to pick and quite like the spectrum camo im rocking right now,.
Re: Create our own Camos?????Ahosek13 Mar 7, 2014 3:12 PM (in response to luckyou89)
I think they should make pro team camos. Like Optic, NV, Faze, coL, etc.
Re: Create our own Camos?????Diosesdebil Mar 15, 2014 9:09 PM (in response to Ahosek13)
One of my favorite topics, I think this is possible but not custom camos, just picking the design you want like (Tiger Stripe, Digital others included...) and than adding your choice of colors to it.. I hope the Character customization sticks around but maybe with a little more customization ( changing colors of body count masks, Helmets, Ghillie Suits even Fatigue color) I just wish the design a emblem feature was a permanent fixture

Jann Arden and her dog get the 'boot' from VIA train
Singer and her 'four-pound dog' Midi forced off train in Oshawa becaused of VIA's no-pets policy in passenger cars.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Jann Arden took to Twitter to air her frustrations after she and her tiny canine companion were "booted off" a VIA rail train Sunday.
"You guys suck," she tweeted at VIA following the incident. "A four-pound dog in a bag and you boot me off in the middle of nowhere? Nice…"
"The middle of nowhere" in this case was Oshawa, where Arden then tweeted that she rented a car and, along with pint-sized Midi, continued on to Ottawa.
Arden was on the way to the capital from Toronto to put on a performance at the National Arts Centre Sunday night.
Arden reassured her fans over Twitter, telling them she was in a town car and that the show would go on. She also told VIA, among other things, that it could "eat her bra."
She said she and her "Starbucks coffee"-sized dog were asked to disembark as they posed a "security threat to allergy sufferers."
VIA's policy stipulates that it doesn't allow pets in passenger cars, with the exception of guide dogs. All other animals must make their journey in the baggage car.
Malcolm Andrews, a spokesman with VIA, said in an email that the company is "very sorry for this unfortunate situation."
He reiterated that passengers of the furry variety must travel in the heated baggage car, and that their owners can visit them as needed. They can also be walked at stops on longer trips.
"Ms Arden may not have been aware of this policy prior to her trip, and if we slipped up on that front, we apologize."
Arden said over Twitter that she "went past five employees" who said nothing to her.
Andrews couldn't confirm whether that was true, but he said that if an employee noticed the dog, they likely would have intervened.
Arden's comments on Twitter drew the ire of both supporters and haters. Some said pets are family and therefore should be able to travel with their owners, while others said they agreed with VIA's policy due to allergy concerns.

A call Tuesday afternoon about a person with a gun near El Dorado High School led to a precautionary security lockdown at several schools in far East El Paso.
The lockdown was sparked by an anonymous call at about 1:30 p.m. that a person with a gun had been seen near El Dorado High School, Detective Mike Baranyay, a police spokesman, said.
Police checked the area but nobody with a gun was found, Baranyay said.
Socorro Independent School District spokesman Daniel Escobar said that El Dorado and other nearby schools went into a lockdown at about 1:50 p.m. as a precaution. By 2:30 p.m., the lockdown was lifted after the El Paso Police Department said that the area was safe, Escobar said.
The other schools that went into the lockdown were Chester Jordan, Ituarte, Hurshel Antwine elementary schools, Paso Del Norte School and Hernando Middle School.

Tony Dungy says Peyton Manning's timing, chemistry with receivers are off
Tony Dungy, an analyst on NBC's "Football Night in America," coached Peyton Manning for seven seasons in Indianapolis, helping the now Broncos quarterback to a Pro Bowl selection each season in that span, as well as a Super Bowl title and Super Bowl MVP award, in 2006.
As a coach, Dungy saw some of Manning's finest moments in his 17-plus-year career. Now as an analyst, he's watching from afar as Manning endures seemingly endless criticism, even calls for his benching.
In advance of the Broncos' Sunday Night Football meeting with the Packers, Dungy — along with fellow NBC analysts Cris Collinsworth and Rodney Harrison — spoke with local and national media about what he's seen from his former quarterback, and what's missing in the Broncos' offense.

Hot weather flings don't always cool with the season
When Jess and Greg Green first started dating as counselors at a summer camp, they didn't imagine the relationship would last beyond the summer, let alone turn into marriage.
But last week, the Hampton couple — parents of Abigail, 9, and James, 6 — celebrated their 14th anniversary.
"We both were thinking it would just be fun," says Jess Green, 37. "It was definitely just a summer thing in the beginning, but then we stayed together. ... It was one of those things where we just knew."
Summer romances can spark and flare into fireworks that quickly cool to ash. But, sometimes, the relationships last well beyond the season.
What makes people inclined toward love in the summer?
"It's because it's put in a specific compartment that all the elements are there," says Wendy Walsh, a Los-Angeles based relationship expert and online psychotherapist. "You don't have the stress from your everyday life. You can be a fantasy ... and we're talking about summertime, when you're not wearing much clothes. All of that is a setup for falling in love.
"The question is whether you can take your summer romance into the fall," says Walsh, author of books including "The 30-Day Love Detox: Cleanse Yourself of Bad Boys, Cheaters and Commitment Phobes and Find Your Perfect Relationship."
"The answer comes only with time to see what happens when you get into your old places," she says.
Steve Ward, Philadelphia-based chief executive officer of Master Matchmakers, has the same observation.
"When you're on vacation or when you're on any sort of holiday — when you're just not working — you're in a different frame of mind," says Ward, executive producer of the VH1 show "Tough Love."
"People don't act the same as they ordinarily would when they're on vacation," Ward says, describing the free-spirited nature of the sunny season. "You kind of allow yourself to connect with people with the expectation that this is not going to last. ... It almost makes it easier to date someone if nobody expects it to work than if everyone does expect it to work."
When functioning in day-to-day life, for example, people tend to base their dating decisions on economics, Ward says. When money is tight, people socialize less. But summer romances often arise from situations where people have money to spend because they are vacationing.
What makes these relationships last after the sunny, "honeymoon" phase ends?
Ward says it depends on the chemistry and the commitment each partner has. Going back to everyday life will test the strength of that connection. Often, summer-romance partners don't even live in the same area the rest of the year, so they will be attempting a long-distance relationship if they want to continue.
Often, people enter summer relationships with the "Let's just have fun" mindset, but then feel surprised to find themselves falling in love, Ward says.
"The next thing you know, you really care about this person, and you want it to last," he says.
That's what happened to the Greens, who started their relationship thinking it was a fun, temporary thing. After the summer ended and they returned to their colleges, Greg Green regularly drove 14 hours to Maine from Ohio just to spend a weekend with his girl.
"I think I knew sooner than she did," Greg Green says. "I knew very shortly that she was the person I really wanted to be with. Within weeks, I knew there was something really, really good that I felt about her."
Jennifer and Calvin Robol of Peters met during a brief encounter on a summer vacation in Ocean City, Md., during the '90s, when she was celebrating her 21st birthday with a friend.
At a Jamaican restaurant, Calvin Robol of Bethel Park and his friend approached their table, sat down and started talking. Jennifer Robol — then a resident of Gettysburg, Adams County, where she grew up — was impressed by the young man, who was studying music education at Duquesne University.
They parted ways after that meeting, but she couldn't forget about Calvin and how much they had in common. She decided to take a chance and look him up, based on the limited information she had. She knew Calvin's first name, knew he was from a Pittsburgh-area municipality that began with a "B" and worked at his father's auto-salvage business. She called one of those area businesses, and Calvin Robol — now an IT software developer — actually answered the phone. He was pleasantly surprised, and the couple began a long-distance relationship before marrying in the summer of 1999.
Calvin and Jennifer Robol — now 42 and 40, respectively — celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary Aug. 14. They have three children: Tony, 12, Brody, 4, and Alaina, 3.
"It was the most crazy thing," Jennifer Robol says. "There was just a voice inside of me that said, 'You've got to quit being so timid. Take a chance. You never know what kind of thing could happen in your life.' "
When Pat Mele and her husband, the Rev. Harold Mele, met as teenagers at a local swimming pool, something magical sparked on that summer Sunday afternoon in 1956.
Harold Mele, now 74 and an evangelist, found out where she lived after meeting her that afternoon, then showed up at her door that evening — and that, says Pat Mele, 72, was that.
Though the couple, celebrating their 55th anniversary Aug. 31, went through a few breakups when they were younger, they mostly have been together ever since that day. The Lower Burrell couple now have two children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

This year's October surprise that is getting the biggest play in the media is the revelation that California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman once employed a housekeeper-- at $23 an hour -- who turned out to be an illegal immigrant. It is great political theater, with activist lawyer Gloria Allred putting her arm protectively around the unhappy-looking woman.
But why anyone should be unhappy at getting $23 an hour for housekeeping is by no means clear. Maybe she is unhappy because Meg Whitman fired her when she learned that her housekeeper was an illegal immigrant, despite false documents that indicated she was legal when she was hired.
What is Meg Whitman supposed to be guilty of? Not being able to tell false documents from real ones? Is that what voters are supposed to use to determine who to vote for as governor of California? A far more important question is whether voters can tell false issues from real ones.
October surprises are especially phony when they are used on behalf of someone with a long track record in government, like Jerry Brown, who has held government jobs ranging from state attorney general to mayor of Oakland to governor of the state.
What did Jerry Brown do the last time he was governor? That ought to tell us a lot more than whether Meg Whitman is a document expert. She is not running for a job as a document expert.
One appointment by Governor Jerry Brown ought to tell us a lot about his ideology. His most famous-- or infamous-- appointment was making Rose Bird chief justice of the California supreme court.
She over-ruled 64 consecutive death penalty verdicts and upheld none. Apparently no judge or jury could ever give a murderer a trial perfect enough to suit Rose Bird.
To hear Rose Bird and her supporters tell it, she was just "upholding the law." But, fortunately, the California voters saw right through that pretense, and realized that she was doing just the opposite-- imposing her own personal opposition to the death penalty in the guise of interpreting the law. No California chief justice appointee had ever been voted off the bench by the voters before Rose Bird, but she was roundly defeated when 67 percent of the voters voted against her in a confirmation election required by California law.

M&S food buoys profit but clothing lines struggleComment on this story
London - British retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) posted a 16 percent gain in annual net profit yesterday, buoyed by rising sales despite a poor performance for clothing.
The group, which is involved in an investment and rejuvenation programme, did well with its food lines. Earnings after taxation rose to £524.8 million (R9.1 billion) in the 52 weeks to March 29, from £453.5m in the previous financial year.
Total sales increased 2.7 percent to £10.3bn, M&S said.
However, underlying profit before tax slid 3.9 percent to £623m, hit partly by a drop in sales of general merchandise, which includes clothing. That marked the third fall in a row for underlying annual profit.
On a like-for-like basis, which strips out the impact of new floor space, British sales grew 0.2 percent, with general merchandise down 1.4 percent but food up 1.7 percent.
"We are focused on improving our performance in general merchandise and were pleased to see early signs of improvement," chief executive Marc Bolland said.
"Our food business had a very strong year, consistently outperforming the market."
Bolland has overseen an investment programme that ploughed hundreds of millions of pounds into refreshing the business.
"Three years ago, we recognised the scale of investment required to transform our business, investing to strengthen our foundations and improve our customer offer. We are making solid progress on this journey and are now focused on delivery."
However, the retailer acknowledged that general merchandise profit margins had suffered from promotions and price discounts. - Sapa-AFP

The stunning Norwegian flora will illustrate an undulating valley region with deciduous and evergreen trees, provided by Lorberg. The planted areas will be defined by natural stone from Lundhs, with a centrepiece of a dramatic 40-year-old stunted pine tree set in natural larvikitt - Norwegian national stone - rock that has been 'rescued' from a quarry.
A sleek central pavilion with a 'living cube' is a space that adapts to the seasons, immersing the senses outdoors. Designed as an extension of the home for use throughout the year the structure features intriguing applications – a discreet kitchen, shower and even day bed. An undulating water feature surrounds the pavilion reflecting the tranquil Norwegian fjords.
Creative, yet subtle solutions to protecting the environment are intrinsic to the design. Kebony wood is used as a sustainable alternative to tropical timber for the decking and pavilion structure while energy is created from bio ethanol burners.
Recycled glass will be used within the living cube, tinted to provide unusual lighting effects and self cleaning for low maintenance. Natural slate will be applied to terraced areas and granite from Southern Norway for its unique pearly façade. Even the boundary walls will be constructed from an eco-product called Durisol, blocks made from 80% recycled wood, linked together like Lego.
Darren Saines said: 'Inspired by the enchanting natural beauty of Norway, the garden epitomizes traditional outdoor living with a contemporary twist. My design illustrates how a garden can be used through the changing seasons with innovative, low maintenance materials such as Kebony chosen to protect the environment."
Darren Saines has worked with Kebony on a number of projects, and this showcase at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show has been a lifelong ambition made possible with support from the Norwegian Embassy in London, Innovation Norway and other pioneering companies all striving for a protected environment.

The Springfield School District is expecting $4.3 million in federal stimulus funds for special education programs. But the money, pledged early this year, won't arrive for weeks. One reason is that the district only recently applied for it.
The Springfield School District is expecting $4.3 million in federal stimulus funds for special education programs. But the money, pledged early this year, won't arrive for weeks. One reason is that the district only recently applied for it.
The Illinois State Board of Education, which is distributing the money, is encouraging districts to take their time, despite a September 2011 deadline for spending the funds.
Aside from more than $2 billion in federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act MONEY THAT Illinois is using to fulfill its own regular payments to schools, special education programs received the largest share of education funds from the stimulus bill -- more than $500 million. Altogether, the state received nearly $3.2 billion in stimulus education money.
Of the $500 million reserved for special education, only $136 million had been granted by mid-November.
That includes grants for 28 school districts and 20 special ed cooperatives, said David Andel, division administrator of special education services and support for the ISBE, in mid-November.
The ISBE has two people sifting through stacks of applications. The same two ISBE employees also are responsible for processing regular grant applications.
Higher scrutiny
Of the state's 869 school districts, most have applied for special education funds, and roughly two-thirds of the requests have been reviewed, Andel said.
"We've been encouraging them to do some planning," said Bonnie Douglas, a consultant for special education services at the state board and one of the two staffers reviewing the applications.
"When they do write the applications, we want them to be based on some research," Douglas said. "A lot of times, there are a lack of details."
Douglas said she's sent back several applications that were vague about what they intended to spend the money on.
"Supplies and materials," Douglas said, explaining typical language on a returned application. "We want to see types of equipment, computers, assistive technology."
The Springfield School District was among those that took more time to apply. It didn't submit its application until the end of October.
Filling out the application was a challenge, said Leuwania Baker, director of special education for the Springfield School District. The level of transparency required by the federal government for districts wanting stimulus money is "unprecedented," she said.
ISBE officials said they have no idea when they'll be able to take a first look at the district's application. Approving release of the funds could takes weeks after that.
The needs are great
Nearly one in five students in the Springfield School District receives special education services, and many have physical and developmental disibilities that are expensive to deal with. Computers designed for children with severe speech, language and hearing impairments, for instance, can cost $8,000 each.
Page 2 of 3 - Such devices also can be in high demand.
Natalie Mitchell, a resource teacher at Matheny-Withrow Elementary School, recalled a student a couple years ago who needed technological help because handwriting was very difficult for him.
"It was similar to a laptop, and it worked really, really well for him," Mitchell said. "When he moved from our school to an out-of-district school, our district's occupational therapist was here the next day picking it up -- she said there's a huge list of kids waiting for these assistive technology devices."
Some parents think the stimulus funds could be used to improve the district's special education services.
Jane Nicoletta's daughter, Camilla, has Down syndrome and attends a special needs class at Butler Elementary School. Nicoletta likes the school, but her daughter will have to attend third grade elsewhere because the public schools' special needs classrooms for kindergarteners through second graders are in different schools than for students in third through fifth grades.
Nicoletta is worried that Camilla's transition to the new school will be "devastating."
She isn't concerned only about her daughter. If there are kinks in the district's special ed programs, she suggests the one-time stimulus funds present an opportunity to improve the system.
"The really needy and vulnerable — they aren't going to be OK if attention isn't paid," she said.
The district's plans
Neither the ISBE nor the district discloses information in grant applications before they are approved. However, Baker outlined what she wants to do with the funds.
"The hope is to use these funds to upgrade and/or replace computers and software," Baker wrote in an email. "In addition, we would like to build and expand our in-house software libraries and equipment.
Baker also mentioned more training to help people find the best technology for each student.
"It's so individual," she said in an interview. "Finding the right assistive technology to help students with special needs can be a daunting task."
Baker also said the district will spend more on professional development and improving the flow of information to parents.
"There are lots of opportunities that are now available."

Status of Springfield School District's stimulus allocations
The Springfield School District has received $1.55 million, about 15 percent, of the $10.1 million it has been pledged in federal economic stimulus funds. Most of the $1.55 million came in the form of general state aid that the district normally receives every year.
The $1.55 million also includes $44,417 the district used to upgrade kitchen equipment throughout the schools, according to district finance director Agnes Nunn.
*Special education – pledged, but not received $4,331,176.00
Page 3 of 3 - *Low-income – pledged, but not received $4,102,033.00
*Preschool – pledged, but not received $158,304.00
*Equipment assistance grant – pledged and received $44,417.00
*General state aid – pledged and received $1,507,600.78
Total $10,143,530.78
Watching stimulus spending
Several government and independent organizations are monitoring where federal stimulus money is going and how it is spent.
The following Web sites are among those focusing on stimulus money for education:
*Illinois State Board of Education grant decisions
*Explanation of education funds
*Tracks $11.3 billion in federal funds for special education
*Federal government's own site for tracking stimulus spending
Parent ideas
The State Journal-Register surveyed several Springfield parents of children with special needs, asking them how they would spend $4 million the federal government pledged to the Springfield School District in economic stimulus money for special education.
Here is a summary of responses:
*Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices to help students with speech and writing impairments
*AAC training for school district employees
*More extracurricular activities for children with disabilities
*High-quality speech recognition software for students to use at school and home
*Training in programs targeting struggling readers, including multi-sensory approaches
*Training in teaching executive functioning skills (setting goals and priorities, improving working memory, adapting well to change, staying on task)
*Training to teach students with autism and behavior disorders
*Money to hire special education advocates
*More regular-classroom inclusion for special education students
*Support for families with special needs children
*Better services for students about to graduate
